      Feeling especially sassy this Valentine's holiday, opt for leather , while the weather still permits or something edgier than normal. If your a girlie girl, who loves sweet and feminine looks ,a bodycon dress {ideas Click Here} works for most  body types.   American Apparel Disco Pants are an all occasion wardrobe staple for me, and I love to look a little "badass" when I get time with my honey. In typical thrifty girl fashion, I mixed one high priced item with items from the thrift store. #teamthrift

WHITNEY HOUSTON DIED AT AGE 48

Hard to believe it's true that one of America's greatest vocal talents dies today. Wikipedia has updated her D.O.D. It's been a mind boggling Black History Month. Losing Don Cornelius to suicide and now Whitney. Her addiction and struggle with drug dependancy was no secret, but we all were hoping for the best, and most importantly recovery, and if we're lucky a musical comeback. Sadly the life of drug addiction is all too common, and our celebrities aren't exempt. If there are loved ones who you know struggle with drug addiction, do all that you can to help and not enable . Prayers and condolences go to the Houston family.

CAROL'S DAUGHTER TRANSITION ME BEAUTIFUL CONTEST

If this contest isn't some incentive to go natural, I don't know what is. When I went natural, I surely couldn't win price let alone have an all expense paid pamper session. "Times sure have changed."

IN REVIEW: BEAUTIFUL TEXTURES

UPS knocks on my door! The package indicated that it was from CurlMart. "YAY ME"  my inner product junkie squeals. First impression after opening, smelling, scanning the ingredients lists, "this stuff seems pretty good". While the packaging is sure not to be overlooked because of it's loud color scheme, the ingredients and product claims makes this haircare line a contender for naturally curly hair enthusiasts' cabinets.

WILLOW SMITH'S NEW SHAVED HEAD!!!!

Willow Smith's latest hairdo, recently surfaced! She's bald! Well, not completely. This young lady is fearless, not because she doesn't have mid-back length hair, but she dances to the beat of her own drummer. She's an inspiration and role model for her peers and young people all over the world, whether she knows it or not. Although her  famous families' demographic will keep her protected from the "typical" ignorance, and taunting that would be allowed in a traditional public schools, she's the example of a confident, self assured, creative child, that has been nurtured and she is blossoming. Can't wait to see this "fireball of the party" does next.

WET N WILD SPRING COLLECTION: MEGA LAST POLISH, COLOR ICON BRONZERS, AND LIPSTICK

All I can say is,  I was a fan, and now I'm obsessed. Affordable, quality, and great colors. Wet N Wild gets an A+. I found these new Wet N' Wild cosmetics on the end cap of an aisle,  in Rite Aid and Walgreens. The shimmer bronzer in a Ticket to Brazil  739 is a fabulous highlighter for deep complexions, while on tan complexions  Bikini Contest 740 is a great choice.  I believe there is another color in this collection as well. The polishes get 5 stars because of the new Pro ManiCurve Brush and long wear finish. I wore polish, "On A Trip" for 4 days with no chipping or peeling. Run, don't walk to your nearest drug store. These are an inexpensive, must have.
