Fall Fashion Show

Spice Boutique hosted a Fall Fashion Show this past Saturday November 10th at The Stuart McClean Art Gallery in Atlanta.

The atmosphere of the gallery was fresh, creative and inspiring! As expected from Spice Boutique, the fashion was trend setting and models fierce.

Art showcased in the gallery was inspirational and music was upbeat, keeping a great vibe going between everyone that attended the event.

Celebrity Fashion Designer, Rafael Cox and Dwight Eubanks, Atlanta's Top Mogul stopped by to enjoy the show!

There was an open wine bar to enjoy. Mister and Miss Einstein Ice Cream and Coffee provided yummy finger sandwiches and coffee. Guests got the opportunity to mingle and view a great display of one of a kind jewelry hand picked and selected by creative minds of Powerful Womenz Potential and TriBeCa Fashion.

Porcsha and Runway Ink did an awesome job hosting the show!

I rocked my curls undefined and fluffed to achieve big hair! My grey strapped thigh high boots complimented my bold and colorful printed top. I played my outfit up a little with a few accessories but not too much for a busy look.

New Featured Natural Hair Journey

New: Updated on Healthy Hair Journey


Daniqua Owes
Bronx, NY

Daniqua has been transitioning from relaxed to natural since December of 2010. The beginning of her hair journey consisted with a lot of protective sew in styles.

Daniqua's main reason for going natural was the overall health of her hair. She notices her hair is thicker and sheds less since she stopped relaxing.

Now that her hair has grown out to a more comfortable length she is experimenting with natural styles and giving her signature sew in styles a break.

Natural Hair Protective Styling

It's been a while Powerful Women that I have mentioned anything related to my hair.

With the seasons changing my hair is dry and was long over due for a trim.

Honestly, it's been a while since I have done anything to my hair...lol. Last week Saturday I tried a new pre poo mixture of Ultra Sheen Duo Tex Protein Conditioner and Infusium 23 Leave In. I followed up with a co wash and chunky two strand twist for my layered trim.

Yesterday unplanned I used 2 packs of Marley Braid 350 hair to two strand twist, leaving my hair out on top to blend two strand twists.

My scalp being exposed will allow me to mix up some oils and massage while giving hair a rest.

What has the seasons changing motivated you to do to your hair?

Breast Self Awareness

Know Your Risk

Get Screened

Know What Is Normal For You

Make Healthy Lifestyle Choices

Breast Cancer Awareness

October is the annual campaign to increase awareness of the Breast Cancer disease.

The last 14 days of the month I will be joining the awareness movement by researching Susan G Komen's Breast
Cancer 101.

There is no known cause of the disease just known risk factors that combined and left alone can increase chances of the cancer.

Statistics show Caucasian women are most likely to get breast cancer although African American women are most likely to die from it.

It is important to visit and talk with your doctor about any concerns.

I hope over the next 2 weeks I am able to provide some helpful information about the disease and raise awareness.

The Dove Movement For Self Esteem

This past weekend at the 2012 Dove Self Esteem Weekend March in NYC, KeKe Palmer helped raise awareness about the issues facing young girls today.

Self esteem toolkit and resources have both 1 on 1 and group activities that encourage exploring options in order for young ladies to reach their full potential.

The Dove Movement encourages all women and girls to develop a positive relationship with beauty.

"If you are interested in race, popular culture, and intellectual discourse, and you like it delivered to you with plenty of humor by highly talented performers, then By The Way, Meet Vera Stark is the play for you."

Society View of Women

Is it important how society views women? If you ask me, yes it is! If society holds women in high regard then the same high standard of respect and care should be assumed.

The everyday woman impacts this perception in her relationship with her mate, her professionalism with her boss and colleagues, and loyalty with family and friends. Although the everyday woman impacts, women in the spotlight almost always define this same perception.

The Women in Entertainment Empowerment Network (WEEN) hosted PROJECT REALism over Labor Day weekend in NYC. The standing-room only event featured reality tv starts discussing the impact of reality TV on young women.

Join weenonline.org, to sign-up to mentor at least one young lady, and to commit to joining WEEN’s future PROJECT REALism programs to empower young girls.

Now not only are runway models, actresses and singers impacting young women but reality stars turn celebrity seem to create a bigger impression.

The big picture is teaching, living and reinforcing admirable behavior and characteristics for women so the negative can be spread few and far in between.

Democratic Convention

Our first lady, Michelle Obama gave an inspiring speech last night in Charlotte, NC at the Democratic party's national convention.

She exceeded expectation of being effective messenger of the Obama-Biden campaigns main argument that the President understands and sympathizes with the problem of the everyday American more suitable than opposing candidate.

The two parties convention party speeches had different strategies based on their deliveries and feedback received by the public.
