Now tell me...what's on YOUR Christmas list?

Sunday Night Live! | The NZURI Experience

I'll preface this by saying I had a really REALLY good time at the Nzuri Natural Hair, Health and Beauty Festival!!  This expo is the biggest one in Houston and it really brought out a great crowd this year.  I got to meet SO many people, and furthermore, forge fantastic new friendships and business relationships.  Being able to represent This Hair of Mine on such a large platform is truly a blessing...sometimes I have to pinch myself so I know it's real! 

Enough with the sappy stuff, here's a video that I did with my buddy Tiffany Kowalski of Venus Fly Naps, and fab photographer behind the lens of Plush Portraits.  We were virtual mirror images of each other, from our The Natural Me headwraps (hey Samori!!) cascading curls, golden eyeshadow and our limited edition Naturally Supreme GOLDEN GIRL shirts.  So we just HAD to do a video :)  I think this really captures the essence of the spirit of Nzuri, not to mention how much fun we had! 

Enjoy the Lisa & Tiffany Chronicles :)

The NZURI Experience: Sights of 2011

 

 

The Nzuri Natural Hair, Health and Beauty Fesitval is coming near and I wanted to make sure you all know what's in store if you come out to the event!!

There will be THOUSANDS in attendance and you don't want to be sitting at home missing all the actions!  Over Saturday & Sunday the Reliant Center will be packed with all sorts of natural hair goodness, and every one from locs to loose hair, updos and fierce fros, braids to curly curls will be represented.  I still am not sure how I'm going to wear my hair yet, but I'm sure it'll be nice and luscious :)

Let me give you a quick pictoral rundown from last year...my very 1st official blogging event :)

Meet NATURAL CHICA Sunday December 9th!

If you're in Houston next weekend then you'll certainly be in for a treat!  The beautiful Natural Chica will be hosting a Meet & Greet during the Nzuri Natural Hair, Health & Beauty Festival at Reliant Center. 

Mae has been documenting her natural hair journey on her YouTube channel and she's got some absolutely gorgeous hair!!  I've yet to meet her in person, but it's clear to tell through her videos that she's such a bright spirit and a genuine personality.  Take a peek below at one of my (still) all time favorite Natural Chica videos!
