Transition in Reverse

We're finally experiencing a bit of a break in the scorching weather that's hit NYC. It's still hot, but a small dip in temperature is a welcome change! Other developments have revealed the opportunities that lie in change. A loved one's personal choice can prompt us to evolve. A change in regulation allows clients to stay put. A change in our landscape results in a blooming haven and thanks to our supporters we have a chance at a blooming future for our small business. Any way you look at it, "A Change Is Gonna Come," so might as well go with the flow...

Park it Here


We received notice that starting July (that's now) the 4p.m. to 7p.m. parking restriction on our side of the street has been lifted.  Yaaa!  In other words parking is now allow on our side of the block all day long.  You just have to feed the meters.  These changes were requested by local stakeholders including the Atlantic Avenue Betterment Association. And I cannot begin to tell you how pleased we are about this! We no longer have to worry about clients being towed.


Sea Scape

I was accepted into a project called Primordial Scents - Elements 2012 for my perfume
The founder of the Elements Project
Monica Miller
a.k.a
Perfume Pharmer
had this to say about 
Sea Scape
-"Anu Prestonia defies the boundaries of "beginner perfumer" to challenge (beautifully) the seasoned natural perfumers. Anu has a remarkable sensibility and sensitivity- but perhaps not so remarkable- as she is a seasoned artist in the realm of hair fashion. As the Curator of the ART Scent show that is Primordial Scents 2012 I am pleased, very pleased, with Anu's submission".

Samples of the Primordial Water Elements perfumes are now available via Etsy

 

Transition in Reverse
Anu & Ptahra circa 1995

While the transition movement of going from chemically relaxed hair to natural hair is growing by leaps and bounds, I am having a different experience with my nieces. After being natural all their lives, they have decided for various reasons, to choose other options. What's an Auntie to do? The first thing I had to do is realize I had a double standard when it came to my nieces and observe and accept their Transition in Reverse.

Trini Braids A Summer Classic  
 

The Atlantic Avenue Extravaganza was a lovely day in Brooklyn.  It was warm, sunny, and plenty of people came from near and far to take it the scene.  We had a great white wine sangria that quenched my thirst and it was great so see people supporting the merchants on Atlantic Avenue.  We had a beautiful model Keshia, who sported our summer classic, Trini style and greeted our guests.  So lovely!

Our Garden
 

One of the perks of our current location is that it has a small garden space. And as anyone from the city can tell you, having access to any piece of nature in NYC is a precious commodity. I know, I know, it's been way too hot to think of sitting outside for a lunch or snack break. Thankfully the temperatures are returning to normal. So in the event that that you would like to, we have an outdoor seating area that you're welcome to experience.
