JOIN IN PROTECTIVE STYLING FOR THE WINTER!

HELLO!
   WINTER IS HERE! NOT THAT I AM THAT EXCITED HOWEVER, THIS TIME OF YEAR IS AWESOME! CHRISTMAS, MY BIRTHDAY, SO MANY LOVED ONES BIRTHDAYS AND PROTECTIVE STYLING! I MUST ADMIT, I LOVE FIGURING OUT HOW I AM GOING TO WEAR MY HAIR IN THE WINTER MONTHS BECAUSE IT ALLOWS ME TO BE CREATIVE! AND WE ALL KNOW THAT IN THE WINTER MONTHS WE  ALL HAVE TO GIVE OUR HAIR A LITTLE TLC! I WANTED TO EXTEND THE INVITE TO ALL OF MY READERS AND GIVE YOU ALL SOME GREAT IDEAS!
1) BUNS!
 I LOVE BUNNING MY HAIR! PUTTING YOUR HAIR IN A BUN ALLOWS YOUR ENDS TO BE PROTECTED FROM THE HARSH WINDS OF THE WINTER MONTHS. THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO BUN YOUR HAIR!

LATELY I HAVE BEEN WEARING THE MESSY BUN AND A NEW BUN TECHNIQUE THAT I LOVE WHICH IS THE PIN CURL BUN. I GOT THE IDEA FROM YOUTUBER MY PURE BEAUTY! 

2) BRAIDS OR TWIST
ALLOWING YOUR HAIR TO STAND IN BRAIDS OR TWIST ALLOWS YOUR HAIR TO REST FOR A WHILE. BECAUSE WINTER IS SO COLD, IT DRIES OUT ANYONE'S HAIR REALLY FAST. THIS STYLE WILL LOWER THE MANIPULATION OF THE HAIR BECAUSE IT IS SET! YOU CAN APPLY MINI BRAIDS OR TWIST, FRENCH BRAIDS, CORN ROWS, WHATEVER YOU DESIRE!

3)WIGS, EXTENSIONS, AND SATIN LINING! 
  I MYSELF AM NOT A VERY BIG WIG WEARER, HOWEVER, I HAVE STARTED WEARING EXTENSIONS THIS YEAR, AND I MUST SAY, IT HAS HELPED MY HAIR OUT A LOT! THIS ALLOWED MY HAIR TO REST AND RETAIN LENGTH AT THE SAME TIME! BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT APPLYING CHEMICALS TO YOUR HAIR, HEAT, OR MANIPULATING. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE!

DURING THE WINTER MONTHS MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL DEEP CONDITION ON A REGULAR BASIS, AND USE SATIN OR SILK WHILE YOU SLEEP AND INSIDE OF YOUR HATS AND HOODS!

I REALLY HOPE YOU ALL LEARNED SOME NEW THINGS! HAVE FUN PROTECTING YOUR HAIR!

CGC at Strike A Pose Fashion Show For Beaute Marc Clothing!

Hello All!

 Last night I had the pleasure of covering my first Fashion Show ever here on Church Girl Chic! I had an awesome time sitting front row of the fashion show of a very driven designer! BreAna Allen the young designer who I featured in a post  HERE in October featured her first collection. The Show consisted of two scenes, Glitz & Glamour which showcased designs with a lot of sequin, studs, and details! My favorite of the entire collection was her leggings that she designed herself! The next scene Classy & Fabulous consisted of  lots of Jeggins, dresses, ruching, and color blocking. I got a a urban feel from here designs with a twist of glam! I loved her line, and I know that you all will as well! DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THE BEST THING ABOUT IT?? SHE DESIGNED IT ALL HERSELF! GREAT JOB BREANA!

THIS WAS HER COMMENT ABOUT INNER BEAUTY!

"My definition of Inner beauty is being able to LOVE yourself enough to look past all your mistakes and embracing your flaws because you were crafted and made from his (GOD) image & no one can duplicate the original U! Knowing & Trusting that GOD lives within you and that you are a daughter or (son) of the The MOST High God and there's NOTHING or no one that can stop you from loving you! When you have inner beauty it will show on the outside no matter what you are wearing... Kingdom Kids shines for the KING & it comes from the inside out! NO MAKE-UP required!"

KEEP CHECKING OUT CHURCH GIRL CHIC FOR MORE IN FASHION, BEAUTY, AND CHRISTIANITY!

THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE!

Happy Birthday To My Bestie! And a new necklace!

Hello All!

  First and foremost I would like to say thanks again to all of my followers! Hope everyone is trying to get into this new giveway! Yah!
  Anyway! One of my best friends, Nashondra had a birthday dinner for her 23rd B-day. We had so much fun at Fridays! I had to show you all a new necklace I just purchased for 3 bucks at Dots! I would have done a OOTN, however, my photographer was too cold and took bad pictures (its Michigan you'll). So I just decided to broadcast my necklace in stead!

Much Love and God Bless!

Revlon Photo Ready Foundation Review!

Hello All!
 For the past couple of weeks I have been trying out the Revlon Photo Ready Foundation, and I must say, it works like a dream! I bought it for $13.99 at my local Pharmacy and ever since my skin has been looking flawless! I really do not have what you would call "bad skin," however, this makeup allows my skin to pop, especially in photos. People have to ask if I have on makeup because it looks so natural. Almost as if it is airbrushed!  It lasts me about 10- 12 hours. I guess you can say that I am satisfied! Would recommend this to anyone!

Much Love and God Bless!
