How to Get Beautiful Skin for Spring and Summer How to Get Beautiful There are several benefits to wearing
sunscreen such as:

to do prepare your skin for its upcom-
ing debut.

1. EXFOLIATE
Exfoliation is the skin’s natural pro-
cess of shedding dead cells. By
adding exfoliation to your skin care
routine, you can assist this natural
process at the surface and encourage
newer, better-looking skin. Exfoliation
keeps skin looking clean, healthy,
more uniform in tone and less likely
to break out. It improves all types of
skin and all types of concerns.
It is important to invest in a good exfo-
liant one for your face and another for
the rest of your body. The winter can

leave skin dry, dull and sometimes
even cracked and flaky. Exfoliate your
face and your body two or three times
a week to help create a smooth com-
plexion.
There are many scrubs and body
polishers available everywhere from
your local drug stores and department
stores to your local spas.
Lady Emmy
In addition to drinking water, there are several
great products that will properly hydrate your
skin. For your face, use a moisturizer that is an
oil-free, anti-inflammatory moisturizer for use
morning and evening to rehydrate the skin and
help break the oil production cycle. You should
use an effective light weight moisturizer works
well under your sunscreen and make-up.

2. HYDRATE
It’s very important to drink lots of
water leading up to and during warm-
er months. The fluids help your skin
detoxify from the inside out.
3. PROTECT
Sun protection is very important all year round,
but especially in the warmer weather. After
cleansing in the morning, apply a good sun-
screen of at least SPF30, over your moisturizer.

Don’t Stare Natural Hair!!!!
By: Jtouch
Houston's premier So, as a natural hair stylist and a natural hair advocate….
makeup artistry supply store. if I must add, I can honestly say I have heard and seen it
PRO makeup, tools, all. I have experienced personally, how people tend to
stare at my natural hair sisters and brothers. Whether
workshops, classes and it be a good stares that leads to most of the time to the
makeup school. annoying questioning, (Oh that’s beautiful!!, What prod-
ucts do you use, or the worst one, can I touch it!?) and
then we have those days when we get those bad stares
and even more annoying yet slightly rude questioning…
(What is that called?, why does it look that way, who did
that?, and of course can I touch it!!) As if “that” is a prop-
er term to describe your beautiful curly, wavy, coarse,
and even straight beautiful natural hair!! Yes, I did say
straight!! So, let’s start with the definition of Natural;
which can be found the Miriam-Webster’s dictionary.
The definition states: existing in nature and not made
or caused by people: coming from nature: not having
any extra substances or chemicals added: not containing
anything artificial. Which, if I may add, some celebrities
I have watched in the entertainment industry has truly
made statements that it is ok to be the way you are.
For example, Lady Gaga has branded this well, with one
of her hit day view singles which is known nationwide,
“BORN THIS WAY”. In research on the natural topic, that
seems to be at hand now a days, I have dissected a little
themuaproject.com deeper, to see the real and true reasoning behind the
281.988.0300 textures of our hair. We are genetically made to adapt to
11011 S Wilcrest our genial code, whether our roots are from the desserts
Suite K of Africa, to the middle eastern mountains of Asia, to the
Houston,Texas 77099 plains of the European valleys, we are all created to be its
each and own individual, and whether we choose to en-
hance our natural beauty with, hair accents, as far as col-
oring or even adding extensions we all are each unique in
our own naturally special way. Now let’s touch on some
of the natural trends that has swept the hair industry,
providing some of the most influential styles thus far.
Let’s start with Locs, I myself have locs. Brother locs to
be exact a relative of Sister locs. These type are small-
er in diameter of regular locs, most commonly called
Dreadlocks. As the year have gone by, I have truly seen
this type of styling method in every culture that has a
culture. They can be most commonly found in the West
African cultures. However after research they have been
rooted from all over the world. Originally rooted in North
Africa dated back all the way from the 19th century, Locs
has been seen in the West Asia region, throughout the
Spartan era of Greece, they have rocked locs in West In-
donesia , and even in the Pakistan culture. Which clearly
states that locs are merely but a natural culture, a way
living, a lifestyle, sometimes even can go so far to be a
fashion statement. Which if you ask me, from a creation
that started so long ago, and can withstand many eras of
hair movements and constant change. I could honestly
say if I was natural “wink wink” Locs would probably be
the road for me. They are so ever changing. You can cut
them, you can color them, you can, crinkle them, you
can braid them. They are just limitless! These are just a
few of the great things I have found about the wonderful
natural loc styling method.
Now another natural hair style that I have seen trending
and I just absolutely lovely, is the ever so delicate and yet
if pulled and grabbed a little harder can be very bold and
becoming…Lets introduce the Lovely Braid, or also com-
monly called the Plait. The first Braid or Plait has been
dated back to 3000 BC just off the bank of the Nile River
in Ancient Egypt. Just as the Loc culture these braids
have been displayed all through Asia, South America, and
hey what can I say I have never seen the Roman culture
rock the best Crown braid/plait ever. It speak boldness,
and greatness. I can say even though this method can
be a more tedious and lengthy method love everything
about the braiding method. There are so many differ-
ent techniques that can be associated with the braiding
technique which gives us many options and styling tactics
which will always keep the braiders’ juices flowing.
Now the last but certainly not the least favorite of natu-
ral hair styles is the all-natural of the all-natural, the one
that gets the most common riff raff of them all. You know
the one I’m talking about, come on…. think a little hard-
er…. OK, OK, I’ll tell you, but to be honest, you already
know what it is.. It’s the natural hair style in you, wheth-
er it be a frizzy bed head Ted, or a curly Que Sue, or hey,
maybe even a coily compressed Jess, whatever it may,
be it’s you!!! We may fuss, we may fight, some may stare
and some may glare, but just know, you are your natural
hairstyle, express how ever, when ever, which ever way
possible just make sure to keep it healthy! Visit your local
licensed hairstylist to help you with your essential natural
needs!!
Blessings,

Beauty Rejuvenation Begins with BIAO Skincare

Pure and Effective Skincare Creating Soothing, Moisturizing and Anti-Aging Effects

Houston, TX – (February 17, 2015) Beautiful inside and out, the acronym and essence of BIAO
Skincare, a Houston Texas bases emerging skincare company. A budding face in the beauty industry,
Biao Skincare has set itself apart in the saturated market of natural beauty products. The pure, honest
and effective skincare collection consists of three remarkable beauty essentials—a rejuvenating
cleanser, lightweight night crème, and revitalizing facial mask. Dedicated to healthy beauty, the three
products create soothing and age-defying effects resulting in flawless skin.

“To be beautiful means you have a light that shines in the darkest of places,” says founder Nicole
Baldwin. As a child Nicole’s face was severely burned in a cooking accident that left her with facial
scaring. “My grandmother began making her own herbal remedies using vitamin E to heal my scars
and it worked!” When creating Biao Skincare Nicole trusted her grandmother’s skin curing ingredients
and amended a signature formula with a few of her own. The two essential luminary ingredients used
in the Beauty Rejuvenating Collection are EpiCalmin TCM, a formula traditionally used in Chinese
medicine practices and Babassu oil, a seeded oil that grows in the Amazon.

In the natural beauty world Biao Skincare is the first of its kind to mix luxury with green. With global
beautification in mind, Biao has focused its philanthropic purposes to creating 100% recyclable and
post-consumer content packaging. Each box in the Biao Skincare collection is thoughtfully
handcrafted using textured tree-free fibers resulting in both an elegant and fresh appearance.
Recognized for its altruistic aspirations, Biao was selected for HBA’s International Package Design
Awards as finalist for Green Packaging.

Biao Skincare is a socially responsible natural and organic skincare line that will nurture skin of all
ages using pure and effective ingredients. Founded in 2010 by Nicole Baldwin, Biao Skincare provides
consumers with beneficial products that can help increase the appearance of their skin while also
unleashing their beauty. For more information about Biao Skincare visit www.biaoskincare.com.

Why Pay Top Dollar!
By Styl-Ash
You should not have to pay top dollar just to
be at the top of fashion. So here are the top 5
stores for the Styl-ash bargain shopper.

1. Mashall’s
2. T.J. Max
3. Ross
4. Target( On Sale Items ONLY)
5. Amazon.com

#5 May come as a surprise to some of you but

I have found an item I just had to have on Am-
azon.com for 1/3 the price I would see listed
on an online boutique. Take it from me, fash-
ion does not have to cost a fortune to make you
look gorgeous!!!!
On any given day you will catch me with my
$3 purse from Target or my $10 dress from
Amazon and still be CUTE! And don’t be
afraid to shop on sale items only...this gets
you the most bang for your buck.

Fashion Accents
By Shellia
Jewelry designer Jacquie Aiche has earned quite the rep-
utation—for evidence, look no further than her biggest
fan, Rihanna. The LA resident (and mother of two) has
stood by her luxe, bohemian aesthetic—think large col-
orful stones, ear cuffs, delicate hand chains, and layered
pendants—since launching her first collection three years
ago, and now, this kind of adornment is seeing its mo-
ment in reputably measured Manhattan. Further proof of
the hippie-meets-punk movement: At the NYC preview
of her latest collection (hosted by jewelry hotspot Love,
Adorned), dozens of editors lined up to receive free
piercings—many of them just adding to already heavily
decorated ears. Where last year saw delicate ring stacks
and tiny gold hoops as the trend du jour, now, it seems
that trendsetters can’t stop piling—or piercing—it all on.
Related: Bold Gold Jewelry That Makes a Statement
Another hot-button topic (although perhaps less of a
“trend,” per say): marijuana. Aiche has a collection of
cannabis-inspired baubles (a particular Rihanna favorite).
But while she’s clearly fearless in her design, she rec-
ognizes that some concepts—no matter how “in” they
might be—just aren’t for her. She talked to us about the
gemstone that won’t be appearing in her collection any
time soon, what it’s like to call RiRi a fan, and her newest
addition to her line: cannabis leaf-embellished leather
jackets.
What first pushed you into designing jewelry?
I’ve been around fashion most of my life and was always
intrigued by the creation process. At the time I started
designing jewelry, there wasn’t much on the market that
I found interesting. I wanted to create a different outlet
for women to adorn themselves.
How does your Egyptian/American Indian background
provide inspiration?
There is such a mixture in the collection. Sometimes, I
feel like a belly dancer and other days, I can be inspired
by natural raw American Turquoise and feathers.
How have you seen your company grow since the begin-
ning?
From a few ladies in my garage to a team of 10 now, we
are still packing and shipping everything in-house. It’s re-
ally important to maintain the family atmosphere around
here. The Tribe I have behind me means everything.
Tell me about your newest pieces and the inspiration
behind them. Any favorites in particular?
It’s been a really fun year. We have been playing around
and enjoying all the energy coming our way. My latest
creations are the Exotic leather jackets. Kind of like when
the finger bracelets were born, they are making all the
ladies so excited which inspires me even more!
Delicate gold jewelry and cool piercings are having such
a moment in the fashion world right now. What is the
one piece of jewelry that you think is the ultimate It-girl
staple?
The It-girl staple wardrobe consists of a finger bracelet,
pinky ring, ear jacket and a statement ring that defines
your individuality.
I love working with the sweet leaf—it’s my tribute to
growing up in California!
What trends do you see coming up next for jewelry and
cool-girl fashion?
I do see a lot of pearls out there at the moment; I’m
going to let everyone ride that wave while I tune in and
create my new collection.
We’ve heard whisperings that belly button piercings are
on their way back. What do you think?
Not for me. However, if someone wants a custom… hap-
py to make one!
What about you—how many piercings do you have?
I have 5 piercings, which is considered light around the
office.
1-800-658-7192
What is your favorite stone to work with?
My all time favorite gem is Malachite/Chrysocolla. The
mixture of the two colors uniting is just so beautiful. I can
get lost in the colors and textures when they come to me
in raw form.
