Cool story about Island Fantasy scent.

Here’s something cool that’s never happened before. Last night I was at the Jambalaya seeing a band, (ok, THAT part has happened before :-) and there was this girl standing next to me. When she moved her head I smelled a very familiar scent – the Island Fantasy scent of my products. It’s a pretty distinctive fragrance, and since I created it myself, I’m pretty familiar with it. So I asked her, “What hair products do you use?” and she said “Jessicurl!” I replied, “that’s my company!!” and she got all excited and said it was an honor to meet me and how much she loves my products. She didn’t even have curly hair! :-) (But like I’ve said many times, the shampoo and conditioner are great for any hair type.)

What’s even funnier than that experience is that JUST that morning I was thinking of how that’s never happened – recognizing the scent of my products in someone’s hair and finding out they use it. (I’ve had lots of situations where someone recognizes me and tells me they love my products, or I compliment someone's curls and find out they use Jessicurl, but never this particular scenario.) So that’s even weirder, eh? :-)

Video from my Rotary presentation

I did my presentation to the Eureka Rotary on Friday and it went really well. My flapper costume was a hit and everybody there was really nice to me. I recorded it and edited somewhat to end up with a 16 minute video. The editing is kind of choppy, since it's my first attempt, but I imagine I'll get better over time. You can see it below. If it doesn’t work for you please let me know – I’m new to this video blogging thing and imagine there might be some things yet to work out. :) Here’s a picture of my costume, including the totally awesome garter flask my friend Sara made me. :)



Here’s the video:

I have lots of groovy stuff to tell you this time! :)

First off, I’m excited to let you know that the November 10th copy of Women’s World Magazine rates Jessicurl Hair Cleansing Cream as its #1 pick for curly hair shampoos! (page 10, if you have a copy of it)

I’m thrilled that Woman’s World has recognized that the benefits of Hair Cleansing Cream come from including natural ingredients such as avocado oil, and the absence of sulfates which make so many traditional shampoos too drying for curly hair. Hopefully this article will educate other curlies about how best to care for their hair! You can see it at this link: https://www.jessicurl.com/wwghs-p-41.html

There’s also a great new article up at NaturallyCurly.com about Jessicurl that highlights some of the philanthropy we’re involved in. You can read that here:

I’m also stoked about our newest international distributor, Fitjar Soap, located in Norway. The website is http://www.fitjarsoap.no/ so if you have any friends in Norway, let them know they can get Jessicurl there now! :)

And, I’ve FINALLY updated my hair routine on my website. :) I got my hair cut several months ago so of course my routine changed, and I kept forgetting to update it. :) So thank you to those of you who gently reminded me.
