Question:” Black women don’t have to wear sunscreen because brown skin can’t burn, right?”- Wrong! Women of color need sunscreen just as much as any other race. The sun’s UV rays are very damaging to the skin and can cause skin burns, wrinkles, skin discoloration, and take away from our natural glow. This became very clear to me when my boyfriend, after spending all day in the summer sun at a soccer tournament, was completely sun burned across his shoulders and back. After being on aloe application duty for about a week, I quickly learned how vital it is for people of color to use sunscreen. So, before walking out of the house make sure to put on sunscreen to keep your skin beautiful and healthy. Check out Madamenoire.com for an informative article further explaining the importance of sunscreen.

“This post was inspired by a couple of young ladies letting me know that they are struggling with some insecurities. As a result they are feeling down, and hopeless. It is really saddening to hear things like this because you want to help make someones pain go away but you don’t know how or where to start. So, here is my start!-To all the young ladies who may be struggling with self-confidence or any issues in their lives, I want you to know this:

You are NOT alone. Every time I read, hear or say these words, I think of Michael Jackson’s song by the same title. When I was younger, “You Are Not Alone” was my comfort song and listening to it when I was sad would make me feel a whole lot better. In the song, Michael is saying to his loved one, that no matter how far apart they are, he is still with them, thinking of them and loving them. Aside from the words “You are not alone”  being one of MJ’s song titles the sentence has a much deeper, universal meaning: Everyone goes through something, everyone has a story, everyone has pain…” click here for full post.

Many woman of color tend to shy away from wearing pink lipstick or gloss, feeling that it might be too bright or clash with their skin tone. But do not fear because brown girls are now dominating the red carpet and everyday life with a touch of pink on their lips.

Fashion

• Statement rings

No outfit is complete without the appropriate jewelry and what other than a stylish ring can make your hands stand out?  Rings are no longer small and dainty but now making statements with their size, shape, and color. Add some flare to an outfit by choosing a ring that demands attention.
