I just wanted to touch base with anyone who has ever won a prize off my blog. I have decided that I will be limiting my giveaways and reviews and would like to know now if ANYONE is still waiting for a prize that they have won off my blog.    If so can you please email me and let me know so I can check up on this.  I have always required any company or PR that I work with to send the prizes out within 2 weeks or to let me know of any hold ups that might prevent that.

This has always been my policy and they always agree to this but it has come to my attention that a few prizes have not been sent out. Sometimes it could mean just a slight over view that can be promptly fixed and of course some that will take a little more work.   As I move forward with my blog I would love to resolve all those issues now.

I feel that I am doing a service to these companies by holding their reviews and giveaways in a timely manner and in return I expect them to do the same by sending your prizes out.  When companies don’t hold their end of the bargain, we as bloggers are the ones that look bad and are blamed for it.   I just want you to know us bloggers that hold giveaways will try to help our winners any way we can get your prizes, but we can’t do that if we don’t know you haven’t received it or you don’t contact us in a certain time frame.

Thanks,

Jen

I will be the First to say That I am so Happy that Mattel has launched a new line of black Barbie dolls with fuller lips, a wider nose and more pronounced cheek bones some will have curly hair and some will have skin that is darker in huh which more accurately represent African-American women. I was able to review this line of barbies and must say that I am impressed!

I want to THANK YOU Barbie designer Stacey McBride-Irby,

who is black and has a 6-year-old daughter, She Said she wanted to create a line of dolls for young black girls that looked like them and were inspirational and career-minded. The Dolls are also are mentors and teachers to the three little sisters named Courtney, Kianna and Janessa, inspiring them in sports, music and art.

Two years ago, McBride-Irby watched her then four-year-old daughter play and was inspired to
develop a line of black fashion dolls that her daughter could relate to. McBride-Irby personally
designed and directed the dolls’ fashions and sculpts, packaging and storylines based on what
she heard as moms’ desires in her community.

“For 50 years, Barbie has inspired girls to be anything they want to be – embracing girls of all
backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures and ages while representing more than 50 nationalities,” said
Stephanie Cota, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Barbie. “We are so proud to introduce the
So In Style dolls and to provide girls of all ethnicities and cultures another way to play with
Barbie.”

LOOK AT THEM THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL!

Trichelle & Janessa

Grace & Courtney

Kara & Kianna

I feel the black community has been ignored in the barbie world long enough and I am so glad to see that is changing! A Must Have for the holiday Season Ladies! I urge you all to go support this line of new barbies this year and hope we see many more in the feature!
