One Product for Frizzy Hair

    Are you having issues with frizzy hair? A few years ago, in my Essence.com article, I listed Motions Textures Radiating Hair Gloss as one of my must have beauty products for women who workout. Years later, I am still using this product on my hair. It’s still a must have product product for frizzy hair. I continually used it to help my hair have immediate shine without the greasy feeling. The shea butter, coconut and avocado oil also help protect your hair and keep it smooth. With the crazy summer weather upon us, this is a must have product for all fit chicks. During the recent Dallas Curlfriends brunch, I used it to keep my hair in tip top shape while on a rainy and humid day. Overall, the Textures radiating hair gloss is a great product for frizzy hair.

THRIFT IN STYLE – DALLAS RECAP

A woman with true style can wear an outfit from a thrift store and kill off every label wearing woman in the room. That was the motto I learned when attending the first Thrift In Style Dallas event. Thrift inStyle is a new  community for the Fashionably Frugal and host exclusive social events to Thrift, Laugh & Learn the art of looking stylish.  With a bus full of Dallas’ hottest thrifters and stylists and a personal driver, this event aimed to expand the minds and opinions of thrifting in the big city.      The event was co-hosted by Jessica Ayers , Alexandria Gilliard  of The Garb Dynasty Style Concierge, and Prescilla Collins of PresciStyles. The ladies were amazing and so hands on! It was like having a sale for hiring four stylist without paying them individually!!  We went to a variety of thrifting locations such as  Dolly Python,  which is a truly unique and authentic vintage store. For lunch break, we hung out at Klyd Warren Park; which is filled with restaurants, pet area, food trucks, loads of water fountains and play areas to entertain the kids and the kids-at-heart. I ended up eating at the Nammi food truck because I love there Vegetarian Tacos and homemade lemonade. Overall, it was a great event and I will be visiting several thrifting stores in the area. If you are in Dallas area, here are some of the popular thrift stores recommended by the stylists. Salvation Army Thrift Store   12895 Josey Ln #245, Farmers Branch, TX St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store   3052 W. Northwest Highway  Dallas, TX 75220 Thrift Giant 1145 E. Irving Blvd.  Irving, TX 75060 Thrift World  3046 Forest wood Drive Arlington, TX 76006 Thrift World of Dallas  3046 Forest Ln.  Dallas, TX ‎

Tailgating Ideas| Fruit & Veggie Tray

Well its Football season time. I am pumped and ready to watch the games today. I love getting together and tailgating for football games. For cowboys games, I am in charge of the fruit, veggie, “vegetarian items” and drinks for the game. I decided to turn the boring veggie and fruit tray into a healthy yet sporty tray by using the cupcake pans. Take a look at my easy Tailgating recipe to put a spin on your boring fruit and veggie tray. Not Your Average Fruit And Veggie Tray First, I looked the Beyond Meat Meatballs per the directions. Once cooked, I put them in a bowl and submerge the meatballs in my selected bbq sauce. While the meatballs cool, I begin cutting the fruit and vegetables.   After cutting the food, I place the cupcake liners in the baking pan. I selected liners that are my team’s colors (blue, silver and white) to add a pop of color and festivity. I place the items within the liners and that’s it. Finished in a matter of minutes.   While technically this isn’t your “traditional” fruit and veggie tray since I added the meatballs. I loved the idea so much, I wanted to show you a variety of items that you could expand on with such as cubed cheese, dips  (ranch, whip cream, hummus) or even mini cookies within each section of the cupcake baking pan. The possibilities are endless and the cleanup is a breeze. It’s the perfect for tailgating or for the kiddos. Give it a try and let me know how you like this idea. PS: GO COWBOYS!
