When filling in my brows, I prefer using brow pencils. Many beauty experts use brow kits that are rather expensive. Wanting to try something different, I decided on buying Wet ‘n’ Wild’s Brow Kit before splurging on an expensive brand. I read so many excellent reviews on it that I had to go the same day to purchase mine. I got it for $3.99 at a local drugstore, and am so pleased I didn’t have to spend more than that. Wet ‘n’ Wild’s Brow Kit is superb. It comes with a brush, tweezers, mirror, brow wax and two well pigmented shades: one light and dark hue making it easy for one to blend or use the color of your preference. This kit is superb. It takes me less than 3 minutes to complete my look, the price is just right, and the packaging is great. Wet ‘n’ Wild we have to admit… we’re wild about this product!
It seems like “Dirty Jersey” is cleaning up its act. Ever been to or would like to visit the Jersey shore in Wildwood, New Jersey? If you do, you better be wearing decent clothing that the town will actually be wild about. Wildwood now has real life Fashion Police (take a bite out of that Joan Rivers!). Mayor Ernest Troiano Jr. has made it unlawful for people to walk on the boardwalk barefoot, shirtless, or wearing saggy pants worn 3 inches below the hips. Bathing suits worn on the boardwalk without clothing over them will also get you penalized (Warm clothes for hot weather *sounds cozy: try not to suffocate*). The fines are set to $25 to $100 for the first offense and $200 for recurring ones with a likelihood of up to 40 hours of community service in some cases. Don’t get your panties in a bunch just yet, Troiano is not the first to support the ban, similar laws have been passed banning baggy pants in the United States from Miami all the way to Atlanta. Although law experts are calling it unconstitutional, Mayor Troiano stands firm on sand:
“They say it’s a fashion statement and this is America and they have the right to dress how they want… Well, I have the right to decency. My right is not to have to look at your (derriere) if I don’t want to. I find that offensive. Go somewhere else and do it, and for every one person I lose, I’ll gain 10 more who will be glad.”
He wants the Jersey Shore to be family-friendly and refuses to be the butt of all jokes. Yet Uggs and Crocs are not forbidden anywhere (Damn you all!). Others feel this is potentially racist targeting minorities (who are known for starting the urban trend) to keep them away from the town whose racial makeup is mostly white. On a good note, overly tanned babes and saggy fake breasts a la Snooki are not illegal which seems to be the Jersey Shore trademark. And if you ladies have a problem with that, go topless in New York, a train ride away, and it is absolutely legal to let your boobs free like a 60′s bra burning feminist in the city that never sleeps. How do you like them apples?
Wanting to grow my lashes longer, I decided to go for natural products. I tried Vaseline and it worked like a charm, but it is so thick it felt uncomfortable on my lids. I can always warm the jelly with my fingers, and add a thin layer, but to me it takes much longer. However, I do love how Vaseline leaves my lashes well conditioned and my eye area supple. Still, I wanted a product that I could just apply and go to sleep without too much hassle. I read about Castor Oil and how it makes the lashes grow longer in no time. I tried it, and although it has not thicken them they do seem much longer. I found the bottle for $2 at a local supermarket and have been applying it for a month three times a week. Not only did I see quick results, it is also easy to apply. It can be any brand just as long as it is 100% Castor Oil.
Nicki Minaj’s KMART Collection is set to launch this Fall with tights, brights, cropped tees and floral dresses. She says, “Comfortable equals sexy… I’m doing this for women in general to feel beautiful and sexy, and any woman can wear it and feel confident.” Critics are already demolishing it. I say it is very much a reflection of her. The dresses didn’t seem that bad at all. But as for the rest of the items, they’re not meant for anyone everyone. But let’s cut her some slack it’s Kmart not Bergdorf.

Or better said, what decade/moment in time do you belong to? I have a friend who is very Victorian, of course she doesn’t dress that way, but the way she decorates her home has a very Victorian feel to it. Personally, I LOVE the 60s and 70s. I think the women of those periods were one of the most beautiful—the big eyes, long lashes (whether fake or not), perky breasts and wasp waists is what I find truly beautiful. I love doing my hair in a twist, cat eyeliner, maintaining my figure, wearing high-waisted pants, buying bell sleeve tops, it is just my kind of thing. Those two decades inspire me from wearing vintage like clothes to decorating my home in psychedelic colors (you all know how bright I am!). What is your favorite decade or century? What inspires you from fashion and beauty to home decor? What’s your style? You already know mine.
Mike Jeffries, CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister Co., apologized for a statement he made back in 2006 to Salon.com as to whom should be wearing his clothing. He said:
“[Sex appeal is] almost everything. That’s why we hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don’t market to anyone other than that…. In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids. Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong, and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely. Those companies that are in trouble are trying to target everybody: young, old, fat, skinny. But then you become totally vanilla. You don’t alienate anybody, but you don’t excite anybody, either.”
When his quote resurfaced, backlash was revived. Jeffries decided to address it and make amends. Read more »

When it comes to fashion and style, what makes you comfortable? What is YOUR comfortable? I was thinking a few days ago about my first time on the road. {{Flashback}} When I was 18 years old, I went for my first driving lesson. Had gone jogging with a friend, I was in sweats and sneakers. Got home, told her I was going to jump in the shower and get comfortable. She said, “Nothing is more comfortable than what you are already wearing.” I smiled. I took a nice hot shower, then ready to drive I decided to get comfortable by putting on some dark denim skinny jeans, a tee and some 4 inch heels with a face full of makeup and my curly hair left long, loose, and looking shiny. That is MY “comfortable.” And that’s what I took my driving lessons in. Donatella Versace recently said she doesn’t remember when was the last time she wore flats. I rarely see JLO without her hoop earrings, that’s her comfortable. Am wondering, what’s YOURS? Perhaps a ring, earrings, necklace, eyeliner, false lashes, red lipstick, flats? What is the one thing that when you don’t wear it you feel naked without it? Foundation? Concealer? Push-up bra? What do you feel uncomfortable without when you don’t have it on?
You’re probably debating if you should cut your hair, let it grow out, or style it. Before doing anything to your hair you should know your face shape and which styles suit you, I will delve deeper on this in future articles. But for now, I will dare tell you how long should your long hair be according to your age. Most men love women with long hair. This is why some women, regardless of age, opt for super long locks because it is considered more appealing. However, when one hits a certain age, the length of your hair should shorten as you grow older. Unless you are one of those who love and want the grandma gray hair bun when you hit 80 years old, women older than 55+ should really start shortening their hair… Read more »
