I am usually very loyal when it comes to exfoliators.

When I was a teenager, I was an avid user of St. Ives Apricot Scrub. I was in my price point (e.g. CHEAP) but very rough and harsh on my skin. . .

CURLS is officially a decade old.

Yep, we can’t believe it either.

Chances are if you have any hint of curl in your hair, you’ve seen these products around town or online.

We happen to be obsessed with Coconut Sublime Moisturizing Conditioner ($16). It works wonders for co-washing and smells like heaven, coconuts, and lime!

But, we digress. . .

Hi Beauty Pies!

There’s a new curly girl salon coming to NYC on March 12th (Monday).

As you already know, we heart Burt’s Bees.

So, we were very excited to learn about the newest addition to The Hive, a new line of natural beauty goodies called güd By Burt’s Bees. . .

Guess who’s due to be featured in March 2012′s Harper’s Bazaar. . .

Yellow diamonds seem to be all the rage this season with Rihanna singing about yellow diamonds in the sky (I wouldn’t mind having a yellow diamond on my finger!!!) and more importantly the Versace launch of their new fragrance, Yellow Diamond.

Not long ago, Versace invited us to the launch of their new fragrance Yellow Diamond at the Versace Boutique on 5th Ave. I was more than excited to be present in an exclusive area that Victoria Beckham and Donatella Versace herself frequent. How cool is that?!

Burt’s Bees invited Ugochi, Stephanee, and me to a holiday party earlier this month. It was truly a lovely experience. We were able to see the myriad of Burt’s Bees products in various rooms throughout a beautiful New York City loft.

Burt’s Bees has some exciting gift sets for the Holiday Season. They have combined some of their most popular products in adorable containers and bags…

Howdy dolls,

I don’t know about you, but the last time I heard the name “Amway” it was in the late 80′s and one of our more eccentric neighbors would try to convince us to buy random household products bearing the Amway name.

Well, well, well…Amway’s beauty brand, Artistry, is not only one of the top 5 largest  selling beauty brands worldwide but a pretty extensive and high quality line.

If you keep an eye on my tweets, you’ll know that Artistry hosted a FAB blogger event for NY Fashion week.

Stephanee and I popped by in between shows and had a blast! Check out the pics below…
