Beauty Answer: With a good regimen changes and results should be noticeable within 2-3 months. Just like with regular hair (or hair which grows from the scalp) everyone is different and for some the process can be quicker or slower. The key is consistency and realizing that lashes need a little attention on a daily basis. Eyelash growth treatments, serums and lash conditioners help to stimulate your eyelash growth cycle so that lashes grow in thicker, longer and darker.
Cheap Can Be Chic: Here’s a little trick if lash conditioners are not quite in the budget at the moment. Buy a moisturizing lip balm and apply a little to your lashes every night.
Now just so we are all on the same page we are not talking about those fad or drastic diets that can be quite harmful to your health in the long run. Nevertheless, it has been shown that a diet incorporating nutrients and protein can improve the condition of the hair keeping follicles strong. Which is great news because remember less breakage means length will be retained. Most women believe that their hair is not growing when in fact it is always growing. The issue is that when hair is not healthy or it breaks any length achieved is not noticeable.
It is recommended to add omega-3 oils into your diet to help get you on the way to Repunzel tresses. Nuts, almonds, supplements and salmon can help strengthen strands. One last word on dieting, if you are trying to grow your hair avoid yo-yoing at ALL costs. Such extreme dieting can cause stress and effect hormone levels thus affecting your hair.
We are fans of Ghanaian stylist Edward Enninful and we were delighted to see his latest work for W magazine. In the June 2015 edition, Enninful got to dress up the beautiful Jourdan Dunn for an editorial showcasing fashions we can’t wait to rock once the heat wave ends. Many of the season’s trends seem to spill on over i.e. stripes, florals and patchwork pants. Moreover, are we the only ones that are absolutely in love with those globe earrings? The entire editorial is simply genius and had an all star team to boot. Hair and makeup were handled by Shon Hyungsun Ju as well as Frankie Boyd and the shoot was lensed by Alasdair McLellan.
Alright ladies we have all summer to get you prepped for next school year’s picture day or if you just want to look fierce in your summer selfies and pics with friends you are going to want to keep reading! Some find great anxiety in taking photos whether for a very specific reason or just for kicks. However, there are a few things you can do to look more flawless.
1. Dress Accordingly– It can feel like one big fashion show on Instagram and Tumblr, but remember it is about you and not everyone else. Wear clothes that fit well and that are not too busy. That loud geometric print ensemble may look a little messy in a photo, remember that less can be more and streamline.
2. Check Yo’ Self– You would not believe how many times that hair can mess up an otherwise “perfect” photo. Always look yourself over or have a trusted friend check you out and fix accordingly.
3. Stay Up– Avoid the dreaded double chin look in photos by keeping your head up.
4. Beat the Jitters– If you tend to get nervous and look like a deer in the headlights try thinking happy thoughts. More specifically, before the photo is snapped look away for a second and think of something really funny then look back at the camera and smile.
5. Fake an Overcast– Did you know that when it is overcast outside it is actually an ideal time to take a photo? Well, now that summer is upon us you can still fake these ideal conditions by setting your camera’s flash in sunlight mode. Doing so, will actually help to even out skin tone.
6. Work Those Angles– Take a clue from celebrities who walk the red carpet, for the most part they NEVER face the camera straight on. Create a long diagonal line and ultimately slimming effect by placing one leg out in front and pivoting your body slightly to the side. Place one hand your hips and you have struck one of the most famous Hollywood poses!
Alright girls now get out there and work it!!!

She is an accomplished director, filmaker, artist, designer and basically Instagram royalty. Easy on the eyes and the very talented Vashtie has paired up with Puma to create a stylish collection for summer. The collection is inspired by the B-boy and NYC skate subcultures of the 80’s and 90’s. So think bombers, tanks, jerseys and gold detailing. The grittiness and edge of the collection was encapsulated by the shoot which took place around a downtown metro station in Manhattan.

In the list of embarrassing moments I think most of us can add being told we have lip color smeared all over our teeth. Thus, begins the tongue battle of trying to remove said lip color with the occasional reassurance question to the person who revealed the issue, ” Uh, did I get it?” From now on wear lipstick with confidence that your teeth shall be spared with a simple old Hollywood trick.
After you have applied the lip color of your choice place your index finger inside of your mouth, close your mouth then slowly pull the finger back out. What this does is ensure that any lipstick that would of winded up on your teeth ends up on your index instead. See, simple, effective and a tip that has been passed on down from the starlets of old.
