Brixton Trip

After shopping around for make up and hair products with no success, my friend Adenike and I decided to go to Brixton to see if we could find some stuff. Since we have become "Londoners" we knew how to get there so that was no stress at all. Well I remember Sly and Wayne had stopped by on the way from the airport when they picked me up so I got a glimpse of what it was like. (Dont worry, cable on the way and will upload pics shortly).

We came out the tube at the Brixton underground and made our way to the market. P.S. Market in London is a different concept from what we know in Jamaica. In London markets you get everything not just ground provisions! I think the main difference between a store and a market is London is that the prices in the market are way cheaper!

My gosh, you don't miss Downtown Kingston and add the music to it!!! Needless to say we saw some beauty shops with products for "Afro Americans." We were happy!! So I got my texturizer and Soft Sheen Carson Let's Jam and Ade got her Dark n Lovely Kit (I will be processing her hair weekend, so if she comes back to Jamaica bald...HMM)!!

I needed razor blades to do my eyebrows so when I went up to the cashier I asked and he said and I gladly took it. So then I asked him how much for it and he replied 6.99. I quipped you mad and of course he said he was joking is 99p. I think that Indian man is shady and I will not go back there as when he added everything up he told me £11.99 and I took the things out the bag as the price sounded too high and he "claimed" he made a mistake by cashing the razor blades too time. Yeah right.

Anyways, that's it for now!
