Nzuri Fest 2012!

Hey Basketcases! Here is my quick recap of The Nzuri Natural Hair and Health Show 2012.

I attended on Sunday, December 9th, 2012, and wow! From the moment I walked through the doors of the Reliant Center, I could feel the chill yet exciting vibe surround me. Y'all, I couldn't believe how FIERCE the Houston naturalistas were--the clothes, the accessories, and most importantly, the HAIR!

Tons of local and national vendors were on hand to offer products, samples, accessories, and demonstrations. Miss Jessie's, Curls, The Natural Me, B Natural Apparel, Obsidian Beauty Supply, Entwine Naturalle Couture, and I Love Being Black were just a few of the vendors that I saw and patronized.

I also got to catch up with some of my favorite bloggers, photographers, and designers. Here are a few pics from Sunday:

Naturally Fab Weekend in Houston!

This Friday and Saturday (12/8 & 12/9), yours truly will be attending the Nzuri Natural Hair Health and Beauty Showcase at the Reliant Center in Houston. I will post interviews, pics, and of course, my take on the festivities as a rookie naturalista. More to come!

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself...

Despite warnings from the FBI, FCC, and any other organization with an "F" acronym, The TiffNic Basket has made its entrance into the blog world. Ladies, gentlemen, and all y'all who fall somewhere in between, be prepared for something you've never read before. This is my first blog, so it's gonna be all over the place--you know, kinda like yours truly. 

I will provide my take on this crazy world we live in, with a special focus on all things social. New features will include: "Naturally Speaking", my take on living life as a natural-haired curly girl; Facebook Fails; and Local Love, a column where I will show H-Town the love it truly deserves. 

 I will also feature a bimonthly fictional series, "Misadventures of a Social Networker", a fierce, funny glimpse into the world we all know and love (or HATE). Names will be changed to protect the guilty.

Why did I start this blog? Simple: to share my amusing rants (hey you over there snickering--yes I am funny, dammit!) with the world. Check your feelings at the door folks, and enjoy the ride!
