Hey Pretty Lady!!

Neutrals

I’m sure the summer heat has kept you from your normal makeup regimen. Summer makeup needs are particularly different than any other season. I’m sure you are already familiar with what this heat can do to a beautifully made-up face. Here are a few suggestions for getting pretty these dog days of summer: *Clean your face thoroughly before and after applying makeup. Make sure you use a moisturizer that has some sunscreen protection because even though African Americans have more pigmentation in our skin we still need protection from the sun. *Less is more: go for the natural look this summer which means less use of your normal foundation and more use of powder or bronzer powder. Too much foundation can cause you to look oily and could end in…

Relationships: One to Many A Packaged Deal A package is usual a box or container that holds one or more things, whether it be clothing, household goods, or even a parent and their child(children). So this is for all my SINGLE MOTHERS; not baby mamas; but the ones that are keeping their children first. When I say first, I mean, who don’t put men before them, don’t stay out late on school nights because you have to get up to make sure they get to school on time, not looking for a sugar daddy or support system, the mothers that realize that once they had children they have to set aside childish ways, a GOOD mother. This is for the young and old alike because there are some women that feel…

Praying for Guidance

Pinks

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace” Colossians 3:15 NIVDo you ever feel like you go through life constantly scrambling around in circles? Do you find yourself feeling like you’re being pulled in a million different directions? This can take a toll on your life and also cause stress and confusion. Instead of trying to figure things out on your own or consulting people who may not have your best interest in mind, why not look to God for guidance! Here’s my testimony:Earlier this year I felt very lost in life. I no longer felt that I was on the path in life that God desired me to be on. I became very unhappy in my current…

Relationships: One to ManyA Good Distant Love In 2005, according to The Center for the Study of Long Distance Relationships an estimated 2.9% of US marriages were considered long distance, with 1 in 10 marriages reported to have included a period at long distance within the first 3 years. This means that in 2005 approximately 3,500,000 people in the US alone were involved in long-distance marriages. It is harder to know precisely how many non-married couples are in a long distance relationship but according to The Center for the Study of Long Distance Relationships there was an estimated 4 to 4.5 million college couples in the US which were in non marital LDRs. These LDRs are due to social, environmental and economic factors such as participation in the military, studying…

Inspiration to Fathers

Pinks

Men are the epitome of strength and maturity. But some of the young mothers of our generation threaten those qualities. I’ve had the unfortunate opportunity to know, personally, some of these women who will drag a man through cracks just to prove a point. And let’s just suffice it to say that I don’t associate myself with those women anymore. I’m not saying that all men possess these qualities. But I’m sure you can think of some who do. All it takes is one look to know that he feels defeated and at a loss of what to do. That look, that is the equivalent of a movie. Where you can see everything his mouth can’t say but his heart is screaming to let out. Because he’s underappreciated and treated…

Health tips and advice for Men

Neutrals

Father’s Day is less than a week away, and in addition to giving our father’s their favorite brand of cologne, a nice pair of shoes, or a stylish new outfit, it is also a great time to remind the special men in our lives of the importance of their health. We want them around for many more years to come. It is no secret that getting men to go to the doctor is not an easy task. Most men don’t like going. A recent CDC study states that women are 33% more likely to visit a doctor than men. The CDC also states that on average women survive men by over five years. The Men’s Health Network states that men die at a higher rate than women from the top ten…
