Shamelessly Addicted to Technology

 

Hey Beauties…It’s me again back with our latest blog post. Now I have to tell you over the years I have totally turned into a tech geek! At this point I don’t think there’s any part of my life that does not involve technology. Dare I say I may be a bit addicted to technology??? As many of you  may know I am a lost soul without my iphone! Just last month while shopping for pieces for our new location I accidentally left  my phone home. By the time I realized I forgot it home I decided I was too far to turn back and figured I could make it through an afternoon of shopping without it…..WRONG!! I was totally lost without it. I couldn’t take pictures, I had questions and I couldn’t text anyone on our team for answers. Needless to say I was totally frustrated and disgusted. However,  I was able to select items and pick up the essentials we needed for our new space although I was not nearly as efficient as I would have been if I had my phone. Then to top everything off, now I’m standing on a long line without any apps to help me pass the time away!! ……Oh what  in the world did I do before technology became such an integral part of my life?

Beauties are any of you out there as obsessed with technology as I am? If you are leave a comment and let us know what you think!

Would you like to see more blog posts & videos  on how we use technology & apps on a daily basis? If you do please leave your comments below.

Nidasii Check In

Hey Beauties... I know we have been M.I.A. lately, but, it's a for a great reason there are so many positive things happening for Nidasii right now. We're expanding and growing. In late January early February we will be in our newly renovated manufacturing studio and beauty lounge. I'm so excited about the beauty lounge because we will offer all kinds of custom beauty treatments especially for our Beauties. Can't wait for that!! But the holidays are here and we will be posting tons of informative beauty posts as well as a few behind the scenes look into our renovation process on our new space. So be sure to keep an eye out for all the great new content on here on our blog.

TGIF Beauties

I can't believe I went a whole week with out posting!! As much as I love interacting with everyone here at the blog, on twitter & FaceBook I just couldn't seem to break away from all the extra activity. This week we were busy scouting locations for our Blissful Body workshop, shipping product for a huge event, receiving, sorting & storing inventory, shipping the weeks orders, taking a minute Thursday to baby sit the niece & nephew (never enough arms, ears & tissues for those two...lol) not to mention we were taking calls and answering email the whole time!!....what a week. So much more to look forward to next week.

Have a great weekend!!

Busting At The Seams

Hi Beauties,

Sorry I've been M.I.A. at the blog lately. There's lots going on behind the scenes at Nidasii. At the moment I'm looking for an affordably priced manufacturing space. In the past three years we have grown so much that I have exhausted every storage solution to store our products and supplies. Back in December I thought I found our dream spot, I even blogged about the discovery of the beautiful space. But, we were outbid by another company!! AAAGGHHH, the life of an indie. Well it's time for us to start looking again so if you want to follow us on this journey we will be updating on our Twitter and FB pages!! Our goal is to be in our new space by June so we can have a huge opening party and invite all of you!! Who wouldn't love a party especially one with beauty products....LOL.

As always we love your comments so feel free to post them here. And if you want to suggest a manufacturing space you can post that here too...LOL

Enjoy your day Beauties.

Four Men Doing Big Things

Today, I'm taking a break from the usual banter of this blog to introduce you to the four men of Cilli Puddie. Take a look at thier Promo video to learn more about them and thier clothing line. Oh, did I mention one of them is my Cousin, hey Amaarii. I know it's a shameless plug, but, what can I say it's family. So please stop by thier YouTube channel and show them some L.O.V.E.!!

Things are a changing

Hey, I hope all of you are doing well this Monday. It's a new week so make it your greatest. Well, Im trying to make this blog greater by switching things up a bit and adding a new weekly feature all about curly hair. Yes, I'm trying to break away from some of the humbrum blogging, yes, I said humdrum. Before I became a Product Junkie Entreprenuer, I was and still am a Clinical Researcher. So, by nature I love to do research and share knowledge. I hope these new Kinky Curly posts will inspire conversations regarding all forms of tightly & loosely coiled curly hair. I even plan on breaking down the ingredients commonly found in these products and what effects they actually have on the hair. The purpose of these posts will be to inspire conversations and share knowledge!! As always, this blog is all about the beautiful people that take a minute or two out of thier day to read what's going on with or at Nidasii, so please send us any questions you may have

What do you think about the weekly "Kinky Curly" posts? Is this something that interests you?

Why Nina?

Since yesterday I have received quite a few direct messages and texts after Donna Maria, founder of the Indie Beauty Network, tweeted that I named my iphone "Nina". Well those of you that are familiar with my wonderful family and friends will not be surprised to hear most of them had jokes for days while the other half felt the same as me , lost, when they realize they left it home or have forgotten it somewhere. So, to answer your questions of why I #1 chose to give it a name and 2nd why Nina? Here's your answer.

Honestly, I decided to give it a name because it's always by my side and secondly whenever someone asked me a question (like directions, temperature, time, translations...you name it) and I did not have the answer I always said let me ask my assistant (referring to the iphone & me being funny of course). So I got tired of saying "let me ask my assistant". Now, if anyone asks me a question and I do not have the answer I now say "Let me ask my assistant Nina"...LOL. I must say it's truly an instrument I use to conduct business on a daily basis. Especially as a "Small Business" owner it helps me tremendously when I am able to stay connected to all forms of social media like Facebook and Twitter when I'm in front of my laptop.

When I decided to give it a name Nina was the first name that came to mind without much thought. I then, remembered a verse in a song where they say "I keep my Nina by my side" and decided that pretty much summarized how I felt about my iphone

I'm also happy Apple finally addressed one of my biggest wishes and finally created a device that allows you to record video. Here's an excerpt from one of my previous blog posts.

"As with any product there is always room for improvement. So I feel the iphone should be upgraded to record video".

I hope you enjoyed this post! Do you have an iphone? Does it help you run your business or manage your time efficiently? What are your thoughts?

Why I've Been M.I.A.

I know I have been M.I.A for a few weeks now. And, yes there is no excuse for not posting for several weeks, but, there’s a lot going on behind the scenes at Nidasii. I have decided this blog is the best place to keep you informed of the latest happenings. For starters, we just moved into a new space and we're making much needed updates to the website. I must say a lot has changed in the last three years and its time we stepped up our game. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the new look and updates to the website. I’m even working on a few video posts. Yes, the person (me) that likes to stay in the background and work behind the scenes is stepping in front of the camera because I want to stay connected to all of you.

As always this blog is for you so please leave your comments.

Why it Works

I recieved two questions about yesterdays blog post "Nidasii Kinky Curly Hair tip #3". Although they read the post they did not leave the comment at the blog. Instead, they sent me a Direct Message on Twitter. They both asked the same question. They wanted to know "why/how" the glycerine & water mixture makes the hair soft.

So here it is. I explained how it works, now here's why it works. This tip works because glycerine is a humectant, that abords moisture from the air. When glycerine is mixed in a soloutioun of water and sprayed into the hair it's quickly absorbed into the hairs cuticle making it plump and juicy. When the cuticle is hydrated in its natural curly state defined curls are sure to follow.

Do you have any questions? Please keep sending your questions and comments wether it's here on the blog or on Twitter keep sending them!!
