The 10 Spot: Items I bought for $10 or less


Hey Ladies here are some items I bought for $10 or less! I love finding a good deal on anything being a barginista can be hard, especially when you like nice things like me.

Roux Porosity Control Conditioner

I went to Sally's for my mom and they had 3 tables of items from a damage truck. I searched and searched and I found 2 little bottles of conditioner for .99 cent each! Yippee!!!

World Market Earrings
Okay yall if you have a World Market in your area please go and buy some jewelry. This store is a best kept secret.!! I bought the earrings below for only $4.99!!!


More Earrings!!
The earrings I bought below are hand made by Africans in Ghana!! I bought them from my favorite vendor in the flea market and I bought them for only $6.00!!! I get so many compliments on them and my mother keeps trying to steal them!!

Coconut & Hisbicus Curl Enhancing Smoothie

Shea Moistrue
Coconut & Hisbicus Curl Enhancing Smoothie

So, I bought a jar of Shea Moistures coconut & hisbicus curl enhancing smoothie. I’ve been using it for about 2 weeks now. I really like this product for my hair! It makes it very soft and manageable. Since, I’ve started using it I find my hair easier to untangle & this product works on wet or dry hair

If my hair gets a lil dry during the day I take my spray bottle and mist my hair. Instantly it goes right back to being soft again. The only thing about this product I don’t like is the buildup it leaves after awhile. You can tell when its time to wash you’re hair because you will see gritty looking traces of product in your hair.

Overall this product is good and you can buy it for 9.99 along with other Shea Moisture products at Target.com or and Target store.

September 11, 2001

I will never forget the day when terrorist decided to crash planes into the twin towers. I was on my way to work and the radio announcer stopped the music to announce that a plane had crashed into a building in New York City. I couldn't believe what I was hearing and my heart went out to the families affected. When I got to work the 2nd plane hit and thats when I knew this was not an accident. I worked at a day care and parents were calling frantically wanting to come get their children. A teacher from the toddler room came out of her room screaming when the pentagon was hit by the alleged plane that we don't here much about anymore. The teachers son was a worker at the pentagon and it was hours before she heard from him.

Today is another day that God has given us, I don't take it for granted that I am blessed to be a citizen of this country and I am sitting here today to remember a day such as September 11, 2001

Happy Birthday Christian (Cmajor) Robinson

Today would have been the 34th birthday of my dear friend Christian. Chris and I dated for 2 years, but circumstances caused us to break up. We remained friends even after all we went through and my  friend passed away on May 15, 2010. He was most known for his musical talents to many, but for me I knew him for his loving nature. I miss talking to him all night about everything even our past romantic relationship. I miss laughing and joking with him about "Bob da builda" lol it was a inside joke we had together. I listen to his music he's recorded to hear  his voice when I think of him.

Christian I miss you so much.......I wish I could hear you say that you love me always just one more time or hear you say No Copies at the end of each conversation.
Christian I love you and Happy Birthday


No Copies

Anticipating his arrival...........

So, my boo is coming to visit me. I've decided to date again after a year of healing from my last relationship. I call him my Southern Comfort because he's from Georgia and his sexy voice is comforting to my soul. We officially have 4 days left until I get to indulge in his kisses and warm embrace. I'm so ready to just be in his presence I could scream!! Tonight I went to my favorite place the Urban Spirit Cafe and participated in a event they have called the Brush Experience.

At the Brush Experience there is live music and painting! You can paint your own canvas and help paint the mural they have set up to be painted by number. So, I told my boo I would paint him something special and this is what I came up with below and if I say so myself it's pretty darn good LOL!! I will keep 1 half and he will keep the other half! He was so happy when I sent him the pics Im so glad  he likes it.
I Love You Mr. Henton and I anticipate  your arrival...................
