Let's start fresh in the new year by taking better care of ourselves from the inside out. And one of the best places to shop for natural and organic beauty, bath and hair products is at Whole Body by Whole Foods Market.

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

Win a Free Pair of Perfect Fit Jeans from Eddie Bauer!

Finding the right pair of jeans is one of the hardest shopping endeavors ever.  For me, flared styles tend to work best since I'm smaller in the waist and fuller in the hips.  But thanks to Eddie Bauer's new denim line -- which launches online and at Eddie Bauer stores everywhere Aug. 6 -- I've found a petite pair of straight jeans that fit my curves perfectly.   Eddie Bauer denim./Photo by Tracy E.

The Re-Education of NeNe Leakes: The Reality Star Talks About College Hill, What Housewives She's Still Friends With and More

I’ve been a fan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta since the beginning.     So I jumped at the chance to chat with original RHOA cast member and breakout star NeNe Leakes.     It’s been a tough couple of years since NeNe parted ways with the show. In 2021 her husband Gregg lost his battle with colon cancer and earlier this year she filed a discrimination lawsuit against her former employer, Bravo. But on the brighter side, the 54-year-old is dating again and starring in the BET limited reality series,   College Hill: Celebrity Edition.    Along with other headline-grabbing reality TV stars including, Big Freedia, Lamar Odom, Stacey Dash and Ray J., NeNe and the members of the cast lived together and attended classes at the historically Black Texas Southern University.     We asked NeNe what it was like to go back to school, what the biggest misconception about her is, which housewives she's still friendly with, and more.   Everything She Wants : What did it feel like being back in
