Good Hair Day!

I'm actually having a good hair day. I've included a picture of one of the worst hair moments of my life. I became inspired to actually express how I am doing with my hair by reading some of a blog on someone doing their MA in TESOL. That sounds so interesting and I remember how busy I was when I was doing my thesis on the politics of black hair at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. It consumed most of my life, even though I still made time to do other things, such as work.

Things are going well lately with my book sales. Currently there is a $5 off coupon to celebrate Canada Day until July 8, 2009. When you buy, you need to enter CANADADAY. This would be a great way to buy What Happened to the Afro? or as many books as you like. I am up to 25 written books by me. Well, actually, one of them is edited. There is also another code that is for 10 per cent off. This one can work out well too for bigger purchases. I have bought some of my own books so I can showcase them at tables at two conferences I am going to this summer. At one of the conferences I am also presenting. This latter one is taking place at York University.

I'm looking forward to doing the interview with Zhara coming up soon. She has a blog on natural hair care. I have sent her the questions by email since she is based in Vancouver and she will get back to me with the answers. We did touch base for a bit on Saturday before she needed to step out. I actually would have been able to conduct the interview then, however got bogged down with house issues and there being a problem with the water in the upstairs unit.

Overall, I'm having a great hair day. I washed it around noon with Lush's Curly Wurly shampoo. I like this shampoo, however it has some flakes in it that I find rather annoying. These flakes are coconut - however they can make me and anyone who uses it look as though they have a huge dandruff problem. I condition my hair with a product called Giovanni that I get at Loblaws and it is natural. I have bought some glycerin soap with no preservatives for when the Curly Wurly is done.

Have a fabulous rest of the day!
