What this means for us: We are going to be given products by Carol’s Daughter to review and we will post our reviews here and our youtube channel. Now, these will be sponsored reviews but we want to stress the fact that our time, editing and camera woman skills (ha!) are for sale NOT our opinion. Our reviews will be honest and forthcoming. Sellouts are not welcome or cultivated here.

What this means for you: It means that you will be getting the inside scoop on Carol’s Daughter products on the regular and sometimes even before they are launched. So, it’s somewhat exclusive over here. You’ll also get an idea of what product work and don’t work on our two different hair types. In addition, we are constantly being asked to do more product reviews but honestly Shanti and I use the same things everyday so this will be a great way to get us experimenting and to give you more reviews.

So, big thanks to all at Carol’s Daughter!  We’re excited about our partnership. And we look forward to bringing are Around the Way Curls some fresh new material.

I wish we would have thought about it. hpmh.

But for real, when we post about articles we write for other sites does anyone read them? Because NOBOOOOOOODY comments. 0_O
