With only a couple days left in June, Black Music Month is going out with a bang. Singer Alicia Keys treated true R&B/pop music fans to ear candy with the release of her new, slightly anthemic single, “New Day.”
After attending the launch party for Angela Simmons’ new hair extensions line last week, I realized that my music taste is stuck in the past. During the party, I only heard one song (something by Beyoncé) that I knew and could happily hum along to.
Surely, had I stayed longer, familiar “old school” tracks would’ve trickled in between the current hits, but for my duration “new school” tunes dominated the DJ’s playlist.
It seems like I’m becoming one of those people whom I heard growing up saying, “They don’t make good music anymore.” Well, I’m not sure if that’s completely true, but I do know that I have been left out of the popular music scene ever since I moved to New York nearly a decade ago.
Maybe it’s because I don’t drive here to hear what’s hot on the radio or perhaps it’s due to the fact that I’d much rather listen to more customized music picks from Pandora or Music Choice (Throwback Jamz). Whatever the case, contemporary music has taken a backseat for me.
While my nieces and nephew are fans of Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Big Sean, I’m still “bank-head bouncing” to R&B and pop hits of the 80s, 90s, and aughts (I know, I’m not sure how the 2000s got coined that either)!
Do you listen to the radio on a daily basis? Who are some of your favorite artists past or present?
Forget basic blues and even those eye-catching bright hues while jean shopping this summer. Instead, switch things up with fun patterned pairs.
From florals to polka-dots to ikat designs, dive right into sexy yet playful denim duds this season for an unexpected alternative.
Check out a few chic choices:
In case you haven’t already check out Carol’s Daughter relatively new site, TransitioningMovement.com, it’s a wonderful online destination for women going through various transitions in their lives.
While the site’s focus is mainly on transitioning from chemically-treated to natural hair (tips, products, etc.), it also features beauty, fashion, lifestyle, and mind & body write-ups. The site’s aim is to be the resource for your journey.

June is Acne Awareness Month and unfortunately, my skin seems to be “celebrating.” For the past few months, my skin has been sprinkled with breakouts. Seriously, my skin is starting to resemble a tween’s instead of a 32-year-old’s!
I’m not sure if it’s the stress of potty-training a toddler (I recently accomplished that huge feat) or simply hormonal. Whatever the culprit, I’ve been giving Rx for Brown Skin’s new acne products a go in hopes that they will halt my newfound skin horrors.
Founded by a BG dermatologist, Dr. Susan Taylor, the line speaks to our specific skin needs.
So far, the Precise Clarity spot treatment has been successful at shrinking my zits overnight. The salicylic acid-based formula soaks up the gunk leaving behind a much more presentable pimple (if such a thing exists). Plus, once applied it gives a slight tingle, which makes me feel like it’s really working! But, wait what’s worse than unsightly blemishes? Dark spots aka hyper-pigmentation that’s what. Luckily, the Clear Luminosity hydrating cne lotion tackles the post-pimple plight by evening skin tone.
If your skin seems to be taking you on a roller-coaster ride hop off and get some stability with this amazing BG brand.
Have you ever tried Rx for Brown Skin products?
