Cruel Intentions...

!!POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW!!

CW and Archie Comics Riverdale, has been spicing up lately. Ever since we found out South Side High is going to become a prison, shit has hit the fan. 

As The Seasons Change, So Do I. 

Guys, I was starting to get so bored with the color of my hair. I let Wella come to the rescue this week and I'll tell you how. I have always had what I call "Hair Bipolar Disorder". I went through a million shades of blonde and all the colors of the rainbow. It's almost like my hair was searching for something that didn't exist. Needless to say, my hair was dry, damaged, and has lost a lot of its shine. 

Hey Nubians, 




LOVE IS SCARY. 

Do you date or are you married to a Sci-Fi / Horror Freak & Geek? I love a good or classic horror movie. I say "or classic" because let's face it, some of them suck but we love them anyway. I believe horror memorabilia make great Valentine's Day gifts! Why you ask? Because horror, just like love, allows us to release some of our most intimate, vulnerable feelings. In addition, you always want to kill people you love one way or another... get real. Enjoy this horror gift guide and get freaky this Valentine's Day. 

I love sharing editorials from Vogue Japan. They're always so colorful, bold and animated. Fashion Editor and Stylist Anna Dello Russo has been killing it! Also, one of my favorite models as of late to follow is Stella Maxwell. This lady just can't take a bad photo and has so much natural flair and grace. She looks gorgeous in everything. Remember the homage she did for Edie Sedgwick for Vogue Brazil in May? Swoooon! A model has to change the way she looks, acts, and poses for almost every editorial for reasons such as the personality of the brand/clothing or the change of scenery. In this sense, it's almost like the beginning stages of being an actress I'd suppose. That's how I look at it at least and Stella does it magnificently.  

This editorial was shot by talented photographer Giampaolo Sgura, styled by Anna Dello Russo, hair by Andrew Guida & makeup by Andrew Guida. 










Hope these super fun editorial inspired you to go out and buy something maybe you wouldn't sometime soon. 

Cheers!

Love Is In The Air ... 
Valentine's Day is among us and I am dateless! Where will my chocolates, flowers, and shiny gifts be? My boyfriend will be working all night and I will be working all day. Therefore I might have a little something at home waiting for me haha (I better).Spare me with all of the "I don't celebrate Valentine's Day" "We celebrate love everyday" blah blah blah crap. Though to be honest, I do agree love should be celebrated everyday and to be quite frank I never cared much for Valentine's Day gifts. A simple hand written card or something creative would do the job for me. HOWEVER, It's hard not to get a little bittersweet and feel down because brace yourself... you will be seeing tons of affection all around you everywhere! Online, on the streets, in your nightmares... EVERYWHERE. The hugs, holding hands, gazing into each others eyes, kissing, the list goes on. 

For the reasons above, I have decided to share some tips on how to spend an awesome Valentine's Day alone. 

Hello Nubians, 

Happy New Year! 

I hope you all had a beautiful New Years Eve with your family and loved ones. Welcoming 2017 is exciting! 2016 was very strange for almost everyone I know so it's nice to feel a sense of pressing the refresh button.

I find that everyone gets obsessed with making resolutions but many times they are unrealistic and you may end up disappointing yourself which isn't fair. This year I decided to make a doodle list of '2017 Intentions' because they are all things I'm aiming to do throughout the year. I aspire to find enough time and balance to do enough of each thing but one thing I'm certain of is I will get around to all of them. This little doodle brings me peace. 

Hello Nubians,

"So here I am. Back on Earth. Johnny Blaze rides again."


This year at New York Comic Con I brought back my Marvel Comics Ghost Rider Cosplay I debuted last year. It was a lot of fun and still one of my favorite cosplay looks till this day. It's a cool gender-bend and I love using the molded wig/hair as the visual for flames. My sister-in- law and cosplay partner in crime for the last 2 years Kaori molded the wig and applied my makeup while I hunted down all the pieces from the costume. I've been cosplaying for so many years now that I finally got around to making a cosplay box for all of my makeup, costumes, props, & more.

Hey Nubians,

Be True To You.


I've always had such love for fashion and individual style. Though I've always enjoyed wearing a nice pair of heels, I find myself being... well... more myself in casual attire which I find ways to dress up. I love a pair of dope sneakers too! 

Hey Nubians, 



Everyday should be a day that you're motivated, but there's something about the beginning of the week that makes you feel like being turbo charged right? It's important to constantly stay inspired and be happy so we can keep moving forward.

Life gets busy and crazy but we still must fight for what we want. 

Here's some motivation to start your week below. 



"Find a job you like and you will add five days to every week." - H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

"As long as you’ve got passion, faith and are willing to work hard, you can do anything and have anything you want in this world." - Unknown

"The more I want to get something done, the less I call it work." - Richard Bach

"This is the real secret of life - to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play." - Alan Wilson Watt

"You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you." - Maya Angelou

"If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to meet it!" - Jonathan Winters

Cheers!

Hi Nubians,


Everyone deserves a nice start to their week. We can live such stressful lives sometimes that it becomes easy to lose your priorities and forget what's important. Whether you're passionate about makeup, style, fashion, art, anything beautiful and creative, make sure you're making enough time for it in your life. Stay happy and positive my friends. 

Below I've gathered a few quotes to kickstart your week. I hope they help you get on track and bring a smile to your face. 

Best Friends Animal Society's No More Homeless Pets Network focuses on building relationships and working with rescue organizations and municipal shelters across the country to end the killing of dogs and cats in our nation’s shelters. I am so impressed and blown away at the fact Zappos are doing this. I wish I can adopt one right now but my apartment isn't big enough being that I already have 2 dogs. I do however highly encourage anyone reading this to really think about it. Dogs and cats can make great companions and amazing friends. They're great listeners too ;-) 



Below are the participating locations. In addition to the partner locations listed below, you can adopt for free at any Best Friends Animal Society location in Utah, Los Angeles, and New York City. Their Kanab, UT sanctuary will transport pets to all 50 United States, and Canada. Help give these beautiful cats and dogs a warm home if you can!
