Black Girls Rock 2013! Was All About Beauty And Inspiration
This post is sponsored by COVERGIRL! Last night BET aired the annual Black Girls Rock! awards and I was SO thoroughly entertained and inspired. I’m so taken with Beverly Bond’s creation. Her organization goes so much further beyond glitz and glamour. It’s about reaching back and lifting up our sisters, it’s about recognizing our accomplishments…

Chicago! Join Me At The Cover FX Find Your Shade Event October 30 at Sephora!
Chicago bellas! I’ve been a fan of Cover FX for quite a long time — I even hosted an influencer event for them in 2012 in New York City! Back then the seed of an idea had been planted, and I’m so happy to finally see it come to fruition here in my city! I’m hosting a…
Iman! Gabrielle! Bethann! And…Me? My Essence Upfront Panel Experience
I’ve said this quite a bit when asked about what it’s like to be who I am and do what I do – my job is an ever evolving, always exciting exercise in perpetually rising to the occasion. That’s the most appropriate explanation for last Thursday’s experience. I was flown to New York City,…

Love Your Lips! These Are A Few Of My Favorite Lipsticks
You never forget your first, am I right? I’ve told the story a million times – when I was little, I “worked” at a busy perfume and cosmetics store in the mall in Trinidad, over Christmas. Of course being just a kid, there was only so much actual work I could really do. I remember…
You Deserve – the We Are Onyx Box
Bellas, I’ll be honest. Not all subscription beauty boxes are made equal. You sign up and hope for the best, and sometimes you find yourself disappointed by the tiny samples, the overabundance of drugstore products you could’ve bought yourself, or the look and packaging of the box itself. Sometimes you just want more than a…
