One of the best perks of running Fashion Bomb Daily is getting to meet and sit down with amazing people! Yesterday, I had the pleasure of chatting with reality starlet, fashionista, author, and Cubana Juju about her book, Secrets of a Jewel.

The fictional book seeks to impart key life lessons via a series of short stories. I haven’t started diving in yet, but I’m sure it’s a good read!

Aside from book chat, Juju and I talked about her favorite products (Burt’s Bee’s lip balm), work out tips (it’s all about what you eat!), and how to maintain a high profile relationship (keep your private moments PRIVATE!). You guys also engaged us with great questions. See the Facebook video here:

During our chat, she also revealed that Love and Hip Hop hasn’t changed her life much. Because she’s friends with Yandy and Kimbella, going on set is a joy. She just stays far away from the drama and has a good time.

For our interview, she slipped on a Bomb dress by Intertwine Collection and Tory Burch shoes. I rocked a Gucci tee, Zara skirt, Prada sandals, and a Balmain blazer.

Though I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to video, IG Live was a fun experience. Maybe every Friday at 5pm, we can interview someone cool? Hmm…

If you tuned in, what did you think of our IG and FB live videos?
*Pick up Juju’s book at SecretsofaJewel.com.
*I took a few pix of my ensemble after we were done and ran into Emil Wilbekin !

Allow me to introduce you to my new faves: Gucci oversized glitter sunglasses. I’ve been bitten by the Gucci bug, so shoot me!
