I hope you all enjoyed your day. This is my first Mother's Day without both my mom or my grandmother. I lost them both last year. I am thankful for the time I had with them and the lessons about being a woman and a mother that they taught me. That is my little lady (Arrhia) in the picture above. I am shaking my head because I want to know what happened to my little baby. She tells me all the time, mommy I am eleven now. It does not matter, she is still my baby. LOL!</span><br />

I was asked by my friend who is a cosmetologist, if I would do the makeup of her model for some promotional posters for an upcoming hair and fashion show. I really enjoyed working on the photo shoot. Trust me it is very hard work. The following are some pics that I was able to snap behind the scenes. I cannot wait until I get the final pics(I will try to post a few of them later). Our model Muffin did a fantastic job!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I purchased this dress for my BD trip to Turks and Caicos. I must first acknowledge that </span><a href="http://www.eshakti.com/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">eShakti</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> has very fast service. I had my dress 10 days after ordering, plus I had to have it customized for my height. I am really impressed with their service. It is made of cotton satin and came in a beautiful royal blue color with a white applique. The dress is well made and fully lined. I have since visited their site and now this dress comes in two additional colors, black with white applique and black with a red applique. The best thing about </span><a href="http://www.eshakti.com/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">eShakti </span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">is their prices are affordable for customized clothing. I definitely recommend this site to all my plus size divas. </span><br />

I picked up a few goodies. I got items that I thought would look good on my skin while I am on vacation in Turks and Caicos for my BD next month. Below are the pics and swatches of what I got. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also wanted the Ripe Peach Ombre Blush, Vintage Grape Ombre Blush, and Electric Fuschia Lipglass from MAC's Spring Colour Forecast collections but they were sold out. It is sold out online as well. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Give Me Liberty of London Collection was on display also. I just was not moved to purchase anything from this collection, even though the packaging was really cute. </span><br />
<br />

Therefore all of my purchases have been along that line lately. I am really pleased with my blush selections. They are really gorgeous on the skin. I just lubb(lol!) me some Sweet as Cocoa.

This is my second lace front wig. I wore this wig to my fraternity brother's 40th birthday party on Saturday. I received so many compliments on this wig. I really like the style. It is a nice chic bob with plenty of fullness. I ordered it in a 1B. The texture of the hair is really nice and soft. It is not too shiny. It is part of the futura line, which means it is safe to curl up to 400 degrees Farenheit. I have not tried to curl this unit. Some other futura reviewers suggest you use temperatures quite a bit lower than 400 degrees. Also, I must note that this unit has a much wider lace front and that the lace is from ear to ear. This unit has three combs in the front and one in the back, plus adjustable straps. No glue or tape is necessary. It is a snug fit.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I ordered this wig from </span><a href="http://www.hairsisters.com/ver2/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hairsisters.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. I paid $41.49. Hairsisters has a sale this weekend with 20% off of all of their wigs. The Sonya wig is currently on sale for $33.19.</span><br />

I watched Ebony from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29CXEFKNUnQ">ColouredBeautiful's You Tube Channel</a> do a review on the wig in the picture below. Normally, I would have not given this wig a second look. However, Miss Ebony rocked this wig in her You Tube video. I just had to have this wig. I purchased it from </span><a href="http://www.goldenmartbeautysupply.com/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Golden Mart Beauty Supply</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. It cost more than it cost Ebony but the site she bought her from went out of business. I have now found this wig on </span><a href="http://www.hairstopandshop.com/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hair Stop and Shop</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> for $21.99. I love this wig. I just wish I can find it in a #1 or #1B.</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I saw pics of Taraji from the Essence Black Women in Music Event. She inspired me to try a red lippie. Those that know me, know that I am not a lipstick wearer and most definitely not red lipstick. I prefer my tinted lip glosses any day over a lipstick. Although lately, I have been eyeing </span><a href="http://www.limecrimemakeup.com/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lime Crime's opaque lipstick</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> in Airborne Unicorn and My Beautiful Rocket. </span></div><br />

Many people in the industry are well aware of Floyd's creative genius. She was often praised for her gifts in the Make-up World. She has created magic on many faces that we all love and adore. Some of her celebrity clients include Queen Latifah, Whitney Houston, and Angela Bassett. She was on ANTM with the Queen. According to </span><a href="http://sharonquinn.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Quinn's blog</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, Ms. Floyd was instrumental in developing the Queen Latifah's Collection by Cover Girl. I really love the bronzers from that collection.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Roxanna Floyd will be greatly missed. My heartfelt prayers go out to all of her family and friends.</span>Alycia's Hot Spot!http://www.blogger.com/profile/04949630772158880242noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547515050084504370.post-84626248203990635642010-01-17T18:04:00.000-08:002010-01-18T09:40:44.746-08:00Congratulations To Mo'Nique!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tvuciaQ0-h8/S1ScPHeaT1I/AAAAAAAAAKo/CwibYt2Jba8/s1600-h/monique.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tvuciaQ0-h8/S1ScPHeaT1I/AAAAAAAAAKo/CwibYt2Jba8/s640/monique.jpg" /></a><br />

I lost both my mom and grandmother to cancer in less than 2 months apart. As a result of those events I did not blog as often as I would have liked. As I reflect on my life and focus on my future, I am going to live my life as if it is "golden". I have come to realize that life is truly just a moment in time. I am at a lost for words at the devastation that has occured in Haiti. Haiti is my grandfather's home. We just recieved word yesterday that his brother's oldest son had succumbed. Please continue to keep my family and the people of Haiti in your prayers. Most importantly, please donate to the American Red Cross!</span><br />

<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I was inspired by Jamie from Rural Glamour to post my 2010 Beauty </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Resolutions.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: white;">The List:<br />
<span id="goog_1262854554846"></span><span id="goog_1262854554848"></span>1. To take better of my skin. I have to admit I am sometimes to lazy to wash the make up off of my face.<br />
2.To drink more water. I am going to aim for my 8 glasses a day.<br />
3.To due more looks of the day and post them to my blog. Plus, I want to build my blog and make it better. <br />
4.To perfect the perfect brow. LOL! <br />
5.To be more open to do others makeup. I have a girlfriend who is a stylist and she is always asking me to come to her salon and do the makeup for some of her clients. I always turn her down. I will overcome my nerves and explore working with others<span id="goog_1262854554849"></span><span id="goog_1262854554847"></span>.</span></span>Alycia's Hot Spot!http://www.blogger.com/profile/04949630772158880242noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547515050084504370.post-15520679112414681802010-01-02T14:02:00.000-08:002010-01-02T14:03:56.949-08:00Review – Carol’s Daughter Almond Cookie Body and Bath Oil<div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:593747d8-c515-4bb5-b9f0-c16cdadcceff" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent">Technorati Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Carol's+Daughter" rel="tag">Carol's Daughter</a></div> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_tvuciaQ0-h8/Sz_CyIcCrHI/AAAAAAAAAHI/gcqZttNjPA4/s1600-h/SDC10734%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="SDC10734" border="0" alt="SDC10734" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_tvuciaQ0-h8/Sz_Cy4QuiFI/AAAAAAAAAHM/NmngkaXjk_E/SDC10734_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="149" /></a> <p>I have heard such good things about <a href="http://www.carolsdaughter.com">Carol’s Daughter</a> products. One of the gifts I got for Christmas was Some Carol’s Daughter goodies. I received Almond Cookie Body and Bath Oil, Almond Cookie Sea Salt Body Scrub, and Ecstasy Shea Body Lotion. All I can say is that all of the products smell so divine. I have not had a chance to use the Almond Cookie Sea Salt Body Scrub or Ecstasy Shea Body Lotion. I used the Almond Cookie Body and Bath Oil after my shower and was really pleased at how well it moisturized my extremely dry skin. Plus it had me smelling very scrumptious. LOL! I will definitely be buying more of Carol’s Daughter products in the future.  Please visit <a href="http://www.carolsdaughter.com">site</a> and explore the variety of products plus there are how to videos on the site.</p> Alycia's Hot Spot!http://www.blogger.com/profile/04949630772158880242noreply@blogger.com0
