Salon appointment availability is becoming less and less as the holiday season approaches. To ensure that your "do" is done for upcoming holiday parties and you have the perfect outfit, call the salon or visit the boutique soon. Top style of this season: Nubian Knots. A photo of Nubian or Bantu Knots is available on our website. This style can be accomplished with your own hair, two strand twist extensions or locs -- they are ethnic, regal and very chic. See you soon.

Uncle Funky's Daughter

Ok, so Oprah isn't the only person that can have favorite things... Today I had lunch and dinner from the most ingenious little healthy kitchens in town. Although the description healthy kitchen may sound like the food tastes like wood, it is actually really, really good. One of my clients, a personal trainer, told me about My Fit Foods after I shared with him my struggles with eating consistent, healthy meals.

As a hairstylist, fitting lunch into my day is sometimes a challenge because I just don't have the time to run out to get anything. I know I could prepare lunch and bring it, but that would mean I would have to cook it, not to mention go grocery shopping...none of which I have time to do. But I digress.

The My Fit Foods concept is such the perfect answer to my dilemma because:
1. The meals are proportioned in small, medium and large sizes to ensure that I won't over eat. (I laughed at the small container when I first saw it, but it is actually enough food...it's all mental.)

2. The food tastes great and they have a variety of meals to choose from so I won't get bored. The food is cooked fresh daily and refrigerated, not frozen. It's gluten free, low in fat, low in cholesterol, low in sugar and takes less than 2 minutes to heat up. PERFECT!! I feel like I have my own personal chef for less than $550 per month! Eating out, you could easily spend that amount in a couple of weeks and the proportions are enormous.

3. It's not expensive. For 9 meals, small and medium, I paid only $60!!! Yeah baby!! That's $20 per day, dude. No cooking, no grocery store lines, no dishes, no overeating, no missing meals...gotta love it. Forget sexy, I'm gonna be too healthy for my shirt!! Ok, corny but true!

After so many calls from all over the country and so many customer requests for the availability of an Uncle Funky's Daughter online shopping fix (during the workday :), our new and smokin' website is launched! It took so many hours (did I say so many hours?) to create what we hope will be your escape from the ordinary shopping experience. Or maybe just the escape from all those reports that are due. Ahh, let 'em wait. Go shopping online. Get your funky fix. We won't tell. And as some of you know, our goods go fast and many items in our online store are one of a kind, so if you snooze you lose. I'll tell you I'm sorry in advance but once it's gone...it's gone. So if you see it and you want it you had better buy it. Go on ya'll...become a funky junky.
