The couple that dresses twins together, stays together? Could be a working solution to relationship bliss. Jordin Sparks and her man Jason Derulo were all smiles and kissy kissy on the red carpet at yesterday’s VMAs. The couple opted to wear white couture and which we thought was an amazing fashion choice for them. Keep twinning alive you guys, you look great!
This is nothing but a TKO for both parties! A few weeks back Keri scored the nod of our Hair of the Week for her purple tip French braids and now Keke has hit the scene with her own version. Who rocks the trendy look the best? After much deliberation and several Starbucks coffees we just could not pick a winner, so this hair battle is a tie. Keri and Keke both look stunning and you can too! This summery hairstyle will still be a hot trend for the fall and winter seasons. So then, braid away this look is here to stay.

We only watched parts of a couple of the preseason games this past week and it sure seemed like an overabundance of penalty flags were being thrown. A number of the penalties appeared to be called against the defensive backs for illegal contact or holding. Honestly, how in the world are the defensive players supposed to play defense?
It goes without saying that football is a contact sport so why can’t the defensive players touch the offensive players without getting a penalty? What is this flag football, powder puff football or (gasp) futbol? Seriously, if they are going to take defense out of football it is not going to be the same game we have all come to know and love.
Let’s just hope that the refs had itchy trigger fingers because they haven’t been able to penalize anyone for the past several months. Of course, the NFL did say that they were going to enforce the illegal contact rule even more this season. If the preseason, so far, is any indication of what we can expect in the regular season then we, the fans, are screwed. Games will be longer and a lot more boring. All we can do is hope the refs ease up as the season progresses and just lets the players play.
On a side note, we get the feeling that Tony Romo’s back injury may prevent him from having as productive a season as the Cowboys would like. We have no inside sources or anything concrete to back that up, it’s just a hunch. If he can’t play as well as he is capable of playing then the Cowboys won’t even make it to their mediocre 8-8 record they have had for the past few seasons. Oh well, there aren’t any Cowboy fans writing for this blog anyway…

Hair Quickie: Tying your hair back super tight could eventually run you the risk of developing hair loss. Pulling your tresses back tightly can train your locks to grow scarily close to the surface of your scalp. Over time if this continues, your hairs can grow so close to the surface that they lose their grip in the skin and fall out. Don’t get tied down, keep things a little more loose when you can.
A hot sizzling trend of the season is a nude lip. You might feel that matching your lip color to your skin tone will look weird or boring. However, au contraire that is when the real magic and dramatics begin!
This classy look when done properly draws just as much attention as a bolder more boisterous shade would. Be very careful to make sure all dead skin as well as flakes have been removed prior to lip tint application. Failure to do so could result in the final result looking like your lips are bumpy and that is so not cute. This trend gives off a very natural and sophisticated vibe.
We are fans of MAC Cosmetics Pedro Lourenco Summer 2014 lipstick collection. We recommend the MAC Cosmetics Pedro Lourenco Summer 2014 Peach Beige lipstick to achieve a nude lip. Happy shopping!
Beauty Notes: This is kind off topic, but not really! HA! Here are a few more shades from the MAC Cosmetics Pedro Lourenco Summer 2014 collection that we thought were simply stunning.

We heard this one and had to take a spritz in honor of the lovely Nia Long! Nia has become the first African American 
spokesperson for White Diamonds, the wildly popular fragrance made famous by Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor. Long has been a fixture in film both in front as well as behind the camera. Talented, beautiful and now leaving she is leaving her mark in the beauty world as well.
Elizabeth Taylor’s White Diamonds perfume not only made women feel strong and sexy, but helped a good cause. While alive proceeds from the White Diamonds fragrance benefited the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. Congratulations Nia and to quote Rihanna, “Shine bright like a diamond!”
The NFL Hall of Fame Induction took place this past Saturday and we would like to congratulate all the inductees, particularly, Derrick Brooks and Ray Guy. For Ray Guy, it’s about darn time since he was only the greatest punter ever; we have no idea why he was snubbed for so long. Derrick Brooks was simply a great defensive player who put his heart and soul into the game but still came across as one of the nicest guys off the field.
Regarding the Hall of Fame game played on Sunday between the New York Giants and the Buffalo Bills, it actually wasn’t too bad as far as preseason games go. There were long bombs, tough runs and hard hits. It’s too early to tell if either of these teams will be able to improve upon their less than stellar performances last season, but it certainly looked as if guys were trying hard to earn a coveted roster spot on their respective teams.
Lots of people poo-poo the preseason and refuse to watch the games; however, since we are die-hard NFL fans we will be tuning in each week to the preseason games and sharing any thoughts we might have about them. It may just be the preseason, but it’s still football and we’re glad to have it back. The NFL network will be airing the games starting on Thursday this week, so tune in and get yourself primed for the regular season. Even if you don’t find the games all that exciting, you could have some fun pretending to be the head coach and deciding who makes the roster and who doesn’t.
Whether you watch them or not, the preseason games let us know that the 2014 regular season is just around the corner and in the words of Bart Scott, we “can’t wait”!
Zoe Saldana wore a sexy LBD (Little Black Dress) to a taping for Late Show with David Letterman. Her dress showcased her cute baby bump and the mommy-to-be even gave herself some height with some stunning pointed toe Jimmy Choo stilettos! We thought her heels jazzed up her ensemble just enough without being over-bearing. Shoes should compliment, not scream out their presence.
