I was excited to receive my COCOTIQUE box and pleasantly surprised at the beautiful packaging. I can’t wait to fully indulge in every product but the one item I can’t live without is the Honey & Black Seed Hand Cream.
I’m in between manicures and seeking to restore moisture back into my hands and cuticles. This luxurious moisturizing treatment instantly restored my hands with a nice cooling effect. The hand cream’s also formulated with Black Seed Oil, Honey, and Apricot Oil. It’s the perfect size to carry in my handbag (and use) while wearing a pair of gloves.
I love beauty products that work and COCOTIQUE offers product samples that are infused with natural ingredients and gentle cleansers. To learn more about COCOTIQUE and become a subscriber click here.

I was invited to host a lifestyle segment on Fox 45 Baltimore WBFF sharing the benefits of drinking tea in the winter months. Brewing a cup of tea can serve as an aid with weight loss, stress relief, and help give a boost of energy. Also, black tea is the equivalent of drinking coffee due to a stimulating substance call theophyllin.
Although there’s a social aspect to drinking tea, we have to remember the original health benefits. Personally, I like to drink tea as a preventative measure against colds and to boost my immune system.If I’m not feeling well or have an upset stomach, I brew a cup of tea and drink it in the afternoon (or before bedtime) to flush away the toxins. Below are additional health benefits:

Since its launch in 2003, Teen Vogue has provided teens with the very best coverage of fashion, celebrities, entertainment, and features. THE TEEN VOGUE HANDBOOK offers interviews, profiles, and advice about how to break into this constantly evolving industry. This essential guide for anyone interested in fashion is now better than ever. The expanded edition is chock-full of brand-new photos, profiles of newcomers, descriptions of digital jobs, and up-to-the-minute career advice. It’s the ultimate behind-the scenes look at the designers, stylists, photographers, models, makeup artists, writers, and bloggers who run the industry.
THE TEEN VOGUE HANDBOOK features profiles of Jenna Lyons; Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen; Pamela Love; Warby Parker; Michelle Phan; Sophia Amoruso; Robin Givhan; Chanel Iman, and many more stylists, photographers, and major players. The all-new section on digital careers includes advice straight from editor-in-chief Amy Astley and the staff of Teen Vogue on how to grown an online brand and make a fashion statement! This edition covers changes in the fashion landscape that include bloggers and street style, and also includes a free one-year subscription to Teen Vogue.
My Review:
I have been a fan of Teen Vogue for several years. The magazine provides the latest in fashion, celebrity style, and entertainment. The Teen Vogue Handbook is the perfect extension of the brand because it gives an insiders guide to careers in fashion. I suggest this book for up and coming fashion professionals as well as those working in the industry.
The handbook is divided into content chapters according to careers such as Designers, Editors, Digital, Stylist, Models, Beauty, and Photographers. Of course I turned to the Digital chapter first, which features media moguls such as Leandra Medine, Natalie Massenet, Michelle Phan, Sophia Amoruso, and Robin Givhan to name a few.
In addition, The Teen Vogue Handbook shares how to start a career in fashion and the daily responsiblities associated with each job. For example, designer Jenna Lyons shares “one day is never the same as the next; there are so many pieces and parts. Most of the time, I go from one meeting to the next and don’t really get a break in between ” (Astley, 41.)
The Teen Vogue Handbook
The handbook ends with the Career chapter giving tips on how to apply for internships, create a resume, social networking, and dressing to impress. The Teen Vogue Handbook is a must read for the fashion intern or brand account manager. Fashion is constantly changing and one must stay abreast of the latest trends (beyond accessories and style.) Anna Wintour stated, “people have to go to school, learn their craft, and build a brand – that’s the right, healthy way to do things. If you’re an overnight sensation, you can be yesterday’s news in no time, whereas building something slowly and carefully that has value and quality, that’s what’s going to have legs” (Astley, 114.)

I am super excited to share this photo from my natural hair journey. Last Spring, Motions Hair Care Productsshipped a variety of products to my doorstep for a blogger promotion. During that time, I was suffering from hair breakage and wore several protective styles. In between wearing protective styles, I maintained my tresses with conditioners, trims, and hot steaming.
Anyone who’s a naturalista will confess that you anticipate your hair growing after the big chop. To others, the big chop can be dramatic but I wanted to start with a fresh mane of hair.
In this photo, I am wearing one of my favorite hairstyles (the twist out) which is a simple style that locks in moisture. I also like to wear a variety of hair accessories and deep conditioning treatments in the winter months.
I’ve always been a fan of natural hair and looking forward to continuing this journey. Ladies, share with me a few of your tips and favorite products? Email me at kim@stylelifefashion.com or post below.
