Give Back

For all you budgetnistas out there...I am taking the time to remind you about MAC Giving Back program. You turn in 6 empty MAC make-up containers(compact, lipglass, lipstick, etc.), and receive a free tube of lipstick of your choice! Dope right? After moving, I had tons of MAC containers leftover from years of usage, and decided to turn in 6 of them for my lipstick. Its all for the environment. So you get to look cute...and do some good!

Rock the RED: Bold. Fashion. Awareness.

Ladies of Red Pump Project


Rock the RED is a celebration of the first anniversary of The Red Pump Project, which was founded in March 2009 to raise awareness about the impact of HIV/AIDS on women and girls. This fab fashion show/fundraiser was held on March 25, 2010, in commemoration of annual National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. My girl Jenna, who is part of the organization, asked me and another homie to model...at first we were reluctant, but I am so grateful for the opportunity and experience. We honored Ms. Rae Lewis-Thornton, who has lived with AIDS for almost 20 years. This Diva was definitely worth meeting. We gained so much strength, just being in her presence. I was also blessed to be around so many beautiful black women for a good cause. Below is a few pics from behind the scene at the show...more to come soon.

Giving back for the holidays

Party in the name of charity.

Its just lotion!!!

I ran up on this item while in Saks. And even though I am not a big Kiehls fan(moreso Johnson & Johnson), I thought the woman behind the product was dope. Erykah Badu, along with a few other artists have done an limited edition lotion with Kiehls. Proceeds go to the Waterkeeper Alliance, a group that believes in providing youth with access to safe drinking water. Dope, right? Along with that, the lotion have ingriediants such as argan Oil, squalane, and vitamin E. All good for restoring your skins moisture, appearance and texture....which I am all for! I will be grabbing me a bottle asap.
