Everything She Wants recently perused the aisles at a Whole Body in New York City in search of new hair products and this is what we found:

WiseWays Herbals Goldilocks Hair Oil ($10): The great thing about Whole Body is that you'll discover products you've never seen before. We were looking for a hair growth stimulating oil, and Voila, we found this one containing extracts of organic Basil, Nettle & Rosemary Leaf, Lavender Flower & Burdock Root, and Jojoba and Coconut oils.

Giovanni Eco Chic Hair Care ($8.99): Formulated especially for dry, damaged hair, the 2chic Avocado & Olive Oil Ultra-Moist Shampoo, Conditioner and Deep Deep Moisture Hair Mask will leave your hair feeling soft and silky smooth and looking healthier than ever. We've tried the products and love 'em.

Avalon Organics Scalp Treatment Tea Tree ($10.50): This shampoo and conditioner are infused with Aloe and vitamins to soothe skin irritation for lasting scalp comfort and strong, shiny and nourished hair. We like to tingly feeling from the tea tree oil. Try using the conditioner as a deep treatment and leave it on for 45 minutes under a shower cap.

Beautiful Curls Shea Butter Curl Activating products ($12 - $14): Beautiful Curls sulfate-free Shea Butter Curl Activating Shampoo and Curl Activating Cream have received rave reviews for use on curly to kinky hair types. We have them in our beauty closet and they're next on our "to try" list.

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

(Tracy E. Hopkins) It's the end of a budget shopping era. Conway discount stores are closing in New York City . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore. I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued. I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store. And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and

Memorial Day Summer Swimsuits in the Amazon.com Swim Shop!

Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner. Do you have your new summer swimsuit yet? If not, Everything She Wants recommends checking out Amazon.com's Amazon Swim Shop . Me at the Amazon Swim Shop preview. The online shop is stocked year-round with trendy and timeless swimsuit styles, cover ups and swim accessories from your favorite brands. While I'm usually partial to the figure-flattering tankini, at a press preview for the Amazon Swim Shop, I noticed that the often unforgiving one-piece suit has made a compelling comeback. Thanks to a generous gift card from Amazon I took a chance and ordered a Calvin Klein one-piece in a pretty nude/coral "Sand" color, along with several bohemian tunics. Now here's your turn. One lucky reader will receive a promo code for $100 to spend at the Amazon Swim Shop (qualifying items must be sold and shipped directly by Amazon and not a third-party seller). Here's how you can win ( you must comp

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Graces Brooklyn Academy of Music, June 4-9, 2024

Dance is expression. Dance is spiritual. Dance is activism. Dance is life. I feel most alive when I am listening to music and dancing. As a spectator and fan, some of my fondest moments of watching dance performances have been witnessing the dignity and grace of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Every time I see the Ailey company, I am inspired, moved, and grounded in the beauty and complexity of the African American experience. Photo by Paul Kolnik For me, the highlight is always "Revelations," Mr. Ailey's three-part ode to his upbringing in the Black Baptist church. The three sections -- "Pilgrim of Sorrow"; "Take Me to the Water"; and "Move, Members, Move" -- tell the story of African American faith and persistence from slavery to freedom. Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of taking an outdoor Community Workshop in downtown Brooklyn, where we learned some of the choreography for "Revelations." I beamed from ear to ear
