My Latest Obsession!!!

There is nothing like fresh breath. As I was walking down Grand Ave in St. Paul yesterday I decided to walk into one of my favorite places The Garden of Eden. I was browsing and came across this toothpaste. It was kind of pricey but worth it at small tube will run you about 7.00 Marvis Toothpaste. Check it out! Great for late nights and early mornings.

This weekend was "very different"( Tamar voice) for me I faced alot of challenges in places and relationships that I have not explored in ages. Each day of the weekend I faced a situation or person that I put in my "I don't want to deal with it box". I had to stop and think about what it meant and try to come to peace on my terms of course but when I got home Sunday, I began to think about the beauty of it and the gift of peace facing those people, places, and things. To my surprise I got up lighter in Monday and thanked God for his grace and mercy and wrote about it. I'm sharing with yall over my cup of Skin Detox by Yogi Teas. www.yogiproducts.com or at your local coop and whole foods store.

Beauty is integrity, love,kindness, and simplicity. Beauty transcends the physical and focuses on the spellbound. Beauty is the brave of heart and not the faint of heart, It does not react out of fear and does not hold grudges. Beauty is a soft hand and a warm stroke. Beauty is a helping hand and a kind word. Beauty is generous never greedy. Beauty is peace filled and not based on what is happening. Beauty is that UN- speakable joy that fills your heart and bleeds out into your family, friends and community. Beauty can be complex but understated and to understand beauty is timeless and age can never tarnish it.

Nails

Right now I am in love with Vegan Nail polish. Something about the finish and the shades thrill me. My favorite is "Swagger" by Ginger and Liz. It has a nice finish and pops on any skin tones. It can be found at www.gingerandliz.com. I admire and support this company because the company was started and the brainchild of two women of color.

Some salons have not caught on or offer an alternative for those who want to have an all natural and chemically free polish. Here are some alternatives to add to your collection.

Zoya Nail polish can be found at Vizi salon in Uptown, Minneapolis or http://www.zoya.com/.

Another honorable mention is Sparitual Nail Polish line and the shade Its Raining Men. This line can be found at any Juut Salon and at www.sparitual.com.
