“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.”
–Mindy Kaling

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.
With the Grandiose mascara by Lancome and Color Design Palette you’ll be able to fan out those lashes as well as make your eyes pop and sparkle. We love the gorgeous purple shades that are sure to make a strong beauty statement.

You would never think that Ciara even had a baby when looking at her toned, sculpted physique. Nevertheless, CiCi revealed to her fans just how she got her sick abs back after having her precious little bundle of joy. Ciara said, “After my son I started waist training with Girly Curves to get my pre-baby body back. Loving the results! Thanks Girly Curves!” Waist training has become a major trend thanks to its promises of a super small waist to enhance womanly curves. Well, one thing is for sure whatever Ciara is doing it’s working!

Gorgeous models Aamito Lagum and Senait Gidey are serving up some classic vintage glam for W magazine. The pair wears relaxed fashions that include sweaters, chic dress pants, button down tops and bell bottom “flared” pants. The retro feel of the shoot still comes across fresh which makes the couture invoke a more modern twist on the decade that was and the trends that emerged from that moment in time. We really got a kick out of the shoe-wear that although quite boisterous came across muted blending seamlessly with the ensembles as a whole.

Can Senait Gidey get anymore beautiful?! Apparently, the answer is yes… Gidey is featured this month in a beauty editorial for ELLE Canada. Senait does not roll solo in the spread she is joined by model Dauphine. The jaw-dropping makeup was handled by MUA Lloyd Simmonds and photographer Owen Bruce lensed the shoot. The editorial increases the drama going from a natural face to bold eye color and even a smoking dark lip.

Beauty Quickie: Mascara should only be found on your eyelashes but it always seems to find its way elsewhere i.e. on eyelids and the under eye area. Prevent this by making sure your mascara is set and dry. Set mascara by using the cool setting on your hair dryer and give lashes a quick blast of air.

Beauty Quickie: Give your face a glow that is sure to light up any room. When cleansing your face add sugar to your soap to exfoliate skin and scrub away dead skin cells leaving behind fresh gorgeous skin.
