Marsha Ambrosius, one-half of the well-known British duo Floetry, has spread her wings and taken on a solo career. This song, "Far Away" came on the radio last night and I knew that it would have a permanent spot on my playlist.
If you have turned on your TV at all today, chances are you have seen some of the media coverage on the highly anticipated royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine (Kate) Middleton. I won’t lie, I’m going to be among the millions who will wake up bright and early to watch the nuptials. However, despite all of the focus on the Princess-to-be, I could not help but become re-fascinated with the late Princess Diana and her effortless, classic style. Princess Di was a true style icon and True Beauty....
Israeli-born designer Yigal Azrouel has been showing his ultra-femme collections on the catwalks of New York Fashion Week since 2000, yet I feel he has not achieved the household-name-status that he deserves.

Believe it or not, skincare products can be some of the most expensive items in your house. You could easily drop $70 on one product in Sephora, so just imagine how much all of the products in your medicine cabinet add up to! Some products are worth the price, but a basic facial scrub does not have to kill your wallet. I discovered Queen Helene’s Oatmeal ‘n Honey Facial Scrub while I was at Whole Foods one day and decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed. The...
No matter what field you are in, having a business card is an essential part of building your personal brand. It should be a representation of who you want to be perceived as. Even though everyone says that you should have very professional, stuffed-shirt cards, I think it’s okay to show a little personality so you can set yourself apart from the pack.
