A Natural Beauty & Magical Moment for Little Girls:

What a wonderful collaboration with Carol’s Daughter and Disney. The two companies have partnered as of the Fall of 2009; presenting a brand new and limited edition "Magical Beauty Collection" which consists of hair and bath products for children. The magical theme of each item is in reference to “The Princess and The Frog”. Be one of the first to find out when the magical collection will be available for your little princess by signing up through the following link: http://www.carolsdaughter.com/display.do?ruleID=100396&utm_source=cheetah&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20090915-DISNEY. I know I will for my two princesses because the hair milk collaborates with the natural curls in my kid’s hair and now they can have their own shampoo and conditioner. I think the children are going to be so excited to have a Disney character featuring on one of the best natural hair, bath, and body products ever. I am all for this because Carol’s Daughter Products, Disney, and Frogs are certainly on the Cartilini’s List of Favorites. Log on to Carol’s Daughter at www.carolsdaughter.com to find out the Best Sellers, The Lisa Price Hair Recipe, and all about The Back Room. You can also receive free shipping on orders over $50.

Fashion & Style

Know your Figure: “Tight is not always right”. Wear clothing that you are comfortable in. There’s a liaison between style and comfort. When you look good, you feel good. Attention all Females: becoming familiar with your figure is very important when shopping for dresses and gowns. This can be a big assistance to the silhouette of your dress. The “silhouette” of your wardrobe is the foundation of your dress which contours the shape of your attire.
Dress in Proportions: Using the proportion style method is one of the key elements to dressing for success. “It is not what you wear; it is how you wear it”. So don’t be afraid to coordinate. Remember, it is always best to choose quality over quantity.
Have Your Swag Together: “Wear the skirt; don’t let the skirt wear you”. Always remain confident in whatever you wear. A person’s swag can really compliment their function of dress. Be yourself. Your style is what makes you unique. In the fashion industry, style is defined by distinctive characteristics. You don’t have to be a celebrity to be a trend setter.
Refrain from mix matching Patterns: Loud colors and patterns draw to much attention to specific areas of ones body. Wear light colors to create a good focal point. Use dark colors to draw less attention. One should always be mindful of the seasons of the year, the garment selection of the attire, and the color scheme of your outfit. “Remember, plaids and stripes just don’t look right”.
Minimize the Bling: Use beading and embellishments to accent your outfit but, keep it to a minimum. “Even if you can afford to, do not over it”. If you have a nice waist line, perhaps wearing a shiny belt may compliment what you are wearing. If you are showing cleavage, wearing a beaded necklace may complete your fashion statement.
