The more I push forward. The more obstacles come my way but you know what. You have to KEEP ON PUSHING and MOVE ON UP.On May 9 my 31 year old younger brother just died. with no warning or anything. This was the first blow of the summer until my grandmother died on July 9. So I have been in NY most of the month still pushing and moving.since I have 2 children I have no choice but to keep on pushing and moving. It is hard but ya got ta do what ya got ta do.After all of the drama I still rise. God is so good. I am still here. My business is still rolling. I got many things that are brewing and I am still moving.I also have to take time out for myself.Yesterday I had a birthday party to take my daughter to. A million errands to run prior to 1:30pm, I decided I had to get my bushy eyebrows attended to. I sat down and decided to take the time out for a pedi also. Even thought I felt guilty at the time, everything worked out and I was able to just sit down for a moment and do something for myself.I wonder did my grandmother ever have the chance to do anything for herself. At 91 I recall she worked until 80 something. Can you imagine that???? I know socially life had to be hard back then. I wonder if she was able to do the things that she wanted to do in life. I know of a couple of things she wanted to do but could not. She did keep pushing and to me life is the greatest gift. God granted her a long one and I hope he will do the same for me.So I will keep on pushing and moving on up.Thanks for listening. I pray that August will bring me more joy and peace.Valerie

I thank God for Dudley products on nights like tonight. I have been so busy that I have missed 2 weeks of going to the salon. So I decided to do my own hair. I used my Dudley Deluxe Shampoo which has left my hair shiny and manageble and then I finished it off with my Dudley's Hair Mask which I just got this week. I had never used it before and to be honest I did not know what to expect. Well I am pleased with the results after covering my hair with a plastic shower cap and sitting under the dryer for a few minutes, I was able to actually rinse it out and use Dudley's setting lotion and total control shining gel to set my hair with rollers. I should get back under the dryer but I decided to write my blog instead.Now I have been a Dudley Beauty Advisor for a few months now and I figure the best way to learn all of the products and describe them is to actually experience them for myself. I have had fun using the skin care system and makeup reminding myself how great it is to be a Black woman and all of the options that we actually have in America.Where else can you make money by making your friends and family as fabulous as you are. :)It is currently summer time and I am having a ball with my new lip candyThey are very shimmery with nice summer shades while tasting sweet My Peach Pop taste like a Pop up Ice cream and my Frosted Chocolate tast like chocolate.I had to get the accent shades of eye shadow for the summer. The sun bronzes my skin while Dudley Cosmeticshighlights my skin.Loving them.to see some of the shades go to my sitehttp://www.vjones.dudleycosmetics.comOk well back 2 the dryer. Thanks for reading and I will try to take some photos!!Valerie

My hair turned out nice. Thanks to Dudley's hair products. I am. however going to get it done by a professional stylist at the Dudley Salon here in Greensboro, NC.I spent time today for myself. I actually got my brows and toes done. I have got to use this Dudley's Brush on Brow to fill them in but other than that I got dressed up and went out with my 2 year old princess paying bills this morning.I deposited a check in my account and was shocked to see how much money I had saved up. I was so happy that I gave a homeless man some money and a bottle of cold water. You have to share your blessings.I took my daughter home and then went out shopping for myself and daughter. (My husband likes to shop for our son) So I had to get some sunglasses. The sales lady told me that the shades were on clearance. WOW blessings do come right back around.So now I am back home and about to relax. God is Great. . . all of the time.http://www.vjones.dudleycosmetics.com beauty advisor 5066http://www.spot-tv.com
