2017 was definitely a great year for beauty and style. From celebrity launches we couldn’t wait for to natural hair tutorials we just had to try we had some of the beauty tips we’ll take well into 2018 and beyond. Here are some of our favorites and why we just couldn’t get enough this year. MAKEUP Black Owned Beauty Brands - If there was one thing we loved the most this year it was the amount of black owned beauty options we had available. From vegan lipstick to body butters to highlighters and more, this year was one where black women made their mark in an industry where we have been underrepresented the most.

Every year is a good year to stand up for the issues that affect black women and our health. This year, in particular, we had black women celebrities stand up and speak out on some of the most sensitive topics in our community. Here are four women we appreciate for using their platforms to shed light on the issues that affect black girls and their health. Gabrielle Union - This year, Gabrielle Union stepped up and spoke out in a big way regarding sexual assault. After this years’ (copycat) #metoo campaign that was led by white women, backlash from many women, including Gabrielle Union, occurred highlighting that the original campaign was created by a black woman, Tarana Burke, over 10 years ago.

From Rihanna’s iconic Fenty Beauty launch, to Tracee Ellis Ross’ clothing line, to Gabrielle Union’s hair products, we were more than ready to spend our coins on everything black women brought to the table.

This time of year most of us are either looking back on our goals for the year or scrapping them and starting over. And if we’re talking about fitness goals, most likely we’re in the latter. With all the good food, parties, gatherings, and cocktails on the menu for the next couple weeks, of course the last thing on our mind is the gym. But then Tia Mowry came through with her cute baby bump and gym clothes to remind us that we need to hop on #teamnoexcuses and get our daily dose of exercise in, no matter what. ??
