Well well well, hello there beautiful! You can feel sexy by the clothes you wear, the way you style your hair and by the fragrance you spritz.

Application Tip: Enjoy your favorite scent longer by applying your fragrance after your shower. Skin absorbs more after it is wet.
We have been spotting this fab hairstyle a lot lately on the streets. Fashionistas are sporting long, thin French braids that even go beyond waist length. This style is great for protection and perfect for on-the-go ladies looking for an easy to maintain style.
Pretty Keri Hilson rocked her version of the look and even showed it off on the Gram. Hilson’s braids added a little more oomph to this hair trend by incorporating purple tips. We absolutely love it, it’s a very subtle addition that allows you to showcase your wild side.
Our phone lines have been ringing busy for our beauty of the night so we decided to give this gorgeous lady a call. Many have loved her since the days of ATL and she still looks as fabulous as ever. You have probably already guessed it, but we have dialed up Lauren London!
It is always tough narrowing down our favorite looks for our spotlighted beauties and tonight proved to be no different. However, we love Lauren’s bold lip colors and nude face makeup looks which celebrity makeup artist AJ Crimson is making possible with his new line of cosmetics. Talented, beautiful and very stylish London makes a perfect beauty call.

Holly Holly Holly! Mrs. Peete looked stunning in a Michael Costello creation as she attended Hollyrod Foundation’s 16th Annual DesignCare 2014. Holly’s black satin gown with plunging neckline scored ohs and ahs from all in attendance. Proceeds from this great cause and event will go to the Hollyrod Foundation, which helps families living with Autism and Parkinson’s Disease.
Peete posed it out like a supermodel on the red carpet and even snapped a pic with DeWayne Wade. Costello is definitely having an amazing year his designs are heavily sought after by divas from around the globe. Be sure to check out the exclusive interview we had with Michael regarding his fashions on our 1966 Magazine Youtube Channel (just scroll to the bottom of this page).
One common mistake many women make when relaxing their hair is not removing the chemicals from their tresses properly. Letting such harsh elements remain in and on your locks could result in damage. After chemically treating your hair you must neutralize it to stop the process from continuing.
It is very important to remove all of the relaxer from your locks to avoid causing hair breakage. Pay special attention to the neck and nape areas. How often should you wait to perform your next perm treatment? Unless you have a shorter hair length you should wait between 6-12 weeks before receiving your next relaxer.
Beauty Quickie: This myth is actually true…burying your face in your pillow may not be the best idea. Sleeping on your side for extended amounts of time can cause wrinkles to form around your peepers prematurely. So if you are trying to get your hands on the fountain of youth you can start by sleeping on your back. It may feel funny at first, but trust your face will literally thank you later.
Fitness Quickie: The results are in, getting just 25 minutes of exercise a day can help make your heart stronger, increase your energy and help you sleep more soundly. Besides being able to get great beauty sleep exercise increases your blood circulation so that your skin is fed oxygen giving you a healthy glow and complexion. Take the challenge, workout out for 25 minutes daily and see the benefits!
Beauty Quickie: Do not over clean or wash your face. If you completely strip your skin of all nutrients you run the risk of developing dryness and irritation. Maintaining your skin’s natural oils are actually beneficial for having great skin. It is your skin’s natural oils that can help combat acne as well as premature aging. When purchasing a facial cleanser always shop for one that is PH based.
