Just about everyone else woke up to a less sparkling conclusion -- they weren't winners.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="" align="left" src="http://pure.janellebeauty.com/salon/img/userfiles/1358.jpg" style="margin: 0px 3px 0px 0px" width="250" />
<p>
As I walked the hilly streets of San Francisco, the blustering winds and the chill in the air made my breath catch in my throat. Trying to inhale the icy air into my lungs, my breath faltered again, this time due to the sights surrounding me. Everywhere I looked there were homeless men and women on the streets. Some of them had raggedy coats and jackets, some torn blankets, and some little more than a T-shirt. I looked at their craftily worded signs, more than just &ldquo;Hungry. Please help.&rdquo; There were all kinds of creative messages like &ldquo;spaceship broken, need parts.&rdquo;</p><br />
<p>
While tourists and locals alike were being mildly entertained by these signs, I couldn&rsquo;t help but wonder how and when the homeless problem in San Francisco had gotten so extreme that there was now an art to making a living on the streets.&nbsp;</p><br />
<p>
According to the State of Homelessness in America 2011 report released by the National Alliance to End Homelessness, higher homelessness in places like San Francisco, California, could be attributed to high rates of cost burden among poor households. &ldquo;California, Florida, and Nevada &ndash; states known to have been disproportionately impacted by the recent housing crisis &ndash; have both high rates of homelessness and high levels of unemployment, foreclosure, housing cost burden, lack of insurance, and doubling up.&rdquo;</p><br />
<p>
In fact, &ldquo;ten of the fourteen states with rates of homelessness greater than the national rate also have levels of cost burden greater than the national average.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p><br />
<p>
Of course, as I searched for answers regarding the problem in San Francisco, it became clear to me that the issue of homelessness exists not only in San Francisco, but on a much grander scale throughout the nation. In fact, according to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, &ldquo;half of all states have multiple risk factors for increased homelessness; that is, they have rates worse than the national average on at least two of five indicators (unemployment, foreclosure, doubled up, housing cost burden, lack of health insurance).</p><br />
<p>
On top of that, on a national level, it appears that the issue of homelessness is continuing to grow. &ldquo;The nation&rsquo;s homeless population increased by approximately 20,000 people from 2008 to 2009. In addition, a majority &ndash; 31 of 50 states and the District of Columbia &#8211; had increases in their homeless counts.&rdquo;</p><br />
<p>
It&rsquo;s clear that with recent economic factors such as rises in unemployment and increases in foreclosures, more and more people are finding themselves left out in the cold and with nowhere to go. When thinking about these statistics, I can&rsquo;t help but wonder about all the people who are on the verge of ending up in this situation as well, hanging on to their homes by a thread. How many people throughout the nation are living paycheck to paycheck? How many people are one unexpected financial crisis away from also finding themselves out on the street? Despite new programs offering government assistance, there are still literally thousands of people who need assistance and are not yet receiving any.</p><br />
<p>
As I ponder all of this and remember those urban city streets with all those people left out in the cold, I can&rsquo;t help but think to myself &ldquo;there but for the grace of God, go I.&rdquo; It reminds me to be grateful for what I have, and to express that gratitude by providing assistance to those in need when I can.&nbsp;</p><br />

<p>&quot;I ordered Diva Smooth a few months ago and I LOVE it. I tell everyone about it! I do have a relaxer and Its so hard to transition but DIVA SMOOTH has made my hair very healthy and promoted hair growth! Thank you!&quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>AMAZING</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars4.gif" />    <br />Sagine, NY</p><br />
<p>&quot;I have been perming my hair for 9 years and over the past 2 years I found that the perms were lasting less and less. Not only that, my hair was getting thinner and thinner even though it was long. After cutting my hair several times to bulk it up I realized I had to stop using that &quot;poison&quot; but I didn&#8217;t know how to do it without cutting off all my hair. Thank God Almighty I stumbled onto this site. You truly saved my life and my hair!! Only thing is I wish I could just walk into a store and buy it right off the shelf. I&#8217;m going to try the natural curl and embrace my curls (since I never thought my curls could be managed). This summer I have a secret weapon (&#8221;My Natural Curl&quot;), I no longer have to fear the heat and the after effects of the sweat that it brings to my SCALP. Yayy!!&quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>VERY PLEASED</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Kim W, Illinois    <br />&quot;I used the product on my 5 year old and the end result was awesome. It&#8217;s been 3 days and her hair is still shiny and bouncy. The dripping and stickiness drove me and her crazy but it was well worth it.&quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>AMAZING</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Nikkia, Michigan    <br />&quot;I just love this product my hair was easy to blow dry and flat iron. Please don&#8217;t change the formula you have a long time customer!!!&quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>FREE AT LAST</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Elle, WV    <br />&quot;I absolutely love the results that I received by using the Diva Smooth products. I especially love the Coconut Serum. It smells so tropical and it seals the hair well to prevent breakage. I&#8217;ve also noticed that since I&#8217;ve stopped using relaxers over a year ago&#8230;my hair is finally at that healthy stage that it used to be in before all of the damage that relaxers caused. Free at last, free at last&#8230;.my natural hair is free at last! &quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>VERY EXCITING</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Melshara, Maine, USA</p><br />
<p>&quot;I applied Diva smooth last night and I am very pleased and excited by the results. I hope that I never find out that Janelle Beauty is no longer in existence! Just like a previous post, I would like the bottles to come bigger! I will definitedly continue to purchase this product.&quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>WOW!!</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Kimberly, MI</p><br />
<p>&quot;I received my Diva Smooth just after the New Year. I have been natural for 4 years. My hair has grown to the middle of my back and I wanted to wear my hair in a straight style. I followed the instructions for applying the Diva Smooth. I did not blow dry my hair as it is so thick and long. I braided it and let it air dry. Then I flat ironed my hair and it was so soft and smooth I couldn&#8217;t believe it. My daughter kept touching my hair saying it is so soft. Even when my hair is not flat ironed it is very soft. My daughter is using Diva Smooth now too. Thank you for a great product that actually does what it says it will do. I wish it came in a larger size. I LOVE DIVA SMOOTH!!!&quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>AMZING!</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Maya, Wilmington,DE</p><br />
<p>&quot;OMG, I ordered Diva Smooth last week and received my order last night. I immediately tore the box open and headed to the bathroom and started applying the product. I knew it was coming because I had tracked it all day! lol. Now it was sticky as heck to apply and it dripped like crazy while the cap was on. HOWEVER once I washed it out my hair was so soft and once I used the blow dryer it started to get really straight. The ultimate is after I applied the coconut serum and the heat. My hair was so silky and straight! i was so amazed because usually things don&#8217;t work on my hair. I have very very thick hair and I am in the middle of growing the perm out of my hair to go natural. I should have had this long ago and I would have stop getting perms. My husband even said Baby your hair is BEAUTIFUL!! I am a fan of this and I just ordered 2 more bottles! I wish they came in bigger bottles, but will just keep getting them. Love it!&quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>BEST THING FOR THE HAIR</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Priscillia, CT</p><br />
<p>&quot;It does what it says, unlike most hair products.&quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>OMG!!!!!</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Alma, Maryland</p><br />
<p>&quot;I am in LOVE!!! I used Diva Smooth for the first time last week. My daughter and I have been trying to go natural for some time. We&#8217;ve had so much breakage I thought I was going to have cut off all our hair then I read blog and these women were raving about this product called Diva Smooth and how it was all natural and how it really worked. That got me so excited I decided that day we were going to try it. I went to the a Salon I found on the Janelle Beauty website. now mind you I had just spent two days removing braids and glue from my hair so my scalp was more tender than usual. My stylist applied the product which I have to admit was a sticky mess but after she washed my hair I was FLOORED! She took a fine tooth comb while my hair was wet and parted into for sections and platted it, now normally this would have sent me running for the door but it didn&#8217;t hurt the hair wasn&#8217;t tangled or anything. The style came out amazing and my daughter and my hair looks healthier than ever. As a matter of fact a woman came in while we were getting our hair done just to see the process and she scheduled her appointment for the next day. The only complaint I have is not being able to find the product easily and that I can&#8217;t use the use the Virgin Coconut Serum on my hair daily. Is there a product in this line that I can use for dry scalp, trust me I will buy it. Diva Smooth is my product now. Thank you. &quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>AMAZING</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Mary, Louisiana</p><br />
<p>&quot;I am so sold on this product. My hair was very dry, brittle, thinning, shedding, and dull. I stumbled across this website by typing in transitioning from chemical to natural hair products. When I read all about Diva Smooth I thought, this has got to be it. Besides what have I got to lose; I&#8217;ve already tried just about everything I can afford. Every time someone told me to try this or try that, I would go out and buy it. When I put this product on my hair (the very first use)I have to admit it was very messy but smelled great; not to mention my face, neck, everything was just sticky. But when I washed it out, blow dried it and started to apply the virgin coconut serum; my hair shined immediately and was very straight. When I finished my hair, I could not believe my eyes. It had a healthy looking sheen, it smelled great, it looked very healthy and was full of body. As a matter of fact it looked so much better than permed hair. So I&#8217;d like to say to all of my sisters out there struggling with your hair: to try Diva Smooth. It really works. If my first application looks like this, I can&#8217;t wait for the next one. And I have that kind of &quot;Back to Africa&quot; hair (you know &#8211; kinky). But this product tamed it well. My friends and family teased me because they thought I had gone back to perms; but I have the empty bottles, and printed the product information and carry it around with me in my purse. So I would like to thank you Sister Janelle for an amazing breakthrough in hair.&quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>THANK YOU!!!!!</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Mel, Katy, Tx.</p><br />
<p>&quot;I have been natural for 2 years. But my hair was still breaking getting tangled. And its frustrating to have no choice but to go natural but do i have to look like crap too!? I had been eyeing this product for a full year. I read all the reviews, all the frequently asked questions, finally i got on it. I tried it It comes highly recommended in my book. I have 4a hair type. but my hair now feels and look like 3c maybe. It is very manageable, there is very little breakage. Which i expected since i already had breakage, but it was little any way. The first week i flat ironed my hair, diva smooth bought sexy back. This week i have gone back to my curl and still have minimum breakage and manageable hair. I will be sticking to this product. My Mom who hates to see my hair looking all country, talked about my new look for days, and is going to try it herself.&quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>AMAZING</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />APRIL, PA/USA</p><br />
<p>&quot;I have been using a chemical perms in my hair since I was in first grade (thanks mom!) lol. I actually have a good grade of hair so perms made my hair way too straight &amp; flat. I usually have to perm my hair twice a year and maybe color it once. Needless to say it was taking a toll on my hair. The front of my hair was breaking off and balding…not a good look! My sister is a hairstylist and she heard about Diva Smooth from one of her clients. I researched the product and found a lot of positive feedback. I purchased it probably a month ago and I love it! It made my hair straight but not bone straight. It has bounce and volume! The ends of my hair are usually dry after washing but not this time. I am super pleased with this product! There are two negatives through…the shipping was super slow and I had to follow-up with customer service a few times before my product was shipped. After a few times of complaining, they say that it is made to order but people need their hair done like yesterday so I was impatiently waiting by the mailbox. I almost broke down and bought a perm. I’m glad I waited!!! In addition, the product is very messy and it drips everywhere. The positives outweigh the negatives. THIS PRODUCT IS GREAT!!! &quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>AMAZING</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Dawnice, Wisconsin</p><br />
<p>&quot;I went to Vegas after this product was applied. Temp in Vegas 106-114. I didn&#8217;t flat iron my hair NOT 1 time/NO FRIZZ at all (my mother was amazed). Smooth, soft, shiny hair. I&#8217;ve been natural 5 yrs and have tried everything. This product is a miracle. God Bless You &quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>100 STARS!!!</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Tommie, VA, USA</p><br />
<p>&quot;I had just about given up on my hair. It was breaking and falling out to the point that I thought I would end up bald because nothing seemed to help. Then along came this product! THANK GOD!!! I tried it once and my hair is alive again! No kidding, no B.S.!!! My hair feels like hair again instead of straw. I think this will make a wonderful gift for both my sisters as they too struggle with their hair. I am so impressed that I am going to get rid of all the other products I just bought even though they cost a lot of money and they are brand new! I am now going to place another order for more serum and the Diva Smooth as well. YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS PURCHASE. Maybe I can finally grow my hair out again. Wish me luck! &quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>I LOVE THIS PRODUCT</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Norma, Norfolk,VA</p><br />
<p>&quot;Every time I use this product my hair looks so radiant.So full of life and so healthy. I can not be more happy with my hair.I decided to get relaxers maybe every 3 to 4 months. But I&#8217;m going to treat my hair with DIVA SMOOTH every 4 weeks.My hair is not that kinky but since I work at a Beauty Salon.I wash it, set it and then flat iron just the roots and is perfect and I don&#8217;t have to get relaxers that often.Because I&#8217;m trying to go chemical free, but is going to take some time.I been using DIVA SMOOTH for a month now and I&#8217;ll tell you what, I will use and recommend DIVA SMOOTH for the rest of my life is the best product ever for my hair. &quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>WOW!</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Ina, California</p><br />
<p>&quot;I get a relaxer once, maybe twice a year. My hair is healthy and I want to keep it that way so I&#8217;d love to get rid of chemicals altogether. I had reservations about using this product because I air-dry my hair (I hate heat products for what they do to hair, so I wasn&#8217;t about to use a flat-iron). Still, I tried it Diva Smooth based on the few testimonials I could find online and&#8230; WOW! My hair texture did not change but it is so moisturized after it dried. I can&#8217;t stop looking at myself in the mirror. Even dry patches of hair (mostly towards the back of my head) are silky smooth, shiny and full of body. I&#8217;m excited and will definitely use this natural product again, as I hear hair gets better with the use of Diva Smooth over time. My hair is stronger, fuller and very touch-able. I can see my hair getting stronger, healthier and longer using this product. I&#8217;m very happy with it.&quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>YOU GO DIVA SMOOTH!!!</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Saneada, new jersey</p><br />
<p>&quot;I just purchased Diva Smooth about two weeks ago and I could&#8217;t be more satisfied!Janelle thank you so much!I stopped relaxing my hair about three years ago and when I tell you that my is very kinky. I&#8217;m talking Kunta Kinky, but I love it though:)! I just needed something that would help me to manage my hair better and achieve the straight look when I wanted it. Diva Smooth is the best!! I have to admit I was very skeptical at first but I decided to take a chance and I&#8217;m glad I did. Since then I have been recommending it to everybody!! Finally an natural product that really works!!! So natural it taste like pure honey (now I don&#8217;t recommend eating it) but I do say to anyone who is thinking about trying Diva Smooth please do you will not be disappointed! Janelle thanks again girl!! MUUUAAAH:) &quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>DIVA SMOOTH IS AWESOME!</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Monique Tatum, VA, USA</p><br />
<p>&quot;Diva smooth is awesome! I loved in on my first application and I am about to buy 2 more so I will have them on hand. My hair is very course and kinky and it worked like magic. Diva Smooth, where have you been all my life!&quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>GREAT PRODUCT</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Fran, VA</p><br />
<p>&quot;I just used Diva Smooth on my hair tonight and i must say the product lived up to its name. i had been eyeing the product for over 2 months before i ordered it..it was well worth the wait. i have natural hair (took my locs out 2 yrs ago). i was getting frustrated because i like to wear it kinky and straight but takes alot to get straight. i usually sit wash, roller set then flat iron..now all i used was diva smooth and it worked great. my hair is so straight! i love it! a few friends who are going natural asked me to let them know how it does before they try it&#8230;i cannot wait to text them in the morning and tell them to get there order in. i really am excited to see how long it last. when i usually straighten my hair i get a lot of dandruff in about 2 to 3 days from using the pink glosser by luster to flat iron my hair plus the coconut serum did not smoke up the bathroom..it was so smooth and i didn&#8217;t have to continue to go over my hair with the flat iron. it was straight with one stroke. amazing. i love it.&quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>GREAT &amp; SAFE!</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars4.gif" />    <br />Terry, VA, USA</p><br />
<p>&quot;This is the first product that I feel safe putting in my hair. All of the ingredients are natural and aren&#8217;t harsh. Also the Shine serum smells like flowers. I only used a small amount and my husband loved the smell. I have not yet put any heat in my hair but I notice a difference in my hair after shampooing. I am also located in VA. I&#8217;ll probably drive to one of the salons to get my next batch. Thanks DIVA SMOOTH!!&quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>THE BEST</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Kimberly, Texas</p><br />
<p>&quot; I am in a transition from perm to natural. I started back in the last part of October of last year. I had my first experience with Diva Smooth last New Years Eve . I actually went to the salon to have it done they charged $65. I watched the stylist and decided I could do that my self , so I ordered the product from Janelle Beauty online. It was easy it takes time but it is truly worth it. I have applied it every 6 weeks(I stretch it).My hair is manageable and shining and it is really growing. I will continue to use the product. I love it!&quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>VERY SATISFIED</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Kenyondra, Virginia</p><br />
<p>&quot;I have to admit I wasn&#8217;t optimistic about these products. Especially after rinsing out the Diva Smooth, and drying my hair. It looked completely dry &amp; stripped. However, after applying the serum and flat iron to only one section I was relieved! It was as if it brought my hair back to life. I&#8217;m about 2 weeks from my usual touch up with a relaxer. I won&#8217;t be using it though. I probably won&#8217;t ever use it again. With these results, who needs to? This is the way I always wanted the relaxer to make my hair look &amp; feel. It&#8217;s so soft &amp; shiny. I&#8217;ve always had length past my shoulders, but my hair was so dry &amp; unhealthy. I hated it. Even the application process will make you wonder why you used such smelly, harsh, and painful chemicals in the first place. I was afraid I might be one of those that get the best results after a few applications. However, I&#8217;m satisfied already, and I can&#8217;t wait to see if it gets better as I go. &quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>AWESOME PRODUCT!!!</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Nikole, Washington </p><br />
<p>&quot;I stopped perming my hair so I kept it in braids for about a year but I was getting sick of braids. I found Diva Smooth by accident when I was trying to find natural hair treatments online. After reading the reviews I gave it a try and I have been using it ever since. I live in a climate with a lot of rain so I was worried because I didn&#8217;t have a perm, but I worry no more. My hair is smooth, fuller, healthy and shiny. And it even manages in the rain. I love this product and I tell everyone about it, it is a life saver.&quot;</p><br />
<p><strong>DIVA SMOOTH</strong>    <br /><img src="http://www.janellebeauty.com/shop/images/misc/vpasp_stars5.gif" />    <br />Rhonda, TX</p><br />
<p>&quot;Used Diva Smooth for the first time this morning-I am amazed at how soft and manageable my hair is. My hair looks very healthy. I was totally shocked when I finished shampooing my hair and looking at my hair. I will most definitely order all of the products&quot;</p><br />

Even as a professional journalist I would have to agree with the masses that things in the Nation’s capital have seemed dysfunctional at best. The debt debate went on so long that I actually found myself trying to explain it to my 6 year old. She doesn’t even know her social security number and I was trying to talk her through what would happen if folks didn’t receive their social security benefits. </p><br />
<p>But as the wheels seemed to grind to a stop in DC, in Columbia SC someone was oiling the turbines of change. In the Capital City in the state of South Carolina it looks like commons sense has stepped right over the red tape and made a decision that’s going to make a difference in the lives of city employees, and more importantly –their children. By simply offering a 2 hour delay for parents so that they could take their kids to school on the 1<sup>st</sup> day.</p><br />
<p>It actually seemed “way too common sense” to actually work. I’ll be honest with you, I was waiting for an 11<sup>th</sup> hour reversal from Mayor Steve Benjamin based on the: to be expected protest and online campaigning that we’ve all grown use to when it comes to handling private issues in the public.</p><br />
<p>But maybe that’s the issue, maybe education and building a better family is not a private issue… maybe someone has realized that it really does take a village. And believe it or not, when Mom and Dad know that their child is safe in his/her classroom and feeling confident about the learning experiences ahead of them it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy that leads to success.</p><br />
<p>There’s nothing like a kiss on the cheek or pat on the head from Mom saying, be good, have a great day, I love you. There’s especially nothing like getting it on the first day of school when you’re scared beyond belief about what‘s ahead for the new year. This is a critical day and it’s made better because of family involvement.</p><br />
<p>Please, let me see the hands of everyone who has had a less than productive day at work, because you were worried about your child? Just what I thought, everyone reading this that is a working parent – has their hand in the air. No, I’m not peaking at you through a secret web cam…I just know it’s true, because I’ve been there.</p><br />
<p>But here’s what really stands out for me… in a state where unemployment stands at 10%, the City Council and all involved in making this decision realized, no one should be worried about loosing their job because they want to be a good parent. Someone managed to realize that good parents make good employees because we’re vested in the community.</p><br />
<p>I stand with the Mayor of the Capital City of SC and ask other businesses to step forward and realize by allowing your employee to be an active participant in their child’s education your not loosing production hours, instead, what you’ve invested something into your employee’s life that they will never be able to get via email, conference call or in a board room.</p><br />
