Sistah Beauty Mamas

Hey Mamas, I was watching the Tyra show today and I thought about my sisters. On the show Tyra was talking about ugly girls, pretty girls, confidence, and inner beauty. Tyra also confronted her high school best friend about how envious she was of her in the past. She felt like an ugly duckling and her friend was beautiful and confident. Its fine to get all dolled up and be glamorous. Its fine to be a plain Jane. If your okay with your self then others will be okay with you. I have three sisters that are beautiful. All of them have their own style, personality, and beauty that

sets them apart. I know at times my sisters and I have expressed the

times we felt beautiful and the times we felt ugly. My father told me there is nothing more attractive than a confident woman. Find your inner beauty and don't be afraid to tell someone else they are beautiful. We as sistahs have to stop being haters and find the beauty within one another. So with saying that Keha, Courtney, & Kristin you are my three beautiful sisters. I love you all!!! Later...

Baby luv:You smell so good

Don't you love the smell of a baby. Its the cleanest and delicate smell you probably will ever inhale. I had to put a pic up of my baby luv because majority of the time he smells so good. He smells tasty enough to bite one of his fat little cheeks. Well, that's enough about my baby. Fragrances are wonderful to me when they are clean and soft. Most of us have out grown wearing the Johnson& Johnson baby lotion and powder, but we can come close to it with these following products.Smell like a baby luv Mamas its okay, lol. It's not okay to walk around with white powder all over your chest & neck.

Mamas need love too!!!

As Mamas we tend to care for everyone else first. I remember my mother telling me how she went without new shoes so we could have. Well now were older and she has every shoe known to man in her closet, lol. I just wish she took out the time to put a little aside for her self back then. Its not a bad thing to take time out on you. If it's shoes, a new lip stick, or to get a facial take a lil someting out for you. If your reading this and you know a Mama or you are a Mama that needs a little TLC, take her out for a beauty treatment or buy her a beauty product. Mamas give your self a little love. Trust me your love ones will notice.

Blaque Love Throwback: Max & Kyle

Who didn't love Kyle and Max together? I was watching a rerun of Living Single tonight. The episode was about Kyle and Max having a secret love affair in a hotel, so nobody would know about their relationship. The one part that caught my eye was when they were laying intertwined on the bed. I thought wow, they look beautiful together. Their beautiful chocolate skin against one an others was a site to see. Blaque love is beautiful to look at, but even more when you see beautiful skin tones together. So when you're laying next to your loved one or maybe doing something else, take the time out to look at your skin. It's a beautiful thing. It may sound weird, but try it.

Cucumber Cool Down

It's hot out there Mamas!!! The weather already feels like summer is here. Allergy season is here and red, tired, puffy, eyes are the result of it. I was at Walgreens when I found this wonderful eye gel.
St. Ives(Cucumber Eye & Face Stress Gel) is a great product for tired, stressed out, puffy eyes. I love to apply this gel around my eyes at night. It's affordable and works well for it's purpose. I like how it tightens the skin and takes out the puff. Look for it in your local drugstores.

Eye Tip/Trick(Cool the Puffs)
You need 1 cucumber, toner, a bowl and foil

• First cut the cucumber up in slices.
• Pour the toner in the bowl and place cucumber slices in toner.
• Let the cucumber slices stay in the bowl of toner for 15-20 minutes
• Take the cucumber slices out of the bowl and place on foil
• Put the cumber slices in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes or until cold
• Place the slices on the eyes and relax.
• Place left over slices in a plastic Ziploc bag for future use.

Have fun Mamas!!! Be cool baby... Peace

The Ugly Side of a Black Man's Beautiful Skin: Razor Bumps!!!

Yes, I said it "The Ugly Side" because we all know its not cute. I love a man with a fresh cut but when you see those nasty bumps it's a sad case. The crazy thing is a black man will still walk around like their the hottest man alive. You know you see it when your looking in the mirror. Now is the time to do something about it. If your a Mama reading this blog please pass it along to your brother, daddy, husband or son. My sister told me she believes many black men and women would benefit from this topic. I know your on the edge of your seats believing there is some kind of magic potion you want me to tell you about. Well, you know what there is lol... but first let's find out the cause of razor bumps.

Most often when black men shave their hair it will curl back into the skin. A bump will appear in the skin showing the skin is inflamed. Its basic cause in and effect with razor bumps.

Another cause can be bacteria being present in the skin because your barber might not have cleaned his clippers.

Simple Solutions & Prevention

Make sure your barber is keeping his/her tools sanitized.

Now here is the magic potion in the bottle. Believe me it works. Tend Skin will work wonders on preventing razor bumps and removing them. Check out their site at http://www.tendskin.com/ or go to Sephora to purchase this product. 

Also try Tea-tree products you can find Tea-tree products at The Body Shop. Tea-tree oil helps clean out the bacteria in the skin. Look on http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/ for the oil. 

Use facial brushes. Scrub your beard before you shave. 

Brushing before you shave raises the hair up out of the follicle and prevents it from coming back into the skin. 

Now aren't you happy you stop by to listen to MAMA.

Juice Face

My sons are always asking for juice. Today I woke up to my oldest son standing next to my bed begging for a juice box. I'm surprise juice doesn't seep out of their pores. As I think about this, I must share one of my top black skin care products. Juice Organics BRIGHTENING CLEANSER is one of the best alpha-hydroxy acid cleansers I ever used. You can look on the back of the label and understand the ingredients. I also used their BRIGHTENING MOISTURIZER. I love this product for women of color because it helps remove hyper-pigmentation(dark marks).

No lie, I used it for 2 weeks and saw my dark marks start to fade away. The products will tingle at 1st because of the AHAs. Don't let that stop you from continuing to use the products. They sell a small kit if you want to try it out first. When you start any AHA treatments make sure to use a sun screen and a hydrating moisturizer. Also use this treatment at night to prevent sensitivity to the sun. Your face will become dry in some areas so stop using it for a couple days and then come back on. The product is very affordable. Check their site out at www.juiceorganics.com. A clear complexion is just around the corner. Oh yeah, I almost forgot my Baltimore Mamas you can find this product in Giant Food stores!!! Well Mamas catch you later... until then keep it tight and keep it right!

Blaque MAMA Award of the week goes to...Michelle Obama

People can hate on her all they want but I must say this woman keeps it tight. I could only imagine how busy her schedule is on a daily basis. She seems like a good mother and most of all has her husband's back. Critics have compared her to JFK's wife Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis but I believe Michelle has a style of her own. Hello! Black women are the originators of style. The lady is a classic. My hat goes off to you Michelle for being a MAMA and still remaining to look fabulous.
