My Latest Trip to NYC

I know I've been distant from writing on here, so here's my latest rambling. :)

I have been super busy between doing makeup, running Beat & Snatched, and being a mommy! I did get to take a trip to one of my favorite cities to do a little business and a bit of pleasure...NYC!

I got to interview and spread the word with Vibe Vixen and Her Agenda about Beat & Snatched as well as shoot with ANTM Cycle 9 contestant Bianca! Check out some of the pics from the photoshoot and my video interview with Her Agenda!

2nd Annual Naturally Pretty

To my "curlfriends" and beauty enthusiasts:

My friend Mae of Naturalchica.com and I had such a great time and turn out at last year's Naturally Pretty event that we have decided to do it again! We had close to 300 people come out for a great night live entertaiment, beauty demonstrations, sweets, shopping, and lots of swag!

This year's event will be held Wednesday, October 25th at the Defoors Centre in Atlanta, GA from 7-10pm. We are some great things in store so don't miss out! Check out the video recap from last year:

Atlanta Beauty Event: Naturally Pretty

MiMi J and Natural Chica at P3 Lab

2 years ago, when Carol's Daughter opened their store in Atlanta, I went to meet and interview owner Lisa Price for my blog. While interviewing Lisa I met this girl named Mae with a cute tiny afro and pretty skin who was interviewing her too. Fast forward to 2011, I ran into Mae again, whose hair is now huge and gorgeous, at a Curly Nikki meetup. Once I got home, I went back to her blog, and saw that her audience has quadrupled! I said to myself, "I've got to do something with her!" Then the light bulb came on. I contacted her about collaborating on an event, and the rest is history....

Maeling Tapp, of Naturalchica.com, and myself are pleased to present Naturally Pretty: The Fusion of Natural Hair and Beauty this Fall in Atlanta, GA. Naturally Pretty will platform various Atlanta beauty professionals and celebrate the fusion of skincare, makeup, natural hair, art, and music while benefiting the Atlanta Day Shelter for Women and Children.

Naturally Pretty will be held in a beautiful art gallery forum located in the Defoor Centre on October, 27, 2011 at 7pm. The event will evoke energy and artistry while igniting each of the five senses with each step invited guests take. Industry leaders in cosmetics, skincare, and natural hair care will convene collaboratively to educate and inform event goers of how to bring out their natural beauty through complimentary consultations and live beauty demonstrations. Aside from the wall-to-wall beauty installations, invited guests will enjoy live musical performances, celebrity guest appearances, prize giveaways, and light fare. In efforts to give back to women who need to rebuild their self-esteem and assist them in finding their inner/outer beauty, a percentage of the proceeds will be donated to the Atlanta Day Shelter for Women and Children in downtown Atlanta.

Confirmed participates are Robin Groover of Too Groovy and Sutera Hair Spa, Yolanda Owens of Iwi Fresh and Pampered Nail and Spa, Nails by Jayh, P3 Lab, and celebrity makeup artists Jeremy Dell and Alexandra Butler.

Be one of the first 100 to register and you'll get a giftbag full of goodies!! Hope to see you there!
