Hair New Era

Now, this giveaway is a tad different and I am excited to share it with you all! If you follow me on Twitter, you know that Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I love scarfs, layers, jackets, boots, ect. With that said, Sarita of Feeling Moody reached out to me and offered to sponsor a giveaway. Once, I checked out her online store, I literally fell in love. Not only did I want everything but I bought one of her hand-knit cowls in a beautiful pumpkin color. I LOVE IT and I knew y'all would love her items too. You will be entering this giveaway to win Sarita's "Confident" collar in brick-red, pictured above.

Yes, another giveaway because y'all are amazing and make my "blogging career" worth while!
Watch the video and see what's up for grabs! I LOVE Y'ALL! 

A couple of days ago I posted here that there will be a hair accessory give away! Romney of CoarseDame is giving away one crocheted flower headband to a lucky blog reader. She sent me one last week and I love it. Read below for the directions on how to win this super cute accessory for your curlies! 

Last week one of my Twitter followers,Romney aka @MomToNia, sent me a very cute hair accessory for my curls. I have seen some crocheted hair pieces before and wanted to give them a try but never did. I am so happy I got the opportunity to try one out! Romney sent me a black and pink handmade headband that looks super cute when worn with puff balls or even certain protective styles. At first I wasn't sure how the headband was going to fit over my head and hair. I didn't know that it'd be able to stretch without elastic but it did and I loved how it looked on.

The lovely Candi over at NCJ has been kind enough to send me a coupon code to share with you all. Candi's pieces are so beautiful and chic, I love her work! If you are interested in saving 10% on your purchase type code: "GOODHAIR101" at check out! ENJOY!

I am very excited to announce that I have teamed up with the beautiful Camille of Peace Images for a FABULOUS giveaway! This giveaway is open to my U.S. blog and Twitter followers ONLY! You MUST be a follower to enter and win. See below for details on how you can win these amazing handcrafted "Black Roses" earrings.

LoveNWright!

I have been creating jewelry for a few years now and I just recently began selling some of my pieces online. I initially picked-up jewelry design from my mom, who has been creating jewelry for about fifteen years and who I now design a lot of pieces with. We are always in collaboration and I enjoy that very much. If I had to describe my work I would have to say that it is a manifestation of a gift, blessing, and an honor coupled with faith (which I am always working to increase). With that said, I strive to create jewelry that is meant to adorn the soul and to encourage self-love and acceptance. I believe that we should all have reverence for our individuality and uniqueness and the core things that make us who we are, be it cultural or spiritual. We are all innately special and we need to celebrate that fact as well as respecting the right for others to be who they are. I like offering handmade one of kind pieces.  The majority of my pieces are hand drawn, hand cut and hand textured; I feel that it allows me to actually infuse my work with good energy and put my handprint on the pieces. I like unique items that are not perfect but make the perfect pair or piece.  I limit the ready made findings and massed produced items that I incorporate in my work so that my pieces can maintain their own individuality.  I also love rich and vibrant colors and unexpected color combinations and textures which I try to incorporate into my pieces. The result is goddess jewelry that is one of a kind which symbolizes individuality; along with being boho tribal chic with an afrocentric flair and of course…naturally glamorous.
Thank you Alex and your wonderful readers for allowing me to share!

Ok so, many of y'all know that I deleted my old Twitter page and started a new one. New account, same name (@AisforAlex). I had so many natural hair ladies following me and I know many are like "where the heck did Alex go...?" I am still around and still tweeting. I decided that this new page will be a little less personal and more for networking, blog related stuff, #naturalhair talk and positive uplifting tweets. I may throw in my occasional "make you laugh, obnoxious" tweet but there won't be many of those. LOL, I know a lot of you used to laugh at how silly I could be on Twitter but some of my followers may get offended by my humor SO I have decided to sensor what I say a tad bit  more.

Anywho, I have decided to muster up a 1,000k follower challenge. My old page had over 1,000 followers and I really did appreciate the fact that most of them were my natural hair family! It meant a lot that y'all tuned in and chatted with me about hair and other fun stuff. SOOOOO, to show my appreciation I am going to host a FAB giveaway that I am sure you all will LOVE. Once I reach the 1,000 follower mark on my new page TWO LUCKY #naturalhair followers will be given gift baskets filled with my top selling Safi Products AND my favorite things like, nail polish, perfume, make up, hair accessories, ect. I want this basket to be a fun and exciting thing for you all. The details on the give-away are below.
