I'm still counting down to some of my favorite fashion and beauty products, which I mentioned before is called "My Fall Favorites".  So second on my list is one of the most coveted items in hair removal, the  Emjoi eRase e60. 

      This device is an amazing hair remover with 60 tweezer action discs to ensure rapid and non-irritating hair removal from the root for up to 6 weeks.  With precision hair removal technology removing hair from the root it has never been easier or more accurate. Dual opposed heads stretch the skin to help pull the hair from the root.

     I personally started using the  Emjoi eRase e60 and I came across the problem of extreme pain and I consider myself to be pretty tolerable of pain. So I immediatly went to the user manual to read the instructions and figured out a solution, one note I will leave for future purchasers is to read the instructions before operating because that made all the difference in my experience. I know from experience that an open pore is best when removing hair and the easiest way to open a pore is through wetting the skin. So I got into a hot shower and saturated my skin for a bit (which the manual mentions, lol) then I came out towel dried the excess water off of my skin and used the  Emjoi eRase e60 and it worked so much better!! The pain was minimal and the hair was removed, and that was exactly 6 days ago which is a record for me because my hair usually grows back 2 days later, and at this moment I'm still smooth!!

    Overall this product does exactly what it prescribes to do and if you're a hairy person like me I think you should invest in it, no mess from waxing or cream removers just smooth skin, and don't let the winter time stop you, smooth legs are a year round accessory!!

With everything that's happening now in the world it appears the times we're living in are becoming more and more hopeless. The problems are all over the news, the topic on the tips of everyone's tongues, the headlining discussion at most public events, on the television, and in the hearts and minds of the people. So I asked God what can we as a body of people do to change this? With most of the world being hurt, angry, and afraid how can they believe that YOUR LOVE DOES CONQUER ALL, and that if we just spread a little more of that each day rather than fear and hate, things CAN turn around for our GOOD?  Everyone has there own way, but I believe the ONLY WAY is CHRIST, which is the word LOVE manifested into flesh. The miracles performed in his lifetime and on the cross of calvary changed the way we exist today, and gives us a promise for a hopeful future. My aim in life is to let the winds of the Holy Spirit lead me and not the fear of this world. I want to spend the rest of my life uniting with my brothers and sisters praying with/for one another and loving the human race back to life!

Having this Blog has placed me one step closer to achieving that dream. I've met so many people and companies along this journey that make it possible for this "Love Train" to stay in motion. lol!  I've recently collaborated with a company called  THE MINT JULEP they created their online shop in 2012 and since then it has taken the world by storm, and with a mission of   "We had an idea that would solve a problem, be fun, be social, and, when it boils down to it, make people happy."  how can they not succeed!!!!!!? Spreading love and being FABULOUS while doing it is what I'm alllllllllll about! 

The look I chose from their collection is the "Make it Mine Jumpsuit" because you all know that I was created to wear jumpsuits lol, paired with a vintage sleeveless jacket, and double necklaces.  Check it out below and go shop the look RIGHT NOW, you won't regret it!

THE COLLECTION

This show overall was one of the most entertaining shows I experienced during fashion week.  It was a compilation of designers that superceeded my expectation.  From the gowns to the coats, cocktail dresses and Avate Garde pieces there was never a dull moment.  One thing that I loved was the variety of models on the runway  it was such a refreshing thing to witness, seeing as how it’s not the norm on most runways.  There was something for every type of girl!


THE BEAUTY BAR

The New York Life beauty look was spring chic, it  embodied all things girly.  The hair was styled in a braided crown that framed the models faces with loose pieces that complimented the all apparent softness of the show.  I was rather impressed by the makeup because it was a neutral look that worked on all of the girls, the same warm tone shades carried a similar message of effortless chic through  out all the skin tones.  New York Life gets the awared for diversity!!!

THE COLLECTION

If I could describe this collection in two words it will have to be, “everyday minimal.”  It was so effortless, from the styling, to the fabric choice, to the color palette, it took me back to a time in  life where things made sense and were simple.  Back when putting on clothes didn’t really have a right or wrong way, a time where cool sneakers and colorful tights were ALWAYS in.  A time where being cool was a lifestyle inherited from your youth #thecoolkids!!

THE BEAUTY BAR

The Ready-to- Fish look as Benny Hancock describes, was based on a clean fresh out of the shower look that still yields a bit of structure which was shown through the contour of the jaw line, filler lines and brow gel were added to strengthen the brows, while the lashes were merged together to finish the eye look.  The lips were achieved with two colors, a nude liner filled in with a pink lipstick. The look is something that was so effortless looking that anyone can re-create it at home!

EVERY YEAR THE WOMEN OF NEW YORK LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE FUTURE........THIS IS KNOWN AS...... FASHION WEEK!!!  (Carrie Bradshaw).

On the 5th day of fashion week my true love yes indeed I went from the runway to real life, did make-up for BruceGlen, got a handful of popcorn, alot of Swaroski crystals, the best gift bag ever, went to Tommy Hilfiger who took me to an 80's rock concert alongside Anna Wintour, attended Mark and Estel, Luis Antonio, took a cab to Lincoln Center, got my ticket and a Kefir smoothieeeee.
On the last day of fashion week my true love yes indeed at J.Mendel I sat in the lap of luxury, went from the runway to real life, did make-up for BruceGlen, got a handful of popcorn, alot of Swarovski Crystals, the best gift bag ever, went to Tommy Hilfiger who took me to an 80's rock concert alongside Anna Wintour, attended Mark and Estel, Luis Antonio, took a cab to Lincoln Center, got my ticket and a Kefir smoothieeeee!!!!!

         The BruceGlen presentation welcomed me with open arms as I exited the elevator, all I needed was one glance of the room and I was immediately taken back to my childhood. With a table covered in sweets and decadence from miniature cupcakes, to twisted lollipops, chocolate waterfalls, cotton candy and a lot of smiling faces.  Even if no clothes showed up to this party I would have been satisfied, but to my surprise down a clear glass staircase came an army of models wrapped in fabric that seemed like it was molded to their bodies.  The looks were a mash up of textures, skins, and layers of fabrication strategically chosen to serve their own purpose.
          BruceGlen's presentation took me on a joy ride through the spirit realm back to earth.  The collection dances in the metallic sun, while drawing its inspiration from the traditional Indian Sari's mixed with the cool streets of New York, giving birth to a new way to add textures and layers to the most chic of wardrobes. And the SHOES, a genius collaboration with Nina Shoes and Swarovski! It was hard trying to pick my favorite look from the presentation, so I'll leave it for you guys to decide, WELCOME TO THE JOYRIDE, Population: EVERYONE!!!!

XOXO

New York is the state of mind that I keep, with cool vibes and concrete grooving beneath my feet, I dance with no particular beat to my drums.  Most girls just wanna have fun, but I use my time changing the world, being an influencer wrap in DIAMONDS and PEARLS, I hope to age with strength just like you.  I heard if I can make it with you I can make it anywhere, highly favored and blessed, you might not think its fair but I do!  We were forced into a predestined, pre-determined sort of an arranged kinda marriage, but the one playing the cards had both of our bests in mind.  You see whatever my father does, is always done with a purpose, even if we couldn't tell this whole time.  The plan for my existence etched out in the book of life, which causes me to walk by faith and not sight, but never looking back this whole time.  As HIS wind blows me through this concrete jungle called New York, I'll shine bright like your Diamond in the SKY!!!

My look is casual today, my denim jacket is from Aliexpress.com, my jeans are by Vigoss, my white blouse is from Ross, and the black one is from Burlington CF.  Tights H&M and shoes Payless...lol doesnt it feel good to pay less......bwwwwahahah, had to put that in there!  Be Blessed! Peace!!
