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

It's the end of an era. Conway discount stores are closing . 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 New York City, 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 white checkered pants with a matching lime green

Soak Up the Last Weeks of Summer Sun At The Rockaway Hotel

Summer is winding down, but there's still time to soak up the sun -- while wearing sunscreen, chic shades and a protective hat or sun visor, of course.

Day passes are available for non-hotel guests Monday through Thursday (excluding private events, 10 am -7 pm). Located in the heart of the Rockaway Beach community in Queens, New York, the Rockaway Hotel is just a few short blocks from the sand and surf. Besides the outdoor pool, the newly built 84,000 square foot hotel offers around 60 guest rooms, a restaurant, a rooftop bar, and a large event space. And it's a nice addition to the area. When my husband and I visited the popular pool, we enjoyed yummy sips and bites poolside. Lounging chairs are first come, first serve so the early bird gets the spot of their choice.
