    Best Blonde Wigs For Black Women

    Yes, black women wear blonde wigs. It doesn’t matter whether the woman is light, dark-skinned, fair or what have you: They have a right to style themselves how ever they feel beautiful.

    Of course, many black women choose to wear wigs that work with their shade, but “work” is a very subjective term. But the truth is that they’re spending tens of millions annually on wigs.

    The Atlanta hair industry is one of the largest in the Southeast, with more than 8 million people getting groomed each month. Here are the best blonde wigs for black women:

    BESFOR Short Bob Lace Front Wigs Human Hair Glueless Slightly Bleached Knots – $63.88

    Buy It

    Here’s what one reviewer says about this wig: “After reading multiple reviews about this wig I decided to purchase. Wig arrived fast. Color was 613 but very brassy, which can be fixed w purple shampoo. Hairline is preplucked and they did a very good job w the hair line.”

    N&T Afro Short Curly Wigs for Black Women Synthetic Hair Ombre Blonde and Brown Wig – $18.99

    Here’s what one reviewer says about this wig: “You have to make this wig your own. It comes with tight spiral curls. If you want it to look more like an afro, you’ll have to pick out/separate the curls a lot (use fingers). If you do this, be careful. It’s synthetic and can give you that bad frizzy look if you do too much separating.”

    Blonde Lace Front Human Hair Wig Deep Part Brazilian Virgin Remy Hair Bleached – $96

    Here’s what one reviewer says about this wig: “I bought this wig for my wife who constantly enjoys changing her hair style and color. she fell in love with the quality of this hair. The hair is very soft no tangles. Took color extremely well! She did the water color method and the color is very beautiful and vibrant.”

    DÉBUT Lace Front Wig For Black Women Heat Resistant Fibers – $33.99

    Here’s what one reviewer says about this blonde wig: “I’m new to the whole wig-wearing scene, but I love this! Initially, I tried it on and was skeptical about how natural it would look… After a while of playing with it and trimming some bangs for a more natural hairline it is safe to say that this thing looks like it came out of my own head. Easy to fasten in the back and comfortable for everyday.”

    What Kinds Of Wigs Look Most Natural?

    You may have apprehensions about wearing a blonde wig because it doesn’t quite match your skin tone or complexion. That’s totally understandable.

    The most natural-looking wigs are typically those crafted from human hair. They should also be full lace or lace front, which blends in nicely with your natural hairline.

    Can You Tell If Someone Is Wearing A Wig?

    To the untrained eye, it is usually hard to tell if someone is wearing a wig, especially if the lace front or full lace is done right.

    If you study where the hair parts in the crown of the head, you may be able to tell if someone is wearing a wig or not.

    Final Word

    Platinum blonde wigs have been a part of pop culture since the early 20th century. The best blonde wigs make you feel like a star and the center of attention.
    Blonde wigs are a beautiful fashion statement about your hair, confidence and style. No matter what color your skin, rest assured that your outside appearance is temporary anyway, just like any wig or even real hair in most cases.

    Be you, be beautiful, be blessed.

  • How to cook a turkey

    Atlanta Thanksgiving: How To Cook a ‘Dirty Bird’ Turkey

    3 Min Read

    If you don’t want to go to your favorite Atlanta restaurant for Thanksgiving, cooking your own turkey is the way to go.

    In this article, we’ll show you a simple way to cook a turkey at home. Following these steps, your bird will be done in no time.

    Because we’re in Atlanta, we’re going to make a “Dirty Bird” turkey, which means we’ll season it with Kosmos Dirty Bird Seasoning, one of our favorites.

    Turkey can be cooked in a variety of ways, making it a versatile ingredient for many dishes. It can be roasted, grilled, smoked, or braised. It can also be used in salads, sandwiches, and soups.

    How To Cook a ‘Dirty Bird’ Turkey: Atlanta Recipe

    When cooking turkey, your goal is to achieve a heat that gives you a texture that is both tender and juicy. White meat, which is found on the breast, is lower in fat and therefore more prone to drying out. Dark meat, which is found on the legs and thighs, has more fat and is therefore more moist and flavorful.

    Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to cook a turkey:

    Ingredients:

    • 1 turkey, thawed and patted dry
    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 onion, quartered
    • 1 lemon, quartered
    • 1 bunch of fresh herbs, such as thyme, sage, and rosemary

    Equipment:

    • Roasting pan
    • Roasting rack
    • Meat thermometer
    • Baster
    • Aluminum foil

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
    2. Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey cavity and discard.
    3. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
    4. Rub the turkey with softened butter.
    5. Rub the turkey down with Kosmos Dirty Bird Seasoning.
    6. Season the turkey with salt, pepper, and herbs.
    7. Stuff the turkey cavity with the onion, lemon, and herbs.
    8. Place the turkey on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.
    9. Roast the turkey for 3 hours, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
    10. Baste the turkey with pan juices every 30 minutes.
    11. Cover the turkey with aluminum foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to prevent it from drying out.
    12. Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving.

    Enjoy your delicious roast turkey!

    Final Word

    Cooking a turkey can seem like a daunting task, but it’s actually quite simple. When cooked properly, turkey can be a very delicious and flavorful meat. 

    Make sure you enhance the turkey’s flavor by adding your choice of herbs and spices. Common seasonings for turkey include salt, pepper, sage, rosemary, thyme, and garlic.

    Atlanta Thanksgiving Travel Guide: Where To Eat, Travel & Shop

    5 Min Read

    With Thanksgiving just a bit away, now’s the time to put together your Atlanta game plan if you’re headed here for the event-packed weekend. Consider this article a guide to getting to where you need to go this holiday season.

    Thanks to Google Maps, we have some traffic and travel data to help us find our way. The site has supplied us with data to get a closer look at when, where and what to visit during Atlanta’s holiday season.

    We’re also going to cover:

    • Best times to get on and off the road
    • Atlanta places to visit for the holidays
    • Atlanta places to eat during the holidays

    When To Avoid Traffic

    Because we know that I-285 goes around and around, we want to make sure we don’t get caught up in gridlock. If you’re planning on leaving for a Thanksgiving road trip, here’s what to know:

    • Nationally: The day before Thanksgiving between 3 and 4 p.m. is the worst time to travel (by 6 a.m., you’re good)
    • In Atlanta:
      • The best time to leave before Thanksgiving is Thursday at 6 a.m.

      • The worst time to leave before Thanksgiving is Wednesday at 3 p.m.
      • The worst time to leave after Thanksgiving is Sunday at 3 p.m.

    How To Avoid The Holiday Crowds

    Who likes loud noises and throngs of people? Few adults, that’s who. Because public places are going to transform into bustling spaces full of people, you need to know when to go out and about:

    To find this out, Google looked at Popular Times data at key holiday destinations during Thanksgiving week to find when the crowds tended to swell.

    Google analyzed when crowds usually grow at five of the largest holiday-heavy places in Atlanta: Bakeries, grocery stores, liquor stores, movie theaters, and shopping centers.

    Here’s When To Go Out & About in Atlanta

    • Bakery: The best time to visit a bakery is on Thursday at 9 a.m. (least crowded). The worst time is on Wednesday at noon (most crowded).
    • Grocery store: The best time to visit a grocery store is on Thursday at 7 a.m. The worst time is on Wednesday at 4 p.m.
    • Liquor store: The best time to visit a liquor store is on Tuesday at 10 p.m. The worst time is on Wednesday at 5 p.m.
    • Movie theater: The best time to visit a movie theater is on Tuesday at 11 a.m. The worst time is on Tuesday at 7 p.m.

    Fulton DA Fani Willis Just Requested Trump’s Trial Date

    1 Min Read

    Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has requested a trial date of Monday, August 5, 2024, for former President Donald Trump.

    The document, unveiled on Friday, Nov. 17, 2023, shows that Willis is not keen on avoiding having a trial in the middle of the 2024 elections, which many critics see as an attempt to derail a second Trump presidency.

    Here is a copy of the document from Fulton County:

    Trump trial date letter in Fulton County

    Willis had previously sought a March 2024 trial for Trump and his co-defendants but now that other states have filed cases against the former president, she has had to adjust to allow those proceedings to take place.

    Since announcing the indictments in August, Willis has been the target of racist threats and verbal attacks.

    In early September, Willis wrote a scathing letter to Ohio Congress Jim Jordan, a Republican that has attempted to derail her investigation.
