That good good...

So,

Since I started going natural (3-years 100% without-perm) I noticed I've been getting dandruff quite often, like I always have it. But, I came across this dandruff shampoo and since I tried it, last week, I haven’t had any real issues (I have noticed some minor stuff closer to the back where it’s harder for me to reach, but I figure the more I use it the better the results… I’ve only used it once). What I did:

-While my hair was still dry, I rubbed the shampoo in while scratching problem areas (mainly the front and sides)

-Once it lathered really well and began to tingle a bit I rinsed it out

-Followed-up with my regular shampoo and conditioner for softness

-Blow-dryed it and was done.

Best of luck!

Don't Be A Victim... Email Edition

Oh no they DIDN'T!

I got into an email discussion today with a few friends about some serious misbehaving going down with the credit card industry. Checkout our convo below and don't get caught out there...

Aisha- I got a letter in the mail from my credit card company telling me that they were raising everyone’s interest rates, no matter the payment history. They proceeded to say I was able to decline the increase, BUT they would automatically close my account if I declined. WTF?! Is this allowed? http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Story?id=4277250&page=1

Neistra- Yep! Read an article about this like a week ago… that’s why I’m glad I paid all my cc’s off and closed all the accounts. These people have lost their minds!

Aisha- I was going to close my acct, but it reflects negatively on your credit. It lowers your available credit limit and that makes you lose points.

Neistra- Yeah, I was hearing the same thing, but after some research, I discovered its not as bad as they make it seem.

Niel- If you can afford to pay it off do so… even if it hurts a bit and you have to budget elsewhere, it may be worth it to you. Interest is money lost- period… it’s like a labor fee and the longer you have a balance the more you pay for the service- unnecessarily. Pay them off and leave them open with a ZERO balance… win win situation- less cash paid out to interest and a better credit profile.

Aisha- That what I did. I have a zero balance with all of my cards. They ain’t bout to get me. SUCKAS!!! Neil, When did you get so educated?

Lauren- She just copy and pasted from creditblog.com. Verbatim.

Aisha- Ha ha ha!

Neistra- LOL

Niel- How RUDE!
