neonvmag: like those of you who celebrate thanksgiving, aside from enjoying great food and company, this holiday always makes me think of all of the many things i have in my life to be thankful for. here are a few health and beauty products i thank sweet baby jesus for as without them, my life would not be the same! I. arm & hammer toothpaste those that know me, know that i have an amazing smile and i’m not being shallow, but it’s the truth! ;-) however, this smile didn’t come easily. five years of braces and a professional bleaching left me with near perfection and i maintain it with this jewel. it leaves my teeth sparkling and my mouth feels like diamonds! if god had to brush his teeth, he would use this toothpaste! II. nair brazilian spa clay sing with me (to the tune of beyonce’s “put a ring on it” ) “all my hairy ladies, all my hairy ladies, all my hairy ladies, all my hairy ladies if you hairy then you better put some nair on it!” i am a hairy girl and am always searching for the best method for hair removal. this brazilian spa clay is moisturizing and sensitive enough for my skin. i am super thankful for smooth legs! III. kinky curly knot today by no means am i a label whore when it comes to my hair products, in fact, i usually become a mixologist and create my own concoction. however, this conditioner needs no co-stars, it is a stand-alone star! i use this everyday to help detangle and moisturize my tresses. it is light, smells good and it works! therefore, i am thankful! IV. aromatherapy sugar scrub we all know exfoliation is a necessity. buffing away dead skin cells helps to emerge the new layer of skin as well as unclog pores. this scrub does just that, while also moisturizing your skin and leaving it super soft. it also has essential oils that help with stress relief, relaxation and energy. V. milani eyebrow pencil if i don’t wear any makeup, i at least put on eyebrows. it’s as if i don’t feel complete without them. i have spoken about how this drugstore-brand eyebrow pencil has been a makeup staple of mine for years! my life wouldn’t be the same without it! it’s dual sided, smooth, lasts all day and is super cheap! don’t leave the house, expressionless! make sure those eyebrows are in tact, beautes! so there you have my V health and beauty products to be thankful for. aside from health, family, and amazing friends, this thanksgiving i was also most thankful for my neons! stay beat boots beautes!

neonvmag:

what happens when V creative peculiar women are linked with V of dc’s top influencers and a baby? a magical, ingenious energy that is so bold, andy warhol would want to document, photograph and paint us all. we would wreck havoc on the world, taking citizens as hostages! we are neon punk—XI…

neonvmag: hey beautes! after two weeks of having my hair straightened (long hair, don’t care),  i could not wait to wash it and get my big fro back! as a reformed product junkie, i am often intrigued by the latest, greatest product - and what it claims to be able to do for my hair.  since i try to thoroughly research my hair products before jumping the gun and making a purchase, after intense research i felt cantu shea butter curling cream was worth my coins.  so i washed my hair, deep conditioned it, and let it air dry just a tad bit before digging into my new goods.  i twisted my hair in 12 semi flat twists (i flat twist the root and two-strand twist the remaining). i let my hair air dry and released the twists the next morning and here was my finished product.  overall, i must say that i enjoyed this product. my hair was not heavy at all, it had great movement and was left soft and moisturized.  the smell was nice and it was not at all greasy. i will definitely use this product again and recommend it to all my beautes! happy hair days and stay beat boots beautes! live in neon.
