It’s hard to believe that Pompeii was a bustling town with running water, brothels, bath houses and many more modern convinces. When you walk through the streets you just feel overwhelmed by how many people died in the wide open streets of Pompeii just because they did not heed the early warnings to flee.
Exploring the fascinating ancient ruins of Pompeii you see the destruction of Mt Vesuvius’s massive eruption thousands of years ago. This ancient Roman city that was entirely destroyed by the sudden eruption of Mt Vesuvius in 79 AD and is marked as the largest archaeological site in Europe.
As you meander through the streets you are able to walk through the mansions of the wealthy people of the city. It’s unbelievable, you can still see the artwork on the walls, walk through their gardens and check out their sleeping quarters.
What you learn about this city is that the who’s who of all wealthy Romans lived here and since it was a port town many sailors lived in the city. This meant that a lot of prostitution was going on. Their are even clues and markers on the street to direct the young men to the ladies of the night and from the looks of the paintings and fresco on the walls things were very erotic in the town of Pompeii.
So traveling to Pompeii was incredible to see this two thousand year old town with mount Vesuvius in the backdrop is a spectacular trip and well worth visiting.
Attendees and guest speakers were not just from the west-side, but came from all over the U.S. ranging from Chi-town to Atlanta, Georgia. We were completely blown away by the transparency of the various panels and spotlighted entrepreneurs. They possessed a genuine positivity to help one and all achieve their ambitions of being a beauty (inside and out) and succeeding in the career path of their dreams.
One moment that we shall never forget is when a gentle soul by the name of Octavia approached the microphone during an Q&A session and revealed her struggle of doing all that she could in her power to put herself through Cosmetology school.
Octavia had put in so much work and effort to see her dream realized, but just could not seem to get over life’s hurdles. All that stood in her way was $700 in order to start her schooling. Octavia in tears poured out her heart and asked the panel what their advice would be for anyone trying to get ahead, trying to be like them, yet can not seem to get there no matter how hard they try.
At that very moment, something that we had NEVER seen before happened that would change this woman’s life forever.
Several business owners that were a part of the event began offering to pay for a portion of Octavia’s training. Within seconds $300 had been raised and by the end of the event Octavia had ALL $700 necessary to begin school!
Octavia’s journey resonated with so many in the audience that a huge portion of attendees were in tears and erupted in applause over Octavia’s prospects of achieving the education she so badly desired for so many years.
Octavia and Taryn Tarver
We were moved by Octavia’s story as well and approached her about staying in touch. Her determination and strength to get in front of a crowd of people and ask for help is truly inspiring. Therefore, we are happy to announce that we will be sharing Octavia’s journey through school as she keeps reaching for the stars.
It is our hope that her story will inspire you as well to never stop reaching higher because you CAN get to where you want to be if you stay grinding, strong and be fearless.
Expert panelists as well as speakers included Juntae DeLane, DeeDee Kelly, Chris Gees, Taryn Tarver, Gloria Williams, Malaika Paul, Monique Lauren Peters, Dr. Kari Williams, Rita Owens, Ardre Orie and D.L. Master Barber.
The event was hosted by the fabulous Melissa Hibbert who was also our May 2015 covergirl for our big beauty issue. Melissa’s as well as her well-chosen associates freely gave of their knowledge and strongly encouraged all to network.
Melissa Hibbert and Panel Number One
The overall theme and thrust of the event helped visitors to realize one thing… you are not going anywhere without hard work. Every happy ending on stage was the result of trials, tribulations, sweat, working for free, doing favors and believing in one self. Knowing one’s worth, value and talent was another important facet of making it big.
Many shared with the audience that they literally had little to no money when they started out, but they hung in there anyway. What helped make these experts so relentless in their quest for success? It is because they knew they possessed the talent to be someone and they were not going to let anything, not even negativity get in the way.
Isn’t it true that sometimes the biggest enemy or person in the way of our own dreams is ourselves?
We loved how each expert eloquently articulated that fears must be put away and one must look within and believe that they are worth the journey. So then, if any of you are working toward your own definition of success, we admonish you to not give up. You are close to the finish line and we are all waving you in for your trophy.

Zendaya Coleman is one starlet who is never afraid to give a bold hairstyle a try. Moreover, even when there have been those that have attacked her sense of style she put them in place… with grace of course! Therefore, speaking of “grace” if anyone would ever have the guts to channel an iconic look worn by one of fashion’s elite it would have to be by someone confident as well as fearless right?
Well, we definitely have to give it up to Coleman for being such a doll (btw she really is one thanks to Barbie) and paying homage to the legendary Grace Jones with her strands. Zendaya posed for a Mane Addicts photo shoot rocking a High Top Fade that also gave us Kid N’ Play vibes (google kiddies, you’ll get a kick out of those pics when you find them LOL). Nevertheless, all the hair fun did not just stop with Grace Jones, hair stylist Larry Sims showed off his amazing skills using Brooke Shields and Diana Ross as inspiration as well!
Grace Jones High Top Fade From Back In the Day
Larry Sims is one of our favorite hair stylists of all time because he NEVER disappoints. We first became fans seeing his work for Janet Jackson’s All For You tour. Who can forget watching the HBO special and seeing her wavy extensions literally get caught in her sunglasses and she just tugged till they slipped out like it was her own hair. Moreover, she ran her fingers THROUGH like it was her own and nothing was getting hung up anywhere. When it comes to hair that is some serious skills and technique to make tresses look and feel so natural.
Moreover, we love all the various styles that Larry always creates for Lupita Nyong’o. Natural hair can be way healthier than chemically treated hair, but as any woman can attest to, sometimes you just don’t know how to style natural locks. Sims demonstrates time and time again that there is a wide range of styles that can be achieved on natural hair. So then, enjoy the quick look at Zendaya’s stunning hair transformations!

Balmain x H&M Lookbook looks just like his pieces from the runway however extremely more affordable. What is the style of this new collection.

Balmain is about the new generation, and when you wear the clothes, I want you to feel sexy and fierce.
As we know the natural movement is going so strong right now in the black community which is great. It’s nice that we as black woman are embracing our natural textures and seeing that our …

Rose Palhares the genius behind the Angolan fashion brand bearing her name has but together a stunning lookbook that showcases the immense beauty found in African designs. Back in her homeland Rose is revered as “The Fashion Princess” and she has the fashion chops and accolades to back up such a honorary nickname. Palhares won Designer of the Year in 2013 and has been bestowed with the privilege of representing Angolan style at Milan’s Expo 2015.
In regards to the lookbook aptly entitled “New African Aesthetic” that is definitely the vibe we instantly received from it upon first sight. Of course, you will notice west African flavor that is famous for its powerful use of boisterous colors and animal prints including leopard and zebra. Nevertheless, Rose Palhares manages to take iconic styles and morph them into modern, newly envisioned masterpieces!
The overall styling is just as eye-catching as the designs themselves. Models Elsa Baldaia and Silvia Costa both wear bold gold jewelry with hair fashioned into Bantu Knots. Moreover, do not even get us started with the makeup honey! Strong brows, colorful smoked out eyes and some bangin’ dark lip color gave Elsa and Silvia a sultry allure. All hail the fabulous Rose Palhares, The Fashion Princess!
