CoverGirl Features First Model with Vitiligo

March 1, 2018 by Alisha 13 Comments

If you’ve been with me for awhile you’ll recall when I first shared that Morgan had developed vitiligo.  At the time I was mad, confused and felt guilty like it was something I had done.  We all know how people can be sometimes by staring and asking questions in a very rude manner.  I decided to educate myself more about vitiligo and I made sure that my main focus would be on celebrating how unique my daughter is and not harp on her differences.

Morgan

Over the last 3 years not only has her self esteem not wavered, I feel like she is so much more outgoing (and definitely more outspoken).  From the beginning, I wanted to make sure that Morgan was able to see other people from all over the world just like her!  And can you believe that as big as the vitiligo community is it only makes up 1-2% of the world’s population.  Thanks in part to Instagram I’ve had a chance to “meet” some pretty amazing people.

A little over a week ago one of the people I follow shared an image of Amy Deanna.  This beautiful young lady was just named as the first CoverGirl model with vitiligo!  Can I just tell you that I screamed for joy like she was family?!?!  For over 20 years CoverGirl’s trademark slogan had been “Easy, breezy, beautiful…CoverGirl!”  Last fall they released their new theme I Am What I Makeup.  This new branding is meant to evoke confidence, power, inclusivity, and self-expression.   [Read more…]

Get Ready for Spring with Kiyonna Dresses

February 22, 2018 by Alisha Leave a Comment

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to tell Old Man Winter he can kick rocks and bring on Spring! Okay, we still have a few more weeks until it’s officially spring, but that doesn’t mean we can’t prepare. It’s time to start thinking about warmer days and cute dresses. Thanks to Kiyonna.com, you can start your spring shopping now!

Since 1996, Kiyonna Clothing has been a leader in the plus-size industry and a favorite online destination for curve-flattering styles. Proudly made in the USA, their collection ranges from size 10-32 and feature classic style for the modern woman.

For spring, florals are always a go-to for women and Kiyonna has some on-trend options to die for. Available in three floral options, the Flirty Flounce Wrap Dress is a season must-have ($96). This true wrap allows for a custom fit and features beautiful cascading ruffles along the hem. Another style to look at is the Weekend Wrap Dress available in, the very appropriate, Spring Flora ($106). With a color contrasting neckline and hems to tone down the floral, you’ll love the dramatic sleeves and defining waist of this fully functional wrap dress. For date night, slip into the Stop and Stare Ruched Dress ($108). With contrasting panels for an hourglass shape, your curves are bound to turn heads in this sexy number.

Is Winter Making Your Hands Look Like You’ve Been Playing in Flour?

January 18, 2018 by Alisha 6 Comments

Seriously, Old Man Winter has been doing a number on my skin lately.  I live in Tennessee which most of you would think that means “Hey she lives in the south, what is she belly aching about?”  Yeah, that’s what I thought too when I moved here from Washington, D.C.

Now as one who loves sharing all of my crazy nail art and at-home manis, having dry, crusty nails is something I don’t want and it’s sure as heck something none of you want to see.  For me my skin regimen changes drastically once the temps start to drop below 45-50.  During this time the heat is on full blast and that just means forced hot air is sucking up every bit of moisture that I might have had to begin with.  Now if you’re fortunate enough to live in a climate where you’ll pretty much get all 4 seasons in a week, you have to pay even more attention to how you deal with your skin.  Julep was awesome enough to send me this awesome infographic for tips on how to winterize your nails: [Read more…]
