Hair Quickie: Always check the list of ingredients on the back of your hair products to avoid needlessly drying out your hair. Avoid products that contain alcohol or sulphur that can dry out your tresses leaving them damaged and brittle. Serums, gels, mousse and hair sprays may include such ingredients; therefore, avoid completely or keep your use of such products to a minimum.
Even though we are in 2014 plus size models still have a hard time in the fashion industry because they are being told they don’t fit the norm. However in the United States in 2013 72 percent of women wear sizes 12 and above even though the industry wants you to believe that is unacceptable.
A Perfect 14, directed and produced by Giovanna Morales and produced and directed and edited by James Earl O’Brien seeks to inform consumers and change perceptions by following three plus size models through their careers.
“This film explores the controversial term plus-size and the divisive influence it has on society by interviewing designers, photographers, standard models, agencies, magazine editors, industry leaders and plus-size pioneers in the meccas of the fashion world. It combines the stories of the models with an exploration of the largely ignored topic of weightism, one of the last acceptable types of discrimination. Interviewing experts in the field of fat studies and body image, the film also exposes the collective unconsciousness of size-based segregation. It also asks the question of the media’s responsibility in its single focus portrayal of thin role models and how it takes a heavy toll on the self confidence and body image of women.
A Perfect 14 will be released in 2014. Follow their facebook to stay up to date.

We always love to see celebrities collaborating with others for a very great cause. Case in point, actress Naomie Harris has designed a chic handbag for fashion powerhouse Fendi that will benefit charity. Harris created an off-white leather Peekaboo bag that features the continent of Africa in black and white stripes that reads, “Truth…Love…Freedom,” across the top.
This collector’s item will be part of a special Fendi charity project for Kids Company. The handbags will be sold through auction beginning on May 1st and extending to May 30th. Kids Company provides support to vulnerable inner-city children and young people.
For months now, Ciara has been a blonde who is having much fun preparing to be a mom. However, CiCi posted a picture for her adoring fans showcasing her new hair look, which she described as ‘wild.’ Ciara’s long and full beach-y waves are definitely on trend for this season and the highlights complement her skin tone very nicely. We always love how Ciara styles her locks, but this wild child look is definitely a keeper.
