Location Change:

I just got an email from Taliah Waajid….the location for the 2010 World Natural Hair, Health and Beauty Show has changed.  It’s being held at the Georgia International Convention Center.

There’s a new GICC hotel, Spring Hill Suites (Marriot), opening in January 2010…just in time for the April 10-11 show dates.

Update your info…hope to see you there!

Here’s what’s coming down the road:

• The blog is getting an extreme makeover. Yep…it’s time for a change. I didn’t realize it’s been two (2) years since this design was introduced. That’s exciting. The forum will have a customized header.  I have no idea what I wanna do.  Not sure if I’m going to use new artwork, or go a completely different route. I’m sticking with the WP platform, because it’s great.

• I want to start a Detroit nappturals meet-up group. I’ve been wanting to do that for a long time, but it’s just a matter of planning the first meet-up. I’ve got a few partners in crime, who also wanna make it happen. You interested? Send me me some mail, and check “Detroit Nappturals Meet-up Group” as the contact reason.

• I’ve gotten some requests to talk  more about my experiences as a single woman, in her forties. Sure, I can do that. Not sure how interesting it would be, but I’ll take a stab at it.

• I’d like to add a male guest blogger. Now that’s going to be interesting. The guy I want has his hands full with his own blog and family life (including a new baby on the way).  So, I’m on a search.

Stay tuned….

I just upgraded, and everything went quite well. I was prayin’ my blog wouldn’t be obliterated. I love WordPress, so suffice to say, I’m quite impressed with the new dashboard layout, features, etc. My comment section is…broken (it’ll be fixed soon!). This is basically a test post.

Thanks for stopping by!

I decided to brighten/deepen things up a bit. I contacted the “Blog Diva”, Leanne Wildermuth to handle the job. She handled it, don’t you think? I’m at work typing this, so I need to find out how to use my new sidebar features.

BTW, the stunning artwork is by none other than Lashun Beal, a native Detroiter and one of my favorite artists! He’s always been cool about me using his work to make my blog world beautiful. I love him! I gotta update the “credits” info, when I get home.

I have to change the colors for my links page, contact page, etc. Some plugins have to be tweaked. But other than that, this is it! Hope you like it as much as I do!

Yep. It’s that time! The “house” is being remodeled. I’m gettin’ rid of the grey, and going a bit…bolder. I’m also adding some new plugins, and changing stuff around. So, things may look a bit…strange for a bit.

Stay tuned…
