Wow, it seems like several noted black musicians are bringing some serious heat to the fashion industry! Ciara gets a nod from Topshop, Rihanna begins to front Stance and now Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson had an announcement of her very own. JHud is now the face of New York & Company’s SOHO Jeans.

Hudson looked beyond cute for the launch party celebrating her momentous new job position . We loved the retro hair touch that she added to her denim on denim ensemble which is a very hot trend right now. Jennifer incorporated a headscarf aka bandana to complete her chic head-to-toe look. Bandana’s are a great hair accessory to hold hair in place or simply change up a classic. We love the short cut that Hudson is rocking yet the addition of the scarf helped her hairstyle take on a new life. This one little and simple accessory cause her to morph from edgy to sassy girly-girl.

The collection that Jennifer Hudson will be the face of is a quite affordable with all pieces being under $70. If you wish that you had lived during the disco era or are hoping that there really is a Doc out there creating a DeLorean time machine so that you can return to that decade then you’re going to love these jeans. The entire collection was inspired and designed with the 70’s solely in mind. Groovy baby!

Safe Travel Tip: Know Your Limit

Whether you’re traveling abroad to Paris, spending spring break on South Padre Island, Texas or taking a summer road trip to Las Vegas, Nevada, it is important to keep safe and aware of your surroundings at all times.

By following just a few, small travel tips and keeping a few things in mind, you can ensure that your vacation goes smoothly and that you have a great time.

Knowing your limits

Hangovers are not the only thing you need to worry about when partying; binge drinking can lead to black-outs, alcohol poisoning and even worse – death. Most importantly though, alcohol clouds your judgment severely and makes bad situations and decisions look alright.

Try to monitor your alcohol consumption and the alcohol consumption of those traveling with you.

Beauty Question: Is Steaming Good or Bad For Skin?

Beauty Question: Is Steaming Good or Bad For Skin

Beauty Answer: We totally understand, most likely you are someone who would like to rid your skin of acne without causing any scarring. The number one mistake that most make with pimples is to disturb them by pinching or squeezing. This method of removing acne is not very effective and in many cases can cause more harm than good.

For this reason women have turned to other options such as steaming in order to safely remove their blemishes. Steaming is actually a beauty method used by cosmetologist in order to remove acne like pimples or blackheads. How is steaming helpful in removing these forms of acne? The steam encourages surrounding skin to become more soft and supple. This thus causes any bacteria, hardened oils or dirt to be easily removed from your skin.

Steaming is a process that is highly recommended to be handled by a trained professional. Moreover, in some cases cosmetologists couple steaming with the needle method. A cosmetologist will use a sterilized needle to gently apply pressure to whiteheads. This gentle pricking will cause pus to ease on out. Therefore, steaming and whitehead removal via needle are best handled by trained individuals and are deemed the safest options for ridding skin of acne.
