Zani Hair Company Final Review : Virgin Brazilian Body Wave

I've been in the reviewing mood lately! This review is of the Virgin Brazilian Body Wave I have installed, 2 bundles of 16 inches from Zani Hair Company. I've had it in for about a month and a half now. I'm not a hair guru or "weaveologist", just trying out protective styles because as of Dec. 2011, I've been transitioning into going Natural!




Shipping/Packaging: Was cool. I ordered on a Friday and received the hair that following Weds. or Thurs. The hair came tied with purple ribbon, and she included a hair care/instructions sheet.

Pros: The hair is really soft and low maintenance. Blends in really well with my natural hair. Her customer service was great, she was very helpful. The price of the hair was reasonable as well.

Cons: The hair did have a distinct smell. It went away with washing but came back when hair was wet or when I sweated in my hair. Also, the initial wave pattern went away when I washed my hair for the first time. I liked that better, so I'm not sure if this is a "con."

Overall: Hair is pretty nice. I would recommend it to somebody. I would give the hair 4 out of 5 ReddLips!

This was my 1st experience with Virgin Hair, what should I look for next time? Leave comments below!
xoxo!

Designs By Dayy Phone Case Initial Review!

Hey Reddlipstick Readers! I reviewed a phone case for y'all from designsbydayy.com.



The case was delivered Monday and received on Wednesday, so that's an A+ for shipping (which was said to be 2-3 business days).
I love the fact that the case came with a Thank You Card and a small gift! Soo thoughtful.
She designs for ALL phone cases, and iPads. She also does custom cases.
The case is true to life, VERY pretty. The only problem so far is that it doesn't cover or protect the front of the phone. BUT, it is a fashionable case, not solely meant to protect. Also, she has different case designs, some including front pieces.
This was just the INITIAL review, so I haven't had it long enough to see how it holds up over time.
ALL IN ALL, it was 5 out of 5 ReddLips! Definitely love the design.
Cases are $50, and I do believe they are worth it.

Voting 101 With Bakari Sellers

With the Democratic National Convention being held in Charlotte, NC this week and the Presidential Election being right around the corner, I felt like it was important to not only keep my readers entertained, but INFORMED about the importance of voting!
I talked with Morehouse Graduate, House of  Representative Member AND First Vice Chairman of the SC Democratic Political Party, 27-year-old Bakari Sellers. Read&Indulge as he talks about the importance of being informed, voting, and his personal opinions about the race.


I: A lot of the people voting this time around are first-time voters, some just turning 18, and some are just getting registered. Why do you think it’s so important young adults ages 18-22 to vote?
B: 2008 was just the beginning. We need to make sure that it’s more for the good of country, something as simple as Pell Grants. We need to make sure that we are very vocal..because every vote really does matter, that’s not rhetoric at all, that’s the truth. We need to make sure that we are part of the process. If we aren’t apart of the process, our voice won’t be heard on Election Day.

I: That brings me to my next question; a lot of people choose not to vote because they feel as if their vote doesn't count. What do you think about that?
