Hey everyone!

I gathered you all here today to ask for you help and support. I am one of the 100 semi-finalists for the Youtube Nextup Contest. (which is an amazing feat in and of itself) If i get into the top 50 people i move onto the next round.

ALSO I would be so grateful if you could tell your friends to vote as well.
Facebook It , Twitter It , Youtube It, Email It -- every vote counts!!

Now you may be wondering what is the Youtube Nextup Contest.
In short it's a contest for Youtube Partners with under 300,000 subcribers. Up to 25 winners will recieve $35,000, a trip to NYC to go to the Youtube Creators Camp and promotion on youtube (to help partners videos gain more views and revenue from their content)

The idea I pitched (which you can see in the video) is about giving downtrodden women makeup overs in Detroit AND helping them get back on their feet. I plan to do this through teaming up with local charities. Also to create the typle of videos I want to share I will need help from locals including models. Winning $35,000 and being able to increase my revenue share will make it possible for me to do these things.

Tonytko Shea Butter Delays

Mass Email Sent by Tonya Tko (tkoskin.com)


Subject: Shipping Delays.... Me Ranting along with Updates on New Product & Me!
Sent: Monday, March 7, 2011 7:46 PM


"Hello,
I'm sending out this message really quickly just to let you all know that there are massive shipping delays.

I have been trying to stay on top of everything but I cannot keep up with the demand for the product. I had a guy who was supposed to come in on Weds to press soaps, but he had some drama with his girlfriend, on facebook she wrote & told me she took over his facebook page, and broke his phone, and so he hasnt been able to call me for 3 weeks blah blah blah... do you see what I mean? All of that is none of my business & unnecessary.  Nonetheless he's fired. So I'm back to square one... well not really...

On Wed's Im going to a small business expo to meet with connections from the SBIDC. Also, the SBIDC is securing 2 interns for me. Apparently there are "Back to Work" programs for people who are in special programs and they have to finish a set number of internship hours to qualify for job placement. So this if GOOD for You & me.

First let me explain the SBIDC is the Southwest Brooklyn Industrial Development Corp. Its an organization which helps small businesses like me. They will help me get a biz plan, get gov't monies, tax exemptions, there's even a gov't program they're associated with which will PAY for the 1st four months of my employees' training. The best part about this is: We ALL have these types of agencies... when I was in the Bronx there was an org name SoBro (Which I knew NOTHING abt) So all of that time I worked from home I could have received aid, direction, awards, connections & monies for FREE... but I knew nothing about the agency. My connection at SBIDC is Bryan Barrett - Phone: 718-965-3100 ext. 106 call him up, say you were refer referred by (TonyaTko - Me) and ask what's the number to your local agency. They have them in every borough fr Queens - Long Island, and I'm sure they have them in other states as well. I've tried calling to get information about where to refer you all nationally, but they are getting ready for their big event on Weds, so no one is answering the phones. Try calling after thurs the 11th, or call next week after march 14th.

Back to the letter. I have to admit that I myself personally am having a hard time keeping up with the demand.

Right Now I: 
Hand-make all of the product, 
Answer all of the calls & emails,
Label all the bottles, boxes, jars & products
Call all vendors, securing recurring product & new trial
Monitor & control all inventory
Test all batches for quality
Maintain the merchant account, handling fraud, chargebacks, refunds, processing & order changes
Research & test new product
Counsel customers on their skin needs
Brainstorm, Experiment & Invent New products & recipes
Design & maintain the website
Design new product labels& Much more...
So, the main purpose of this letter is to beg you to Please bear with me. On Weds I need to go to the SBIDC event. On Thurs I have to meet with my rep from the IDC to talk about securing money.... and ....

Tomorrow I have to go down to clear our new shipment of Black Soap from Africa.
Our organic cane sugar JUST came in while I was typing this email. The vanilla will be cured in 4 more weeks, and THEN we will have our Coconut Complexion Polish!! 
I have to run some more test batches and then I need to get a half Ton of organic sugar (yes I said Half a TON). 
Re: The organic coconut complexion polish, I'm having problems with the test jars... the one which is the cutest sometimes leaks.The one which doesnt leak increases the product cost by $3.59 ea. 
The coco kisses lip balm is almost done. I just ordered some glycerin & lanolin to do some testing on a lip-pop-gloss. So we'll have the balm for softness & healing & the pop-gloss for show-offs like You & me who want to blind men to their knees!
I've been testing the Aphrodisiac chocoloate... its supposed to increase genital blood-flow, but it just increases Overall blood flow and it gives surges of super-powered energy. With the last batch, I ate 2 pieces and got flown into such energy I had to do 200 speed jump-ropes just to calm me (too much ginseng?)
The vendor with the lava-rocks increased the wholesale price by more than 300 %... so now I only have 33 lava rocks from my initial purchase and he's claiming he charged me the wrong price & wants to buy them back from me!
The fruit acid lotion is almost done, first it was too strong...then it was too weak... but I almost got the fruit acid down to a potent 10%... The Pink Grapefruit may be the one we're going with, citrus blend was too weak, and lemon was TOO strong... grapefruit is just right
The Razor Bump cream?: Im in stage 6 out of 10. Working on the essential oil fragrance for men. Once I do the test groups and get the fragrance & healing oils down pat, then I have to get a bottle & masculine label
Right now to get your product takes like 2 weeks. I just want you all to know that, every single moment of every day is spent doing something for you all. You are Always on my mind. And if it takes a while to get your product please know that I am working on it to the BEST of my ability. Each Bombshell pack has 7 items in it... so if I get 10 orders I have to make 70 products to fill those ten orders. Right now I have about 70 orders, and its just hard for me.

The moment I get the interns I will let you all know, and we can rejoice together... but until then, please bear with me. You all are still in the special bunch who get the products still hand-made by Me. There are pros & cons to that: Having it hand-made fresh takes time... its special... but it takes time, and the product is made fresh every week. Once its mass produced, there will need to be things added to aid in its stability & consistency - preservatives may also be needed.

This letter was just to touch base. I have to get back to the product. I'm making a batch of BBB (who's name is changing btw). I also want to do a sample batch of the coconut complexion polish since we got the new raw organic cane sugar in today. I also have the compact cases for the coco-kisses lip balm... theyre so Pretty! I have to work on labels. I am going to try to write you all later this week with a more professional letter... I just wanted to touch base

also... I might be doing a give-away soon. I've been talking so much about the coconut complexion polish, I might just throw one in your box for Free! You know what? That is a Doggone good idea. Let me work on this batch... wait a min... the vanilla is still kinda weak... it needs 4 more weeks... hmmmmn. I don't know... I'll holla back later this week... If i DO send you a sample complexion polish with your order, just know that the vanilla is only at half potency... its just for fragrance... the best part is the sugar scrub... let me think about this one

Once again, with all the Lovvvve I can squeeze into words!

Best Lace Wigs Review: SW080 1# Stock Lace Front Wig

Hey Ladies!


Bestlacewigs.com has the internet buzzing so I decided to take the plunge and let you guys know the skinny on the hair. After watching  Maiya Casino's video on it I couldn't resist.


I ordered the Lace Front Wig SW080 in Color #1.

View My Youtube Review Here:

SHIPPING

 I order was placed Friday and arrived today (Monday) -- ALL THE WAY FROM CHINA AND WITH FREE SHIPPING! I find that extremely impressive. Most online hair companies (even ones located in the US) take that long just to ship your order regardless of whether you pay for rush shipping or not. FREE AND QUICK SHIPPING ON ALL PRODUCTS easily puts them ahead of the online hair game.

PACKAGING

It comes nice and secure in the following packaging:

Box inside of ups bag.

Front of  Wig Box

 Back of Wig Box

Side View

 Side view 2

 Box Opened

Hair in plastic out of the box.

HAIR QUALITY

This hair is absolutely beautiful. It has a soft and silky texture. It's comparable to wigs I've spent $400-$700 on and it's true to it's claim -- SHED FREE! So not only is is a steal starting at $95 you also won't be looking at all your money in a brush after a week. The lace is in the front is so soft. Not you average Beauty Supply Store wig that has hard plastic-esque feel.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

I haven't had the need to contact them by phone but them have an excellent online chat system which I used to communicate with them. They answered all of my questions quickly. If you are ordering from the U.S. keep in mind they are in China and their hours are 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 a.m. eastern time.


I highly recommend this company and would purchase from them in the future. 
Have you tried their hair? If some leave a comment below and let me know how you experience went.

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque Review

Hey Everyone!

I was at Sally's recently and ran across the Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask. I'm no stranger to this product as I used it often while I was in High School. I can't recall why I stop using it but I do remember it working well. Back then I was all about "the next new thing." I was always trying new stuff and usually not allowing products a chance to work. Now that i'm a little older I realize that I won't see instant results.....well maybe.......

I cleansed my face with Shea Moistures Black Soap w/ Shea Butter and then applied the Mint Julep Masque. It has a refreshing tingle and pleasant minty scent. You can use it as a mask OR as a spot treatment. You can leave it on 15 minutes/until dry or over night. Personally I put it on during the day and kick back and relax with a magazine and then wash it off. Once it dries it will flake off with I why I wouldn't recommend sleeping with a full face of it on. Can you imagine the mess? *shudders*  

I have acne and this product does an excellent job of drying pesky pimples up. I will however add acne is the outward manifestation of inward issues such as diet ect. So this product will not "cure" it but it is nice to have something to help keep the unsightly pimples down while you work on diets and water intake. 

I highly recommend it. 2 thumbs up here :) Some complain that is is drying so make sure you follow up with a good moisturizer.  If it's still too drying try increasing the times in between applications. 

Luv you all!!!

Wonder Woman Mineralize Skinfinish  - Golden Lariat

Only for Wonder Woman! This jumbo-sized limited-edition Mineralize Skinfinish claims to feature TWO shimmer shades and ONLY ONE natural matte shade. In my honest opinion (which you will always get in on my blog and YouTube channel) they are all “shimmery” to a certain degree. The middle shade is not a high shimmer but it does have a soft sheen which I think is absolutely gorgeous. I honestly believe this palette is for wonder women – the everyday wonder woman. This is perfect for the mom on the go or the corporate mogul. This compact is a one stop shop for contouring, highlighting and adding a subtle hint of color.

Its overall impact is complemented by its glossy red/blue/yellow compact and comic book-style outer carton.

Wonder Woman Lipglass – Secret Identity

I am in L-O-V-E with this limited-edition jumbo-sized Lipglass! It is perfect for all skin tones but looks especially nice on the chocolate beauties. It is thick, as all the M.A.C lip are, and long lasting (which we love!) It’s a jumbo tube with a nice large applicator another reason why we love, love, love this gloss!

The packaging is super cute with its red cap, a screened WW logo on the vial and comic book-style carton.

Fix +

Fix plus is an aqua-spritz of vitamin and minerals, infused with a calm-the-skin blend of green tea, chamomile, cucumber, topped off with the fresh, natural, energizing scent of Sugi. Adds radiance, finishes makeup. Spray it on. Skin drinks it up. This is a summer must have! My most common use for this product is to make eye shadows more vibrant.

Mineralize Foundation SPF 15 – NW55

This is a rich, luxurious compact foundation offering a creamy application for a flawless, medium-buildable, naturally revitalized, fully dimensional finish.  It’s lightweight and silky to apply. It’s perfect for dry skin and is a great everyday  foundation.

Brush Cleanser

This one product will clean, disinfect and condition the brush fibers so that brushes will last longer. It is convenient to use and is specifically designed to extend the life of high quality brushes. Brush Cleanser leaves your brushes smelling fresh and clean. We spend invest a lot of money in out brushes so it’s just as important to keep them in top condition.

Venomous Villains Magically Cool Liquid Powder  - Cajun

It’s a silky, feather-light powder, formulated with 70% water, dusts on to the skin as a cooling mist to set and enhance the look of any foundation. Beyond sheer: light-reflecting and translucent. A virtually invisible way to add luminosity and a soft radiant glow to the skin. Limited edition.  This product is the perfect finishing touch to any look.

Thanks for reading! :)
