Own Your Pretty
I am adding some new information to my very first post. I was born in Louisiana and raised in Houston, Texas. My entire being is a Southern girl. I have never met a monogram or a thank you card that I didn't like. I am big believer in Southern hospitality. I'm also the only girl of four older brothers. I am my father's ONLY daughter, so I grew up knowing first hand how to be spoiled and spoil myself. I'm big on spoiling myself. I'm grateful and thankful everyday for my life. It's not always "rainbows and butterflies," but it's good. I adore fashion, love looking at the shows, wondering what I will be wearing each season, but for me it's about beauty. I see beauty in everything from books, food, culture, art, music, and life.
I have a life long love affair with beauty products that I inherited from my grandmother. I will try any type of beauty product once. For me there are no bad beauty products, there are only products that don't work on everyone. So, come along with me on the beauty roller caster that is All About the Pretty.
Original Entry:
It is finally cold here in the nation's capitol. After weeks of warm temperatures, old lady winter has decided to show her face. My skincare routine of eye cream, serums, and heavy moisturizer has my skin flawless despite the drastic weather changes of the past few weeks. Winter has not stopped my makeup routine from heading in the direction of spring.
My thoughts are flowers, such as violets, peonies, roses, lilies. In the beauty area, that’s Bobbi Brown’s Violet Palette, NARS Cosmetics Sugarland Eyeshadow in Sparkling Apricot and Gilded Orchid Pink, CARGO Lip Gloss Quad in North Pole which has four shimmering colors in pink, rose, golden ruby and gold. I’m still using some of my fall cosmetics, but lately my spring purchases are appearing on my face.
My first fragrance choice for spring is Lavanila Laboratories Vanilla Blossom. Lavanila is specializing is creating dazzling scents based on vanilla. I’m also adding the new Vera Wang Truly Pink, Calvin Klein Euphoria Blossom, Givenchy Lovely Prism, and another bottle of With Love by Hillary Duff, which is my third bottle in six months, to finish my spring beauty look.

Please keep the beauty tips coming. I once had a hard time spending money on beauty products, but you make it very easy for me to purchase them now.

i have to admit im an advid reader of several different hip hop mag's, but by far Vixen is my fav. Its full of articles and info that young women can use and the stories printed have a different edge to them (more depth). its refreshing and vibrant, while celebrating and uplifting black women, that's the most important fact of all- oh and please believe i am a true vixen celebrating my culture hartaige and personal style- once a vixen always a vixen -jay
