Events | Gate City Naturals Lunch 'n Learn Recap

Hello Beauties!

Last month, I had the awesome opportunity to speak at the Gate City Naturals January Lunch 'n Learn.  This free event was held at EM Creative Fitness and Wellness in Greensboro on a cool Saturday.  When I arrived at the event, I was surprised to find that the fitness center has a juice bar as soon as you walk in.  They were in the midst of making juices and smoothies for customers.

Wedding | Hair Inspiration + Simply Bridal Hair Accessories

Hello Beauties!

As time is drawing closer to our wedding, I have finally zeroed in on how I would like to wear my hair for my special day.  I have already shared inspiration for my veil and wedding dress and now with the hair ideas in mind, it's coming full circle.  I've decided for my wedding hair that I would prefer an updo with a combination of my loose natural hair and extensions or braid extensions styled into an updo.

Beauty | KISS New York Aqua BB Cream Review

Hello Beauties!

Over the past few months, I have seen people online rave about the KISS New York Aqua BB Cream.  In the beginning, I was skeptical because when all of the craze surrounding BB creams began to surface awhile ago, I could never find a cream that was suitable for my oily skin or skin tone.  After seeing tons of reviews, including my friend Brilliance of B's review, I knew I had to try it.  I finally tracked the product down at my local beauty supply store.

Natural Hair | New SheaMoisture Products at Walgreens

Hello Beauties!

When SheaMoisture recently had their Saturdate with SheaMoisture at Walgreens, I stopped in to check out the event.  The event at my local Walgreens mainly had products on display and a sale Buy One, Get One 50% Off along with an additional $1 coupon. I saw a few new products on the shelves so I decided to snap a few pictures to share the products I saw on shelves.

Natural Hair | The Truth About Coloring Natural Hair

Hello Beauties!

Last September, I found myself wanting to do something new with my hair.  I had done everything from protective styles to a hair cut and I just felt it was time for another change.  I became intrigued by colored natural hair.  I loved the look of color with beautiful curls and kinks.  After thinking about it for a month, I took the plunge and colored my hair.  Now that I have had my hair colored for almost six months, I have started receiving questions about coloring hair and what advice I would give.

Personal Style | Target Steal + Mixing Prints

Hello Beauties!

It always seems like I love showing my personal style on Instagram, but it doesn't always make it over to the blog.  Today I wanted to share this outfit I recently wore because it includes two of my favorite things, a great deal and prints.  I love mixing prints, but I love a great price even more.  If you haven't learned from my Foursquare yet, I am a frequent Target shopper.  I often stop in to check out the 70% off racks and see what new goodies have been added.

Beauty | Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive Razor Review

Hello Beauties!

I have a slight confession to make.  I'm a hairy woman.  As a child, I could never understand how my mother had smooth, hairless arms and here I am looking like a bear.  Over the years, I have come to terms with it (although I would get laser hair removal if it was in my budget) and I keep a razor readily available in my arsenal.  The only issue is that due to the coarseness of my unsightly hairs, I can sometimes be left with irritation after shaving.  Not cute.  When Influenster sent out a survey about shaving and sensitive skin, I gladly took the survey.  A few weeks later, I was sent the Venus Gillette Embrace Sensitive Razor to try.

Fashion | Belk Spring Preview Recap

Hello Beauties!

I was recently invited to my nearby Belk to preview their new spring collection.  The spring preview was presented by the Vice President of Trend Merchandising and Fashion Direction for Belk, Arlene Goldstein.  Upon arriving, the set up was similar to past season previews (see here and here) that I have attended.  Arlene greeted guests at the door and once inside, you're surrounded by rows of chairs laced with amazing gift bags.
