There is nothing in the world quite like a nice cold beer. Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, Peroni, there are so any good ones. I love beer when it's almost about to freeze but it's not quite there yet. You take a sip and it's the most refreshing thing in the universe. We had a talk with The Beer Bunny who's always hopping around looking for the best hoppy beers to share with you. Here are some of the Bunny's top be picks for this Summer. 

Hey Nubians, 

Take a look at this super fun fashion editorial of model Nadia Araujo photographed by Arved Colvin-Smith for Hunger Magazine. I like the vibe this editorial has going on: Bold, Vibrant, Beautiful, Fun. I wear bright colors year round, but I like that during Spring and Summer I see more of it in the streets. It literally light up the streets! I get very inspired by that. I believe every person has an inner fashionista waiting to break out. 

I like the mixed patterns and loose silhouettes theme in this editorial. The textures are off the wall! That's something I don't play around with so much and should, mixing textures. Nadia Araujo is also sporting the bold eyeliner beauty trend that has been floating around. It looks so pretty!

I enjoy seeing the movements Nadia Araujo is making while wearing the clothing, it's almost like she's the young, wild and free dancer. It also shows off the volume and details of the garments while they're flying in the air.











Cheers!

Hey Nubians, 

Have You Ever Tried A Chelada?

I've always heard of the Cheleda drink but I only took about 2 sips out of one before. I've drank Bloody Mary's which are a similar drink, but the Chelada uses beer instead of Vodka. I think some of you might really enjoy that! I personally enjoy a nice, cold beer a lot more than Vodka. Casa Modelo has released it's new drink the Modelo Cheleda Tamarindo Picante for Spring/Summer and it's pretty tasty. Modelo Chelada Tamarindo Picante celebrates traditional Mexican ingredients: Chipotle Peppers and Tamarind - to offer fans of Modelo a spicy yet sweet taste which is a combination everyone enjoys. It's definitely a distinct taste worth giving a shot. Also people swear by them to cure hangovers!

A Chelada is a Mexican alcohol cocktail made with beer, lime juice, and assorted sauces, spices, and peppers. It is served in a chilled glass with Tajin or Salt on the rimm of the glass. Those are the basic ingredients which some people customize. I love that the Modelo Chelada Tamarindo Picante saves me time by selling the drink in a ready to serve can. 





Modelo Chelada Tamarindo Picante is produced with an ABV of 3.3%, and is now available at convenience stores nationwide for a suggested price of $2.99 for a 24 oz. can.

Watch this video of George and I trying the Modelo Chelada Tamarindo Picante for the first time and see what we think. It was a lot of fun making this video together and we both enjoyed the drink. 
  

Here are 3 reasons to love the Modelo Cheleda Tamarindo Picante.

1) It's Ready To Serve. No hassling in the kitchen or making a mess. Just purchase a few cans and enjoy with your friends.
2) It helps cure hangovers! People swear by Chelada's as a hangover remedy which is why it's a popular drink to have during the day.
3) It's Sweet, Spicy and Refreshing! Perfect for Spring/Summer. 

If you want to try something new pick one up at a store near you. Remember to drink responsibly!

Nothing Like Some Good Music While You're Relaxing On A Summer Day...

Ladies, having manicured nails is so important! Sometimes I feel as if we can easily overlook something as small as our nails if we're not careful. If you really think about it however... everyone can see your hands at all times! So it's important to keep them pretty and make a good impression. Plus, you don't always have to do it for others, do it for yourself!

Here's another few photo I uploaded on my dripthat account. If you remember in my John Frieda and NYC New York Color Beauty Haul post I talked about how I've been enjoying using the new app and it's fun features. I wanted to share some of my favorite brands and colors of nail polishes I'll be rocking this summer. I often do my nails myself (DIY chick) to avoid going to salons every week.

Wet n Wild Wild Shine - Wet n Wild beauty is one of my favorite drugstore brands. I've become a fan of their Wild Shine nail polish line as of lately. So far my favorite colors are Putting on Airs (Blue), Tickled Pink (Baby Pink), Blazed (Orange)

Who doesn't love a good haul? 


Lately I've gotten my hands on a whole bunch of make-up and beauty products I'm super excited about. I wanted to share a few I plan to review this month with you from John Frieda and NYC New York Color.

Let's start with the hair products because lord knows I need all the help I can get with frizziness this summer being that my hair is so thick and it's going to be very hot.


1) John Frieda Frizz Ease KeraFlex - A keratin infused hair spray that provides shape + finish and claims to create frizz-free styles.

5) NYC New York Color City Proof 24HR Waterproof Eye Shadow- I'm hoping these black and white eye shadows live up to the 24HR promise they make.

Hey Nubians,

Now that summer weather is basically here give or take a few days I can't wait to start planning trips. Nothing like being on the road, feel the breeze through your hair, being with cool people, and most importantly having fun!

Also, you have to pack some nice road trip appropriate clothing at first. I love to take photos because I enjoy the fact of knowing I'll look back at them one day and smile. Fashion and style has always been a passion of mine and a creative outlet so I love to have great clothing and accessories with me at all time.

I saw this editorial of Marloes Horst for Harpers Bazaar China May 2015 photographed by Riccardo Vimercati and felt immediately inspired. The shoot was styled by Sara Francia. Hair by Nicolas Eldin. Make-up by Munemi Imai.

Hello My Beautiful Nubian Queens and Kings!

Hairstyle can very much make or break an outfit sometimes... seriously, have you ever noticed that? If you have an a gorgeous outfit but your hair looks BLAH, none of your photos will come out looking good I guarantee it! Nice cool hair is absolutely something you should always keep up with.

During Spring/Summer braids seem to be quite the lifestyle. For the most part braiding is easy and if you don't know have to make a specific braid, you can view one of the thousand tutorials up on YouTube (sheesh even I have some HERE). Also, a lot of braids can add cool texture to your hair and quite frankly they're just very fun!

Below see some photos for your viewing pleasure and inspiration of some of my favorite braids for this season.

Hello Nubians,

I wanted to quickly share my simple math equation for my main makeup look I will be using all Spring/Summer 2015.

Quería compartir mi ecuación matemática simple para mi look de maquillaje principal que voy a utilizar en primavera/verano de 2015.

Bold Brows + Bold Lips + A Little Eye Liner + A Little Bronzer = My Perfect Look.  

The reason I love this makeup look is because I feel that these tools highlight the best features of our face. Also with so much heat I don't think it's in anyones best interest to over do their makeup because it will probably melt off your face anyway.

La razón que me encanta este look de maquillaje es porque siento que resaltar las mejores características de nuestro rostro. También con tanto calor no creo nadie debe de usar tanto maquillaje porque probablemente derretirá la cara de todos modos.
For your eyebrows I want to recommend Wet N' Wild Cosmetics eyebrow kit. I've been using it for years and it's my favorites. I've tried way more expensive options but always go back to this.

Para tus cejas quiero recomendar Wet N' Wild cosméticos kit de cejas. Lo he estado usando durante años y es de mis favoritos. He intentado opciones más costosas pero siempre vuelvo a esto.


You can find it at Walgreens HERE.

Is there any makeup and beauty trends you're wild about this season?

Que looks de maquillaje te gustan a ti esta temporada? 

Hello Nubians,



Add a little life in your eye makeup this Spring/Summer with a simple eye-shadow trick.It's probably the easiest how to EVER.  I always like to highlight the bottom of my eyes with a bright and bold color using eye-shadow instead of a makeup pencil. I feel like the results last longer. In the video below I used the Wet N' Wild "Art In The Streets" palette. I hope you enjoy the video and please subscribe to NubTube HERE.

Agrega un poco de vida en tu maquillaje de ojo esta Primavera/Verano con un simple truco de sombra de ojos. Creo que es el tutorial mas facil del mundo. Con un color de sombra brillante puedes hacer una gran diferencia. Me gusta mas usar sombra  de ojos en lugar de un lápiz de maquillaje. Siento que los resultados duran más. En el siguiente vídeo usé el Wet N' Wild "Art In The Streets". Espero que disfrute el video y suscríbase a NubTube aquí.

Hello Nubians,

There's something refreshing and dare I say sexy about wearing all white clothing. During Summer time it's always been pretty popular. Not only do you get to maintain your clean appearance, but it keeps you cool under the sun. It's classic and timeless.


I'm looking forward to putting together other all white ensembles.... I'm thinking white skinny jeans with a wife beater would look fabulous or maybe even denim cutoffs.








What's your ideal Summer white ensemble?
