Missing Heavenly?

The Anu Essentials brand of products makes every effort to only include top-quality natural ingredients. While we have had both naturally and synthetically scented products in our line, I am steadily moving towards naturally scented products only for Anu Essentials. I understand that some of our clients are not on board with the demise of synthetic scented products in our product line. Please accept my apology for using synthetic fragrances in any of our products to begin with. Understand that my decision is made with your overall and long-term health in mind. Think about it, how 'heavenly' can it be, if it's killing you? That being said, if you feel you simply must have Heavenly, you might consider checking out the original - Heavenly known as - Read more

Some loyal readers of this newsletter may remember me introducing you to Michael Boadi in my post entitled Some Like It Green.  Michael is a black man hailing from England who has an exquisite perfume line.  Well, You may be interested to know that Catherine Middleton, the 'Duchess of Cambridge,' made history on her wedding day by wearing a perfume designed by Michael Broadi! One can't help but think that this is a bride Princess Diana would have adored. Catherine obviously has a mind of her own, very much like her deceased mother-in-law.

 

While First Lady Michelle Obama was in England she also met with Michael and purchased- Read more 

The Mother of Khamit Kinks 


Taeisha 3 

 Taeisha Black  

 

On this Mother's Day, I'd like to take time to recognize our Manager Taeisha Black. Taeisha has been a member of the Khamit Kinks team since the late 90's and from the beginning she brought with her that special gift of nurturing others.

 

Taeisha started out as the assistant to the manager and honed her skills, becoming a serious and active listener. A naturally caring and nurturing person, Taeisha quickly made her mark on the company when she stepped into the role of Manager. She had a genuine way of connecting with clients that left them feeling seen and heard - Read more on Taeisha

We're Moving

Can you believe that this August will make five years since we moved from TriBeCa to Brooklyn's Metro Tech area? Time marches on and we must do the same. Five years ago when I had to relocate, I had my heart set on a particular location. But for one reason or another it just didn't work out. Now five years later, that same location happened to be available again, right in concert with our search for a warmer, friendlier space. We have worked out a long-term lease and so this will be our home for at least a decade.

The new location is only one subway stop from our present space. It's the 'A' train to Hoyt and Schmerhorn Street and is a short two blocks from the subway station, in the downtown area known as Boerum Hill, home of the famous street festival known as Atlantic Antic. We are nestled in a quaint section of Atlantic Avenue that used to be known as Antique Row. Today many of the furniture stores have been replaced with chic boutiques. There are all kinds of quality businesses and all around us are any number of places to eat and shop. There are also several parking lots. Please check out this link (then type in 400 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn,NY) to see where our new home will be. Our expected move date is August 1st 2011.

I know Lee Hall-Smith is going to be happy about this! Lee has been a client of ours since I did hair in my Harlem apartment on 118th Street in the early 80's. She would trek from Boerum Hill to Harlem on a regular basis and has followed us to every location with a smile and continued support. Our new location is located right around the corner from Lee's home. As one of our supporters from way back, I know she'll be delighted by this upcoming move.
