When I wake up in the morning, I absolutely DO NOT #wakeuplikethis. Mornings are not my time ofday but since the world does not often bend itself to my will, the AM hours are a neccesary evil. I'm a fan of keeping my morning routine simple and to the point. I've found that it's beneficial to start with a basic makeup routine and then add to it as time and fun permits. I recorded this tutorial a while ago, before the BeautiControl glamour overhaul so a new video is definitely in order! The products used and described in the video are all created by BeautiControl … [Read more...]
Fall 2014, The Essentials
August is one of those months that seems to whip by. One minute you’re planning out the last bits of summer and the next, you’re pulling out the sweaters. But now that it’s officially September, I might as well act like it. Last week, New York Magazine’s “The Cut” published a list of 50 pieces essential for building a classic wardrobe and I positively swooned.

I am a hot weather girl through and through and my summer … [Read more...]
#BeBlack: The Politics of Style

There is quite a bit of darkness in the news and I am ruminating about it quite a bit in this post. Style and fashion is part of life...and sometimes, death. These are my thoughts. It's been a difficult week for me. "What's wrong?!" you may ask. Well, I've been watching the news. And reading the news. And, cringingly, logging onto Facebook. And Instagram. And Twitter. There is nothing on which to buoy, it … [Read more...]
#BEbeautiful: Misty Copeland
Under Armour has found a winner in Misty Copeland. The first Black soloist in American Ballet Theatre, she is one hundred percent the definition of beautiful for me. I grew up as a little black girl in a largely white ballet world, depending on my mother to interpret costume requirements of "light pink lipstick and peach blush" to colors that would look good on her little brown baby. (I will say nothing of the constant search for nude dance tights when your skin cannot be matched to "beige".) I remember growing into a little brown woman and watching my body change into … [Read more...]
BE Revealed
Beauticontrol's Celebration is over. I'm listless and tired-- I think the lack of pulse-pounding music first thing in the morning is getting me down. The only thing tiding me over is the knowledge that I am going to get to share the experience with all of you! First things first, take a look at the NEW Beauticontrol... … [Read more...]
