HAIR NEWS: NEW PRODUCT REVIEW
Hair Therapy club member Jennifer blessed me with the chance to try the new hair line “Pattern” by Tracy Ellis Ross. I used all of her products during the wash process.
I shampooed, conditioned, steamed in the leave-in (used it more like a deep conditioner), applied the oil and blow dried Jennifer’s hair.
The products smelled good. The blow dry came out silky. I would try this product-line again.
In my opinion these products are not juicier than the Mielle Pomegranate Honey line I currently use.I am willing to explore the rest of the line if she has something more moisturizing.

NOVEMBER MOVIE REVIEWS
The ratings below reflect how good the movie is for the genre it’s in. I am using a scale of 1-5. Five (5) representing excellence, three (3) okay and one (1) trash. The category legend is as follows:
(S) Superhero
(L) Love or Comedy
(ST) Story/Biopic
(A) Action/Thriller or Mystery
Spoiler Alert: You need to see all of these movies lol
HARRIET (ST) : Rating 4.6 - I am always nervous to see these types of films in fear that I will leave hating white people. Surprisingly I didn’t leave with hate. I left feeling informed and inspired. I know the surface story of Harriet. Watching the film made me feel like I was there. Just imagine I am the same kid that when I heard the story for the first time thought the Underground Railroad was a secret train. I felt her pain, I felt her triumphs and I left with hope in my heart.
21 Bridges (A) : Rating 4.7 - I just wanted too know why was Black Panthers suite so ill fitting. Let me be serious, the character Andre Davis played by Chadwick Boseman whom I will forever call “Black Panther” suits were just terrible but maybe that how they want to depict that cops dress. I loved seeing him onscreen with Stephen James who played Micheal. Although some part were predictable what wasn’t predictable was the on onscreen execution of murders in this film.
Terminator (A) : Rating 4.5 - This review may be unfair. I watched the original terminator the night before. I am aware there are 2 maybe even three other Terminators since then. My instincts and my gut told me to watch the original and I am glad that I did. There was so much homage paid to the original. I picked up on every remake and foreshadowing moment presented in the film and I loved it. I’m not sure that a person disconnected from the original will appreciate it as much as I did. I also appreciate the character development of the Terminator aka Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Charlies Angels (A) : Rating 4.7 - The character Jane is painfully beautiful if for nothing else look at this movie the see her face and shoe collection. Sabina was androgynous and sexy giving us cheeks through the entire flick. They spared no expense on flashy cars and explosions. These women were really beating peoples asses as well as getting their asses beat. The best thing about the movie is that it is not “girly” like I expected. A man can enjoy the film.
A Good Time In The City : Smithsonian Museums
National Museum of Natural History
Issa has always loved dinosaurs and has been asking to see this exhibit for a while. He was so excited to see the replicas. He was very upset when I told them they were replicas.
I took him to see the actual fossils of a stegosaurus and reminded him that it has been a REALLY long time since dinosaurs have been here. We are lucky that there is anything of them left to see.
Other cool exhibits
Museum of American History
Michelle Obama and superheroes! They covered a lot of ground for such a small space. I must admit we skipped what we had no interest in. We looked at music history, automobile history, superhero history and the First Lady exhibit. We neglected everything else.
