  • Fern Olivia talks Thyroid Yoga at Saks Wellery

    Health is a constant topic up for discussion that has now been inundated with people who use fear tactics to convince society to alter their way of living. So much so that your pals have turned into a grass eating gaggle that do nothing but tell the world they are #plantbased, #dirtyWhole30, #Vegan4Lyfe, or whatever…

  • Green glitter slime with Elmer’s

    Some weeks back I attended the Newell Brands holiday preview. There were different tables set up showcasing current and future launches, and the multiple ways they can be used outside of their normal functionalities. I made a yellow slime, haphazardly to be honest, that began to dry and leak soon after. Because I knew the…

  • Highlighting with Claudia Lake

    Yesterday I checked out the QVC’s Annual Holiday Press Preview. Though I had no plan on posting anything about it until the holiday guide came out later this year, I met makeup artist Claudia Lake at the highlighter bar, and things sort just happened. And yes, it’s exactly what is sounds like. Your favorite brand’s…

  • Filling my cheeks with RADIESSE

    Plastic surgery is something I never thought I’d try until my 50s or 60s, but as more and more recipients popup daily, it began to poke my curiosity. So a couple months back when I was invited to a botulinum and filler party, rather than responding,”it’s not for me,” I attended! First of all, imagine…

  • Expat in London | Alicia Barnes

    Where are you from? I’m from the Bronx in NYC. What brought you to London? I visited London in the past and always felt a close connection to the city. I had some extended family there and decided that it was time to give my dreams of living in London a try as well as…

  • Sirine Swed talks Battington Lashes

    A couple of weeks back I attended the Cosmoprof preview in New York, where a small portion of the brands from the upcoming July show setup shop. Many of the brands on display were founded by women who saw a hole in the beautysphere, change the way we see beauty, or just wanted to make…

    We’re approaching the 20th anniversary of the first Harry Potter release. Since then, there have been seven additions to the book series, eight films released,  a Harry Potter world at DisneyWorld and an over $25 billion dollar franchise. It takes a village to raise a child, and Harry Potter had some of the most praised…

  • FitMenCook talks Lubriderm

    Last Wednesday we wrapped up the month of May with Kevin Curry of FitMenCook at KORE New York to promote his collaboration with Lubriderm. After class, Kevin and I took a moment to discuss his fitness transition, the social shift in food, and the importance of skin in wellness. Tell me about you transitioned from just…

    Our first installment of “Expat in [enter city name]” is with Amanda Ponzio-Mouttaki. There are others coming along shortly, but as  we wait for them, lets give a few deets on how this will go. These posts will give insight to those living away from their native country – what they do, why they left, the…

  • Talking ego with Jane Oranika!

    You may have heard of a little something-something called the #EgoChallenge. It was a challenge where you rapped about the things that make you, you, over Beyoncé’s “Ego” track.  It got thousands of people creating their own version including The Color Purple actress Cynthia Erivo, Orange is the New Black star Danielle Brooks, even the ladies…

  • Teatime with Stephen Twining

    Twinings has been a connoisseur of tea for over 200 years. As time passes, and palates change, Twinings has expanded their repertoire to follow suit. Now, to satisfy the need of the infusion generation three new teas have joined the family – Early Grey Lavender, Early Grey Jasmine, and Earl Grey Extra Bold. Recently, I sat…

A formerly incarcerated individual who is now the founder and CEO of his own company, ConBody, that helps others get fit as well as help formerly incarcerated individuals in securing a job upon release.
