RECAP: Uncle Funky's Daughter: Do What Comes Naturally Event!


Heyyyyyy!

I know lately I've been posting a lot of events & recaps, but I promise ya'll HairGurl is NOT turning into an event blog. lol... I'm going to be doing a hair update next week & I have so many product reviews to post it's ridiculous. I'm so behind in that area. So as you all know I attended the Uncle Funky's Daughter Do What Comes Naturally event Sunday, Nov. 6th & let me tell ya'll...I had the time of my life. :-) Photo shoots, dancing, shopping, eating, talking about hair, nails being minxed & MORE....with all of those activities, who wouldn't have the best time?!


 I met Nicky. One of the highlights of my night! She follows my Facebook page & she is so sweet. She's always leaving such positive comments on the wall. :)

Check out my minxed nail! #doingit I picked this Zoya nail polish color in Gemma because I wanted to try a color I hadn't tried before. I almost went with a bright red, but I already paint my nails red a lot. I didn't know my minx nail would be red & gold though. I would've picked red had I known. Sidenote: This nail polish is fantastic! It's barely chipped since Sunday. Hmmm. Maybe I need to buy some more expensive nail polishes.



Me & Katie. Having fun as usual!! Hahaha.

 Beautiful ladies everywhere!

The back of the Uncle Funky's Daughter shirt Katie purchased.

How cool is this?! A 5 dollar table.

I REALLY wanted that black headband, but it wasn't stretchy at all. :-(

Tonya, one of the owners of Uncle Funky's Daughter, doing a demonstration of 3 strand twists. Check out Tonya's beautiful bold hair cut!

Zumba!

Iknowlee from YouTube was there too! Had no idea she was in Houston! I immediately recognized her face. She looked gorgeous & her hair was so pretty! She was so much fun to talk to!

To top it off, Katie & I interviewed Tonya & Ray, the owners of Uncle Funky's Daughter!! :D They were so cool & even schooled us a little on their vegan lifestyle. Loved their spirits.:-) Thank you guys so much for speaking with us!
We had a BALL!! Can't wait for the next UFD event! I left feeling uplifted & inspired to try new things...like zumba for instance. I also had a headache (the effect from laughing and talking way too much) which is always a sure fire sign that I've had a great time. lol! Thank you Uncle Funky's Daughter for such a wonderful event!

P.S. I'll be posting the interview & adding it to this post. Stay tuned for that!

Make sure you are following me on Twitter & Facebook for more of my ramblings about hair and anything else I want to talk about. :-)

Product Yay: Nicole by. OPI Nic's Sticks (Text Me)

Hey HGs! I'm a officially a Pretty City VIPretty beauty ambassador! So far I'm owning 2010. ;-) I'm so excited because I get the chance to review beauty products, spas, attend beauty events, etc. I'm such a girly girl. Just typing that last sentence made me excited. :D Introducing Nicole by.OPI Nic's Sticks in Text Me. (I love the cute names OPI uses for nail polish!)
The polish is in the tub so you turn the brush upside down & push down a few times. The nail polish will cover the brush fairly quickly. The brush is excellent. It allows me to cover more of the nail when polishing. I finished my nails in a few minutes. And the drying time is quick which is a big plus for me. The finished product. :-) This polish really reminds me of the one I wore on my wedding day. It was a very soft pink... :-) They also have this cool tool you can use on their site where you can actually try on the colors! You have the ability to change the skin tone of the hand to see if it would go well with your skin complexion. Great feature. Have you guys tried the Nic's Sticks? What color did you use? I'm really loving Carpool Mama, Red Eye to NY, & Close the Deal Teal. All are cute summery colors. Let me know what you think.
