Really interested in more natural products but don't really like to mix them myself.
I think my hair LOVES oil but need to use them more.
Have done a Henna treatment once and am hoping to do another one soon.
Bellepays, the restaurant/lounge idea sounds good. I like Negrils, although the lounge is pretty small. The food is pretty good.
negril's food is good but the wait is always insane! but i am totally up for a place more downtown this time.
Honestly, that's part of the reason I'm so excited to go this time too, cause my fro is MUCH bigger!!
Guys, lets throw out ideas. First, when would be good for everyone? April? May? Saturday? Beginning of the month? End of the month? We need to pick a time when the most people are free to come.

Also, has anyone ever heard of Braai? It's a South African restaurant and the food is really good. It's in midtown on 51st street....And on the weekends it's pretty much dead so there would be no problem with seating...just throwing that out there. Let me know what you guys think about the date and time!

Awww, maybe we can have another meet up in June also. I know it's early but good luck on your exam!!!!

So sounds like May 8 at 2pm is confirmed unless someone has a huge objection. Now for the restaurant: Why don't we keep this thread alive while people make suggestions, then we put it to a vote in like a week? Then everyone will have like 2 weeks to vote until we close the voting and I'll make reservations at wherever we decide.

Girl whatup!!! It would not be the same without you there so I'm very happy you're coming.:blob3:
And remember, your last swap experience wasn't with the NC women so it might be much better this time. At the last NC meeting my swapping experience was great! I even got two products that are now in my rotation (Qhemet soft gel and KBB hair butter).
And I bet you $5 you'll LOVE Braai. It's South African and very delicious. Check out their website and menu. I also thought of this place because on a weekend it seems like it would be really easy to book and we'd prettymuch have the place to ourselves because they really only get busy during dinner.
BUT if you lovely ladies have a better selection or another restaurant, please say so! We'll put it up to a vote and I'll make reservations where the majority of us decide.:alien:
