EYES- Use a light to medium shade and gently pat on the lower lid. This is great when you are short on time and need something that looks good. Simply dip a flat, stiff brush into the pigment and place in the lid. Press the brush into the pigment and tap off any excess. You can keep the color below the crease or bring it up slightly past the crease. Use a fluffy dome brush to blend out the crease and feather out any harsh lines. This adds a perfect and easy pop to your eyes. CHEEKS – These work wonders as highlights for the top of your cheekbones and for adding dimension to your look. To use, dip your brush into the pigment and place in...

Can't sleep? Not maintaining a healthy night's sleep? There are simple easy things you can do in your room to get you quality AND quantity of sleep. RULE #1: Remove ALL electronics from your room. NO television. NO computer. NO iPad or Kindle or any tablet. These distractions are keeping you from your sleep. I hear people say it all the time, "I need the T.V. to fall asleep." When you watch television from bed you're keeping your mind from winding down and focusing on relaxation. Instead, you're focusing on "just another episode". If it's the sounds you need, there are amazing Pandora stations that have soft, relaxing melodies to cater to your sleepy self. (I like "Beach Bar Lounge" and "Yoga Radio") As for the computer, NO...

Shayna Jamison: Being a beauty queen propelled me to become my best self again. As mentioned in my first BGH article, I gained an immense amount of weight during college and it was hard to get rid of it. It greatly affected my self-esteem. I did not have the confidence I once had. Shayna Jamison: My family has a history of diabetes and high blood pressure. Even with my weight, I managed to not have any health issues, which has been a blessing. However, I knew if I did not change my lifestyle, I could become a statistic of the aforementioned diseases. I joined Mase Training in Virginia and had wonderful trainers. They worked me hard, however, it was the best decision I ever made. I tried...

Tis' the season where urban legends, myths, and mysteries are constantly being circulated. But don't let that suck you into the many old wives tales of hair. I am here to dismantle some of the many tales we have heard throughout the years. You can do chemical services while pregnant. Only your hair follicle will absorb the chemicals of relaxers and hair dyes, not you or your baby. Remember though, being that your hormones are changing; your hair may process differently. Relaxing and coloring your hair can be done on the same day, only if the color is Semi-Permanent. Your hair will not grow back thicker when shaving certain areas of your body, such as mustache, eyebrows, or arms and legs. However when shaving the face, you can...

So the key to naturally flawless glowing skin begins with fantastic skin preparation. Skin does not look its happiest when it is dry, tired, cracked or oily. If you prep the skin on your face correctly before you add your actual makeup, you will not need as much makeup to "fix" any given skin situation you might be faced with allowing an opportunity for your "natural, flawless glowing skin" to shine through! 1. Begin with applying a toner on face and neck, followed by a moisturizing cream (I like Embryolisse Lait Cream) also applied to your face and neck. You need to assess whether or not your skin is oily or dry and find a face cream suitable for your specific skin type. If your skin...

Publisher's thoughts: I don't know about you but I have certainly noticed that nail techs no longer use razor blades to scrape the dead skin off of my heels. I must say getting this pedicure treatment in the salon definitely made my heels smooth and was quite addicting. But the question had been raised several times about the safety of the razors. Click the link below to learn why razors are no longer the tool of choice for rough heels.

Beauty Queen Secrets: Miss Black Virginia Talks About Her Weight Struggles

I am from Linden, New Jersey. Growing up, my family stressed the importance of eating healthy. Whenever I would visit my grandparents, they would always pile on the vegetables and keep fried foods to a minimum.  My family would treat me to a restaurant or “junk food” every once in a while, however, the occasions were very rare. My view of nutrition has changed dramatically over the years. During college, I let go of my “nutrition principles” and gained weight. Going from being fit to unhealthy showed how the phrase “you are what you eat” is very true. Eating foods of low nutritional value destroyed my energy and caused rapid weight gain. Over the past year, prepping for the pageant, and serving as Miss Black Virginia USA...
