Life Of A Fashion Blogger

 Beauty lovers, it's been a long time, okay it's been a week, but who's counting right, Lol. I hope that all of you are enjoying your Thursday/Friday eve and are ready to enjoy your weekend.  I've followed Mellow Cosmetics for a long time, and I have been meaning to put this blog post for the longest time. Ima is the founder of Mellow Cosmetics and she's a lover of all things beauty. She remembers playing with her mother’s makeup from a young age and as she grew older she wanted to turn her love for beauty into something much bigger. Back in 2014 when she was on maternity leave after the birth of her son. It was a joyful break from her full-time corporate job. As she was getting closer to the end of her leave, she was hesitant to leave her tiny baby at a childcare center to go back to work. she did not want to miss all the amazing milestones of her son, Ario. She decided to be an entrepreneur and work for herself. I thought to myself, I can be a full-time mum and a ...

 My favorite thing about Tuesdays is that I get to be here with you guys. I hope that all of you had a great weekend with all of your friends and family and are ready to have a fabulous week.  Let's be honest, sequins are ALWAYS in fashion and they're not going away any time soon. The fashion cycle always has a way of recycling old fashion trends and making them relevant again.  As I said before, I'm a southern girl and I love anything that shines and gimmers, but there's a difference between having sequins that are tasteful versus sequins that are overly done when it comes to dressing up sequins, less is more.  We all know that Gold is a metal that is always in style, this dress from the Gucci Spring/Summer 2022 Ready-To-Wear Collection is combining two of the hottest runway trends right now.  This dress is from Gucci Spring/Summer 2022 Ready-To-Wear Collection, Gucci always put on a show when it to their collections. I love seeing the Giambattista Valli Spring...

  Happy Monday everyone, I hope that you all had a great weekend and are ready to have a great and successful workweek.  Over the weekend, I was reading the newest issue of Southern Living and I noticed some gorgeous sandals from a brand named Southern Polished, so I decided to check them out and I'm telling you guys, I will purchase some of their sandals to have in my Spring/Summer 2023 wardrobe. Southern Polished is a Tennessee family-owned business that is steeped in Southern tradition and with a devoted appreciation for the elegance of that Southern tradition as expressed by superior style and dedicated craftsmanship.   Following his college graduation, Trent Potter began his post-college business career in Nashville, but eager to express his entrepreneurial ambitions, Trent left his job in the corporate business world and made his long-held dream of opening his own business a reality. In 2012, Southern Polished was launched. A skilled artisan, Trent's brother, H...

  Another day, Another Thursday/Friday eve, Another day that I get to be with all of you and I'm so grateful for that.  I love carrots  I can eat carrots all day. They are so good for you and have many health benefits. There is a new skin creme that I heard about while I was reading the April issue of Allure Magazine and it is from one of my favorite skincare brands, Saturday Skin. The Carrot + Niacinamide Moisturizing Creme is packed with superfood extracts from carrots, combined with ceramides and lipids that help to protect your skin’s appearance from drying environmental and digital exposure. Three extracts from the carrot help with the look of the skin’s tone and texture. Niacinamide works to improve the skin’s moisture barrier, while Centella Asiatica extract assists with the appearance of healthier-looking skin overall. The price for this creme is $27.00. https://saturdayskin.com/products/carrot-niacinamide?variant=39596915228730 Beauty lovers, I want to say that I...

 Happy Tuesday fashion lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well and enjoyed your weekend with all of your family and friends, and are ready to absolutely crush all of the goals that you have on your list for this week.  The following three blog posts are from Cosmopolitan Magazine featuring trends that is popular right now on the runways. Gold is always a do on the runways and in everyday life. I love gold because it screams elegance and femininity and good luck in many cultures. But in fashion, it's incorporated in every collection that designers use year after year.  The first picture is from the Carolina Herrera Pre Fall 2022 Collection. I can see this dress being worn in a holiday window for Saks or Neiman Marcus.  Now we all know that Schiaparelli is known for their over the top designs, and its Spring/Summer 2022 Haute Couture Collection is no exception. Fendi and Versace have teamed up a few times and this piece is from their Pre-Fall 2022 Collection....

 Thursday is finally here, which means that there's only one day until our weekend fun begins. I'm so grateful and happy to be here with you all again.  Healthy hair starts out with what you put on your hair. I was aware that Tabitha Brown has a hair oil that everyone has been raving about lately, so I figured that it was about time that I should put this on my blog for all of you guys to read and form your own opinion about this hair oil for yourselves.  The description for this hair oil is it's packed with 18 all-natural oils and powders to stimulate hair follicles to help extend the hair's growth cycle.  Additional benefits include relieving the scalp from dried-up flakiness, and dryness, and building all factors that stunts growth.

 Hello fashion lovers, and Happy Tuesday to all of you. I hope that all of you had a great weekend and are ready to crush all of the goals that are on your to-do list.  I have to ask myself this one practical question, why are fashion items so expensive, we all try to get them for ourselves, is it the status point of having them, or is that we want to flaunt our materialism in other people's faces, I'll be honest, I probably fall into that trap myself. I have this philosophy when it comes to fashion, you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to look great. We are trying to live in a world where prices are going up it seems to be every day, we need to spend our money wisely and there's nothing wrong with shopping your closet, recycling your outfits, and going to thrift stores or consignment shops. Today's fashion blog post is all about designers dupes websites that offer some of our favorite designer handbags, shoes, and clothing but for a fraction of the price an...

From inside their Berkeley labs, they developed patented technology that allowed us to create an accessible cure for malaria.

Because of the products that they use to make a difference for the health and the health of the planet. I did ...
