Beautiful Skin All Summer Part One

Arianne Suggs June 25, 2015June 25, 2015Leave a Comment

Skin that is smooth and supple does not need to allude you just because the temperature is rising outside. Of course, it is a worry because exposure to such heat can lead to dry skin on various parts of the body. Many women notice dryness occurring with their hands, elbows and face. However, at times dry spots can begin popping up elsewhere when you are exposed to excess heat. Therefore, how can you maintain beautiful skin while having fun in the sun?

When it is not necessary to be out in the sun stay out of the heat. Moreover, when you are out having a good time wear loose fitting clothing in order to avoid becoming overheated. Above all, make sure that you are staying well hydrated at all cost! The body is mainly made up of water so keep it running properly as well as the biggest organ on your body (skin) healthy by gulping some quality H2O. Be sure to consume at least eight glasses of water to keep your skin lithe, soft and lustrous.

Braided Bangs

FKA Twigs is not the type of girl who is going to follow the crowd off of a style cliff. She goes her own way and makes her own fashionable path. We thought her braided bang look was quite fresh and a nice modernization of a retro Egyptian hair look.

Of course, not every woman is going to be comfortable with channeling Cleopatra or the trendy ladies of Moses’ day. However, if you are looking for a boisterous departure from the norm then the braided bang may be right up your alley.

Nevertheless, still want to take things up a notch further because braids are simply not enough? Be like FKA Twigs or the William sisters of old and incorporate some beads. Allow the bang to frame your face shape and keep them from becoming ratty by using a conditioner specifically designed for braid care and maintenance.

Arianne Suggs June 23, 2015June 23, 2015Leave a Comment

We hope that you have been enjoying all our posts designed to help develop confidence and pursue any and all dreams! Not all whether male or female are born with positive vibes or a powerful outlook on life. Of course dressing the part so to speak is a great way to not only express yourself but to gain a more positive view of oneself. However, we believe it is more than just fashions or clothes that truly make the woman.

Our Style Ambassador for her post this week enlightened us on what helps her to view life as being amazingly golden. She explained,

“Though time can determine when [things are] to start and when it is time to let go, sometimes it does not. We live through time, but I make the decision to choose to pick up [or focus on] moments that present to me necessities of life, those being: Love, peace, hope and joy. Those things I choose to wake up to every day, every morning. Therefore, since I aim to love myself I am my own necessity of life #womenarepower.”

We absolutely love her view on life and we hope you have enjoyed it too! Of course, we have to touch on Carlfonia’s style for just a moment. Don’t you just love her pair of glasses! Many girls are afraid to dive into anything considered “geek chic” but take a page from our Style Ambassador’s fashion book and incorporate some edge into your look at the same time to still look effortlessly cool. Carlfonia chose to pair her glasses with a cute leather jacket and jeans. Be sure to check back next week from another post by Carlifonia and see more of her style via Instagram: @carlifonia_a.

Zoe Kravitz Channels Her Mother Lisa Bonet

Arianne Suggs June 23, 2015June 23, 2015Leave a Comment

Zoe has been keeping busy with 3 new films, touring with her band and oh yeah, posing it out in major magazines! For her latest spread found in the June 2015 edition of GQ Zoe looks like a spitting image of her famous mother Lisa Bonet. Nevertheless, it is not her appearance that she wants the focus to be on, its more of her artistry and the stark change that has occurred in Hollywood. She says,

“It’s interesting that we’ve come to a place where people are expected to just do one thing… You used to have to be a triple threat to make it in Hollywood. Think about Gene Kelly and everyone. You used to have to sing, you used to have to dance. You were an entertainer.”

We have to agree with Zoe’s thoughts on Tinseltown, it does seem like the idea of being a triple threat died off many decades ago. Kravitz is taking everything in stride and just enjoying life as well as her latest projects. Check her out on Instagram to see more her cool style as well as her editorial spread found in this post.

Looks like Zoe Kravitz is definitely ready for summer!

Travel Mondays: Topanga Lookout Trail

Travel Mondays: Topanga Lookout Trail

This weekend I decided to try out another hike I had heard about that delivered beautiful views. I got up around 7:00a.m. before the sun was too intense and it was worth it. But first some facts about this location in California. In the Santa Monica Mountains 2,375 feet above the Pacific Ocean and 3 miles from the coast, the Backbone Trail crosses Stunt Road, creating a high trail-head for nearby destinations. Topanga Lookout, the former site of a fire tower, stands above Red Rock Canyon Park and offers fine views of the Santa Monica Mountains, Calabasas, and the Santa Susana Mountains. This hike to Topanga Lookout is 2 miles round trip with just 160 feet of elevation gain.

Now it could be me, but even though it was only two miles the incline was a little intense so I was able to get a good workout and my butt and thighs were feeling it in a major way. Other than that the hike is pretty easy and safe where I think you could even bring your children.

I did however get lost in trying to find this famous Topanga Lookout once I started the trail. So for no confusion just beyond the gated trailhead, walk up the paved Topanga Tower Motorway. You will then hit a cross road one going to the right on a paved road toward the radio towers atop the summit. On the left is a wide dirt trail, follow this track along the ridge uphill and down to the lookout to reach the beautiful location that is shown in this article.

You won’t be disappointed when you reach the top. The views are spectacular especially on a clear day and it’s an optimal place for photos.

Hope you are able to enjoy this hike, but in the mean time onwards and upwards to the next adventure.
