Ok so every now and then, I will try a product that I really like and I decided that I give it a buzz.

Ok so I “meet” a sista friend online who makes her own natural shea butter products and I love, love love natural goodness and small business made. Her name is CeCe and we meet on a mutual networking board.

I recently ordered a Megamix Whip sample with a new scent that she was trying, African Musk. I got the order on Friday and the envelope smelled good and I got excited…just like a kid at Christmas.

Opened the envelope and I not only have my sample of Megamix Whip but I also have a soap sample called Island Passion…woohoo! Free Stuff always ROCKS!

You can find her products online at http://sheaproducts.info/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=3 and tell her Margaret and Lexus Events sent ya!

Enjoy!

No Flame..No Soot..Just Scent. Just Right Candles offers you a SAFE alternative to traditional candle. As the candle melts, it releases your favorite scent throughout your home, dorm, or office, without the danger of flames or the messy hassle of soot. Wickless candles are great for places that do not allow a traditional flame such as classroom, apartment, or assisted living facilities. You don’t have to worry about leaving it on or children and pets burning themselves on the flame.

I’d like to share with you the reason(s) I started UniTee Design and welcome your assistance in achieving “my mission to better educate our children” to brighten our collective future . . .
For more than a dozen years now, I’ve devoted every day to making Detroit a better place to live, work and play. As a marketing professional, I’ve worked alongside a global entrepreneur to develop concepts and companies in the restaurant, media, retail, entertainment, homeland security and technology industries. I also helped my family start a successful company in my hometown of New York City. And, as director of marketing for an international franchise, I trained more than 500 business owners in marketing and public relations.

Because my love for my people and of all children runs deep, I decided to apply my professional experience and business acumen to help in a broader, more meaningful capacity. Lord knows I get so tired hearing about all the problems we face and endure, when what we really need to start talking and being about is solutions.

So, three years ago, while still hard at work in and on Detroit, I started to research and write a business plan for my new company, UniTee Design. As a youth enrichment and ethnic empowerment enterprise, its primary mission is to rally Black Unity so we can find and deliver better ways to ensure our youth have more academic successes. I truly believe education is critical to uplifting the course of our future. And the most effective way to teach our children is together, one community, one parent and one person at a time.

I didn’t think it wise to rely on George or General Motors to give our young generation all they need to succeed, so I decided to produce and sell designer tee-shirts that represented the beautiful colors of our unity to fund leading youth education programs, and would create awareness, dialogue and, most of all, movement in my (and our) mission.

While it took a long leap of strong faith to jump from a well paying job and fruitful career, and put my own monies and my family’s (including a two week old daughter) well being at risk, my sole goal now and every day is to improve the successes of our children by promoting and supporting their quality of life and learning.

Brace Yourself Boutique is a small, independent company based in Southern California.

Brace Yourself was created in 2007 by Myisha Croom–Turner when her self-taught skill making jewelry resulted in a means to earn extra cash. Through her love of nature, travel, and fashion, she began designing numerous bracelets to reflect her many inspirations and style. Her goal has been to create jewelry that is timeless and transcends the changing trends.

Her designs are original, earthy and collaborate well with everything from cotton to couture. In May of 2007, Myisha started preparing for her first marketplace showing in Los Angeles, and to date has participated in several craft fairs, and trade shows throughout California. In November of 2007 she created an indie shopping extravaganza for women called “Sip N’ Shop” Girls Night Out that showcased women business owners and designers.
