“Fashion is a tool…to compete in life outside the home. People like you better, without knowing why, because people always react well to a person they like the looks of.”

The eyes are the windows to the soul and have the power to mesmerize and dazzle those who peer into them. Keep them in top notch shape by using eye creams in the morning or evening. Here are four top reasons why eye creams should be added to your beauty routine.
1. Helps to de-puff eye bags
2. Provides hydration which makes concealer application smoother
3. Decreases the appearance of dark circles
4. The extra moisture helps prevent wrinkles

“I fall into that nebulous, quote-unquote, normal American woman size that legions of fashion stylists detest. For the record, I’m a size 8- this week, anyway. Many stylists hate that size because I think to them, it shows that I lack the discipline to be an ascetic; or the confident, sassy abandon to be a total fatty hedonist.”

We have talked a lot about the use of natural products when it comes to skin as well as haircare. There is a reason why our grannies used shea butter and passed the torch and beauty tip down to us. Shea butter is an all natural product that comes with numerous benefits.
Shea Butter has natural antibacterial properties that make it great for preventing stretch marks, wound healing and it can also be used as an anti-aging treatment for skin. With so many products on the market right now that are chalk full of chemicals that can irritate our skin, shea butter is a refreshing alternative. Nevertheless, do not just think that this jewel of nature can only do wonders for your skin. Shea butter also can work its magic on your hair, but we’ll discuss more on that in a future post.

We are living in the age of the selfie so it is important that all T’s are crossed and I’s are dotted. Everyone has there own style when taking a pic for the Gram, FB, Snapchat or Twitter; but, one thing for sure is that we all want to look perfect. From our heads to our toes we must sparkle and shine like a superstar.
Speaking of sparkle…is your smile gleaming and beaming like it should? Coffee and various foods can leave teeth stained causing them to look yellow or dingy. Shine your pearly whites on up by applying a little baking soda right on your toothbrush and then brush your teeth like normal. Doing so will help whiten your teeth restoring them back to their old glamorous look.
The one thing as a young black woman that you have probably heard or are currently hearing is… don’t cut your hair, it may not grow back. It is a wide spread notion that black hair simply does not grow or if you do have length and you lose it that its gone forever. There is one thing that I have discovered throughout my continuous hair journey and that is everything you know about black hair is a myth.
You don’t need a perm or chemicals to control your tresses. It is not necessary to do a big chop when growing out a relaxer. Moreover, if you want longer hair it is achievable. Black hair DOES grow and it IS amazing and gorgeous.
I have grown my hair out four times, down to my waist. From my YouTube videos many have asked me how I did it and I am happy to share tips I have picked up that may work for you too. I think thanks to the creation of social platforms black girls are finally able to gain knowledge on how to really work their beautiful strands. Knowledge is power and the more we share with each other the more growth we will experience in not just our hair but in all aspects of life.
Thoughts? I’m always all ears:)

We absolutely ADORE this look from the Peek & Cloppenburg spring/summer collection. Of course anything would look amazing on model Liya Kebede who poses for the 2015 campaign, but we still find that the entire ensemble is chic sophistication. This look showcases the whole “less is more” vibe by only incorporating a change in color with accessories i.e. the shoes and handbag. With everything so streamlined and relaxed the focus and emphasis really does get to be on design and tailoring.

“I’m definitely a vintage collector. I have a wardrobe of core basics that I like to spice up with different colors, new accessories, and I love to try on new things to invite something different. I find, with every new stage of my life, my self-image shifts with new duties and responsibilities, and so does my fashion style.”

One of our favorite models of all time is giving mad “face” for the spring/summer 2015 L’Oreal Paris Infallible collection ad campaign. Recently, Liya Kebede was named Global Brand Ambassador for L’Oreal cosmetics, skincare, and haircare lines. Moreover, solidifying her rank in the fashion, beauty and entertainment industries, Forbes named her one of the top fifteen highest earning models.
The ad campaign showcases L’Oreal’s long-lasting foundation that is said to last 24 hours. Liya’s gorgeous look for the campaign was brought together by hairstylist Stephane Lancien and MUA Charlotte Willer. The ad was lensed by celebrity, beauty and fashion photographer Kenneth Willardt.
