In this month of flowering, sunshine and sweet breezes, let's
invoke the question posed by a game some of us played in childhood: "Mother,
May I?" In May we celebrate mothers. Those of us who are mothers can honor and
pamper ourselves; those of us who aren't, can honor our mothers by pampering
her baby, no matter how big that baby is now. This month we celebrate an
exciting milestone for Anu Essentials and introduce you to some delicious and
emotionally nutritious products that make bath-time sublime. They also make
perfect Mother's Day gifts! Or you can gift yourself or your Mom with fine
jewelry crafted by a Khamit Kinks client. At the salon, a new mother returns to
the fold, while another Stylist returns home for a visit. Speaking of travel, we salute our treasured clients who literally go the extra mile to show their and we share with you a visual trip to Africa, where the artistic Omo people
look to nature as the ultimate adornment. |

The Omo People Sponsor

Spring 2010 has had a real visceral effect on me. Perhaps it was because of the long winter. But I felt more appreciative than usual about this time of the year, as all of nature seemed to be so vibrant and colorful. And then I saw an image of one of the Omo people in someone's home and I was reminded of how much these beautiful people inspire me. The Omo people with their amazing creativity, have a fabulous way of blending three of my favorite elements, nature, hair and make-up! The Omo take these element to another level.

Lapidary and Pearls
Did you know that in many cultures the ocean and what comes from the ocean represents motherhood and nurturing? That would include the naturally occurring gems known as pearls.
This Mother's Day season you might consider longtime Khamit Kinks client,
Sandra Went and her husband John are the only two people of color selling fine
jewelry in the wholesale jewelry district located on the famed Bowery
Street in Chinatown. What they offer ranges
from one-of-a-kind design requests made by clients who have their own design ideas to those who want replicated what
they see in the magazines, to traditional styles. There is a wide range in terms of design and price point, so don't be
deterred. If you are in the market
for receive or give pearls this Mother's Day and graduation season, check this
sister out.

A Trek Work Making
We
have any number of clients who travel long distances to visit Khamit Kinks
because what we offer cannot be found or duplicated anywhere near where they
live. These clients often go out
of their way to express their appreciation for our services. I was certainly humbled by the
appreciation expressed recently by two out-of-town clients. They made me realize how very special
they are and how blessed we are to be able to offer them what their current
home-base cannot. Thank you to
Linda Lawson from Westerville Ohio, Vivian Beckford who travels from Chicago
and Marilynn Brake of Michigan, Joann Keith of Boston, Terrie McMilllan from Cali
and all the rest of our out-of-town clients. They make special trips to visit
Khamit Kinks and then wow the folks back home! We appreciate the extra effort
it takes for you to do business with us.
