It took me months to get on the CurlBox VIP list - I even paid for Wifi while I was in Jamaica to get on it, and they still sold out! So, I finally devised a plan to get it while I was in Puerto Rico - and it worked. Big thanks to CousinJin for stalking the sign up while I was out of the country.
The packaging was beautiful, I love the wrapping paper - it's like getting a present every month in the mail! The color scheme is boss as well.
I finally got in for July, and the box did not disappoint. Take a minute to peep my box opening video:
I know there was a bit of controversy because of the Luster's Pink Lotion, probably because of its ingredients. I have read, though - that they have reconfigured the original ingredients to be more natural friendly. I haven't used any products in the box yet, but I will be testing them out daily on my road trip next week. Stay tuned, and let me know if you've tried any of these products before I do!
It's a journey you've been on before, yet each trip is a different path. You try to prepare yourself, bringing the necessary essentials; warm heart, strong arms, honest lips. You spend days, months, sometimes years training, building endurance for the excursion of your life. "This is it - this is the one", you say to yourself and press on.
The climb is hard, your arms grow weary, you begin to lose your footing. A wave of fear comes over you, "will I fall again?" Memories of pain paralyze your body, and you begin to get cold feet. Suddenly you slip, the ground turning into air beneath you. Bracing yourself for the impact, you claw, fight and scratch for anything to hold on to. Nearing the ground, you give up hope - but just as you get close, a strong, but gentle wind appears and lifts you. The breeze caresses your face, cradles you, and lifts you back to the heights where you belong.
A renewed strength boosts your energy and sends you climbing with a firm grip. You hear a voice, and find someone climbing behind you - he has arrived. The wind has brought you company, a climber who endured the rough terrain and is now sitting at the top - with you...
I love the old' school homage in the beat and hook - reminds me of a Tribe Called Quest, not to mention Pusha always delivers cold verses. These days, I'm a firm believer that women can be in videos without being naked - this is a perfect testament of that.
For all the dope chicks out there - this is for you!
