I had planned to write about a different topic today but when I went to run a few errands earlier, I saw something that compelled me to change my mind. Today I saw an alarming number of women wearing summer tops, tanks, and flip flops. While I admit it feels great outside and I have [...]

Work with what you’ve got!
This past weekend I celebrated homecoming at the illustrious Howard University (my alma mater)! It was a very fun weekend filled with old friends, parties, and other interesting adventures! On Friday evening I wore the super cute dress-turned-shirt you see pictured. I was kind of concerned about the color of the dress because I have [...]

Breast Cancer Awareness!!!!
Since it is Breast Cancer Awareness month, I decided to volunteer my makeup services for a photo shoot featuring women who are breast cancer survivors.

expeHAIRiment!
Over the weekend Chris Rock’s new movie, “Good Hair”, was released. I haven’t seen it yet but I thought for today’s blog we should talk about HAIR! I’ve heard from a few individuals who have seen the movie and are ready to put their weaves on the shelf. I am really not concerned with how [...]

makeup on a budget
I was having a conversation the other day with a client about makeup on a budget. Since I am a makeup artist, people seem to believe that all I use is M.A.C. or the expensive lines of makeup. Well, I am here to tell you that is not the case at all. I have used [...]

Recessionistas
A true fashionista knows that a recession, unemployment, or any of the effects of a bad market won’t get in the way of her being “runway” ready. I may not have the cash flow for Neiman’s right now, but from my look you would never know. Especially if you are wearing any of the couture [...]
