Solange Knowles and Alan Ferguson Wedding Photos

There’s something to be said when you dare to be different. Today, Solange Knowles married her long time sweetheart Alan Ferguson. Based upon the photos below, she chose a modern, minimalistic style which has inspired “creative spirits” everywhere.

 

The most unique element about the wedding was the entire wedding party wearing all white. Solange has always been known for her artistic style with beautiful natural hair and her fashionable photos.  And we can’t get enough of her white pantsuit.

What an inspirational non-traditional way to say your vows. And that my dears is how you “break the internet!”

Beauty Routine with Reach Complete {Oral} Care

One of the most important beauty routines that any girl can have is a good oral routine. Having a beautiful smile can make all the difference that a new lipstick or dress can bring. And it’s a simple process that starts with purchasing a toothbrush that removes plaque, polish the teeth, and adds freshness to the gums.


 
Reach Complete Care has a new line of tooth brushes that are affordable and provide the ultimate oral care. The brand features an industry first: patent pending triple angle technology, providing three different angles of bristle cleaning – left, straight and right. The technology maximizes vertical surface contact for superior plaque removal and an unprecedented total mouth cleaning worthy of the name “complete.”
The new brushes have the following qualities:

 

  • 13° triple angled neck
  • Triple angled bristles maximize contact with each tooth
  • Bi-level bristle design with extra prominent REACH Tip™ containing whitening bristles
  • Soft thumb rest for comfort and performance
  • Tongue Cleaner
  • Ergonomic lightweight handle
  • Available in SOFT, MEDIUM, and FIRM bristles

I had the chance to sample their toothbrushes and received amazing results. Personally, I like the grip style and angled bristles because you want to adequately hold the brush for positive results. The new colors were also a nice plus, especially in my home because you want to make a clear distinction between the toothbrushes.

To purchase a Reach toothbrush visit your local drugstore or grocery store and enjoy the results!

Beyonce: The Fashion Chameleon – Achieve The Look

It’s no secret that Beyonce is a fashion chameleon. This woman can look glamorous wearing a sequin bodysuit (for shows) to dressing in street style with a hipster hat on Instagram.

 

To pull off a combination like the one below, the secret is to find a dominate color and select additional pieces within the same color family. Personally, I like eclectic design of the first look, mixing textures and prints. Bey also made this style sexy by cinching the waist with a belt.

 

The second and third photo gives us a lot of style and personality with garments in the same print (top and shorts) while adding a hat for quick style.  With simple accessories in our wardrobe such as hats, belts, and funky nail designs anyone can achieve this look – fashion is fun!
