If you happen to experience dairy breakouts you may wonder does dairy cause acne in all girls? Acne can occur for a number of reasons and sometimes many ladies do not think of food as being the culprit. More logical reasons always seem to be cosmetics, lack of sleep or even stress. Therefore, what is so wrong with dairy products in the first place? Dairy is fine, but how everyone reacts to it is different.

Does Dairy Cause Acne in All Girls?

It can be tough to give up dairy in order to avoid breakouts. For that would mean no more ice cream, yogurt and cheese can almost sound like a death sentence. However, there are still plenty of other yummy foods that can be consumed that can make the food switch up worth it. One would have to think long and hard whether to continue to experience dairy acne or cut out dairy in exchange for smooth, gorgeous skin.

So then what causes this type of skin issue? Studies indicate that some milk-based products contain hormones from cows. These very cow hormones in some people stimulate the sebaceous glands. As a result, acne is created. Therefore to answer the question at the forefront of this post, no this reaction is not seen in all women. Most will not have to cut out dairy from their diet but it is a good thing to try if acne keeps occurring after indulging in milk-based products.

Fashionable Mention: Beige and Coco Faux Fur Coat

Arianne Suggs November 26, 2016November 26, 2016Leave a Comment

It did not take long for us to become huge fans of Draya Michele’s brand Beige and Coco. Her collection is very her and has a rich, luxury feel. One piece that is definitely noteworthy is the Beige and Coco Faux Coat.

Fashionable Mention: Beige and Coco Faux Fur Coat

Our love for the Beige and Coco Faux Fur Coat came about for a number of reasons. For one, it is a piece that can instantly be described as “classic.” If you are looking for a way to add a bit of affluence and extravagance to your wardrobe, a fur coat will accomplish that in seconds. For years, fur coats have been associated with opulence and wealthiness. Think old Hollywood and you will instantly get the picture.

Nevertheless, it is usually the price tag associated with fur coats that is enough to make some go never mind. Also, there’s the amount of cruelty that is linked to production as well as the design processes used by many major brands. Draya Michele is taking the high road with these issues when it comes to her fashions. She commented on her signature coat by stating:

“To FUR or not to FUR… we all wonder about a few things when it comes to fUR… principles and price. When deciding to add FUR to my line, I decided to take the humane way out by designing a Faux FUR coat. It’s stylish, warm and affordable! I hope you all love.”

We have to agree that the coat is stylish and an attention grabber. This particular fur coat comes in different shades, a gorgeous noire tint as well as wine. Therefore, go ahead and indulge a little this winter and look like a true diva in a beautiful faux fur coat!

Sty-eye : Could My Eye Makeup Be the Cause?

Arianne Suggs November 25, 2016November 25, 2016Leave a Comment

Oh, the uncomfortable and unsightly joys of a sty-eye. Those bumps that suddenly appear along the eyelid can make you feel like your experiencing a scene from Alien. However, there could be a very logical reason as to why the flare up happened in the first place. What causes sty-eye and how can it be prevented?

Sty-eye : Could My Eye Makeup Be the Cause?

In short, yes your eye makeup could be the cause. Especially, if it is very old. Why is this the case? Sties are caused when bacteria becomes trapped within the gland openings along the eyelid. Once this occurs a bump forms which can appear to be quite red. These bumps are often very painful and swollen thus making your eye look less normal.

There are a plethora of ways that bacteria can be transferred to the eye line. This could happen by sharing eye makeup brushes as well as eye makeup in general. As a rule you should always avoid sharing makeup that is applied near sensitive areas such as the eye.

Another way bacteria can seep its way into glands is going to sleep with eye makeup such as eyeliner still on. As you know occasionally getting your beauty rest on with makeup is not harmful. However, making it a habit can lead to many skin issues. Acne and yep, you guessed it sty-eye.

The Ugly Truth

The third way bacteria can potentially cause a sty is due to using super old makeup. Now, we are all guilty of keeping older makeup in our beauty bags. This is because it can take years to find that perfect color or product that just gets the job done like no other.

Yet, it is old makeup that can breed and house bacteria that can easily find its way into your glands. When it comes to eyeliner you especially need to use caution. Liners are applied regularly to and near the water line. Which means that it can easily wreck havoc if contaminated with bacteria.

When should you toss out your liner? It is highly recommended that liquid liners be removed from your beauty arsenal after three months. Pencil eyeliners have a longer shelf life and can be safely used for six months.

The Sty-Eye Fix

So lets say you have done everything you can to prevent a sty but you are still dealing with the little bugger. How can you treat a sty without causing any additional irritation?

First of all, whatever you do don’t attempt to drain or squeeze the sty yourself. We have heard some horrors stories in our day. Two words: a needle. Just be kind to yourself plus your eyes and perform a warm compress instead.

Simply warm a washcloth with hot water and then place the cloth on the affected eye area. In time you will definitely notice a difference. A few other things to keep in mind is to toss any old makeup and avoid eye makeup until everything is better. By keeping all these tips in mind you can heal, avoid and prevent sty-eye.

Grow Hair Faster: What to Eat

Arianne Suggs November 25, 2016November 25, 2016Leave a Comment

Every day us girls are bombarded with images of women with small waists, shapely derrieres, beat faces and down-to-there hair. Companies promise that teas, waist trainers or a pill can create this look for each and every one of us. Yet, when it comes to hair growth what is that we really need to help us to attain results? We have the key, read on to learn how to grow hair faster.

Grow Hair Faster: What to Eat

If you were to poll a group of open and honest girls you may find nutrition to be towards the bottom of the how to grow hair faster list. Not because it does not work, but since there’s so many things that can place the spotlight elsewhere. There’s shampoos, conditioners, leave-ins, hair oils, hair masks, deep treatments, vitamins and the list goes on and on.

However, consuming the right foods should never be overlooked. Why would having the right diet help a lady grow hair faster? It really boils down to three things:

nutrients
revitalization
essential oils

While product may give your hair great results, there is nothing like working from the inside out. Think about it, to run properly your body needs good foods in general. Your strands are not any different. The overall health of your hair depends on the type of nourishment you supply it. Therefore, if your hair is shedding, dull or very weak you may need to take a closer look at your diet. The right diet will ensure that your hair is receiving all of what’s listed above so that longer hair will definitely be in your prospects.

Grow Hair Faster

So what type of foods should one eat and why? To grow hair faster hair experts the world over swear by a diet rich in protein, minerals and vitamins. Some examples of this include:

Lean Fish
Beans
Leafy Vegetables
Chicken
Seeds
Eggs

Eating these foods are helpful because hair is basically made up of protein. As a result, tresses in turn need protein in order to remain healthy and shiny. Hair growth can only be promoted when strands receive all the sustenance and provisions they need to grow.

Moreover, getting enough protein affects the construction of hair and revitalizes it. This means you will make your hair stronger and refresh it so that it is all set and ready to grow longer. Eating right in a way lays the foundation and groundwork for longer, silkier and healthier hair in the future.

Arianne Suggs November 15, 2016November 15, 2016Leave a Comment

On a yearly basis black girls spend millions of dollars on hair care and related products. Hair is a lucrative industry that is quite “untapped” when it comes to black female entrepreneurs. Nevertheless, in recent years there has been a real push and emergence of boss ladies who are helping to change the scene for good. Therefore, today meet Briogeo CEO Nancy Twine, the hair industry’s natural sensation!

Meet Briogeo CEO Nancy Twine – Hair Industry’s Natural Sensation

Here are a few quick facts on Briogeo CEO Nancy Twine Hair Care line. Her products use natural ingredients and are available in the States as well as Canada. She sales a very impressive variety of products including shampoo, conditioner, heat protector, deep conditioning hair mask, overnight hair treatment and much, much more.

You can purchase Briogeo products by going here. Also, feel free to head to your local mall because Briogeo is sold at Sephora too! Thanks to hair pioneers like Nancy it is becoming easier to get great products without harmful ingredients.

Briogeo CEO Nancy Twine

Nancy would like everyone to know more about her and her awesome hair products. Here is what she had to say:

“Hi guys! I’m Nancy Twine, the founder and CEO of Briogeo Hair Care. I’ve been lucky to have met a handful of Briogeo fans during events and visits to many of the stores that carry our brand. But the truth of the matter is, most of you don’t know who I am and I’m hoping to fix that.

I’m a pretty behind-the-scenes type od person and have been so focused on the backstage elements of the brand. Like with our team of chemists to create awesome new formulas we hope you fall in love with or helping to support our small team of 4 kickass women in our NYC office. But despite all of that, I think its super important that I get to know you and you get to know me.

I’ll be sprinkling some behind-the-scenes love on our IG page more often so you can get a firsthand glimpse into what goes into creating and building a beauty brand. Also, the unfiltered realness of what it’s like to be a 30-something-year old running a business in NYC. Wherever this journey leads I’m excited to share it with you. Nice to meet you. 🙂 xx, Nancy.”

The Last Word

Seeing women like Briogeo CEO Nancy Twine excites us about future possibilities. We hope stories like this will encourage more black girls to help take back the hair industry. We set trends, pay TONS for hair products and yet do not own many hair companies or beauty supply stores.

Let’s put an end to this business trend and start getting a piece of the pie that we are helping to make on a daily business. Its our hair, our money and we should be apart of the success as well. Thank you Nancy Twine for your tireless efforts and example showing us all that it can be done and done well! Go girl!
