Excited? So are we! Therefore, in order to get you ready for Eva’s upcoming collection we thought we’d share some easy decorating tips. All with the aim of helping you to infuse your home’s overall vibe with your own personal style!

Tip #1 Get Your Research On– Do a little homework to find out what type of decor looks you like and dislike. Search through magazines, books, social platforms dedicated to interior design and Google Images. In time you can see a clear pattern of the style(s) you seem to lean towards.

Tip #2 Don’t Chase Trends– The thing about trends, is that they are here one day and literally gone the next. It’s like trying to chase something going full speed and your pace is more that of a turtle. Instead aim to make picks that make your various rooms feel good, coordinated and comfy.

Tip #3 You Go Girl!– Realize now that nothing in any space will be or has to be permanent. The home style constantly evolves so be prepared to “let go” of various items or looks from time to time. You might get hitched, decide to travel plus your family may get larger or smaller.

All of these are changes that will cause some tweaking to your home’s style. Hey, look on the brightside. If things never changed, you would not get to enjoy the spoils of open concept, rustic, art-deco, mid-century, contemporary, bohemian or traditional design.

Tip #4 Say Yes to the Test– Before you purchase anything make sure that the item passes one important test, your lifestyle. Peer deeply into your habits, hobbies, interests, how you like to unwind, relax and just simply chill. If a piece doesn’t fit with how you truly love to live just do yourself a favor and forego it.

Black Girl Fitness- Should I Take a Multivitamin or is it Unnecessary?

Arianne SuggsUpdated on December 26, 2017December 26, 2017Leave a Comment

Should I take a multivitamin? That is the question that is plaguing many health-conscious ladies around the world. Furthermore, things get even more confusing when experts with varying views and opinions also weigh in on this topic.

For instance, some health experts say that eating only good, clean, nutritious food is all a person needs. Yet, others still believe strongly that consuming a multivitamin has its place in a proper diet. Therefore, who is right and who is wrong? Also, should taking a multivitamin be a decision that is made more due to a person’s lifestyle or schedule?

Black Girl Fitness- Should I Take a Multivitamin or is it Unnecessary?

The truth is multivitamins cannot replace good nutritious food, however, they can help. Mr. David Levinsky is a professor at Cornell University. In regards to taking multivitamins daily he says, “I take a multivitamin every day as a little insurance policy. For certain groups of healthy people, especially those whose diet has nutritional gaps, a multivitamin can help fill in those gaps.”

Moreover, health and nutrition expert Madelyn Fernstrom offers up another good reason as to why taking multivitamins could be a benefit. Fernstrom is a professor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. In reference to multivitamins Madelyn says, “In a perfect world we would all eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. We would all exercise regularly, but that’s not a reality. People can be strapped for time or money and don’t meet their daily nutrient needs. Also, you have to remember that many studies look at large population groups, not individuals.”

Should I Take a Multivitamin or is it Unnecessary?

So then, if a person does decide to take a multivitamin doing so will have its benefits. No, it will never take the place of a good meal. However it will have the ability to help supplement an already healthy diet so that a person can meet the recommended requirements for certain minerals as well as vitamins.

Nevertheless, that brings us to a brand-new issue. What type of supplement or multivitamin should a person take? Also, are all multivitamins created equal?

The scary answer to that last question is that, no, not all multivitamins are created equal. That is because some companies are allowed to sell multivitamins that are not even hundred percent completely derived from actual food. A real concern for anyone who is just trying to live a healthier lifestyle.

Take a Multivitamin or is it Unnecessary? (Cont.)

However, there is a practical solution to this health issue. Enter… Silver Fern Brand Whole Food Multivitamin. What makes this brand of multivitamin so different? Silver Fern answers, “Here at Silver Fern we believe you should get the most of your vitamins and minerals through the food you eat! But sometimes it’s hard to consume 8 cups of broccoli 11 cups of kale and 33 cups of spinach in the day we made it easy with our whole food multivitamin just two little capsules a day get the job done!”

But wait there’s even more benefits to taking Whole Foods multivitamins. Silver Fern continues, “A lot of you are wondering about multivitamins and why ours are different. So here it is: vitamins can be synthetic or natural. Many of the multivitamins on the market are synthetic parentheses meaning made in a lab parentheses rather than from actual real food! Companies can label it as natural as long as it contains 10% derived from plants. Silver Fern vitamins are hundred percent natural. Every bit coming from real fruits and vegetables! They are blended up and then we remove the cellulose (plant fiber) sugar, and protein… leaving dense nutrients that are then freeze-dried. We care what you put in your body and it was a frustration with what was on the market that drove us to create this unbeatable product!”

Take a Multivitamin – BONUS!

Sound like the perfect multivitamin for you? Get at Whole Foods grocery stores for $. Nevertheless, Whole Foods also wants to help you get started on developing an even better healthy diet for yourself. In collaboration with The Butter Half, this easy Gree Smoothie recipe was created to energize and fulfill your nutritional needs! Check it out below.

Some have gone from Ranch style to Mediterranean, closed off to open concept. sometimes your dog might run out of these luxury houses, you must have these wireless invisible dog fences on your ground near dog house.

Confidence Building Activities – Daily Beauty Quote December 18, 2017

Arianne SuggsUpdated on December 20, 2017December 18, 2017Leave a Comment

To be successful in anything you have to feel like you can, you are worth it and you can not be stopped. Basically, it boils down to one word… confidence. Therefore, we decided to develop this success driven feature on Confidence Building Activities. What helped spark this post? Well, did you catch our daily Melanin Magic tweet this morning? It was simple and sweet and read as:

“Makeup is art. Beauty is spirit.”

-Anonymous

Instantly, our tweet gained numerous retweets as well as favorites. Therefore, we take it that many of you want more than “skin deep” results. True confidence is the product of what we find within.

Confidence Building Activities -How to Do it

So then, what are some ways that one can develop as well as maintain confidence? First of all, you have to look at it almost as physical training. For instance, when you want to gain more tone or muscle what do you do?

Most likely, you begin some sort of workout training regimen as well as make some tweaks to your diet choices. In time, the results start to show not just to yourself but to onlookers and people who know you well. The same is true when it comes to developing confidence.

You have to work at it regularly and consistently. Moreover, you may need to make a few tweaks to yourself or how you do things. Nevertheless, if you do and stick with it soon the results will be clearly manifest.

Confidence Building Activities – What to Do

Below you will find several confidence building activities that you can engage in to help to say goodbye to insecurity and hello to the new you! Remember, like training your body, attaining confidence can take a little time. However, do not give up, you were made to achieve great things! Furthermore, by incorporating a few of these activities into your daily schedule you will be well on your way.

Speak Positively of Yourself– Taking to yourself can at first seem like a really creepy thing to be doing, however, the outcome is higher self-esteem. Try looking into a mirror and saying something positive about yourself. Most people do not realize all the negative thoughts they entertain every day.

Those thoughts over time can wreak havoc because we start to believe it. Therefore, in order to undo and combat negativity saying something nice is essential. Focus on your accomplishments. Say to yourself, “I am really proud of how I finished that school or work project early.” Or perhaps, “I look really nice today!”

Simple positive acknowledgments can have awesome long term effects. Eventually, harmful thoughts will be replaced with good ones and your actions will soon follow.

5 Compliment Journal- This activity is very close to the positive speaking builder, the only difference is that you will write your feelings down. Purchase a journal that will allow you to write down daily 5 positive things about yourself. Can simply be words describing yourself such as: Happy, Kind, Hard-working, Energetic and Driven.

Or you may choose to be more descriptive. Either way is acceptable and will help you to root out insecurities. Never forget that positive thoughts result in positive outcomes. So then, take time to feel great about yourself daily and watch the magic happen!

Confidence Building Activities (Cont.)

Set Goals and Challenges– Think of success like a ladder, you can’t skip rungs to get to the top without running the risk of injury. Therefore, save yourself the trouble by putting in the steady work required. Start off by setting small goals for yourself that will help you to reach your bigger goals.

For example, if you desire to be in better shape. Start off by having the goal of working out for 20 minutes three to five times a week. Once that becomes routine you have accomplished your goal! Next, challenge yourself to try a new exercise or bump up your workouts to 25 or 30 minutes.

As you set, work towards and accomplish your goals you will be simultaneously building more confidence. It is a win win situation that will leave you in a better state mentally, emotionally as well as physically.

Workout and Exercise– Speaking of physically, ever heard the saying, “When you look good, you feel good?” Well, it is as true now as it was when the first man or woman uttered it.

Exercise not only releases endorphins so that you will feel happier, but it can help you look your best as well. Now we are not saying you have to be super skinny to have confidence. No, but being healthy for your body type can help you feel more powerful, influential and commanding.

You are the commander and captain of your life. Feeling your best can put you in a positive space that allows you to take control because your quality of self has improved. It may have started outside, however, you will be most affected inwardly.

Confidence Building Activities – You’re Not Perfect and Trust Us, It’s Okay

No one can go every day feeling like the world is all rainbows and sunshine. However, you can always choose to make lemonade out of lemons. Throughout life for us ladies there tends to be certain things that “bring us down.” Knowing and being able to spot them is the best way to stay in control of them.

Browse the chart below and see if you identify. Remember, you are not alone, all of us can use a boost in confidence from time to time. Just know that it can be gained regardless of your background, childhood, past or mistakes. You CAN be successful and you WILL be successful if you take steps daily and never give up!

How To Choose The Right Fitness Trainer, Regardless of Fitness Level

ArianneUpdated on December 18, 2017December 18, 2017Leave a Comment

Choosing the right personal fitness trainer is very important. To pick up the phone and call the first trainer that popped up in a Google search, could end up being both a waste of time and money. Therefore, personal training is a valuable service, but it is best to pick a fitness trainer that can achieve the goals that YOU are after.

How To Choose The Right Fitness Trainer

There is no such thing as a stupid question. We recently quizzed a top Los Angeles fitness trainer on what anyone regardless of their fitness level should look for in a trainer. Remember, it is your body and it deserves only the best. With that in mind, here are a few things to definitely keep in the forefront when making your decision.

1. What are their achievements?

The Answer: Pick a trainer whose achievements closely match your goals. If you want to run a race, a runner with marathon experience would fit. If you want to lose weight, a personal trainer who has lost weight his/herself would be a great match.

Of course this is not always the case. I have trained men for mass gain and have been plenty successful. If you find a trainer you want to work with, ask if they have experience in the area. Furthermore, any great trainer will get one of their previous or current clients to call or e-mail you, with a testimonial if you request one.

2. What is their availability?

The Answer: If you want to train full force at three or four times a week, make sure the trainer has the availability. A great personal trainer is really busy, and some can only fit in 1 or 2 sessions per client a week. If you want to work with them anyway, see if they will provide you with a custom program for working out one or two days a week on your own.

Choose The Right Fitness Trainer (Cont.)

3. What are you looking for in a personal trainer?

The Answer: Do you just need someone there to make sure you are exercising hard enough? Do you want someone who will motivate you like a drill Sergeant? Do you need to work on technique? Or perhaps, do you have any injuries or conditions that need a more experienced and knowledgeable trainer?

As you can see, a little analysis is required. Definitely be sure to pick out a trainer that will provide what you want. Everybody has different expectations of what a good trainer is. Find the right match for what you need to get out of your workout sessions.

Personal training is a service that fast tracks results safely and surely. A great way to find a trainer is through friends and family who can recommend their trainer to you. Alternately, do your research, and hire the best trainer for your goals and needs.

The Right Fitness Trainer

A truly skilled personal fitness trainer can help you learn not only how to get into the best shape ever, but maintain it. This kind of knowledge is simply invaluable. Los Angeles fitness coach, Erin Williams demonstrated how important it is to listen to as well as learn from the best. Furthermore, Williams shared with us a nutrition tip that can really help you shed the pounds! Enjoy.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on December 13, 2017December 13, 2017Leave a Comment

Listen… she isn’t lying when tells you she makes “money moves.” 2017 has been quite a year for hip hop superstar Cardi B! She racked up hits, awards, records and taught us all a thing or two about “bloody shoes.” Now rap’s princess is giving the masses another special lesson in fashion. Watch out world the Cardi B Steve Madden Curated Collection is here!

Fashionable Mention: Cardi B Steve Madden Curated Collection

Talk about a glow up! Besides burning up the charts this talented lady is always being spotted in the hottest designer couture. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Miss Cardi B set it off and spread her style wings.

In one full swoop Cardi has essentially gone from high end muse to designer extraordinaire. The lyricist is dropping a collection of stunner pieces in collaboration with the fabulous Steve Madden. What can be expected to be apart of the collection?

Think… accessory paradise. Cardi’s Steve Madden line incorporates voguish shoes (of course, this is Steve Madden people) as well as sunglasses. Her shoe wear includes a nice range of shoe styles from thigh high boots to pointed toe heels.

Cardi B Steve Madden Curated Collection -No Splurge Necessary

When most think “designer” they also think such items must have designer prices. However, if you are feeling like the Cardi B Steve Madden Curated Collection is going to leave your wallet crying for help you would be mistaken. The collection is actually super affordable which is music to the ears (no pun intended) to fans all over the globe.

The collaborative Steve Madden collection includes items that are as low as just below $40. Furthermore, the range reaches as far up as $230. Thus, making Cardi’s fashion collection a splurge that you and your bank account can feel great about.

For instance, the perfect steal to cop for your wardrobe now retails for, now get this, just $36! There is no specific name for these ice cold shades but they are listed as item number SMR88308. Why are we particularly feeling these shades?

For one, they have a very retro yet modern vibe. Making them easy to style an outfit with due to their versatility. Plus, the blue tone of these sunglasses match effortlessly with denim jean ensembles which will be worn more often now that temps are headed downward.

Cardi B Steve Madden Curated Collection-Getting the Word Out

As much as fans love Cardi B for her music, they also can’t get enough of her vibrant personality. Steve Madden capitalizes on Cardi’s energetic flair in a series of visuals made specifically for the promotion of their collab collection. Within them Cardi acts out a classic infomercial with scrolling 1-800 number and all.

What’s she selling? Her awesome collection of course! Along with Cardi’s “Daily Tips.” In case you have yet to eyeball one of these ads we will get you started. One tip Cardi B suggests is, “Every woman needs a pointy shoe.”

We completely agree with Cardi’s stylish tip and she also has you covered. In the Cardi B Steve Madden Curated Collection you will find a very chic pair of pink pointed toe shoes. These shoes are called the Daisie and are the perfect addition to a cute ensemble in order to add a nice pop of color.

The Appeal

Everything this woman touches turns to pure gold. How did Cardi B’s 2017 reign begin? It all started with a little hit known as “Bodak Yellow.”

With this one single Cardi B changed the history of music forever. It went on to accomplish something that hadn’t occurred in 19 years. Not only did Bodak Yellow hit the number one slot, Cardi became the second female rapper to do it without any accompanying acts. The only other lady to shine in this way is the iconic Lauryn Hill.

Nevertheless, during 2017 Cardi B’s fan appeal only increased as she stacked up award after award. You may have forgotten about a few. No worries here’s a quick recap of Cardi’s 2017 achievements.

•BET Hip Hop Award for Hustler of the Year
2017

•BET Hip Hop Award for Made You Look Award for 2017

•Soul Train Music Award for Rhythm & Bars Award for 2017 ( Winner for Bodak Yellow)

•BET Hip Hop Award for Best New Hip Hop Artist for 2017

Swanky Luxury! The Amazing Pink Piano of all You Sci-Fi Dreams

One word… obsessed. If you are a lover of interior decor then you already know there is nothing sexier in a room than a show-stopping, glitzy piece! Our latest find is literally Bombay meets Blade Runner. Check out designer Dio Davies’ latest creation – a coral pink piano that’s straight out of science fiction.

The up-and-coming Notting Hill designer’s bespoke Coral Piano sees a world-class Edelweiss piano enclosed inside a transparent perspex shell, which can be illuminated by neon LED lights.

Swanky Luxury! The Amazing Pink Piano of all You Sci-Fi Dreams

The futuristic statement piano, inspired by the furniture designer’s travels in India and her love of Sci-Fi movies, also has a self-play system that allows tracks to be played wirelessly from a concealed iPod and hidden speakers.

Dio, who is already making waves in design circles with a collection of acrylic furniture meets art. Kindly spoke further about the inspiration behind this exquisite pink piano. Dio reveals,

“It’s a piece of furniture that starts the party! Moreover I wanted to create the ultimate interactive experience. A sculpture that at the flick of a switch turns into a radiant and dramatic center-piece. Drawing you in both by sight and sound.

I took my love of films such as Tron and Blade Runner and their technological aesthetic – and the colors from my travels: tropical sunsets, flamingos and coral shells – and used crisp, dazzling acrylic to transform this hand-crafted artisan instrument into a vibrant work of art.”

Furthermore, I wanted to respect the heritage of the piano and its traditional mechanisms, the wooden hammers and leavers, and the classic black and white keys. However, I wanted to take it into the future and the transparency presented an exciting challenge. The piano needed to be beautiful, whilst also hiding the digital wizardry that allows the Edelweiss self-play system to operate behind the scenes.”

Amazing Pink Piano of all You Sci-Fi Dreams

Dio decided to collaborate with piano company Edelweiss, which has been handcrafting self-playing, custom pianos from its Cambridge studio for more than 40 years.

She says, “Edelweiss was the only company I could find that could build this piano, and help me realize my dream. I wanted something magnificent but musically precise; and their craftsmen were able to configure the exact design, color and materials I was looking for.”

Ross Norman from Edelweiss says: “We relished the challenge to work with Dio, and to create something completely different. In this case, taking a piece of statement furniture into the fourth dimension, giving it color, light and sound.”

The Coral Piano is priced at £38,000 (including VAT) and can already been seen at Mayfair cocktail lounge Sketch. To inquire, contact Dio Davies: 0207 754 1198 or email hello@diodavies.co

Did You Know? The Coral Pink Piano comes with a hidden iPod pre-programmed with 400 songs. A bank of precision electronic solenoids, invisibly built into the piano accurately plays the selected music as originally recorded. Edelweiss self-playing pianos are made by world-renowned Cambridge piano maker and restorer 1066 Pianos. Set up in 1975 by a physicist who wanted to apply the meticulousness of science to restoring and building fine pianos, it has more than 10,000 square feet of workshops devoted to building and restoring pianos.
