So Fresh and So Clean
Hey, it’s Afrobella, ella, ella, ehh lol.
OK, enough of pop song jokes, I have a problem. There is one part of my body and beauty routine that irritates me all summer long. If you’re like me, you try to ignore it all day, but mirrors, pictures, and a constant sticky film feeling prevent you from doing so. Yep, you guessed it, it’s that pretty face of yours. How do you moisturize your face during the summer? Wait, I meant how to do you moisturize your face …

It’s doing it again.
I’m standing in front of a display window at Forever 21 and my sense of style is taunting me. She’s shamelessly flaunting flimsy halter tops, skinny jeans, and backless summer dresses this girl shouldn’t be caught dead in. Why am I so in love with outfits obviously made for someone else? Is it just me, or are most women’s eyes adversely drawn to clothing that does not flatter their bodies? It’s like we have a child inside of us who just wants to grab every piece of …

No matter your shape ladies, we all have struggled at some point and time, trying to find the perfect jeans that complements our bodies. There are actually a lot of things that goes into picking the right pair. For instance, there are many types of jeans to choose from. Tapered leg, boot cut, flare, low rise, skinny and stretch, just to name a few. But something to keep in mind while you are searching, is that you shouldn’t worry about the size but how they fit you and how they …

Its Sunday, 10:30 am. You’ve showered, dressed, had your morning reflection time…and a questionable breakfast. The elegant burnt orange summer dress, turquoise liner and jewelry you adorn breathes perfection. Congratulations. You are officially ready for Sunday worship. But when you arrive, the sanctuary looks as though a small tornado just passed through. There are programs everywhere, trash, and worst yet, evidence of eating! Who? What? Why? How could anyone leave the Church in such disarray? Before you pray for the misguided soul who left God’s holy place a mess, consider …

Summer is finally here!  This means beaches, parks, fruity drinks with little umbrellas, and a whole lot of skin-baring! Remember though, getting into the full swing of enjoying the outdoors means making every effort to protect your skin from sun-damage.
Sun damage to the skin is caused by Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.  These rays are invisible to the eye, but they enter the cells of the skin and may cause visible and invisible damage. UV rays from the sun can cause blotches, wrinkles, and skin cancer, which is …

Stretch marks are something that we all deal with at some point in our lives. Both men and women get stretch marks, however, it tends to be more common with women. Women who are pregnant often get stretch marks towards the end of their term, typically when the baby is growing the fastest. Adolescents that have growth spurts also have stretch marks but those stretch marks usually fade away with time. It happens when we gain or lose weight. The skin is made out of three layers, the epidermis, dermis, …

When it comes to taking care of your eyebrows, which method do you prefer? Would you pluck, wax and thread? I personally was not a fan of plucking, pulling one strand of hair at a time. It is extremely annoying as well as tedious knowing that there are so many hairs to pull. However, the advantage is that you have great control, and can accurately choose the hairs you’re removing.
Now waxing is painful but quick, the next thing you know you are done and out of the salon. When you’re …
