She's Back: Whitney Houston

The 2nd annual BET Honors took place Saturday night in Washington DC and yes it was a start-studded event. This year it was hosted by talented actress Gabrielle Union and Savvy Sistah's Angela Bassett, Queen Latifah, Mary J. Blidge, Yolanda Adams,Star Jones, B. Smith and Cookie Johnson were also in attendance.

I have seen many pictures from this event but for some reason the photos of Whitney Houston stood out the most. She looks good and appears to be drug free. I believe that she still is a talented singer and will go down in history as one of the best of all times.

Although Whitney did not perform (she presented an award to Tyler Perry) she is suppose to sing for Clive Davis' pre-grammy party in February, so maybe this time "She's Back" for good.

The BET Honors will air on BET, February 9th at 9:00pm.

Product Review: Sensodyne Pronamel

Over the past view months my teeth have become very sensitive to pretty much everything that touches them.I can't even whiten my teeth with my beloved Crest White Strips anymore. However one day I saw a commercial for a toothpaste called Sensodyne Pronamel and I decided to give it a try and after about two weeks of continuous use my teeth are feeling so much better. Not only does this toothpaste help with sensitivity but it also helps to rebuild enamel. I bought my 4oz tube for under $3.00 at Walmart. They also make other products like mouthwash and toothbrushes to maximize the benefits.
The directions say that you should "brush two times per day to harden enamel and relieve sensitivity".

"Drive Your Way" Out of Debt With Hyundai

Have you ever been late on a car payment and just wanted to give the car back? We'll according to an article by the Associated Press,Hyundai Motor America, a Korean based automotive manufacturer is giving car owners the opportunity to do just that.

I know things are bad, but when you can give back a car free of charge, it shows exactly what's going on in our economy.

Birthstone Style: The Vibrant Garnet

Every month I'm going to do a feature called "Birthstone Style". This will highlight the gemstone for the month and include fashions, accessories or even home decor to coordinate with the shade. So if your birthday is in January your birthstone is a "Garnet".This gemstone is found in many different shades although it is commonly known as a red gemstone. It was first mined in Sri Lanka over 2500 years ago and comes from the Latin word granatus, meaning "grain or seed". The name garnet comes from the close resemblence to the pomegranate fruit seeds. So even if your birthday isn't in January you can still wear a stylish hat, carry a hip handbag or step out in trendy shoes that compliment the exquisite sparkle of the garnet.
