Show off your exercise tracker in Pure Elegance with Jewelry from fitjewels

FUSIONG-2T
When I start a project, whether it’s a diet, blog or exercise routine, I become obsessed with all the little details. I write everything down, do my research and try to stay as committed as possible. Blogging is easy to stay committed to, but diet and exercise is a different story until I got my new activity tracker. I love the tracker, I can track my sleep, steps and most importantly, my calories and food journal with ease. It’s amazing, whether it’s a Fitbit, Fitbit Flex, or a Xiaomi Mi chip, it really does keep you on track. Now let’s talk about the rubber wrist band that comes with it. The are great for everyday wear but let’s face it, when you want to wear something pretty, you don’t want to wear a black or bright colored rubber band around your wrist, it just isn’t elegant. If you need to wear your exercise tracker and want it to look fashionable and sophisticated, you do have options.

I recently discovered fitjewels fitjewels has the most amazing jewelry that will hold your tracker allowing it to look fashionable. fitjewels carries a line of bracelets, necklace sets, and pendants. The styles are gorgeous and come in different finishes like 18K Gold Plate, Silver, Rhodium, 18 K Rose Gold Plated and Sterling Silver. Several of the fitjewels bracelets are offered with a leather strap making them stylish as ever. fitjewels has so many styles available to fit any style tracker, Fitbit, Fitbit Flex, Xiaomi Mi Chip, Jawbone and Sony Smart Band.

fitjewels newest Bracelet, Fusion in 18K Gold, (shown above) is the latest in their exquisite line of tracker jewelry. This sleek and feminine bracelet is available in  6.5 inches (Small)  and up to 7.5 inches (Medium) and is also available in Rose Gold. It is a handmade item from 925 sterling silver containing real leather. The Fusion is perfect for people with allergies  and is 100% nickel free

UnknownThe style of the Fusion Black/Silver (shown above) is made from 925 sterling silver and real leather. For silver lovers everywhere,  this bracelet will look great on your wrist whether you are wearing a casual or dressy outfit. Both of these bracelets are gorgeous, and I can’t wait to snag one. You can wear the fitjewels with or without the tracker; they are so versatile.

I am sporting my Fitbit Flexer in a stylish fitjewels Rhodium plated XIA pendant (shown above). My daughter noticed how pretty the pendant was and thought there was a precious stone inside. She was quite surprised when I told her it was my Fitbit jewelry. The Fitbit easily goes in and out of the pendant with plenty of room and is secure once the clasp is locked. This particular pendant is designed for the Xiaomi Mi (sold separately) chip but I have a Fitbit Flexer inside and it fits beautifully. The jewelry is so beautiful and will look amazing on any outfit. People will be looking at your jewelry and not the rubber band that is on your wrist.

Any piece of jewelry from the fitjewels line will be the perfect gift especially if you know someone who can’t live without their fitness tracker on at all times. I am going to Pre-Order my Fusion Bracelet for my Fitbit Flex now! You will love your jewelry and if you don’t love it fitjewels offers FREE returns in the US – no questions asked.

Finish your holiday shopping with a piece of jewelry from fitjewels!

Give the Gift of Gorgeous Skin

Holiday-images-astounding-snow-snowflakes-winter-christmas-tree-lights-holiday-hd

Tis the season, for holiday parties and that means to me that I have to really take care of my skin because I wear more make up at this time of the year than I wear the whole year. You have to put your best Face forward and try to look like the women in the magazine, pure perfection. Yeah, we all know that they are all touched up but still that is what I am shooting for; that perfect air brushed look, in person.

Primer

In order to have that air brushed look you have to start with primer, not just any primer (not all primers are created equally). Skinn Cosmetics Orchid Gel Canvas-Ready Treatment Primer is magical. It makes my skin silky smooth, buttery soft and it’s almost unreal how it goes on and blurs the look of my pores! It is very easy to use, just apply a small amount on after you moisturize and before your foundation or tinted moisturizer. I am in love with this primer, it doesn’t have a weird tint to it like others that I have used. You know what I mean, when you apply it, the product has that grayish color that makes you wonder how this is going to effect the look of my tinted moisturizer. Orchis Gel Canvas-Ready Treatment Primer doesn’t do that all. It makes my make up application of make up smooth, even, just flawless. You can even wear it without foundation, that’s how magical it it. This primer does make me feel like my face if air brushed protection. To get your magical primer click here: Skinn Cosmetic Orchid Gel Canvas-Ready Treatment Primer

lip 6x

Did you get the memo? Full lips are in! I have noticed more and more pouty lips pooping up in commercials and magazines. Have you ever wanted those pouty lips you see in the magazine? I know I have, looking in the magazine and seeing women with those beautifully pouty lips makes me wonder what is going on in the lip world. I know full lips have been all the rage, but I diffidently don’t want injections nor do I want to put my lips into a bottle and boost my blood vessels so that was the end of the search for me. Until I got this spellbinding product. Have you heard of Skinn Cosmetics Lip 6X Pro-Volume Lip Enhancing Serum. I am so jazzed, this product is shocking!!! This Serum plumps and hydrate your lips without a needle, just apply a pea size amount to your clean, dry lips twice a day and get those va va voom lips you see the magazine! It helps enhance the appearance of your lips’ natural curve while firming them. The results are immediate and long-term. You can get it here, Skinn Cosmetics Lip 6X Pro-Volume Lip Enhancing Serum and add volume to your lips.

Body Oil

Now that your lips are full and youthful looking and your face has that air brushed looked, let’s get your body dewy and youthful as well. Hydrated, healthy skin is always in so when you are looking for a moisturizer for your body look at Skinn Cosmetics Collagenesis Essential Radiance Body Oil. You can use it directly out the shower, while your skin is still moist. When you are completely dry just admire how your skin has that natural youthful glow. The oil absorbs quickly and it is not greasy. This body oil is full of Omegas, it has an anti-aging benefits that is marvelous for women of a certain age.

Sheen cover EVA MARCILLE

Sheen cover girl EVA MARCILLE

 

The ever so stunning EVA MARCILLE is a smashing hit on the Cover of the

January/February, YEAR OF THE WOMAN issue. Plus, SHEEN Magazine enters a new

era in 2016 celebrating a Decade of Existence and Beauty Cultivation.

 

SHEEN Magazine, the black owned and operated publication, salutes the contemporary

superwoman in its 10th year of existence and beauty cultivation. Cover girl Eva Marcille

flawless, cutting edge beauty, modeling, acting career and motherhood are the epitome of the

new age superwoman. With the rise of women of color leading and writing primetime shows,

such as Shonda Rhimes, actress Viola Davis said it best: “the only thing that separates women

of color from anyone else is opportunity.”

 

The Beauty section explores the idea of a simple lip color change can transform your look from a

zero to a shero. We recreate superstars Meagan Good, Sonequa Martin-Green and Kerry

Washington’s makeup from start to finish and more for the beauty maven.

 

Do the sight of a Blue Magic jar and a hot comb still make you cringe? We discuss the benefits

of using natural hair oils and traditional hair grease. Plus, Master Colorist and Celebrity Stylist

Mychael Michelle shows us how to achieve vivacious hair color for her clients.

 

Fashion is Liberation! In salute of the Obama’s last year in the White House, we replicate one of

FLOTUS Michelle Obama’s iconic looks and highlight her graceful style through the years.

Valentine’s Day is coming with speed– Be Fashionably Correct with the trendiest items to add

to your look for a night to remember in the name of love.

 

In this issue’s Life + Culture section, we pose the poignant questions about Hillary Clinton

potentially the first woman President and the face of black feminism.

A revolution is finally happening in Media and American Beauty. The iconic and legendary

model Grace Jones led the way for Winnie Harlow and Diandra Forrest to set the new

standard for diversity on the runway.

 

Mandate Morris Chestnut is the leader of the pack for the #SHEENTeam Valentine’s Day

Celeb Crush and featured actor. Castmate and Rosewood star, Gabrielle Dennis, gives us a look

into her thriving career with actress Tamala Jones providing an update to her life and health.
