Last night, I stepped out in the name of @FashionBombHair to see what new developments Dark & Lovely had on tap!
The legacy brand, which celebrated 47 years in the business, refreshed their logo and revamped a few of their bestselling products to have a modern and fresh feel.
Bombers, Bombshells, influencers, and legends convened at the Mercantile Gallery to celebrate beauty, hair and style. Take a look:
Songstress Elle Varner embraced fall tones in a black look topped off with a burgundy hat.
Bombshell @SryMae showed off a popping red haircut, refreshed with Dark & Lovely’s Fade Resist hair color.
I was loving @CinderAri‘s purple mane. The color came courtesy of Dark & Lovely of course!
When all else fails, black hair always makes a strong and chic statement! Yes to these curly tresses!
It was a fun time!
I touched base with Dark & Lovely resident hair expert Derick Monroe, who recommended I try the color Crimson Moon for the New Year!
I also said hey to members of the Dark & Lovely team including Erica Culpepper, Dark & Lovely ambassador Kela Walker, legendary fashion writer Constance White, and more.

A night in can be just as great as a night out, and why shouldn’t it be? When it’s getting colder and the nights start creeping in, it can seriously put you off going out for the night and make you want to stay in, but this doesn’t mean you can’t have a good time and make a memorable evening of it with your friends! There are plenty of things you can do on a night-in to make it just as fun as a night on the town, you’ll just be much warmer!
Invite your Friends Over
Make it an occasion. If you want to, dress up to the nines with your friends and it won’t just feel like any other hang out session. Instead, it’ll feel like an event because that’s what it is.
Cook Dinner
Even if you don’t want your night in to be a dinner party, cooking a homemade meal for your friends is a great way to show them you love them, and it’s much healthier than takeout. You could even invite a few of your best cook friends over earlier to get them to help you with the preparation. It doesn’t have to be 5-star standard food, however, as home comforts go a long way.
Bring out the Wine
Wine is essential for a night in! Get out your best wine glasses and cheers to your fantastic friends. Wine Gift Baskets are a great way to stock up for the evening with delicious wine. There won’t be a drop left afterward, but that just shows how good the wine is, and how much of a great time you’re having.
Play Party Games
After you’ve all eaten well, you’ll want to have some entertainment to laugh the night away. Classic party games are a real winner and staple for having a great night in. You could play some beer pong if you feel like reminiscing on all your college days or create something entirely new to remember your night by.
Have Enough Seating
Sitting on the floor is fine for a college party, but when you’re past that, your guests will want something firm to sit on. If you have any spare chairs out in the garage or in storage, bring them out so that all of your guests will feel welcome and don’t end up perching on the edge of seats. They’ll feel more comfortable and relaxed, so you can all have a great time.
Set a Time
When you go out for the evening, you would usually set a time to meet, and a night in shouldn’t be any different. If you plan to have dinner ready for a certain time, tell your guests to arrive around then. You don’t want to be too vague and have people turning up when the food’s gone cold.

A night in can be a wonderful way to spend precious time with your friends, whether you decide to go classy or comfortable, you’ll have a night to remember!

Aloha! I go by Yabbi and I am a New York metropolitan based blogger but I enjoy calling myself a global citizen. Okay now that the icebreaker is out the way, let’s jump into this #Yabventure The Bomb Life travel destination. Hawaii is a place that is well known for its newly weds and honeymooners. Oahu is the appropriate mixture of natural landmark beauties and phenomenal beaches. This explains why it has 1.2 million residents in the state and the population is so dense in Oahu.
I’m giving you all the deets on what to do in Oahu from hiking, dining areas, and how to avoid getting your car towed. Haha…no but seriously.
Hawaii consists of 137 islands but there are 8 main ones: Hawaii ( aka the Big Island,) Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, Niihau, Kahoolawee. I stayed in Oahu and I was in the midst of Honolulu and Wakiki because I stayed in the center of downtown Wakiki.
Where to stay:
When planning an adventure, depending on where I am going, I set a list of what kind of feels I want to get from that destination. I ask myself do I want a luxurious feel, local vibe or aesthetically pleasing location? When booking the hotel for Hawaii I knew I wanted to stay where everything is and near the beaches of course, so I opted for downtown. Downtown has a beach? Yes it does. A few feet from my hotel room there’s a beach and it was a perfect coordination of city and island.
What to do:
Yes, Hawaii is part of American soil but I personally feel like it is its own remote country. Hawaiians have their own culture that they never tucked away. Though I was downtown I did not eat much local food plus I am a creature of habitat but of course I had some of the best pineapple smoothies since that is a fruit they are known for most in Hawaii.
I wanted to explore almost everywhere on the island so my cousin and I rented a car through Turo. Before leaving for Hawaii we both knew we wanted a jeep wrangler in Hawaii. We saw so many jeep wranglers we had to start counting how many jeep wranglers we saw a day. P.S Turo is the airbnb for cars, thank me later.
Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden. Turo Car
What not to do is expect Hawaii to be budget friendly. I would always hear people that have never been to Hawaii say Hawaii is expensive…and yes they were not lying. A preparation tip that I can give you is to bring quarters and lots of them. Parking meters can be up to $3 USD for an hour of parking. Uber/ lyft rides can be more pricey.
FYI for my fellow vloggers and people who like to document their life, as beautiful as Hawaii is, there are many locations that are not drone friendly and some that strictly abandon drone usage and the consequences can be a heavy fine. You do have to keep in mind Hawaii has a big military base and we do not want our military to mistake a drone for a threat. I would like for you to return to your friends and family in one piece.
Where to go:
Byodo-In Temple Kaneohe, HI
Some places I went to that resonated with me were Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden, Byodo-In Temple, and Diamond Head. Byodo-In Temple is a beautiful temple and it is very similar to the one in Kyoto, Japan. Not many people are aware that this sight is in Hawaii. Funny enough, shortly after visiting this temple Chris Brown drops his music video ‘Autumn Leaves’ and instantly I knew it was Hawaii he shot the video.
.
There are many hiking trails in Hawaii. Diamond head was a precious gem because you are hiking a crater. Interesting fact: Diamond Head was created from volcanic eruptions. You can see visuals of all of these places in my Hawaii vlog Part 1 and Part 2.
I would have wanted to do Haiku Stairs, better known as Stairway to Heaven because when you are hiking you are literally in the clouds. Very dangerous and illegal hike but people do it. These three places I listed are a must see and of course we can’t forget about Pearl Harbor.
You can see more posts and videos on my social media handles and Youtube
Also Read up on my blog on other travel destinations that I have been in recent years. Possibly a potential vacation you are planning is already up on my blog www.yabbiyab.com
Halloween is just around the corner and almost everybody is starting to prepare for this beloved holiday. However, everyone tends to find inspiration in things such as mythology or thriller or any kind of made-up characters that we’ve seen in countless fairy tales, Sci-fi shows, and whatnot.
But, what if you could choose a costume that would go directly with your tastes in entertainment? What if you could go to that local Halloween party dressed as something giving a strong casino vibe?
In this article, we will give you some ideas on how you can create some of the most interesting and eye-catching costumes for yourself as well as your friends. Some of them will indeed be based on Sci-fi or fantasy characters, but hey, as long as they correlate with anything relevant to a casino, they’re alright in our books.
So, without further ado, let’s begin.
Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland
It’s always nice to have some kind of source material and not have to do anything from scratch right? Well, the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland is probably one of the best inspirations you can take from a fantasy movie or fairy tale.
Although it’s not directly outlined in the story that Red Queen represents the queen of hearts, it’s very heavily hinted at it. The overall shape of her hair, the color of the dress and the small hearts sewn inside the dress.
It would be just as easy to simply change the color pallet and turn it into something like the Black Queen, where the red is replaced with black, and the emphasis on the hearts is replaced with an emphasis on spades.
Pinterest seems to agree with us on this idea, as there’s a bunch of dresses to be seen in the source we found there.
We believe it would be an amazing costume worthy of applause from everybody else.
A slot machine
As goofy as it may sound, there are actually costumes out there that you can either make, rent or buy that are basically interactive slot machines, well at least according to Casinopånett they are so, why not use them for a fun party.
The costume is very simple and isn’t necessarily designed for just women or just men. It’s pretty unisex.
However, make sure that when you’re designing the costume, you make sure that it’s interactive and can actually spin the reels if somebody pulls the lever. If you check the source, you’ll find out that it makes for a really nice ice breaker with strangers and an even better tool for playing games with friends at a party.
A roulette dress
Finally, let’s finish off this article with another dress for our female readers. The idea of the dress is pretty simple.
Imagine something which has the shape of a cone that has been cut off in the middle. You turn it upside down and simply mark it with the red, black and green colors that are present in roulette games.
If you’re extra dedicated to making it as perfect as possible, you can simply make this part of the dress from a special type of fabric that will allow a ball to spin and land on specific parts, thus creating a roulette from scratch of sorts.
Believe us when we say that this costume will definitely but you in the center of attention.
