I logged onto Twitter and noticed that Shea Moisture was trending and I just had to find out why. It turns out it’s because of their latest advertising effort that features a loose curl having mixed woman (or maybe she’s Afro-Latina) and a number of Caucasian women talking about how they use Shea Moisture products …

Can you keep a secret? I’ll be turning 30 this year… Shhhh, don’t tell anyone! My birthday is in June but a little early preparation never hurt anyone.
