We have died and gone to sneaker heaven…and it’s a beautiful thing. We are currently obsessing over the Giuseppe Zanotti Chain Up London Sneakers because they are lush, plush and making us blush. Everyone else can keep their strings, these shoes are laced up with gold chains baby! Mr. T could eat his heart out over these sick sneakers and still not be satisfied. These shoes deserve their own selfie in the Sneaker Hall of Fame…which we have just decided to start due to these puppies. Therefore, in behalf of these stylish and uber cool shoes…welcome to the S.H.O.F.

The texture of our hair does not make it stronger, it still needs protection and the infusion of natural oils and hydration to remain healthy and durable. Using the right products will help you to grow your hair and keep it flourishing.

Hair Quickie: It is a good habit to brush hair every night from root to ends in order to promote growth by stimulating the scalp as well as give tresses a healthy sheen. Locks will look more luminous due to the distribution of natural oils throughout the shaft caused by the brushing action.
