From beauty to style, stirring up everything that chic brown girls love!
This February, Tyler Perry will attempt to woo moviegoers with his newest film, Good Deeds, starring the filmmaker, Gabrielle Union, and Thandie Newton.
The film will follow the journey of Wesley Deeds, a successful and wealthy businessman, who takes a look into his “perfect” life and discovers that he needs to take action to lead the life that he’s always dreamed.
Check out the trailer:
Will you be heading to your local theater to see this movie? Are you a fan of Tyler Perry films?
Trends come and go, that’s why I try stick to classic pieces that will endure season after season. No one wants to look back at photos and immediately identify the year it was taken based on what you’re wearing.
However, after a recent chit-chat with a couple of friends, I’m starting to question whether one of my most beloved “quintessential” accessories is as “timeless” as I thought.
As I reached to adorn my ears with a pair of thin, 14K gold medium-size hoops, a couple of my fashionista friends quickly quipped, “Please tell me you’re not wearing those ‘J. Lo’ earrings circa 2001.”
Never one to take people’s fashion opinions too seriously, I defended my accessorizing decision and went on my way. While I’m a fan of studs too, I will never give up the occasional hoop.
Check out a few BGs who apparently like jumping through hoops too:
What do you guys think? Are hoops timeless or have their run their course? Do you opt for more subdued styles such as studs? What are some of your favorite classic pieces?

Brandy fans will be happy to hear that the R&B superstar is making a comeback to scripted television. The former Moesha star is set to join the cast of The Game as Jason’s (Coby Bell) sassy, bar-tending love interest, Chardonnay, when the new season premieres in January.
Looks like there’s even more reason to watch the top-rated series!
Will you be tuning into The Game when it returns to BET next month?
Did you catch our favorite BG mom-to-be, Beyoncé, on Friday’s episode of 20/20? If not, you missed her dishing about how she’s curbing her pregnancy cravings and why she’s keeping her due date secret. While her growing bump was the focus of the interview, the singer’s glowing skin stole the show.
Famed makeup artist, Mally Roncal “beat” Beyoncé’s face into perfection with the beauty essentials found in her “My Favorite Things Collection,” ($59.50) which will be available December 9th on QVC.
Since Mally is busy building her makeup empire and beautifying R&B beauties like Beyoncé’, she can’t personally give us that flawless, camera-ready look, but she can share her tips (see below). Plus, all of the products she used are complementary to all skin tones so you can recreate the makeup magic in the comfort of your home.
Check out Mally’s simple steps:
− Start by using my concealer to brighten under the eyes or any other place that needs help.
− Next, use my subtle highlighter and contour powder to really bring out your inner beauty! The highlighter lifts the face and even illuminates the eye area. The contour powder instantly makes you look like you lost five pounds.
− For eyes, I opted for my creamy, shimmery eye shadow, bulletproof Eyeliner and my secret: Volumizing Mascara.
− To create glossy, Beyoncé worthy lips, I used my High Shine Liquid Lipstick.
ONE LUCKY READER will win the kit ($59.50 value) before its debut. Simply leave a comment telling me if you’re going to incorporate shimmer into your holiday looks this season and a winner will be randomly selected and announced on Thursday.
