Sunrae at MY Black Is Beautiful Expo

Ms. Mona, her daughter & I went to the My Black Is Beautiful Expo this week-end. It was a week-end of manicures, music and makeup. Ms. Mona really enjoyed the music spun (played) by MC Lite (top female rapper) on the turn table. They call it spinnig music on the ones and twos (that's DJ language). She played some old school and new school rap music. People danced in their seats. Some people got up and danced around their seats too.  Ms. Mona & her daughter took pictures in front of the LARGE signs that had MY BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL written on them. This Expo travels around to large cities encouraging young girls and women to accept themselves and have fun putting makeup, getting their hair done and taking care of their health. So, I want everyone to remember to eat right, exercise, drink plenty of water; dress for your size, shape, style and personality. Most of all have FUN doing it.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

I am beautiful in my skin. I accept who I am everyday through and through. I am the best me I can be.

   1. Use a small bowl to mix 1 tbsp of the solid vegetable(canola oil or coconut) shortening and 1 tsp of honey.  In a separate bowl, mix the drink mix and 1/4 tsp of hot water until it is   dissolved. 

 Stir in as much of the drink mix as possible. The actual amount will depend on the temperature of water. The more you can dissolve, the stronger the flavour will be.

   2. You can choose the color and flavor of you lip gloss by the type of drink mix you use. 

   3. Add one drop of the water mixture to the shortening/honey base.  Stir well.  Repeat until you get the color/flavor combination you want.  Pour into a clean container or old lip gloss pot.

Keeps for 3 days, but it tastes so good that you will use it up very fast!
