“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

Shea Butter-A Natural Jewel

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 8, 2015May 8, 2015Leave a Comment

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.

I find, with every new stage of my life, my self-image shifts with new duties and responsibilities, and so does my fashion style.”
