I would argue that commenting on relationships, specifically infidelity is shallow. While I felt the letter was written well, I feel this could have been kept out from the public eye. I am not sure about the communication between the parties, but maybe this was the only way Mashonda could get her point across to A.Keys. Either way, it wasn't the route to go. Maybe a personal letter could have been sent to A.Key's, but I guess she took this form of communication to make it hurt. In regards to people in general who vent via Twitter, this might sound contradictory to my earlier analysis, but I think it depends. If it is something small such as, Ashley is getting on my nerves, etc... then I wouldn't see too much harm. HOWEVER, if it's like "Sabrina a hoe, she live a 1100 abc drive, got get at her" then is crossing the line. Sadly, I have heard accounts of people putting their girl/boy on blast from reading other blogs. Bottom line: DON'T PUT ALL YOUR BUSINESS OUT THERE!

]]> Comment on Revitalizing Damaged Hair by THE QUEEN http://brownsugardiaries.wordpress.com/2009/02/01/revitalizing-damaged-hair/#comment-68 THE QUEEN Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:40:45 +0000 http://brownsugardiaries.wordpress.com/?p=620#comment-68 hey! danngg, this woulda been a good post for the blog, haha...but I use to use motions products and it was alright but I never saw any significant changes in my hair. I still use their hair spray though. As far as doo gro, I use their oil time to time bc its really was good, especially the mega thick oil. I bought some of their shampoo before and wasn't feeling it that much. Its best that you do switch up on your products like every 8mos-1year, unless you have damaged hair. I used soft sheen carson's optimum care line (the red bottles) when my hair broke off from a color treatment and it made my hair grow back real good. I stuck with that line over a year bc my hair was damaged pretty badly. I would try to stick to the same relaxer though, if its not causing any irritation then you don't need to switch up that often, bc relaxers don't really stimulate hair growth, I don't think. I need to double check that, but I dont think that it does. Olive oil products are really good- u know u can use real olive oil as an conditioner too??? It makes for a good hot oil treatment and makes your hair extra soft.
