Over the years Facebook has come a long way. It began in the early 2000s as a social networking site for college students to interact. 17 years later it maintains its top spot among social media outlets with its 2.7 billion active users. These days it is used for a lot more than posting status updates and tagging friends in embarrassing photos. In 2016 Facebook shifted its focus toward marketing their groups. If you have a hobby, goal or business chances are there’s a Facebook group out there to connect you with thousands of like-minded people from around the world. Here’s why you should be joining Facebook groups.

A few days ago I did a wash and go using Cantu hair products. Cantu is one of those brands that you see everywhere you go. Target, Walmart, drugstores and beauty supply stores have carried this brand from the beginning of the Natural Hair wave. I have to admit that I never gave them a thorough try. I found other brands that worked for me early on and stuck to them. So the other day while I roamed the aisles of Target Cantu’s orange containers caught my eye and the last thing I remember is cruising through self check-out with 6 of their items.
