Are you having a tough time sleeping? Or maybe you don’t have time to sleep? Perhaps  the stress of everyday life is interfering with your sleep? Whatever category you fall in, it’s time to zero in on what’s actually impeding with your sleep time. Sleep deprivation is known to lead to weight gain, aging skin, and chronic illnesses like diabetes. Therefore, I make sure I’m in bed no later than 11pm and up at 7:30am during the week. And I must say instead of feeling grouchy I’m typically a happy camper waking up. I implore you to make it a priority to get 7 to 9 hours of sleep and see how that changes your mood in the mornings. There other daily regimens that help me...

Are you having a “good hair day”? Sounds kinda silly but, really are you having a good hair day? Do you ever realize that when you are having one of those days where your hair is ‘layed for the gods,’ your confidence and overall attitude are heightened? Yes, we all like to believe that “what’s inside counts the most” but let’s be real, good health, hygiene, and appealing appearance positively impacts our lives. Our sense of attractiveness is strongly connected to confidence and positive self-esteem. We associate it with feeling in control, and hair is one way most of us can be and feel in charge. Remember, Gabrielle Union in ‘Being Mary Jane’ wouldn’t even go to her job as senior anchor because she didn’t have...

NEVER TOO YOUNG TO — USE EYE CREAMS

Whether you're dark or fair skin, 18 or 30 years old, using an eye cream is the secret to helping you age gracefully. You may think you’re too young to think about wrinkles, dark, and puffy eyes, but think again. Skin experts say eye creams keep the skin moist so that fine lines don’t show up as much. The point is keeping youthful looking eyes will keep you from looking older than your age. My favorite cream is Suzanne Somers’ anti-aging organic eye cream. I put it on in the morning and at night. Because your eye area is sensitive and delicate, I like to be extra cautious of what goes on that area. Since Suzanne’s products are toxic free, I don’t have to worry about...

MISS BLACK USA JASMIN ALEXANDERS’ BEAUTY QUEEN REGIMEN

My mom always taught me the importance of cleansing your face, using a toner, and applying a moisturizer. Of course I thought I was invincible when I was younger, so I didn’t listen to my mother’s advice about taking care of my skin now. But in the past year, I’ve made it a priority to always cleanse my face after wearing make up, using a toner, and moisturizing. The difference in my skin and the feel of it was almost immediate. I think every female should adapt some kind of skin care regimen they do every morning. So now let’s talk hair. Living in Colorado Springs is an entirely different beast. It’s very dry here so, I had to switch up my natural hair care and beauty...
