Kerry Washington, who plays Olivia Pope on the hit T.V. show “ Scandal”  came upon an awesome way to loose weight without stressing over her baby weight. During an appearance on BET’s 106 & Park, Washington said instead of starving herself from different diets, and doing extreme workouts, she breastfeeds her new born. According to Eonline, she has always been the kind of woman to understand the importance of exercising, but has never been the type to take it to the extreme. Washington is not worried about ever being perfect, although she focuses more on being the best she can be. Breastfeeding is another way to loose weight, rather than going crazy about it post pregnancy. Read more about Kerry Washington shedding the baby fat, by clicking...

Here's an all-too familiar scenario: Every morning you cleanse, prime and mattify your skin to pore-less, oil-free perfection, but by the time you walk through your office doors, you need another dab of powder -- and by midday, it looks like you've slathered a layer of Crisco on your face. What the dealio? For those of us with oily skin, the problem is not the lack of shine-busting products -- it's the fact that they never seem to work. That magical powder that mattes everyone else's face slides off your T-zone in hours and those oil blotters that work like a charm for your friend, do squat for you. So what's a glistening gal to do? Stay chained to your powder compact? Not anymore. Readers tested...

BE CAUTIOUS OF HAIR VITAMINS!

There is certainly a trend over the last few years in an increased number of new hair vitamins. Since hair grows from within, as a hair expert dermatologist, I have been encouraging the use of specific internal nutrients to help hair health for over fifteen years. However, the majority of hair vitamins contain similar ingredients as a daily multivitamin, just in larger amounts, plus added vitamin H (Biotin); which do not specifically target hair follicles nor help with hair growth or hair thinning. In fact, there can be potential vitamin overdose causing eye, liver, kidney problems and other side effects, especially if also taking a daily multivitamin. Because the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate manufacturing of vitamins or supplements, any company can produce without...

Vaginal odor is nothing to be embarrassed about and it could be a medical condition that is easy to treat. It is most common in females ages 15-44 year. The most common medical reasons for vaginal odor are bacterial overgrowth known as Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) and candida overgrowth, known as a yeast infection.  Although these two conditions are often confused with each other because of the similarity in symptoms, there are some slight differences in symptoms and bigger differences in how they are treated. What is Bacterial Vaginosis? Bacterial Vaginosis is a bacterial infection of the vagina.  It occurs due to the imbalance of the normal vaginal flora. Some of the most common causes include:  multiple sex partners, wearing underwear made of synthetic fabrics, commercial douches and antibiotic over- use. What...

MISS BLACK NEW YORK CASSANDRE BRISSOT TALKS ABOUT EATING FOR NOURISHMENT

I am a first generation American of Haitian decent hailing out of Brooklyn, New York. In the Haitian culture almost every meal is based around rice and beans. If I haven't had rice and beans I feel as if I haven't had a real meal. In addition to that my mom always cooked growing up, so we rarely ate out. If we had McDonald's or another fast food it was a treat, not the norm. Over the years particularly the last 3, I've realized there's a difference between eating and being nourished. Just because you've eaten doesn't mean you've eaten anything of nutritional value. However, getting all my nutrients everyday is still a work in progress.  I've started packing almonds, carrot sticks, brown rice, and peanut...

SEA SALT AND OLIVE OIL… THE SECRET BEHIND HEALTHY NAILS?

Do you know exactly what a healthy nail looks like? Did you answer no? Hopefully I can change that answer for you. I must say before I decided to go to cosmetology school, I didn’t know what healthy nails looked like either, but with the proper knowledge I gained, I can tell if a person is in good or bad health, just by looking at their finger nails. The normal healthy nail is firm but flexible, shiny, smooth and ridge free, no splits and no discoloration. It’s usually translucent in appearance with the ability to see through the nail plate. The nail bed varies from person to person so you may think “my nails don’t look healthy according to these characteristics”; but you can achieve healthy...
