Get the Look NYFW Edition: SheaMoisture for Tracy Reese

For the A/W Tracy Reese show, models sported top-knot ponies that Lead Hair Stylist Bok-Hee described as "severe" using SheaMoisture products. You can get the look by following the below steps:

1.  Apply SheaMoisture Tahitian Noni & Monoi Smooth & Repair Blow Out Cream to protect hair and add shine before drying.


2. Using a paddle brush, dry hair brushing away from the face, towards the crown of the head.

3. Massage SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Gel SoufflĂ© between hands and use to pull hair into a severe ponytail at the crown. Secure with an elastic.

4. Once secured, spray SheaMoisture Tahitian Noni & Monoi Smooth & Repair High Shine Glosser onto paddle brush and smooth the ponytail.

5. Combine SheaMoisture Tahitian Noni & Monoi Smooth & Repair High Shine Glosser and SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Gel SoufflĂ© in the palm of the hand and pull through the tail of the pony for intense shine and hold.

6. Wrap wire around the base of the ponytail and manipulate so that the wire sits in the center of the tail, unseen.

7. Twist the ponytail until it makes a tight rope with the wire in the center. Secure at the end with a small elastic.

8. Still holding the roped hair, loop it back to the base of the head and secure with bobby pins. This will create a loop with the hair that points in a diagonal away from the head.

9. Once firmly secured, twist the looped hair counterclockwise, creating a spiral effect.

10. Slick back any loose hairs around the face with SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow & Restore Edge Treatment.

11. Finish by spraying SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Hold & Shine Moisture Mist for hold and hydration.

Event Recap: Miss Jannie's Baby Atlanta Launch

I was so excited to attend the launch of Miss Jannie's Baby on Tuesday at Midtown's Louis Quarterman Salon. I am a huge fan of handmade products, and Miss Jannie's Baby has an array of natural products for your skin, such as sugar scrubs and bath salts. At the event, I got to meet Janine Breeland, the owner of Miss Jannie's Baby, whose collection consists of products that originated in her Grandma's kitchen. At her DIY station, Breeland showed guests how to make bath salts. 
My salts included Himalayan salt, fragrance, and teas that help relaxation and staying calm. As we all know, I need to relax and calm down, lol. 
Speaking of relaxation, the event also highlighted a massage station. Check me out, getting a lower back rub from an Infinate Massage rep. Can you tell that I don't get massages often, lol? 
Shalawn Willis, aka the Beauty Architect, was also there to do makeup for the attendees. How amazing do my lips look?!?! I couldn't recreate this look if I tried! 
Angels Envy was the drink sponsor. I don't usually drink at events, but I couldn't pass up on the chance to toast to a prosperous New Year with fellow blogger buds Dea Win and KiwiTheBeauty. 
Dea and I. 
Me, Kiwi, and her hair, lol. 
And who could forget the delish light bites from Chef D. Catering?

The event brought out bloggers and natural lifestyle supporters alike. While speaking with Breeland she stressed how important healthy living is to her. This resignates with me, because often we focus on what we put in our bodies and not what we put on them when it comes to living our healthiest lives. I am so interested in learning more about Miss Jannies's Shea products! I love Shea;)
