Pacific Palisades Estate Sale + Another Kinky Curly Giveaway!

Penned by Mop Top Maven at 10:12 AM

Sorry for the late post today guys, I stopped by an Estate Sale in Pacific Palisades this morning, and I am just now getting to a cpu! I was a little nervous because I thought there would be hoards of people there [they were advertising vintage clothing from the 60's and seventies amongst other items], but alas I was the ONLY one there for the clothes, so I had the room to myself :D

I bought a few 1960's Mexican Hand Embroidered Dresses, tops, silk skirts, and other miscellany from the 1960-1970 era. I am super excited to share my scores...so pics will be up next week. - For all of my Los Angeles ladies; if you are in the mood for a little rummage shopping [and I do mean rummage], check it out!

1366 Lachman Lane, Pacific Palisades, California 90272 - If you want to see the description in Craigslist; here it is!

Also I am giving all of you another chance to win the Kinky Curly Curling Custard (8oz), and Kinky Curly Knot Today (8oz) - All you have to do this time is tell me the ONE thing you couldn't live without [air, water, food, money are excluded]. The rules are simple, you must be a subscriber, and your entry must be posted by 11PM MAY 13TH. 

Good luck!

Nik

    Hopefully you'll be getting quite a few new subscribers. I shared this giveaway with the ladies of CurlyNikki forums. I'm sure they'll stick around even when the giveaway is over once they see how fabulous the blog is!

    I'm going to using the KCKT & KCCC that
    I won today. I "henna'd" and now I'm DCing. So excited since I've heard such great things. Good luck to all of you ladies!!

    Other than God (which others have already stated), I'd have to say my voice. I am a singer and without the ability and gift to make music, I couldn't live. It's the reason I get up in the morning.

    I could not live without the Lord in my life. As Minerva said it, He provides everything to all who loves Him. I love my family and friends, however I know they will not be here forever. For those with a personal relationship with God although the rough times will come, we can get through it.
