2014 PROM

.

Dress For Prom it was all about the dress.

The Dillard’s prom fashion show recently had, teen girls walking the red carpet to showing off some of the 2014 Prom trends. “ Backless or dresses with backs that have straps, sequins and cutouts are what’s in,” says Brittney Howard, the special-occasion dress manager for Dillard’s at South Park mall. “Last year it was high-low hemlines.

Hair Since you finally picked out the dress of your dreams . Your hair should have complemented your dress, without competing with it. Hopefully your stylist worked with your hair texture…instead of against. Curly hair looks amazing either down or up.

Straight hair can be curled into waves and wound into ornate up-dos (with the help of pins and hairspray). Wavy hair can be either straightened or curled and is the perfect texture for half-up/half-down styles as well as updos.

Lips Bright lips have been a huge trend for 2013 and 2014. If you didn’t feel right about wearing fire engine red lips during the day. Bright pinks, bold reds, and dark auburns or en vogue would have done the trick. But finding the right one for your skin tone and that works with your dress.

Accessories Putting together the right accessories will compliment any occasion. But nothing is more important than prom night. Dressing up your look can go as far as the right shoes, handbag, jewelry, headbands and more… I am sure you didn’t go overboard but here are some highlights from PROM 2014

Men’s Hair Care

VITAMINS & MOISTURIZERS – Vitamins and moisturizers are the best solution in order to achieve healthy hairs. Lack of moisture and vitamins result in dull shine and can be broken easily. So treat your hairs by using shampoos and moisturizers which contain vitamins according to your hair type.

Avoid using shampoos which don’t match with your hair type n texture. Otherwise this can be very harmful for black men hair.

PRODUCT SELECTION – The Product selection is very important part of your hair care. Choose the products such as shampoos, conditioner etc. according to your hair type. I mean the products that suit your hair. Look for the products which are free of alcohol and such harmful chemicals which can harm your hair. Choosing the right product will be very beneficial for black men hair.

CHOOSE A STYLE – Choose a hair style for yourself which match your life style. Mostly it is recommended for black men hair to keep short haircut.. You should choose a hair style which matches and looks perfect with the shape of the face you have. If you are little bit confused which hair style suits you so your barber can give you some ideas on what works well for your hair type and face shape.

HAIR GROWTH – The main problem with black men hair is the growth problem. Black men hairs have slow growth of hair due to the breakage. Every person have different hair growth rate.

For growing healthy hair use a hair vitamin formulated to increase hair growth. This will also stop breakage of your hair. Avoid using Shampooing daily because it is the main cause of the breakage of hair. At least shampoo your hair twice a week.

Fashion Designer - Paris, France

We invent eco friendly fabrics from 12 natural resources, like Banana, Pineapple, Beachwood

Milkweed, Tapioca, Aloe Vera etc. which has never been done before.

The latest collections from the young Indian Eco Fashions Designer, Sruthi, was launched at the Portland Fashion Week.

Sruthi has spun sheer magic from more than eight natural fiber sources to create fabric that is light, exquisite and luxuriously stylish without the touch of artificiality that is usually reflected in the world of fashion.

The Indian designer behind the concept and the Eco-Fashion Luxury brand OWL Fashions, “To use unadulterated inspiration sourced from nature, to create and weave a guilt-free fabric of style, comfort, expression, and to give back to the Ecosystem even as we take from it... it has been a conscious effort and a real solution to the fashion world seeking intelligent, natural expression to being stylish.”

She inventeted extraordinary fabric from 8 natural sources like Pineapple, Beech wood, Banana ,milkweed, aloe vera, tapioca that no other has made before. She invented this to create natural, eco-friendly textiles that are funky, fun, frivolous and fashionable without taking away anything from the responsibility towards Earth and Nature.

Challenging as it may sound to imagine, the collection showcased an extraordinary range of fashion-wear that appealed to both the heart and the conscience at the same time.

By creating this new range of fashion she’s actually building a new industry too. The new Feather Philosophy of Fashion which Sruthi’s “Feather free Signature Collection” revives this concept of freedom, transforms it into designs that are at the zenith of vogues and are a joy to adorn. Feel free to be yourself and revel in the new freedom. Spread your wings, and simply soar into the skies. Sruthi says “Taste freedom. Taste lightness. Taste the new line of ready to wear in Feather free collections

Maintaining your braids • If your hair has been recently chemically processed, avoid putting in braid/weave/cornrow extensions for a least a month. By then you will have some new growth to fortify the chemically treated hair, which is by nature weaker and porous, stronger more resilient hair for braid/weave/cornrow extension to be attached to.

• Make sure your hair is in good condition before embarking on putting on braid/weave/cornrow extensions. If hair is weak, brittle, breaking and experiencing excessive shedding, the braid/weave/cornrow extensions will only exacerbate the situation. We tend to see braid/weave/cornrow extensions as a way of masking or covering hair issues, so we look presentable till the issue is resolved. This is not the case, the weight and mechanical tension of the braids will only put more traumas on the hair.

• Do not apply braid/weave/cornrow extensions that are too heavy for your hair, the rule of thumb should be that the hair to be applied should be about the same amount in thickness as the hair it is to be attached to, that is to say if you section out a pencil sized amount of your hair, then your will attach hair of a pencil size in thickness to it. Also try to make the length of the extension no more than two and a half times the length of your own hair. If you want to make the length longer, then the thickness of the attached hair should be less than the thickness of the section of hair you want to attach it to, (but keep in mind though that if your hair is naturally curly or kinky and in its natural curly or kinky state, this will start to look untidy after your first wash). The reason for being careful of the size and length of the hair you attach to your hair is rather simple; you do not want to put undue strain on your hair and hair follicles, by adding too much weight for the hair to bear. This will lead to breakage, shedding and Alopecia.

• Do not make the braid/weave/cornrow too tight. You do not want to sacrifice the health of your hair for style.

If the braid/weave/cornrow extensions are too tight, you could end up with tension alopecia. Trichologists claim that when this type of alopecia happens to the edges and nape it is possible with perseverance to grow the hair back, but if it happens in the center of your head this hair will never grow back. Make sure you insist to your stylist that you do not want the braids too tight.

• Before braiding prepare the hair for the application of the extensions. Fortify, strengthen and build up your strands with a deep conditioning protein treatment (leave on hair for at least 20 – 30 minutes under a steamer or heat cap, or an hour if using a shower cap, towel and body heat). Follow this with a deep moisturizing conditioner, (again leave on for the prescribed times mentioned for the protein deep conditioning), one that compromises of Shea Butter and Coconut, is a good one to go with for African American hair. Shea Butter for its moisturizing properties and ability to seal in moisture, and Coconut Oil for its ability to moisturize hair strands and transport protein into the hair shaft.

• When wearing your braids, wash your hair regularly, alternating between a light silicone free conditioner – co washing one week, and a sulphate free shampoo wash the next. This will prevent build up that can cause the hair to matt which will lead to tangles and hair breakage when you take out your braids. The best way to do this is to dilute the shampoo with water about 2 parts shampoo to one part water and put it in an applicator bottle. Wet hair thoroughly and apply the diluted shampoo to your scalp, use your finger pads to massage in gently and work into a lather, then rinse. During the rinsing the soapy water will work its way down the length of the braid and carry any dirt and oil with it.

• Deep condition your hair after every shampoo wash to replace oils removed. You can use a shorter lighter conditioner treatment for after a co wash.

• Seal in moisture after conditioning with a good water based moisturizer (this is moisturizer that has water as its first or one of its main ingredients).

• This however will NOT work on Caucasian hair. Try a dry shampoo to maintain cleanliness Suave and Pantene carry an awesome line of dry shampoo that absorbs excess oils and volumizes locks, making the hair look and smell fresh without having to wash.

Many products you might buy are common targets for unauthorized duplication, including artwork, autographed items and other memorabilia, cosmetics and perfumes, computer software, designer clothing, jewelry, music, videos, and sporting goods.

If you buy something assuming it’s the real McCoy and it’s not, you could face several problems.

Fakes might not last or perform as well as the genuine article, and they won’t be covered by a manufacturer’s warranty. They might not meet safety and environmental regulations, and there’s a greater chance they’re manufactured in unsafe and abusive conditions. And, of course, you’ll probably pay way too much.

Most manufacturers do not guarantee their shampoos, conditioners or other hair products unless consumers purchase them from "authorized retailers,” licensed salon or stylist. A lot of companies and salons will buy these products and sell them to businesses that don't have a license.

Become a counterfeit detective If you’re spending a lot of money and are concerned about counterfeit merchandise, do some research before buying an item so you’ll know how the real thing tends to differ from a fake. Some manufacturers offer advice on detecting and avoiding counterfeits on their company websites.

Look for security features To help consumers spot a fake, some manufacturers add something to their products that is hard to reproduce. Similarly, it’s a bad sign if a product is missing a certificate of authenticity or other assurance the manufacturer routinely provides. (But remember that such documentation can be fabricated as well.) You might be able to confirm that a certificate or product is genuine by contacting the manufacturer directly.

Examine it in person Shopping online is convenient, but you can’t inspect the product closely, feel it, or otherwise examine it the way you can in a store. Instead, you must rely on the seller’s description and photos, which can be as bogus as the product itself.

Beware of ultra-low prices and risky sellers A company charging significantly less for an item than other retailers should raise a red flag that something’s amiss.

Also avoid risky sellers. If you want the real thing it’s not a good idea to buy from street vendors, traveling salespeople, or unknown sellers who hawk their products on auction websites. You should also be cautious about buying goods at going-out-of-business sales. Once the seller is gone, you might be unable to get satisfaction if you later discover that the product is a cheap imitation.

Never underestimate yourself by comparing yourself with others. It’s our differences that make you unique and beautiful

I started taking pictures when I was 13 and was given my first camera by my dad. It was a Minolta SRT 201 with three lenses. My first chance to use it was in Georgia on a vacation with some family members and a friend. Out of the five rolls we brought, only a single picture came out. Instead of looking at it as a failure, I saw it as a chance to really try and get good at something. Through the years I managed to get a little more patient in making the pictures and had more and more pictures coming out. I found an entire new realm of possibilities and ideas once I got a newer camera, the Minolta Maxxum 5. New lenses and a snappy auto-focus blew open the world for me. It wasn’t soon after that I found about a local competition hosted by Boyd Hill Nature Park. I decided to enter a picture I had taken at the Savage River in Maryland and walked with third place. The next year I took second and honorable mention. Since those early days I’ve learned it’s not the camera the person has, but the skill and eye they’ve acquired over their own personal journey behind the camera. I’m almost completely self taught, having taken one class in my early twenties and learning everything else from either experience, reading, or comparative sessions with friends. I started doing primarily scenic pictures when I was first starting out. Since then, I have branched out into anything and everything I could; cityscapes, fire dancers, abstract architecture and angles, and lately the people inhabiting the cities, with street musicians becoming a quick favorite of mine recently. Even now, if I don’t have a camera on me, I find myself breaking down scenes into photographic elements. My inspiration is showing people hopefully something they have never seen, enough to get a reaction from them, and for them to stop and stare.

The different words for henna in ancient languages imply that henna had more than one point of discovery and origin, and different pathways of daily and ceremonial use. With its artistic application on the skin, henna has become an important expression of grand culture.

The earliest known evidence of henna being used was discovered on the hands of Egyptian mummies from 5,000 years ago. Henna was celebrated by most groups in the areas where henna grew naturally: Jews, Muslims, Hindus, among others, all celebrated marriages by adorning the bride, and often the groom, with henna.

Across the henna-growing region, Henna has been used to adorn young women's bodies as part of social and holiday celebrations for centuries. Even favorite horses, donkeys, and salukis had their hooves, paws, and tails henna'ed. Battle victories, births, circumcision, birthdays, Zar, as well as weddings, usually included some henna as part of the celebration. Where there was joy, there was henna.

Henna was regarded as having "Barakah," blessings, and was applied for luck as well as joy and beauty. Brides typically had the most henna, and the most complex patterns, to support their greatest joy, and wishes for luck. Some bridal traditions were very complex, such as those in Yemen, where the Jewish bridal henna process took four or five days to complete, with multiple applications and resist work.

Henna is now commercially cultivated in western India, Pakistan, Morocco, Yemen, Iran, Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, Egypt, and Banglades. Though henna has been used for body art and hair dye since the Bronze Age, henna has had a recent renaissance in body art due to improvements in cultivation, processing, and the emigration of people from traditional henna using regions.

is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” — Aaron Siskind

Most of us have had puffy eyes at some time in our lives. Late nights might cause some people’s eyes to puff up on occasion, but for others, puffiness might be something they have to deal with on a daily basis. Puffiness, sagging, wrinkles and dark circles are every woman’s nightmare. Whether it’s an early morning business meeting or an evening out, we all want to look bright, rested and lively.

Puffiness and other under-eye problems can not only make you look less attractive, they can also diminish your confidence.

What causes under-eye problems? Lack of sleep, poor diet, stress and an erratic lifestyle are the most common causes of puffiness and other under-eye problems. Poor sleep habits and stress are directly related to puffiness and dark circles. An unbalanced diet, dehydration and excessive consumption of alcohol are also known to cause puffy eyes.

So how do you combat these problems? There are three ways to deal with puffiness: natural remedies, makeup tricks and lifestyle changes. Each of these will help you counter puffiness and other problems, but a combination of the three will ensure that puffiness is reduced to just a distant, faintly unpleasant memory.

Commercially available eye-patches and eye-masks can do wonders for puffy eyes – they hydrate the eye area and give you a radiant appearance. Antioxidant-rich creams are ideal to battle fine lines and sagginess. They stimulate the production of collagen and help the skin retain it. Keep an eye out for products containing extracts of chamomile, green tea and emblica, as well as those containing vitamins A, C and E.

For those of you who’d rather deal with puffiness the natural way, chilled cucumber or potato slices placed over the eyes can help lessen puffiness. Chilled tea-bags will also do the trick. Cucumber has anti-inflammatory properties, while tea-bags, especially green and chamomile tea, have antioxidants and caffeine that will soothe your eyes and reduce the inflammation. Used regularly, these remedies can make you look (and feel) brighter and fresher.

Steps in making puffiness vanish with makeup 1.

Under-eye cream: Apply a light cream and let the skin absorb it before you apply anything else. You might want to try an under-eye moisturizer with almond oil – it is light and keeps the skin supple, reducing the appearance of fine lines. It also helps to lighten skin color and is ideal for those with dark circles, especially if used on a regular basis.

2. Concealer: Use a concealer with a light-weight formulation to camouflage the area under the eyes. It’s important to use a shade that’s as close to your natural skin color as possible. A motley of different concealers are available, including waterproof variants and palettes, which let you mix different shades until you find one that’s perfect. Use a small brush to apply and blend in the concealer – avoid using your fingers. Our pro makeup kits also include a Color Corrector Quad. The yellow color minimizes dark circles.

3.

Bronzer: Experts recommend using a bronzer to minimize the appearance of puffiness. Use a matte finish bronzer on your cheeks and sweep it upwards with a brush onto the under-eye area to make the bags disappear. Make sure you don’t use a shimmery bronzer – it will only accentuate the puffiness.

4. Translucent powder: Dust the under-eye area with translucent powder, using a wide, feathery brush. A wide brush will give a light, even coverage that’s imperceptible.

5.

Mascara: Use an eyelash curler to curl your lashes and apply a couple of coats of your favorite mascara. Eyes lined with thick lashes will draw attention away from any puffiness underneath.

Changing your lifestyle makes a huge difference: Get a good night’s rest, drink plenty of water And have a balanced diet.

If you’re inclined to retain fluids, use an extra pillow to elevate your head at night. This will make the fluids drain downwards, away from your face.

If you’re suffering from dark circles without the puffiness, try dusting your concealer with a soft powder highlighter; this will conceal the dark circles, as well as brighten the under-eye area. Avoid using a powder with too much shine – it might give the term “starry-eyed” a whole new meaning.

Raw egg whites are an excellent way to smooth the area under the eyes. Separate the white from the yolk and apply a little under the eyes. Wash off with cold water and pat dry. As it dries, the egg-white will tighten your skin, giving it a smooth appearance. Using egg-whites can help you reduce fine lines and increase circulation in the under-eye area.

If puffy eyes prove to be a bad start to your day and you dread looking at yourself in the mirror, then follow these tips and you’ll soon find yourself looking bright and healthy. The makeup tips will help you cover up unsightly bags and dark circles temporarily; however, the key to looking good is to treat your body well – make sure you get enough sleep, water and nutrition, and you will reap the benefits for years to come.

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. –Napoleon Hill

6 steps for maintaining curly Hair

4. Shampooing to a Minimum Shampooing your hair should be kept to a minimum, once a week or better yet twice a month. I know it sounds wrong but the ingredients found in store shelf shampoos are just horrible for your luscious curls. If you find that you have a lot of product buildup by week’s end, I suggest diluting your existing shampoo

5. Say No to Elastics Avoid hair elastics! I know the first idea that comes to mind on these types of days is putting your hair up and out of your way.

But promise me you will put it in a loose braid or even a bun held together with a clip. Elastics will pull at the top layer of your hair, breaking any of your hairs that are dry or frail and although it may look like a sister could afford losing a few hairs‌ I cherish every one of them.

6. Pick Vs. Brush

Throw your hair brushes away and buy yourself a good pick or wide-toothed comb . A pick leaves the curl much more intact rather than a brush, which separates them, causing major frizz.
