Me with the great, beautiful & kind Kim Coles
New York City greeted me this week with the same irresistible fervor it had the day I decided to leave the bright lights behind. Returning made me realize just how much I truly missed the city. The sounds, the smells, the glitz, glam and most importantly…. Fashion Week.
Friday evening I popped into the Texture on the Runway fashion show at the City Winery. Talk about inspiration! Bloggers and attendees showed up and showed out with fabulous hair, gorgeous color-blocking ensembles and fierce lip colors that will inspire a productive morning trip at Sephora’s today. My favorite bloggers, LoveBrownSugar and AfroBella were in attendance and looking fierce (as always) and... -

Hey OBVs. As I finish up a few last details before heading to NYC to participate in fashion week I wanted to share some info on an event (among many) I’ll be attending this Saturday.
Iman Cosmetics will be hosting this star-studded makeup event in Harlem and if you happen to be in the area you must attend! While she hasn’t yet gone organic I still like to get a sneak peak on makeup trends and see what’s going on in the brown beauty industry.
RSVP To: rsvp@goodgirlpr.com
Don’t worry if you’re not in my neck of the wood come Saturday, I’ll be tweeting and posting pictures on my Facebook page and following up with posts next week.
Love and Beauty,

The Gift of Beauty: Donating Your Hair Products to Women in Need
You know you have a jar of whatever sitting in the back of your closet in a dark box of products you say you’re going to use and never do. Before someone reports people like us to hoarders anonymous there’s a way we can take our used once and tossed to the beauty box products and gift them to women who are displaced.
This year, Good Hair Salon in Seattle, Washington is having a product drive collecting new and SLIGHTLY used hair products to donate to the Orion homeless shelter and I feel like all of us can support in this cause.
Send your product donations directly to Good Hair Salon in-person or mail to:

I’ve officially been in Seattle for about six months now visiting with family, re-introducing myself to the city and working on projects with new found friends.
