Rumor Has It Adele is the Face Of New Lipstick??

Posted By Mina

August 28, 2011

I admire Adele because of the new heights she brings to music, her lyrics tells a story and gives us a connection to her emotions. Her voice is truly beautiful and extraordinary, moving me and others in a way we can feel what she feels. That is rare to find in musicians today. Now Adele is the inspiration to Top Shop's releasing a new limited edition lipstick shade called "Rumor Has It". It is not officially tied to jazz singer Adele, but it does capture her retro glam and sultry look!! The lipstick is $18 and already sold out online, but fortunately it is being restocked quickly.

Transitioning to Natural Hair

Going Natural!!

Posted by Mina

August 26, 2011

Hello everyone, my twin sister Jia and I are super excited on our decision of going natural!!! We did not get a big chop and just decided to grow our perm/relaxed hair (Transitioning). Since I was in 3rd grade I have had a permed/relaxed hair. Recently, I have been admiring women who have gone natural and had the big curly afros, but I had no idea where to start and had little information.

Three weeks ago I came across this blog that inspired me so much, http://moptopmaven.blogspot.com, she provided a lot of valid and great information on where to start, what to buy, also video tutorials, and a lot more!! We have been perming and over processing our hair and I was sick and tired of the whole process. So we are going natural NO HEAT, SULFATE FREE and ORGANIC products. I have been keeping my hair in regular curls and Jia has been doing braid outs. Since the decision I have not used a perm/relaxer and any heat on my hair!!

So far I feel great on making this decision for myself and my hair. I want to send my support and love to those on the same journey. Going natural is an emotional and self-identifying journey. To help me, everyday I go on as much natural hair blogs/websites as possible and drown myself with beautiful strong women rocking their natural hair. Remember you are all beautiful and strong!! xoxo

You Dont have to Break the Bank!!

Everyone wants to dress and feel like a celebrity and a million bucks. But with another

recession emerging money can be a little tight. Don't worry my Bombshells, we have a solution on the way. I have found these gorgeous Mulberry Postmans Lock Ankle Boots that are to die for but can seriously put a dent in the bank.

Immediately I went hunting for something that can even try to come close to the Mulberry Ankle Boots and I found this beautiful pair of, Carlos by Carlos Santana Admit Ankle Boots for only $113- $130.

They were a perfect match to the stunning Mulberry Boots but has a character on its own!! Now my budgetnista's every where an walk the streets looking HOT. xoxo
