The Real Talk Showhas become one of my favorite guilty pleasures. All of the cast members have wonderful personalities, topics are on target with today’s new woman, and they “keep it real!” Each day there’s a different surprise and we can’t forget about the fashion and beauty tips.
Most importantly, there’s always an opportunity to laugh and maybe even shed a tear with each episode. Today, the ladies looked “pretty in pink” as they celebrated Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Also, catch the clip below:

There’s nothing better than wearing a fashionable accessory that’s also functional. With the cold weather approaching, we are taking our scarves out of storage and wearing them (in the mornings) to keep us warm.
And let’s not forget that it’s football season and female football fans are coming up shorthanded on ways to carry their essentials on game day. Your choices are limited to a clear plastic sack (ew) or try to shove everything you need into your pockets.
With the SHOLDIT Clutch Wrap purse, you can go hands-free all game and still have all of your essentials close at hand. SHOLDIT is a traditional infinity scarf with a big secret: it contains a hidden zipper pocket perfectly sized to carry all of your game-day essentials on the sly.

A Vikings fan…
Or a Broncos fan…

Last week I hosted a lifestyle segment on Let’s Talk Live DC, sharing tips on eco – friendly home essentials. The products discussed where Zabada Cleaning Products, Coyuchi Bedding and Linens, Soni Clean VT Vacuum, Rowenta Iron, and TFal Cooking Pan.
Visiting Let’s Talk Live
Having an eco – friendly home is very important because it helps to eliminate harmful chemicals in the air and the use of excess energy. How many times have we started cleaning our homes (with bleach) and began to feel queasy? That’s because this is actually a chemical that we’re inhaling and also putting in the environment.
Additional Cleaning Tips: we also use simple products purchased at the grocery store –
Baking Soda – Cleans, Deodorizes, and Softens Water
Lemons – Helps with Household Bacteria
White Vinegar – Cuts Grease, Removes Mildew, and Stains
Cornstarch – Cleans Windows, Polish Furniture, Shampoo Carpets and Rugs
Having the right accessories can do wonders for any fashion girl’s wardrobe. And although I’m a huge fan of precious stones and sterling silver jewelry, there’s nothing wrong with owning a well made CZ ring. The “secret” to wearing such a piece is to select an item that will accent your hands or manicure.
Anjolee.com is a fine jewelry manufacture where customers can purchase diamond/gemstone earrings, necklaces, pendants, and wedding sets. The company has free shipping in the U.S. and a 30 Day Return Policy. I was excited to review the beautiful Diamond Eternity Ring and add this piece to my jewelry collection.
The ring arrived in a gorgeous wooden box which is perfect for storing the diamond piece. This anniversary ring can also be stacked with other rings and comes in gold, platinum, and in five different sizes.
The Diamond Eternity Ring ring is truly a flawless piece of jewelry and completes your everday look with classic elegance. To view more of their products and purchase your very own Diamond Eternity Ring visit their site: Anjolee.com

Fall has finally arrived which means that it’s time to put out our new decor. And this is actually my favorite time of the year, with warm memories of drinking pumpkin spice coffee, picking out Halloween costumes, visiting the local pumpkin patch, and enjoying my mother’s delicious Thanksgiving feast.
When deciding to decorate, a few quick tips can get our creative juices flowing and bring joy to our homes. For starters, one must decide on the look they’re trying to achieve and the area in their home they would like to showcase. Personally, I always like to accent my front door, dining table, and entertainment unit.
Beautiful Fall Decor
Beautiful Fall Decor
Below are Quick Tips for decorating your home with Fall decor in just 30 minutes or less:
1. Visit your local craft store, discount store or dollar store for items. Normally around this time of the year companies will share coupons or run sales on Fall products.
2. Decide on the theme for your home – whether you love pumpkins or leaves, using a theme can serve as a great guide.
3. Always start with a budget! And this can vary depending on your lifestyle but operating without a budget can yield poor results and over spending.
4. Use unconventional ideas to gather supplies. Items can be found in your backyard such as leaves, acorns, sticks, wood chips, and tree bark.
5. Spruce up an old wreath with a simple bow or (again) leaves from the landscaping. Don’t forget to use garland on the fireplace mantal. You can create look this with leaves or purchase from a craft store.
6. Additional Fall decorating tips are: purchase a new place setting and add to the look with a table runner and candles; find creative ways to decorate a pumpkin with sharpie pens or decoupage.
And if all else fails, look at the nature around you for inspiration…it’s our best teacher!

About the Etnia Barcelona Wild Love in Africa Limited Edition Collection
Collaborating with famous photographer Steve McCurry (known for the infamous ‘Afghan Girl’ image which graced the cover of National Geographic in 1985) The Wild Love in Africa collection is inspired by the African Savanna and its textures, reproducing the color of wood, zebra hair, giraffe skin and horns.
The collection is made from the best materials available. The acetate is designed by Etnia Barcelona and manufactured by Mazzucchelli (Milan); the largest acetate production plant in Europe. This is a 100% eco-friendly acetate, made using natural organic compounds (cotton and cellulose paste) that are 100% recyclable and biodegradable. The styles also feature mineral lenses by the Italian manufacturer Barberini.
PLUS there is a CHARITY COMPONENT with Etnia Barcelona’s Wild Love in Africa collection collaborates with the NGO Africa Rising Foundation donating 2% of global sales, contributing thus to the important work of this organization. Africa Rising is a non-profit organisation founded by Ndaba and Kweku Mandela at the end of 2009 in order to contribute to the development of the African continent.
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, the fashion jewelry site SterlingForever.com is donating 25% of proceeds on the following pink jewelry (accessories) to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
Pevonia is a skincare line created with natural ingredients that can be found at your local spa. I’m a skincare fanatic and had the opportunity to review Pevonia Stem Cells Phyto – Elite Foaming Cleanser, Intensive Serum, and Intensive Cream.
To start, the actual product container arrived in a beautiful gold/black bottle which looks very pretty and gives the appearance of luxury. When using this product line, the company suggests starting with:
3. Intensive Cream: smoothes lines and wrinkles; hydrates the skin
This skincare collection left my face feeling hydrated with a radiate glow. I also loved the smell of the foaming cleanser (during application) and made me eager to see my skin for results. To be honest, the intensive cream is one the best face creams that I’ve ever used with my daily routine.
I suggest when having skincare problems to start a new regimen but most importantly use quality products that will meet your individual needs. Pevonia is the perfect product line because the company allows you to address your skincare concerns and customers can make their selections according to the product type, product list, and starter kits. Visit their website or local day spa for Pevonia products.
