Curel Hydra Therapy: Chatting with a Dermatologist

It’s week 4 of working with & testing out Curél Hydra Therapy! And I’m sure a lot of you may have questions about how exactly this whole system works.

I spoke with a dermatologist to get to the bottom of why this new way of application is a great alternative to maintain fabulously flawless, hydrated skin.

I spoke with Dr. Michelle Henry (she makes a cameo in my video here) to discuss:

She said, “Ceramides are the vital building blocks to maintaining your skin’s moisture. They’re naturally present in healthy skin, but when they’re lost, skin becomes dry & damaged. That’s why I recommend Curél® HYDRA THERAPY WET SKIN MOISTURIZER. Its water-activated formula has an Advanced Ceramide Complex which penetrates to the source of dryness and helps to replenish your skin’s ceramide levels and ultimately repair the moisture barrier.”


Well, there you have it!

If you’d like to give Curel a try, visit here. Also, be sure to check out my video below (if you haven’t seen it already!).

Lookbook: Tracy Reese x Gwynnie Bee

First Lady Michelle Obama, Yara Shahidi, Taraji P. Henson, Camila Alves—Tracy Reese is no stranger to designing for powerful young ladies and women. Known for her signature dresses, she’s also been one of the leaders in the industry when it comes to putting real women on the runway, as well as becoming a champion for size inclusivity with her eponymous collection. Her latest endeavor is a collaboration with curvy online clothing brand Gwynnie Bee:

“People have asked for [these sizes for] years, almost since we started doing business at all, and traditional contemporary departments just go from 0 to 12 — it’s always been really frustrating,” Reese told Fashionista in an interview. “This is something I’ve been wanting to do for so long, and with Gwynnie Bee, what was so amazing is their technical expertise and their eye for fit for this range of customer is so spot-on.”

The brand and Reese aligned on a mix of styles that were pulled from Plenty by Tracy Reese Spring 2017, as well as designs that fit perfectly alongside Gwynnie Bee’s collection for the season. And the designer’s next move? Having a myriad of curvy sizes featured on contemporary floors. “I’m so heartened that she can go online with Gwynnie Bee and find our stuff, or come to this fantastic pop-up and try stuff on and get to know the brand,” she exclaimed.

On the Scene: The Promise Hollywood Premiere with Kim Kardashian in Vintage Gianni Versace, Charlotte Le Bon in Rasario, Dania Ramirez, and More!

The Promise Hollywood Premiere brought out a Kardashian duo, legend, and some of our favorite actresses and style stars.

Let’s get into the night’s looks!

Kim Kardashian was gilded in a vintage gold, sleeveless turtleneck, maxi dress from Gianni Versace. Hot!

Kourtney Kardashian was suited up in all-black. Simple and chic, no?

Charlotte Le Bon went glam in a ruffled, off-the-shoulder Rasario gown with a thigh-high slit. This was gorgeous.

Dania Ramirez flaunted her toned gams in a white short set with contrast black trim.

Angela Sarafyan sizzled in a sheer black lace embroidered Reem Acra design. Exquisite!

Maria Menounos toughened up a white culotte jumpsuit with black accents.

Kara del Toro was smoldering in a long-sleeve, sheer embellished piece. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but she pulled this off perfectly.

Nina Dobrev gave a fun spin to the classic black and white palette with an embellished David Koma look. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a look from Koma that I haven’t loved!

A Girlfriends Guide to Divorce star Necar Zadegan was pretty in a striped flounce hem frock.

And last, but never least was Cher who looked every bit the icon in an embellished beret, chainmail top, graphic black leather biker jacket, and black trousers. She’s flawless!

Throwback Thursdays #TBT: The Style Evolution of Mel B

The mid to late 90’s were interesting years to say the least. Pop music became a worldwide phenomenon, and the sensation that is the Spice Girls took the world by storm. Platinum albums, sold out shows, dolls, and movies, they broke records all in the name of girl power. Thankfully, one of our faves from the group is still going strong delivering look after look as she co-judges two of the most watched talent shows on television. Today, it’s all about Mel B, formerly known as Scary Spice, and we wouldn’t “wanna” have it any other way.
Mel B has always been the fearless one of the bunch, especially when it comes to fashion. During the Spice Girls era, she sported lots of high voltage, midriff bearing looks. Leather, metallic separates and touches of leopard print were often the menu for her. Paired with funky platforms and her signature curly ‘fro, she was an immediate standout.


  Though the group disbanded many moons ago, Mel B has stood the test of time and has made a major name for herself in the entertainment industry. As one of the judges of America’s Got Talent and X Factor, to say she keeps a busy schedule is an understatement. Despite it all, she manages to turn out flawless looks everytime she steps out.

 For daytime, a good pair of jeans, a crisp jacket and Louboutins tend to be her steeze, but she’s not one to be pigeonholed. When it’s all business, you’ll know.    
I mean, who else can look this fabulous while toting two coffee cups while teetering in stilettos? Dainty blouses paired with pencil skirts and fabulous sunglasses skew a slightly more serious Mel, until she flashes that inviting smile
     For the red carpet, the glam hits astronomical levels. Gorgeous strapless gowns with thigh-grazing slits showcase her toned legs. Jumpsuits and minidresses hug her curves perfectly as though they were another layer of skin. Simply tasteful and gorgeous.
      Even after more than twenty years in the business, Mel B’s style has transcended from bold and sassy to demure and polished, but so on trend and eye catching. So here’s to this week’s throwback. May the Scary Spice Halloween costumes never fizzle out. And here’s hoping Mel B’s style influences us all to spice up our lives.
For more fab looks of Mel B, spy our curated gallery above!
