• Vaseline Baby Gel When skin is healthy and hydrated, light reflects off the rich color below the surface, giving it an amazing natural glow. However, daily showers strip natural, protecting oils from skin allowing essential moisture to evaporate. Cocoa butter vitalizing gel body oil, used after bathing, replenishes skin and locks in moisture for naturally radiant skin. Price $6-
• Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse — Clear Mint If you can’t visit the dentist, Crest makes products to keep your teeth gleaming in between appointments.  Price: Around $5
• Chapstick/Lip Gloss Protecting your lips is important all year round. Chapstick and Burt Bees make some of the best chapstick around. When it comes to lip gloss pick something that is not too sticky and that will last a long time is ideal, I suggest Covergirl or Maybelline – you will most definitely shine. Price: $1 -2
  
• Waxing There are many benefits to waxing versus other forms of hair removal. It is an effective method to remove large amounts of hair at one time. It is a long-lasting method. Hair in waxed areas will not grow back for two to eight weeks. Price: Varies
• Hair Trims Damage to your hair will move up from the ends and the only way to stop it in its tracks is to remove it as soon as it happens. Use good tools to trim your hair, using anything else can actually encourage more splitting down the road! It’s important the scissors you use are very sharp, made specifically for cutting hair, and used for nothing else. Trim hair a half inch every month or so (the average rate of hair growth) if you are maintaining your length. If you are actively growing your hair, trim it a half inch every three or four months. Price: Varies
• Mane & Tale Shampoo and Conditioner This exclusive micro-enriched protein formula thoroughly cleanses the hair without stripping natural oils leaving it soft, shiny and manageable. It contains conditioning emollients providing body, shine and manageability for healthy looking hair every time you shampoo. Price: $5.10 to 7.27 (Regular Size)

A new trend on the red carpet is bows. Whether it is on the shoulder or on the waist it is a stylish way to make your dress or shirt a little bit more feminine. We are not talking about little bows either…we are talking about big statement bows. For as long as I can remember, bows have been a big part of dresses. From church dresses to prom dresses and even bridesmaid dresses bows were a must have. Now they are back in full force and I am not mad. If you are going to try bows make sure it is tasteful, it is one of those trends that can overpower you. So if you are going to wear a bow, make sure the rest of your outfit is as simple as possible. Also, make sure it doesn’t take away from your beautiful face and hair, it should just add to your fly aura.

Do you need tips? Check out a fashion magazine, they have the best advice for all trends and sizes. Try InStyle, Allure, and Marie Claire, you will not be sorry.

From the runway to the red carpet, celebrities are giving their backs props. Ladies are covering it all up but letting their backs shine. Before wearing that number please make sure you exfoliate to get rid of any marks. You wouldn’t want to give it the wrong kind of attention. Dresses don’t necessarily have to go waist deep in the back, but showing a little skin adds that appeal that you were looking for. An addition? Jewels with pizazz. That one draping piece will make you glisten.

It doesn’t matter if it is long or short – all that matters is that you show your sexy back!

It is just not a sweet treat you indulge in every so often. Chocolate is a rich brown color that looks good as a hair color or even a lipstick. It is known to also be white and dark. Either way, you should try it because this season Chocolate is on fire!

Chocolate is a tone of color that goes from furniture to shoes. It can transform anything. Diversified, it transcends seasons. Go ahead and attempt to add it in your wardrobe; I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt. By the way, who doesn’t like a little sweetness?

No, it is not just a song by Michael Jackson. Black and White are two staple colors that should remain in your closet. They look best when placed together. Why, you might ask? The contrast is amazing. From watches to shoes it makes you feel like an old Hollywood movie star. Wear a black dress with a white belt – Audrey Hepburn style or a black dress with white polka dots. Try a white jacket with black bottoms or a crisp white shirt with a fitted black skirt. Any way you combine the colors your outfit will look outstanding. Always keep black or white items in your possession, they never go out of style and neither will you.

Whether its short, long, or in between hair maintenance is important, especially chemically treated hair. Using products specifically for your hair type helps to keep hair healthy and shiny and will reduce breakage because you are maintaining a strong head of hair.

Washing your hair too frequently can dry out your hair so if you must do it constantly use a conditioner like Hollywood Beauty Carrott Conditioner which adds strength and moisture to dry and damaged hair. Organic Olive Oil has a good deep penetrating conditioner that conditions the hair and helps restore moisture that is lost during the relaxer process.

Wearing a silk scarf also helps protect hair and will keep your hair looking luscious. Going to a good hairdresser is also a plus. They are trained to take care of all types of hair. If you are starting to see a new hairdresser make sure to tell them what you have done to your hair so that they can properly treat your hair. If you are hit by the recession and must do your hair yourself, make sure you that you read the packaging. Not all products are made for everyone so proceed carefully.

A man in a nice fitted suit is sexier than a man in the nude. The way it hangs on him makes me want to give him a standing ovation. From Armani to Men’s Warehouse, suits with the right shoes can take a man from around the way dude to GQ.

That bold tie makes it even more intense. Try one that fits your complexion. Everyone cannot wear bright colors, stripes or polka dots. Stay away from animals and child like patterns. Cuffs that bling shows off your sophisticated side. Also try colored shirts. Color can make that suit sizzle in 0 to 60 seconds.

Your best bet is to get a suit and shirt tailored by a professional. Paying that extra money will make buying that suit worthwhile.
