Hello All!
Last Sunday I was invited to the release of a new sneaker released by the Burn Rubber Boutique and New Balance. It was a nice atmosphere and the owners Rick and Roland where sweethearts! The shoe is awesome and it is great for people in the workforce! If you like to kick off the heels and go for a walk around the building or just to be comfortable, this is the perfect shoe for you! The Burn Rubber Boutique is located at 202 W 4th St. in Royal Oak Michigan. The shoe is now available for purchase HERE
The Sneaker!

The party was put together by Teiara Harris of Love Publicity! Teiara did such a great job! Check out her website HERE
I had a problem a while back. My little niece came into my room and poured out my eye make up remover! I did not know what to do because I do wear waterproof mascara (which is hard to get off!), eyeshadow and eyeliner. I called my friend in a rampage because water and soup just was not getting in off. He recommended Extra Virgin Olive Oil!
Before I started my nightly face regimen I took a small amount of EVOO, and saturated a cotton ball with it. I proceeded to wipe my eyes of the makeup that had been on my eyes for hours! And guess what????? It came off! Yay!!!!!! This method of make up eye removing worked for me. It was effortless and aided in nice and clean eyes for bed.
HELLO!
FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS I HAVE HAD SEW IN EXTENSIONS TO PROTECT MY NATURAL HAIR DURING THE WINTER MONTHS! THIS IS MY FIRST FULL SEW IT, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK??
I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A VERY WONDERFUL DAY, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I AM! I WAS SPEAKING WITH A FRIEND NOT TOO LONG AGO AND WE SPOKE ABOUT SELF ESTEEM AND SELF LOVE. SO MANY PEOPLE HATE THEMSELVES AND IT IS SO SAD BECAUSE GOD CREATED US FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY! IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND YOU NEED A FEW TIPS ON HOW TO BOOST YOUR SELF ESTEEM, HERE THEY ARE!
1) KEEP A JOURNAL OF YOUR PERSONAL GOALS FOR YOUR SELF ESTEEM. WRITE WHAT YOU WOULD WANT TO IMPROVE ABOUT YOURSELF.
2) REALIZE THAT NO ONE IS PERFECT!
3) NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN IMPROVEMENT AND A CHANGE! EVERYONE HAS TO IMPROVE THEMSELVES EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE.
4)DEVELOP A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. THINK ABOUT HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES FOR SNACKS THAT ARE JUST AS DELICIOUS AS THE CALORIE PACKED SNACKS.
5) TREAT YOURSELF EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE( GO TO THE SALON, GET A MANICURE, ETC.)
I AM REALLY MAKING IT MY DUTY THAT THIS YEAR MORE AND MORE YOUNG LADIES WILL BEGIN TO LOVE THEMSELVES MORE THAN THEY EVER DID. I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL! HOW TO U LOVE YOURSELVES?
Hello All!
I was watching RHOA (Real Housewives of Atlanta) the other day and the new cast member Marlow always talks about her designer clothes. My question is would you prefer style? Or would you prefer to be fashionable. I want to hear from you because I know that I do not always have $300.00 to dish out on a tracey reese dress or thousands of dollars to spend on Christian Louboutins. However, I can honestly say that I do have a personal style. Fashion sense isn't something you can describe, you just know that you like certain designers. I know that I have a very modest, sometimes glam, sometime prep style. Its me! I can go to the thrift store an buy $50.00 worth of clothes which compliment my style. What do you prefer? Style or Fashion?
HELLO!
I REALLY MISSED YOU ALL! I AM FINALLY BACK! WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS IN LIFE IT HAPPENS WITHOUT EVEN LETTING YOU KNOW FIRST! DOESN'T THAT SUCK! HAHA. I WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH EVERYONE VIA EMIAL THAT HAS CONTACTED ME. I AM GOING TO GET RIGHT ON IT THIS WEEKEND! I AM REALLY HAPPY THAT YOU ALL LIKED MY LAST POST ABOUT PROTECTIVE HAIR STYLING FOR THE WINTER. I ACTUALLY HAVE A PROTECTIVE STYLE IN MY HAIR NOW, WHCIH ARE EXTENSIONS. MY COWORKER CALLED MY "JENNIFER HUDSON" HAIR..HAHA.

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!
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!

The snow has fallen, and the leaves are gone. NOW I am aware that is it Christmas time! I love the Christmas season! Decorations adorn the houses and the streets with its beauty! Scrouges are smiling, and families join together to create their annual bond. What else do I love about Christmas??? The gifts! That is what I love about Christmas! I am not the type of person that likes to always receive gifts, however, I am the one who always likes to give the gifts! I have given gifts when I didn't have the most money and when I had a lot. Therefore, I decided to develop a gift guide for my readers, that I know you all would enjoy!
2) Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Berry Tweezers $13.00
I have the precision tweezers! And they get all of the unwanted hairs from my brows! The best Tweezers ever!
HELLO ALL! I HAVE CAREFULLY READ ALL OF THE ENTRANCE POSTS FOR MY FIRST GIVE AWAY! I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE GIVE AWAY! I THINK ALL OF YOUR PERCEPTIONS OF INNER BEAUTY ARE SO TOUCHING! I WISH I COULD GIVE EVERYONE A WIN, HOWEVER, I CAN NOT! (UNLESS I SPLIT THE AWARD UP THREE WAYS..LOL) I AM JUST KIDDING, HOWEVER, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE WINNER, AND THE WINNER THAT WON MY FIRST GIVE AWAY IS............
"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!"
