			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Answer is probably not! I have highlighted adaru&#8217;s website to the right.  It is one of my baby&#8217;s &#8211; be kind!  <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>It is also one of the many reasons why I am a passionate advocate for natural hair!  One of my many past times happens to be reading Natural Hair blogs, yahoo groups, listserves, etc. </p>
<p> My favorite?</p>
<p> NappyHair Yahoo Group!  It is chock full of interesting members, posts, photos, you name it!  It is also where I found this fabulous link today: <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/photogalleries/textured-tresses-diane-da-costa-transforms-tara-roberts-dreadlocks-with-bob-hair-cut">http://www.stylelist.com/photogalleries/textured-tresses-diane-da-costa-transforms-tara-roberts-dreadlocks-with-bob-hair-cut</a>!!! IF YOU WEAR YOUR HAIR LOC&#8217;D &#8211; I hope that you appreciate this great coverage on a one woman (Tara Roberts) loc transformation!!! </p>
<p><em>My only criticism is that she didn&#8217;t use 100% organic all-natural products.  But great piece nonetheless!</em></p>
<p>Speaking of great pieces &#8211; check out my girls in this new campaign for hydro-veil &#8211; if you know me- you can pick out my girls!!  <a href="http://www.hydroveil-usa.com/">Check it here.</a> (Click play on the video) Shout -out to great publicist, Trina M. SEEDEO of Style-Root for being the brainchild behind the campaign!</p>
<p>Natural or not I hope you all have a fabulous hair day!</p>

Since there is an air conditioning outage at my 9 – 5, it was able to work from home today!  YIPPEE!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Shruti;"><span style="font-size:small;">An almost perfect day</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Shruti;"><span style="font-size:small;">(well it’s only 3:00 p.m.)</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Shruti;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Shruti;"><span style="font-size:small;">Since there is an air conditioning outage at my 9 – 5, it was able to work from home today!<span>  </span>YIPPEE! </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Shruti;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Shruti;"><span style="font-size:small;">I was able to sleep a little later. Enjoy a quick breakfast with my son and retreat at the computer at my leisure.<span>  </span>Cleaning up my work e-mail box (nearly impossible), enjoy a healthy lunch with my husband all with the ease of not having to be “in the office”.<span>  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Shruti;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Shruti;"><span style="font-size:small;">It feels great to sit on my patio, turn on my music and just enjoy the beautiful day and occasional breeze – all while crossing out items on my to-do list! It is a beautiful feeling.<span>  </span>The taste of freedom is so sweet to me, it’s almost intoxicating.<span>  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Shruti;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Shruti;"><span style="font-size:small;">I am reminded today, more than ever, that I can achieve more balance being amongst the things I love most in the world, my family – nature and fresh air – and good music. Simple things that the average person does not have the opportunity to experience in the day to day rat race!<span>  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Shruti;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Shruti;"><span style="font-size:small;">It is time for me to exterminate any remnants of rats in my life.<span>  </span>This is a gentle reminder that my number one goal in work and life is to find MY way to make MY ideal amount of money without a traditional J-O-B! I am praying that will happen with my businesses this year!<span>  </span>Check them out:<span>  </span></span><a href="http://www.adaru.com/"><span style="font-size:small;color:#800080;">www.adaru.com</span></a><span style="font-size:small;"> and </span><a href="http://www.thecharlymag.wordpress.com/"><span style="font-size:small;">www.thecharlymag.wordpress.com</span></a><span style="font-size:small;"> !</span></span></p>
