Still in Dallas Texas as I post this blog. Recovering from a manic weekend of Black Friday sales after an awesome thanksgiving. This is my favourite time of visiting the United States mainly because of it's celebratory atmosphere and of course the thanksgiving sales which kicks off with the manic Black Friday. I understand it is called Black Friday, because it is a time when struggling businesses previously in red get back to black due to unprecedented sales. Fabulous. Last Friday didn't disappoint as shoppers thronged the shops as early as midnight for bargains. Won't forget the story in the news of a woman shopper who sprayed fellow shoppers with pepper spray just to get ahead. Incredible stuff. In this dire economic times, bargains come in handy.
Did a bit of shopping myself. Great bargains in Macy's, Nordstrom and other great stores. Also met up with my fabulous supplier Jenny. We spent sometime discussing fabulous beauty products that will be hot on the list for any beauty conscious lady in the year 2012. No doubt I have great products for my fabulous customers. Will be uploading them ASAP onto our fabulous website and our online shops on Amazon UK and our facebook store. Keep looking up our fab store www.fab4hairnbeauty.com for regular updates. Jenny is also attending a Hair Show taking place in Las Vegas this week. Hair shows enable us to stay on top of things fashion wise.
With Christmas around the corner, start your shopping early by visiting our fabulous stores online for great bargains. Just to also add, we ship all over Europe and beyond. Also check out our fantastic feedbacks on our Amazon UK shop from satisfied customers.
It's all about you.

Cheap is Not Always Cheerful
They say when you buy cheap, you buy twice. In this hard economic times, its advisable to go for bargains. Bargains are great, but not when quality is compromised.
How then can one remain fashionable, glamourous and fabulous in these tough economic times? I would suggest looking for bargains but still sticking to quality products. They say, when you buy cheap, you buy twice. I am not a believer in disposable fashion. Its more economic to buy good quality stuff because you can use and reuse them as often as you like and because fashion is rotational, it always comes in handy.
A fashionable woman would always splash out on fabulous items. I have discovered in my quest for good quality fashion for less, awesome shops. I am a lover of Brandalley UK. I also love TK Maxx. Other high end department stores, like House of Fraser is great when items are reduced. Love Next and this seasons collection of Marks & Spencers look fabulous too. Online shops, for me are the best for bargains. I have recently discovered Boohoo. Good stuff at affordable prices.
At fab4hairnbeauty, we remain committed to great quality hair and beauty products at affordable prices. All our products are tried and tested by us first before selling. For instance, our fabulous Makari beauty products, we bought directly from their major distributor in New York where I met the fabulous Leah, one of their major sales manager. Our lace front wigs are also branded. Fabulous wigs from trusted major makers of quality hair like Bobbi Boss, Model Model and Janet collections just to mention a few. Visit www.fab4hairnbeauty.com
It is possible to be fashionable even in these tough times, you just have to know where to shop. Don't compromise, look for bargains.

My Problem with selling on eBay UK.
I have just returned from a business cum holiday trip to NYC and the garden state of New Jersey. Love New Jersey I must say. Came back with more fabulous products for our fab customers.
Being a sole trader is hard but exciting sometimes. I love the feeling of getting it right with my customers. Its an amazing feeling when you receive positive feedbacks from customers who genuinely love your products and services. Its even more rewarding when some of them take time off to write you an email saying thanks. It makes it all worthwhile. We do sometimes encounter some difficult customers but the good ones far outweighs the difficult ones.
This week after a lot of thinking, I have decided to close my shop on eBay UK. We still sell on Amazon UK and on our fabulous website, fab4hairnbeauty.com. We are also in the process of opening our facebook store. We decided to again close our eBay store because of the many difficulties with both customers and their seller support whom I discovered are based in the United States. From my experience, we were not supported as sellers while dealing with some difficult customers. A lot of support for buyers but not enough for sellers. To make matters worse, they introduced a payment hold method for no justifiable reasons. This payment hold, allows eBay to hold on to money paid to us through Pay pal by buyers on eBay for 21 days except a buyer leaves a positive feedback. Now, it is good practice to try as much as possible to get positive feedbacks from ones customers but I don't believe in hounding buyers for feedbacks. We discovered that despite sending out tracking informations which confirms that buyers have received their products, our payments were not released. As a small business we need our money as soon as possible to replenish stock. So after several unsuccessful emails to them to release our money as soon as payments are made we decided to close the shop. In these tough economic climate, you need all the help you can get and we weren't getting much help from them.
So, its business as usual on our website and our Amazon UK store. We will also be updating you on our new facebook store that is coming soon. Keep reading my blogs as I share my experience running an online business.www.fab4hairnbeauty.com

Getting Ready For Summer
I love spring time. I love the in between, not too cold or too hot. I suppose having a gorgeous and beautiful styled trench coats does help too. Again, like most people, I love summer time. Everything is beautiful and fabulous in summer. People are happier and look fabulous. I suppose its so much easier to look more fabulous in Summer, not having to cover up so much. People look thinner and fab. This summer, its going to be bold beautiful bright colours. High fabulous wedges too. We have been stocking up also for summer time. Fabulous, chic and glamorous short styled lace front wigs both human and synthetic fibres. We also have chic span wraps for that fab look. Visit www.fab4hairnbeauty.com for more.
As the weather becomes warmer, of course we sweat more. I have been in search of a good aluminium free Deodorant that actually works. I am very particular about the deodorant that I use daily. I know there are fabulous ones with aluminium and Para bins in them, but I will rather be cautious and use a good deodorant free of harmful ingredients. Discovered quite a few products without aluminium in my search. Products like Roll on by One Planet, Sanex Natur Protect, Salt of the earth, Tisserand Refreshing Deodorant and many more. This aluminium free deodorants work, but I have discovered that you have to keep reapplying them for the best results. I have also discovered a great one made by Body Shop. Its called DeoDry aluminium free deodorant. It works perfectly fine. Fabulous.
Check out our website for great deals. Get yourself one of our span wraps for the days you don't feel like styling your hair but still want to look glam. Whatever your style, keep it chic and simple.

Lace Wig N Weave Essentials
For lovers of lace wig like myself, caring for it is as essential as caring for your own hair especially if you have splashed out on 100% human hair. Not to say that caring for the mixed fibre and synthetic lace wigs and weave is not also important. There are a few accessories essential for comfortable and successful wig and weave wearing while also protecting your natural hair.
The first essential item for a comfortable wig wearing, is the all important 'wig cap'. Wig cap controls your natural hair while also protecting your hair. It also ensures a firm grip of your lace wig especially if you are wearing a glue less front lace wig. The brilliant thing about glue less lace wigs is that you don't have to shave off your front hair which some people do to enable the application of glue. For fabulous glue less lace wigs, visit http://www.fab4hairnbeauty.com/.
The second essential accessory that is definitely important for the life of your weave and lace wig is a wig brush. Your wig or weave should be treated like like your natural hair. Brush it daily with a proper wig brush. This ensures that they remain tangle free and fabulous. Check out our online shop for fabulous wig brushes.
Finally, for that glossy and shiny look, give your weave or lace wig the kiss of life weekly with a dose of hair spray. Not the the hair spray that leaves your hair oily and greasy but the one that adds a bit of shine while detangling it. We are loving the 'Hair Essence' wig and weave spray by Lord & Cliff. This product is coming soon to our shop. Its fabulous.
Well ladies who love the weave or wig, take care of it like you would do your normal hair and they would love you back.

Cosmetics Talk
The Daily Mail newspapers, a UK newspaper reported yesterday a picture of superstar Beyonce spotting a paler skin which somehow suggests that she may have lightened her skin. Has she or hasn't she? To be honest with you, its Beyonces choice what she does with her skin. Why do we have to pass judgement? after all people sleep in sun beds all day trying to tan their skin. I think everyone deserves the right to whatever beauty treatment they choose as long as it is safe. Check out our website, http://www.fab4hairnbeauty.com/ for fabulous skin creams like the fabulous Black Opal dual phase fade cream amongst others. Fabulous.
As a woman, finding the right beauty treatment that works is very daunting. Its double the hard work for women of colour partly because some well known brands do not cater for black skin. In my quest for beauty treatment that actually works, I have discovered that Estee lauder has fabulous cosmetic range for black women, plus they offer exchange even if you have used the item. I particularly love their Double wear foundation. It doesn't turn ashy and it stays on all day. I also recommend Estee lauder Advanced Night Repair. Fabulous.
Clinique also makes fabulous cosmetics suitable for black skin. Their faciall wash is great for oily skin and their dramatically different moisturising lotion keeps skin soft and hydrated. Fabulous.
Women of colour have also trusted Elizabeth Ardens Visible Difference over the years to moisturize and hydrate. I have also found Body shop Body Butter very helpful expecially during winter months. Whats your favourite? Let us know by posting a comment on this blog.
Whatever your skin type, there are fabulous products out there. Will keep you posted.
