Howdy y’all! Ouidad sent over some new goodies for me to try out and share what I thought with you lovely people. So… let’s get to it! Curl Recovery Ultra Nourishing Cleansing Oil (Sulfate-Free)- 8.5 fl. oz. $25 {Dry, Damaged Textures} Claim: Ultra Nourishing Cleansing Oil is a foaming, water-activated cleanser with an advanced oil base that gently removes dirt and build-up while restoring essential moisture. Our proprietary CR-4 Repair Complex™ – including nutrient-rich Mafura Butter and Kalahari Melon Seed Oil – envelopes the hair shaft with a cushion-like coating of concentrated fatty acids that are vital to rebuilding, nourishing and protecting hair in need of repair. Silk proteins and coconut oils bind to the cuticle to sustain hydration and resist damage while enhancing body and shine. SULFATE-FREE & PARABEN-FREE.

The natural hair community came to a screeching halt as social media was flooded with photos of this amazing red carpet look created by none other than the talented Felicia Leatherwood, natural hair stylist to the stars! I know you’re probably thinking, “Wow, girl you late!” But you’d be wrong LOL! Trust. I’ve been all over this since the very night Miss Parris walked that fancy coif down the red carpet of the 2013 SAG Awards. Still, I couldn’t let another week go by without an honorable mention on the blog!

And don’t we just LOVE seeing our natural celeb sistas flaunting their coils and curls for the world to see? It was a beautiful thing. Not since Viola Davis at the Oscars did we cause such a stir!…
So!!!! You already know how much I love Karen’s Body Beautiful from my giveaway post back in September. If you follow me on Instagram and Facebook, you must be sick of my constant posts of weekly KBB deals! LOL! I’m sure you’ve heard the buzz by now that KBB was coming to select Target stores this month but we all got the news via Twitter that “the magic date is March 19th“. I’m beyond excited… Weeeeeeee!! ^_^ Back at her Clinton Hill shop, creator Karen Tappin-Saunderson mixed up her amazing butters and things right there in a sleek kitchen for all to see. Of course to meet demand for Target consumers, technology has replaced Karen’s loving hands in the production process. But have no fear! As she told me via Instagram, “Nothing. Will. Change.” Boom! LOL “Oh, except some of the products will be larger for the same price!” O_O Laawwd self-control, Toia…SELF-CONTROL!! In case…
