Pamper Yourself and Your Little One this Mother’s Day: Just Leave a Comment Below for Your Chance to Win Mother/Daughter Treatment Kits

A few days ago I was laughing with my cousin Tammy, mom to a 3 going on 30 year old cutie pie, about how we now have one more gift-getting holiday. It’s my “first” Mother’s Day, and I’m looking forward to a diaper-free day and whatever my husband has planned (hint hint).
Personally, I think any mom with a baby or young kids would just be happy with a day of relaxation and pampering. That’s why we’re giving two readers the chance to win Mother/Daughter treatment kits from Sofn’ Free! I love their GroHealthy product line because it’s made with organic ingredients such as milk protein, olive oil and omega 3 to specifically treat Black hair. Plus, the Sofn’ Free n’ Pretty products for little girls are made from sunflower and olive oil to help hair grow healthy and strong. The treatment kits are easy to use at home or great to take along to the salon.
This contest ENDS Monday, May 10th so leave a comment with an email address that you check frequently (email address will not show up on the site) for a chance to WIN.

Thursday was the finale of the “ Get Beach Body Glam with NUBIA” workout sessions with personal trainer Alethia Osbourne-Folye at Printing House Fitness and Squash Club in Soho. Our winners Pebbles and Donnette (below) were fantastic and it was cool getting to know you ladies every Thursday and Saturday for the last two weeks. Alethia was a drill sergeant but they were dedicated to getting their workout on and feeling the burn. Now my penchant for honesty makes me admit that my butt was not at every session—you go Nicky! But you know my iron is low and I get weak easily, no lie (wink). We hope to see you guys along with our other readers at Nicky’s Birthday bash and NUBIA All-White event at Providence NYC on July 2. And remember ladies, if you got it, flaunt it!

Pebbles, our "Get Beach Body Glam w/NUBIA" contest winner
“It was great meeting you guys. Again thanks to all the NUBIA women for making it possible. I’m now spoiled by Alethia and have no choice but to continue using her—Pebbles

Donnette, our "Get Beach Body Glam w/NUBIA" contest winner
“This experience was such a great jump start as I discovered new physical strengths and weaknesses. “Mind over matter” was my mantra that kept me moving when it hurt like crazy! It feels great to know that with the right encouragement it’s always a little bit easier. Thanks to NUBIA mag, and our trainer Alethia, the workout was great and so are you chocolate divas!”–Donnette
