Natural Beauty: Drink Coconut Water for Beautiful Skin

Healthy skin is always the result of proper hydration. Nevertheless, most girls simply do not take in enough fluids. Therefore, break the cycle and give your skin the moisture it needs by consuming a nice size glass of unsweetened coconut water every single morning.

Coconut water is such a great tool in our natural beauty arsenal because of its numerous benefits. For one, it is chalk full of nutrients such as: potassium, Vitamin C, magnesium as well calcium. Moreover, coconut water also has anti-aging properties. Coconut water contains an anti-microbial known as lauric acid. This acid is capable of protecting skin against infection and helping to bring inflammation under control.

Lastly, coconut water is super low calorie option. One cup will only cost you about 44 calories. Plus, by drinking it you will not only help your skin, but will make your hair stronger too! More on that in an upcoming Hair Quickie.

Nevertheless, there are other things you can consume other than coconut water to hydrate your skin. At mealtime enjoy some olives, salmon, avocado and of course, coconut. These are all skin hydrating foods that will help make your skin healthier and more luminous.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 27, 2017May 26, 2017Leave a Comment

Rihanna just seems to know how to speak fashion as well as lazy comfort. The iconic stylish risk taker has not yet failed in any of her shoe designs. From the constantly needing to be restocked Creepers to her Slides every last shoe has sold out. With a track record like that it is safe to say another best seller is here! Get ready to slide into summer with the Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides from the Spring / Summer 2017 Collection.

Fashionable Mention: Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides Spring / Summer 2017

The Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides are part child nostalgia and part ingenious design. Especially, when it comes to us girls. Yes, we love to torture our peds and ankles with heels that resemble medieval torture devices. However, at other times we just want a comfortable shoe to slide into and call it a day.

Case in point, the wild popularity of the UGG boot. Easy to put on, and a true gift from heaven for any relaxed, sweatpants/cramps from H-E double hockey sticks day. Jellies fall right into this wonderful category.

Fenty x Puma helped stir up even more excitement about the new jelly slides stating, “Introducing a new slide to the Fenty x Puma by Rihanna Collection. The Jelly Slide features a Puma logo on a textured, all over Jelly Strap and a whimsical diamond pattern outside.”

So far consumers who have purchased the jellies say that they love them. However, we have to agree it is a little fashionably depressing over the limited amount of colors available. So far you can get a pair in blue, black or pink.

Nevertheless, if the Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides sell well we are sure Rih with hit us with a round too of additional hues. So then, hang in there more is probably on the way. For now cop yourself a pair now for $90.

The Verdict: Girl we do not blame you for wanting this fit! Kelly’s two piece set is gorgeous. As you may know Rowland’s ensemble is by Bombchel. The set is an instant hit ever since Kelly rocked it for the Carter push party which had an African theme.

Moreover, the look is so popular now that the fashion brand that makes it, renamed it!

However, if shopping at www.shopbombchel.com you will see it listed as Kelly Rowland’s Custom Two Piece Set because of it’s popularity. The set retails for $250.

Here’s a bit of a warning though. If you truly want this set you better act fast! Bombchel only has a very limited supply of this outfit left for sale. Hope that answered your fashion question!

Black Hairstyles: Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for Cannes 2017 Film Festival

Arianne Suggs May 26, 2017May 26, 2017Leave a Comment

Princess hair! Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for the Cannes 2017 Film Festival is elegant, sleek and tantalizing sophisticated. If you are looking for formal hair inspiration you just found it!

Black Hairstyles: Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for Cannes 2017 Film Festival

Jasmine Sanders aka Golden Barbie attended the ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer” red carpet event. Her luxurious blue floor length gown is by designer Ulyana Sergeenko, who has been a very popular choice this year at Cannes.

Sanders’ strands were pulled back into a beautiful braided bun. If recreating this look at home remember that the smoother you can get your hair in the front to lay, the more dramatic the braided chignon will look. Get tresses to submit by smoothing them with a pomade, gel (alcohol free) or edge control product. Next, spritz hairs with a light holding spray in order to make the hairstyle remain in place. Lastly, mist the style with a hair oil to give this hair look luminous sheen that will pop in any photo!

Beauty Notes: Jasmine’s hair is exquisite but we have to holler YASSS over her makeup look as well! L’Oreal makeup kindly shared the details on how Sanders look came together. The brand says that Jasmine’s makeup is all about keeping it natural. The “au natural” vibe is coming back en vogue in full force.

Therefore, to stay on trend for the season it is not about heavy contour. Just good old enhancement of your natural features. So want to give Jasmine’s look a spin? Here is the L’Oreal product cheat sheet!

Color Riche Les Ombres in Marron Glace
Lip Paint in Nudists – 209 – Nude on Fleek
Brow Xpert
Paradise Mascara

Arianne Suggs May 25, 2017May 25, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: The Ulyana Sergeenko Jacket worn by singer and television judge Alicia Keys during The Voice finale.

You asked: Not sure if you got my other message. There are two different things I am looking for. But the first one is a black jacket I saw on Alicia Keys. In the photo I saw it’s sleeves were BIG. Like eighties big and I love it! Who makes that? Thank you 1966!

Ask and Tell : Alicia Keys Ulyana Sergeenko Jacket for The Voice Finale

The Verdict: Thanks for writing us love and we know exactly what jacket you are talking about! The jacket made a big splash during the live finale of The Voice which is episode 1219A. Alicia pulls out all the stops in the episode by not just sitting in the judge’s chair, but also performing. She croons and belts out ‘Diamonds and Pearls’ with Chris Blue.

Nevertheless, Alicia’s fashion was as beautiful as her melodic voice. The very stylish jacket in question is a design by Ulyana Sergeenko. The black Ulyana Sergeenko jacket features an extremely sexy plunge neckline before it closes near the waistline. Moreover, as mentioned it also incorporates very dramatic sleeves as well as a peplum style fit. The cap sleeves help to make Alicia Key’s overall ensemble even more diva. While the peplum’s shape helps to balance the hips and create a very sleek and chic silhouette.

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

The Item: The skirt of Model Winnie Harlow Wearing Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017.

You Asked: Black girl magic is all over Cannes. I love Winnie Harlow’s purple skirt from Cannes. Was so pretty! Wondering how much something like that cost? I get my bonus soon haha

Ask and Tell: Model Winnie Harlow Wearing Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017

The Verdict: Purple reign… purple reign! Thanks for the question! Actually we have been majorly fan girling over Winnie’s high-end outfit as well. Every last garment Harlow has put on during her stint at the Cannes Film Festival has been a winner!

The purple and black look Winnie is rocking is from the Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017 RTW (Ready to Wear) collection. Winnie’s as well as the catwalk look worn by the model in the runway show is identical.

Nevertheless, the big question of the hour is how much does this stylish ensemble cost? To be honest for most adding this skirt to their closet is going to be quite the splurge. The Alberta Ferretti skirt retails for a whopping $1, 905. However, we are sure buying such a well-made luxury item will last you a very long time. So then, enjoy your purchase you can find it at Farfetch.

Simply Beautiful Skin: Why Consume Almonds For Breakfast

Arianne Suggs May 24, 2017May 24, 2017Leave a Comment

Beauty Quickie: Does your skin need to send up a prayer on Sundays because it is in need of some saving? Well after this quickie tip it may utter a jubilant, “Amen!” Most girls want simply beautiful skin but don’t know how to go about it in a more “natural” fashion. Thinking natural is important because so many skincare products use very unnecessary ingredients or just do not do as advertised.

Simply Beautiful Skin: Why Consume Almonds For Breakfast

Therefore, it’s time not to think so much on using only products, but concentrating on fixing skincare issues by working from the inside out. Every heard someone say, “You are what you eat?” It is a very true statement. Whatever, you eat will manifest itself in your physical appearance and this is true especially with skincare.

We were having a beauty chat with a few of our dermatologist buddies and they recommended eating almonds at breakfast time. Why? Almonds possess essential fatty acids that have the ability to combat skincare woes such as: blotchiness, sagginess, inflammation and fine lines. Therefore, starting off your day with a few nuts is an excellent method for giving your skin a nice helpful dose of skin protection.

Nevertheless, what if you are just not a fan of nuts or perhaps are allergic to them? A few other great food options are tuna, salmon and halibut. These do not necessarily have to be consumed at breakfast. However, including them in your lunch or dinner will certainly help you reap the many benefits.
