Can you wear white young lady?

And I'm not talking about the a white shirt here and there, the white short that you wear in the summer with that top that has a million colors and needs some cooling off; I'm talking ALL White!!.. Well, this is your chance because from New York to Milan, white white white is ripping the runways for Spring this year and it look absolutely stunning!

So instead of waiting for that occasional white party (or your wedding day) any day is an excuse to pair all your whites together with a healthy nude face for a so fresh and so clean look that is so spring & summer. This is the perfect time to highlight your On-the-Go-Girl Glow.. Fresh, Simple and Effortlessly Glam. Everything my Company represents.. Have fun with this and let me know how it goes!.. =)  Muah!

Coming Soon..

Its March, no matter where you are, Spring is coming soon (for some sooner than others) but I think its safe to say that we are all ready for some warmer weather.. I'm tired of being cold especially since the midwest weather is no joke.. But, what can ya do?.. =) Get ready for summer!!.. Swimsuit season will be here before you know it.!
Don't say I didn't remind you. 

No matter what your size, we all need to make certain we exercise regularly, maintain a healthy diet and weight. Hey, if nothing else you live longer and you keep up that glow..  So here's your March reminder that swimsuit season is closer than you think.. Hit the floor and get those sit ups in, take a brisk walk around your neighborhood or a local track..
And don't forget to eat!!. Healthy snacks are your friend no matter if you are trying to loose or gain. We're all living hectic lives and got to stay fueled up..

There are a few things to keep in mind when getting ready for summer swimwear. Besides making certain you feel comfortable with your curves, the skin that hasn't seen sun in what feels like ages may need a little extra attention to get back on track.. A good loofah, moisturizer and fade cream may be your best friend for a couple weeks just to get back on track to summer skin. Stay close, there will be more specifics on skincare products and shaping up coming Fridays starting in April. Muah!

In my White Tee

I'm a tee shirt kinda girl.
A tee, tank, whatever, every style but only one color.. White!

I'm sure you all know how essential a white tee shirt is but I still have to take a minute to point it out again.. I absolutely LOVE a white tee shirt. I don't know where my effortless look would be without one. The versatility of the white tee shirt can not be downplayed! It surpasses age, size, and skin shade. a crisp white shirt looks great on everyone!.. You decide which direction you want your look to go; Do whatever you want with your shoes and accessories, this is the perfect time to get some use out of that random over the top necklace or shoes that match absolutely nothing in your closet..
A white top is your blank pallet.. Be an artist.. 





A Moment in Fashion History: Naomi Sims

1969
Nowadays there are so many young girls (and even those late 20something that are considered old as hell in the modeling world) that have a dream of becoming a super model. Young Women line up for there chance to become Tyra's Americas Next Top Model and even though it still seems like a dream job that's more attainable than in the past its hard as hell to get your big break in modeling.









Every arena has its trailblazers and in honor of black history month I want to take a moment to salute Naomi Sims. Born in Oxford Mississippi ( Just a few hours away from the small town my family is from) =}  Naomi later moved out East and attending the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City while taking courses in Psychology at night. She received her first big break by stepping out and making her own connections with famous photographer Gosta Peterson. From there she got her own work using the up-and-coming Wilhelmina Modeling company as a contact.

 Naomi is truly an inspiring women, not just because I love her name  ;-) but mainly because she encompassed everything I think a women should be; beautiful and intelligent, She took control of her life from a young age and even though she was awkward and teased for being 5'10 by the age of 13 she made her life a true success.. How many people do you know that are still holding on to things from their childhood?? Are you still holding on to insecurities? Her life could have gone in any direction and he chose for it to be a positive one. 


Ms. Sims was later referred to as the one of the most savy business women in the fashion industry. She was also an author and published lots of writing on healthy beauty and black women in business.
The Cover that Sims says started her career




Sims passed on at the young age of 61 but I must say that I have really enjoyed reading about her today. She is truly inspiring and I am happy to share her name. With GODs grace this Naomi will be just as successfully in my endeavors and can take time in my years to inspire those that that I touch.. The moral of the story is dream big and go for it!! Whatever "it" may be.


Peace ~ Love 
Muah!

Bangin!




I don't have bangs, never been able to do it. It just doesn't work for my everyday life, my big hair has a life of its own and i have to keep it in its comfort zone to avoid lookin like whoa... So in this post I just wana send a shout out (ha!.. people shouldn't use that term anymore but its just so handy right now..lol) to all the gals out there rocking bangs. I wish I had some, I'm jealous!.. They are so cute and sassy and versatile.. There totally girl next door or Sexy Vixen. 
If you're feeling kinda blah about your current 'do and you don't want to make any drastic changes to your look, get a fresh trim and a bang as a change for spring.. Spruce up those curls or keep it flat and give yourself a frame up.. It will highlight that beautiful face of yours..
Muah!

Valentines Day Countdown Part III

Who envies the girl who's got her own??.. Neo wrote a song about her, Miss Independent got the house, the car, the banging wardrobe. Career Woman on the move! Always at the hottest events, being glam is so much fun..But all work and no play, blah blah blah.. ;o) So maybe lets try the reverse for you. If you're married or single, mommy of many or none a girl gota take time to relax and I'm down for any excuse to relax. Let V~Day be that excuse..


 Take some time to enjoy your home. Especially if you are living in that dream house you always wanted, make good use of that house/apartment that you pay all that hard earned money for. More often than not we get so consumed in maintaining the life we have and working toward the life we want that we don't get to enjoy what we have. So, take a minute to stop running around town and move those rubber duckies and bottles of shampoo out of site and make your bathroom a haven in honor of Valentines Day.
Philosophy
Pick up some of these goodies and curl up with a book or your hubby and enjoy a relaxing evening at home..
Carol's Daughter. Bath Salts & Oils make bath time relaxing.

Even Puppy needs some chill time on V~Day   :o)
