Carol’s Daughter product review

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

I was asked by Carol’s Daughter to conduct a product review for their new Rosemary Mint Shampoo & Conditioner. I love their products and they have a fab store located in Lenox Mall in Atlanta. I’m not a hair stylist and dont want to be one but I can do my daughter’s hair fairly good.

Dootie all lathered up lol

My daughter Dootie asked me to try to do her hair because she had a field trip today with her choir. I said hmm ok, I have this new product that I need to try out anyway, so thanks for being my guinea pig lol. I first washed her hair with the Rosemary mint shampoo and my daughter said it felt tingly. She also liked the smell of it. It took me about three times to get it lathered up but after the 3rd time it had a nice lather to it.

Conditioner in tact

I then combed my daughters hair out and added the conditioner. My daughter does not have a relaxer so I was wondering how it was going to turn out yikes lol. With the help of the conditioner it became manageable and soft. I combed through the conditioner and rinsed.

Blow Drying

All pretty for school lol

After that I blow dried her hair and flat ironed it. I did the best I could do but I’m not a pro at hairdo’s. She was pleased and you could still smell the scent from the rosemary minty smell. I give Carol’s Daughter new Rosemary Mint Shampoo & Conditioner a thumbs up! If I did have to say one thing negative, that would be that it did leave a slight film on her hair. I thought that I followed the directions fairly well, but with the help of a spray shine, her hair came back to life lol.

Steve Harvey’s Freedom Friday event

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

Ok, pay attention because I’m going to write really fast because I have alot to say lol. First off, I want to give all praises to God for all my blessings that have come my way this year. It’s been a long road for me and I’m glad you guys come by and visit my blog daily and support me and to see my adventures on my journey! I really appreciate each and every one of you! Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today, I really mean that from the bottom of my heart! Kisses and hugs!

Steve Harvey Foundation

Ok, on to the partee! I dont know if you guys know that I’m not a night person at all! I got an invite to come to Steve Harveys Freedom Friday fundraiser event. I was excited to go because I like to support my fellow Clevelander but looked at the time and it said 9pm. Oh gosh I was thinking, because I live an hour away from Atlanta where the event was being held, and I just dont do well at late events. My energy level after 7pm is flatlined….. lmao!

Ford new Taurus

So I took a quick nap and got up and got myself all cute and put on my signature pink just for Steve lol. So I picked up my manager Kristie and she quickly noticed I was not in a good mood. She said, Oh no we cant have this, lets get you a pepsi! You can’t be on the carpet with that face looking like that, lol. We get to the venue its held at Americas Mart in downtown Atlanta. The set up was amazing and Ford was the title sponsor. I loved the colorful table linens and the V.I.P area was really cool.

V.I.P. Lounge

I walked pass these two pretty ladies and they asked me to sign up for their contest. I said,”what contest?” looking confused. The young lady explained that Steve was having a competition for, “Thick Waste, Pretty Face“. At the time, I didnt realize it was for Plus size models but I was for sure thick, (as we like to call women who wear size 12/14). So I told the lady, I would pass. The DJ was playing some great music,getting the crowd hyped as we watched people dance. Shortly after, they made an announcement that Steve was there and that if you wanted to get in the contest to go up to the stage area. My manager was like ,”girl you should do it!” I was like,what the heck I will do it, just for fun!

Comedian Steve Harvey,the well dressed man

So, I went to the stage and it was 12 girls that entered. I was the last to sign up but looked at the other girls and noticed they were a lil bit bigger than me, but still never really paid it any mind. So Steve comes out and says a speech about his Steve Harvey Foundation and how he wants to help our young men of today. He teaches them life skills, how to dress,how to conduct their selves and more. I think we really need to have more men like Steve helping our young men because so many dont have good role models, or father figures.

After his speech he started the contest. I was 3rd to last and they quickly lined us up by the stage. I watched the ladies go on stage one by one and do their thing. I knew that when I went up on stage, that I would do something funny and different to get Steve’s attention because I noticed the first couple of girls didn’t really acknowledge Steve. When he called my name, I went deaf and focused on what I was going to do. I sashayed on stage and did a lil dance for him then modeled a lil bit for the audience. The crowd really liked me and it made me feel great! I remember Steve saying jokingly,”Girl you gon make me buy you something” lmao!

And the winner is….

After all of us girlies finished, they lined us up in Apollo style and Steve said to applaud for the one you liked. One by one people yelled and clapped for their favorite person. When it got to me, the crowd went bananas, lol. I dont know if my pink was working for me that night but I was overwhelmed by the response! Steve then narrowed it down to the top 3. It was all like a dream to me when they called my name and said, I won!!!!! I was like, wow is this really happening to me? I was the girl mad because I had an evening event and passed on the chance to enter at first.

Me & Contestant Tiffany Greer

Steve presented me with a $200 gift card to Sambucas restaurant and we took candid pics together. In between each girls performance on stage, Steve was telling some great jokes and had a great stage presence,they crowd loved him. I really admire his work and I would like to say thanks so much for the opportunity! It’s funny I dont think he remembers I was the girl that interviewed him at Carols Daughter opening at Lenox Mall(http://talkingwithtami.com/carols-daughter-private-affair/). At first he told other reporters no interviews, but I was gutsy enough to tell him I was from Cleveland,with that he allowed me to ask him a couple of questions. Thank you Steve for being such a nice guy! I wish you many years of success! Thanks to Diane Larche of Larche Communications for the personal invite! Please click on videos to watch and I will holla at you guys later!

*I have 3 videos in total on YouTube, if you would like to see more! This was my winning performance, lol. Videos contains some profanity

Publicist giving speech

I got a chance to meet a Pinktabulous woman in business, which was Lisa Price! I’ve been following her career for awhile now and she said,”Tami its been 14yrs”! She was very pleasant and told me it was alot of work starting out, but well worth it. Lisa told me she was from Brooklyn Ny. I asked her what was her fav product and she said, she loves the Hair Milk because it doesnt leave your hair sticky and that its her best selling item. I asked her how she liked our humid weather here in Atlanta and she said it was very hot, lol.

Me interviewing Lisa Price

Celebs that came out to support this event was Boris Kodjoe, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Harvey, Derek Blanks,Michael Knight,Monique, NFL, players and NBA players and everybody that was shopping in the mall lol. It was a packed affair. I also got a chance to congratulate Steve Harvey on his new book,”Act like a lady,Think like a Man“.

He looked very serious when I approached him with my mic. I introduced myself to him and then said,” hey Steve I’m from Cleveland”. I use to do your ex wife nails(the mother of his two twins) lol, he looked a lil uncomfortable but smiled and let me proceed with my interview. He also told me he was a resident of Atlanta, I was like wow,Ive never seen him around town but I have seen his new wife out. I loved her platinum ring and quickly zoomed in to get a pic of that puppy. I also liked how they complimented each other with their coordinating outfits,they looked very stylish man. I do believe his book is doing extremely well too! If Im not mistaken, I think I overheard someone saying a movie is in the works of his Bestselling book, wow, you go Steve! We will have to stay tuned to find out more!

Mr. and Mrs. Steve Harvey

Comedian,actress, business diva, Monique looked fab! While she was getting a massage, I tried to make her remember that I interviewed her last year. I told her I was trying to get on her show F.A.T.Chance and she told me, I needed to eat some more lol. She laughed and we chatted about what she was up to. She said, she has a new talk show coming out that will air on B.E.T. titled, “The Monique Show”. Tonite Monique was casual, with a nice healthy looking hairdo,a pair of blue jean capris and nice top with gucci heels, she was very funny and real, you can tell she was very relaxed, I like her,go girl! She said the tapings will be done at Turner Broadcasting studios and that the show starts taping Sept 1st. I’m going to try to make it to atleast one of those tapings! Good luck with your new show Monique! You can tell she likes people alot like me because she posed for pics and chatted with everyone,making it nice to be around her.

Monique getting arm message by employee

So I had a blast as usual and cant wait for the next big event. The cocktails,music,bites and atmosphere was Pinktastic! I was a lil heart broken though that I didnt get to meet Mary J. Blige but I know its going to happen. Till next time you guys, keep it pinky! I would like to thank Nikki Walker Pr and Shem Young for the personal invite!
