Liberty Thru Style: African American Wigs that Help Women

Friday, June 19th, 2009

For years, women’s wigs weren’t forever my personal obsession. Modeling was my focus. This applied till last week when I started to lose my hair due to medical hair loss. I decided that I shouldn’t allow for the chance of showing up at work as a chrome-dome version of Demi Moore by sheer dumb luck.

Personally, this meant that I lost my identity, lacking a real head of hair. It became clear that there was nothing I could do to get back fabulous fashion and the hair to match. Buddy, I was wrong. Before I got my new real wig, I attempted a selection of hot synthetic hair weaves that didn’t match my scalp. My boyfriend Malcolm told me about some dignified wig stores where I could get natural wigs that would look great.

Anyhow, I hopped to it and took a good look at their wigs. I noticed an array of beautiful, beautiful real hair wigs. Their specially designed African American wigs made me so happy!

With the perfect hair piece, a proud individual akin to myself can foster fearlessness when admitting to her medical hair loss. I’ve never been more excited to show my latest voluminous hair. It was magical to proudly exert my confidence again on the job.

But maybe I could be exaggerating things, however looks are important to who I am. Is it possible there’s more to existence than a fabulous style of hair? Heck, it wouldn’t be right if someone told me otherwise. Here’s the good news: women’s hair loss can be beat!

You couldn’t imagine what wigs have been like. Very few believe about me and women’s hair loss. Anyhow there you have it, I’m wonderfully set to fearlessly approach my career again. Real human hair wigs improved things for my family and I.

Detractors may say this approach is needy. Oh well. What makes existing on earth so worthwhile? For me, it’s love and my wig.

Top Questions to Ask Personal Trainers

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Employing a personal trainer is one good way to benefit from working out in the shortest amount of time. A personal trainer will make a program that is made for your fitness level and goals. But finding a personal trainer that is certified, and that can motivate you in the way that you need, can be hard. Here are 5 topics to cover with possible trainers, and yourself, so you can find the perfect trainer for you.

Judge The Book By It’s Cover
An out of shape personal trainer isn’t worthy of your time. If a potential trainer can’t keep themselves in good shape, chances are, it’s doubtful they can motivate you. While a trainer doesn’t have to be Mr. Olympia, they should be in good physical shape and have loads of energy.

Certification
Anyone can call themselves a personal trainer, there are no governing bodies, but lots of certification options. Ask for a copy of your trainers certification or diploma, and research the training they have gone through. Each trainer should definitely also have CPR and first aid training.

References
Talk to past and current customers to hear their experiences. Ask about their results, if they could count on the trainer, any issues they may have had, if they ever hit weight loss plateaus and how they were handled. Most trainers will only send you to positive references, so ask the trainer what problems they have had with clients, and how they handled them. Every business has problem clients, so they should be able to answer.

Training Philosophy
Do you want a more relaxed trainer? An army drill sergeant? Or can you motivate yourself? Finding a personal trainer that propels you to the next level will depend on how well your personalities mesh.

Pricing and Policies
Fees are always important, but ask about cancellation policies if you or the trainer has to reschedule, payment types accepted, and what happens if you are sick or injured. The most expensive trainer isn’t necessarily the greatest, and the least expensive may be cheap for a reason, so consider the fees beside the other answers you’ve acquired.

Lady Godiva Hair

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

I love long hair! Especially mine.

Yes, I live in a hot coastal town with 95% humidity and 95 degrees all summer long. So what? I refuse to cut my gorgeous hair for 3 months out of the year. That just doesn’t make sense. I can’t grow it back in the remaining 9 months, not to past my waist where it belongs. Sorry.

Yes, I have friends, both male and female who seasonally crop their beautiful locks to get their hair off their shoulders and necks for the summer. I hate that. Have they no sense of esthetics? What is wrong with putting it up for a couple of months? I ask you!

But no, they have to go and cut it. I don’t even let my friends say the words, “cut” and “hair” in the same sentence around me. I don’t. Ask them. We trim our hair. We do not cut it. That goes double for my boyfriend. I don’t look twice at these guys whose hair doesn’t even extend below their earlobes. What fun is that?

My sweetheart has the most beautiful waist-length blonde hair on the planet. I can tolerate the fact that he puts it in a ponytail for work. Can’t have those suits getting all annoyed that their programmer fellah ain’t dressed right, now can we?

The minute he hits the door, though, I want those silky tresses out of their hair tie and back where it belongs: in full sight. I’ll never forget the first time I saw him. We met at a party. The first thing I saw was that hair! I immediately asked a friend nearby who the new guy was. She said she didn’t know, but Angel would. So I wandered over to Angel and inquired.

Angel said he was new here. He had just arrived from Michigan. Well, isn’t that nice? Next thing you know he has my phone number. Isn’t life sweet? Now that we live together, he promises never to cut his hair. I’ll hold him to it, too. If he ever wants to break up with me, all he has to do is cut that hair and I’m outta here. He won’t, though. I was careful. He loves his long hair as much as I love mine.

We go out to the beach and put those tresses up in a ponytail. Slide it aside to apply suntan lotion and we are set. We’ll wash it later. I’ll sometimes put mine up in a bun, okay, but it comes down the minute I’m off the beach.

Are you one of us? Do you love your long hair summer or winter? I see that you are. It’s really beautiful that way.
