Health and Beauty Tuesday: Kmart’s Share the Word Campaign Launches With Steve Harvey
As a blogger I have worked closely with Kmart and I have always had a great experience with them. I had the privilege of being dressed by some of their designers last year at Blogher, which was really fun and an amazing experience. I love how Kmart is working hard to improve their products and reach their customers.
Now, Kmart has teamed up with Steve Harvey for their new Share the Word (kmart.com/sharetheword) campaign which is designed to provide valuable resources to their customers during Black History Month. This year, their focus is beauty and wellness.
Steve Harvey launched the Share the Word campaign last Monday in Atlanta. And in Chicago (Kmart, 4101 W. 95th Street, Oak Lawn) on Feb. 27 celebrity hair stylist to the stars Johnny Wright will bring the expertise he’s gained through work with his A-list clientele. Wright will offer his favorite healthy hair tips, provide hair assessments and make suggestions to Kmart customers.

Discovering the Real John Henry + a Review of the TwitterPeek
Ain’t Nothing but a Man: My Quest to Find the Real John Henry by Scott Reynolds Nelson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Even though Ain’t Nothing But A Man: My Quest to Find the Real John Henry is a children’s book I had a real problem putting it down. That is certainly not to say the content will fly over the head of children. Rather, the content is so stellar it will keeps kids and adults alike riveted to the pages as the author recounts his quest to find the real John Henry. Read more after the jump.
TECH
On Christmas Eve I decided to take my TwitterPeek with me when I went shopping to see how it worked. I received the TwitterPeek to review and I wanted to take it out into the field, so to speak.
The TwitterPeek is a device that allows you to mobile tweet only. You can’t check your email and you cannot surf the Net. The only function of the TwitterPeek is to use Twitter.
Although I had some initial problems with it because apparently you can’t use the same email as the one that’s synched to your Peek ( if you have one), the TwitterPeek proved to be a great device, especially for those who can’t tweet from their phone.
The TwitterPeek allows you to see tweets come in, respond to tweets, write your own tweets and see your @ mentions. Additionally you can see images that people upload into their Twitter stream and read links.
