Here are five travel tips and essentials from Pierce to make the next travel experience an incredible one.

  • Keep it all together. Take a stylish Passport cover with you. It can hold a passport, money, license, business cards, baggage claim ticket and more. It fits perfectly into any size bag for easy travel and comes in vibrant colors and designs, just perfect for any fashionable world-traveler.
  • Stay near, not in, main attractions. Popular travel destinations usually mean a bigger budget but you can save while still hitting the hot spots. Stay in a neighboring location that’s a little less popular, and then head over to the main attraction for the day. Avoid high costs while still soaking in your dream destination.
  • Dream of world exploration. Use your Travelpreneur Affirmation Cards to help manifest your dream destinations and adventures. Each card comes with an area to paste pictures of the dream vacation as well as an affirmation created by Pierce, which she used over the years to manifest many dream trips of her own.
  • Travel with friends. One of her favorite travel hacks and money savers, Pierce suggests traveling with friends. The trip become a lot of fun and everything becomes so more affordable when splitting the bills. Share a room, split meals, and get great group discounts to spread your money a little further.
  • Keep a stylish travel log. Jot down adventures, aspirations, and desires in the Around the World in Style: The Travel Journal. This beautiful journal will let you pen your travel memories in style, scrapbook pages of your travels, and visualize your next dream destination.

High Anxiety: 5 Things that Set Us Off and What to Do

Anxiety is defined as a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. It’s future thinking in a negative way. While it’s normal to have concerns from time to time, chronic anxiety leads to loss of appetite, insomnia, compromised immunity and other diseases. Dr. Sanam Hafeez PsyD a NYC based licensed clinical psychologist, Teaching Faculty Member at the prestigious Columbia University Teacher’s College and the founder and Clinical Director of Comprehensive Consultation Psychological Services, shares 5 common anxiety triggers and offers insights and tips for what we can do to get back into ease.

  1. Retirement

Once people hit 40, they feel as if the years are going quicker and the money is running out. They panic. They look at the math and it simply doesn’t add up to a life of abundance. They’re plagued with thoughts of an unknown future with medical expenses, costs for housing, food, and with every item added to the list, they get more and more anxious. “Some people go into denial because they feel such an intense of fear. While it’s normal to want to shift your thinking, avoidance only leads to more anxiety,” explains Dr. Hafeez. She suggests settling the mind with information and action. “The more you know about your retirement goals and create a plan of action, the more you can include other family members, shift finances and get clarity on what’s real. Information combined with action will give a sense of control.”

  1. Job Loss

Years ago, people would rebound faster from job loss. Within a month they would find another job often at a higher salary. Saving a bit of money as an “emergency fund” to keep up with expenses should there be a job loss was also a possibility. Times are very different now. These days people lose their job and it creates a complete upheaval in their lives. Finances are depleted and it could take months before getting another job and at times, people accept less money just to have a salary. “I have patients with good careers anxious that there will be a cut back and they’ll be let go without any idea what to do next. This scarcity mindset leads to anxiety. I always remind them to explore other income generating options of interest to them currently so they don’t feel as if their well-being is solely determined by their employer. Anxiety is rooted in fear and this fear is quite common, unfortunately,” says Dr. Hafeez.

  1. Health

When you’re anxious about your health, it dominates your mind. “The worst part about health-related anxiety is that it makes you feel worse and prolongs any kind of recovery,” warns Dr. Hafeez. A lot of people make the mistake of researching different conditions online and self-diagnose. They get overwhelmed with all the possibilities of what may be. “The best thing to do is take control of your health by staying current with doctor visits, exercise, eat healthily and focus your attention on optimal health,” she advises.

  1. Divorce

Marital strife is a common cause for anxiety. “It’s very common for people who are going through divorce to lose weight due to anxiety and stress. Night anxiety is also common which is when you can fall asleep, but then suddenly awaken out of a sound sleep feeling sad, panicked, unable to go back to sleep,” Dr. Hafeez says. “When anxiety interferes with one’s ability to eat and sleep, consulting with a therapist can be helpful. Divorce is a major life event that radically changes one’s life. Depression and anxiety are common,” she adds.   

  1. Terrorism and other acts of violence.

We live in a very different world today. Unfortunately, every time we board an airplane, enter a shopping mall, go to a concert, the movies or send our kids to school, we get anxious. Terrorism is intended to make people fearful and anxious. What can we do? “Again, anxiety is triggered by a loss of control. It’s rooted in a feeling of possible danger without warning. So be vigilant. Observe your surroundings. Report anything that seems suspicious. Put an emergency plan in place with family and loved ones. When triggered by anxiety ask, what do I need to know here? What can I control in this situation? Then do what you must to feel better and prepared,” recommends Dr. Hafeez.

The common thread here is to first acknowledge the feeling of anxiety, then assess the source of it, then access information and make an action plan to make you feel more in control.

How to plan a unique wedding celebration

Your wedding day should be a special celebration of the love that you share with your partner. No two relationships are the same, so why should your wedding blend into the background? If you would like your big day to stand out for all the right reasons, you will need to pay close attention to the following five tips.

Select an interesting location

One of the most important steps is to select an interesting location to use for your unique wedding celebration. Instead of following the crowd, why not use this an opportunity to think outside the box? Perhaps you could host your wedding in an exotic location. Or, maybe you could enjoy the ceremony outdoors. This is a brilliant way for you to get your guests excited and to ensure your wedding is a memorable experience.  

Think about your dress code

You should also endeavor to select a memorable dress code for your celebration. One option is to have all of your guests wear the same color. Or, you could do the exact opposite and encourage everyone to wear the brightest garments they can find. Depending on what you decide, it might be a good idea to include hints and tips on your invites. This will reassure you that everyone is on the same page.

Get creative with your decorations

Another important step is to get creative with your choice of decorations. Why not have a go at making a few of them yourself? This is an especially good idea if you are skilled at arts and crafts. Although you will want to have a few personal touches at your wedding, you will also be required to make plenty of purchases. When it comes to finding the right suppliers, you need to prioritize quality. Luckily, you can get all of the essentials online. For instance, if you are looking for beautiful and unique flower arrangements, you can visit TheFlowerExchange.com.  

Find exciting entertainment

You should also go online when the time comes to find exciting entertainment for your celebration. Why not use social media to explore your options? You are sure to find a wide range of performers on YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. During your search, you need to remember that you are the one in driver’s seat. It is up to you whether your wedding has a caricaturist, a fire breather, or a whole host of singing servers. Don’t be swayed by your nearest and dearest; select an entertainment option that works for you.

Organize unusual refreshments

Last but not least, you should organize unusual refreshments. This is an excellent idea if either you or your special someone is a lover of food. Of course you will need to provide options that every one of your guests will enjoy. However, you shouldn’t be afraid to have at least a couple of exciting surprises thrown in. You should also steer clear of being overly formal in your approach, as there is no shame in trusting your gut and simply choosing the dish that tastes the best.

Not Your Momma’s Hair Mousse

20-Year Stylist and Natural Curl Guru with Tips on Mastering Mousse

Styling mousse first came on the scene back in the 80’s when big hair was the thing. Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston were the ladies who set the hair trends back then. I’m sure if you see pictures of your mom from the 80’s, you will see the waterfall bangs and curls that were teased, fried and crunchy. It was a cool look then. It’s not cool now. Hair styles and the products we use have changed over the decades.

Maya Smith, International Master of Natural Curls and founder of The Doux®, a haircare line she created specifically for naturally curly hair, has seen the evolution of mousse from the very beginning to now. We caught up with Maya and scored some amazing tips and insights to help you know which ingredients to look for and how to best use mousse to maximize your modern style.

Q: First to get things clear, what is the purpose of mousse? How has it changed from when you first saw it back in the day? What is the main difference from the mousse we see today and those from the 80’s and 90’s? Were they intended for different kinds of styles, textures?

A: When I started in the industry, the 90’s hair was in full effect. Naturally curly girls used mousse to create the Hillary Banks (Fresh Prince of Bel Air) “wet” look. For volume a diffuser was used to get hair to stand up at the roots. The visual results were awesome, but if you tried to re-style your hair once it dried, you were in big trouble! While it was used on curly weaves, extensions, and wigs, mousse wasn’t even an option for girls with super-tight curls or kinky textures. These days, mousse is still used to achieve great definition and shine, but less emphasis is placed on how high your hair stands up, or how stiff the overall look is. It’s much more about softness and movement.

Q: What are some ingredients to look for? What’s good and what should be avoided?

A: Always be sure to look at the ingredients when shopping for products because this can make a big difference. Ingredients such as sodium laurel sulfate (SLS), Isopropyl, and Prolyene have been found to cause breakage and dry out your hair. The best way to achieve healthy hair is to have that balance between protein and moisture.

Q: What causes that crunch and what were some of the problems with the mousse options available that inspired you to create your own? Can mousse be combined with other products? What are the benefits of combining products and steps?

A: It’s common for mousse to be combined with gel or cream because most mousses on the market contain alcohol to make the hair dry faster. They are also polymer rich, which creates a sticky coating on the hair, much like a hairspray. This can leave hair feeling dry and stiff. We formulated our Mousse Def as an all-in-one solution for this problem. It creates the shine and definition of a mousse, yet leaves hair soft and touchable with no flaking.

Q: How does mousse compare to gels and balms? Are gels a thing of the past? Can a balm be used in place of a mousse?  

A: Mousse and gels are water-based products that contain polymers and holding agents that “stiffen” on the hair shaft in order to hold the hair in place. On the other hand, balms, pomades, and control pastes are what we call emulsions, are a mix of oils and water. The Doux’s Bonita Afro Balm is an emulsion developed for moisture and softness that also contains a small amount of polymer for a softer, more flexible hold.

Q: Finally, are Salon or Professional brands worth the money? Do they contain better ingredients?

A: Yes. Products that were formulated for salon use typically contain a higher quality of ingredients. They also contain less water and fillers, so you’re getting a more concentrated product with longer-standing results.

Q: What other advice can you offer to girls with natural curls who want to mix up their hair styles?

A: Try something new. Gone are the days when heavy pomades and gels were your only styling options. Girls who have natural curls deserve to enjoy lighter products that are easy to apply, and create bounce and movement. Maximizing your natural God given hair is what’s popular now.

About Maya Smith

Maya Smith is an International Master Stylist and Founder of The Doux Salon and haircare line now available in Target. With over two decades of styling experience Maya dedicated two decades to cracking the code on curl care, maintenance and expert styling. When it comes to caring for one’s natural hair and styling it, according to NaturallyCurly, Maya is among the best there is.

While still in high school, Maya got her hair cutting license and graduated from beauty school. Soon after graduating high school, Maya began following her passion and worked as an assistant for celebrity stylist Tracy Johnson. She learned from Johnson and progressed as a hair stylist for celebrities and entertainers. Years later the military wife would relocate to Germany, where Maya opened up her first salon The HoneyComb, a mecca for textured hair care for women from all over Europe, The UK, and as far as Africa. Maya’s unique system of textured hair styling sparked the development of The DOUX® haircare products, first launched overseas, and distributed throughout Germany, France, Italy, and the Netherlands.

Currently, Maya leads a carefully selected team of stylists at The DOUX® Salon in Macon, Georgia and celebrated the arrival of The DOUX® in select Target stores nationwide.

Best Gifts To Give A Couple In 2018

Did your friend start off the year by finally walking down the aisle with her college sweetheart whom you all love and adore? Like it is customary for any friendship, lots and lots of gifts should be flying around. You should ensure that you offer them a gift that they will hold dear for a very long time, if not for the rest of their lives. Find the perfect gift is no easy job and this can even give you unnecessary pressure. If you put some thought into it, you will find that it is the simple things that will impress them; the ones that are more thoughtful than the extravagant gifts budget. Here are a few examples that might work:

Bedding Set

At the end of each night, all the quarrels and struggles of the day have to be put aside as the couples cuddle up to each other. Bedding set from trend-gem.com can make this moment even more special for the couple. A good bedding set will offer the couple the much-needed comfort during their time of rest. It is also a thoughtful gift which will offer both physiological and psychological benefits to the couple. A great bedding set offers an assortment of products including a duvet cover, fitted sheets, and pillow shams.

Dual Shower

Most couples use shower time as their own private time to rejuvenate their mind, body, and spirit. This is a time for them to escape from the world as they reconnect in each other’s arms after a day of hard work. However, the regular shower can rarely accommodate two people well. Gifting them with the double-shower head will give them enough space to shower together peacefully.

Picnic Set

The main idea behind your gift should be to give the couple a tool that will help them to spend time together. Giving them a cool picnic hamper is a good way to ensure that they take advantage of the beautiful outdoor surroundings to enjoy and celebrate their love. Going out for a picnic will be as simple as picking up the hamper and going. Each and every piece of cutlery and other accessories that you may need are well-organized in their respective compartments.

Smart Frame

Marriage, and life in general is all about living to the fullest and making memories as you go. The best way to capture these memories and have them with you is by taking pictures and framing them. Giving your favorite couple a smart picture frame is a very thoughtful idea. They can capture the good times from their marriage and relive every single moment of it. They can also use a frame to document the growth of their kids from their early years through to their teenage years and subsequently, adulthood. It is also a very effective way of managing photos since you require only one frame.

The Benefits of a Night Moisturizing Cream

Young female looking at her face in mirror

A night cream can be one of the best choices when it comes to long-term potential. The cream can come with impressive overall benefits which can vary from better hydration to reduced wrinkles. This is why it is important to know that you can see great results when it comes to better overall skin.  If you want to check out the best all natural night cream you can click here.

Improved hydration

The hydration improvement benefit is great with the night cream. Since they get to act for such a long period of time, they will completely absorb into your skin and they thus represent a great solution for better texture and improved results when it comes to a healthier skin. Better hydration also means that you will get to avoid dry spots as well.

Reduced wrinkles

One of the visible effects of night creams comes with wrinkle-reduction. This is why it is important to know that a cream which acts during the night can be a great solution for fine lines and deeper wrinkles. While the final results differ from case to case, you can still see improvements in this area with the right cream. With fewer wrinkles, your skin will look better but it will also enjoy a better hydration level.

Improved natural look

When it comes to the natural glow of the skin, there are many steps you can take but in many cases, you will need to look for the solutions which allow you a great result when it comes to the natural look which is the hardest to maintain in some cases. This is why you need to look for the creams which allow you a great overall result in terms of helping the cell replenishment process of the skin.

Fight aging effects

Aging can be one of the most pressing problems for the skin. It comes to signal you that you will need a minimum care routine to minimize its effects. Cream which fight oxidative stress and which are made with antioxidants are thus a great recommendation. But fighting the effects of aging can also be done with fewer wrinkles and a skin which is properly hydrated and which looks natural. This can be achieved with a night cream within weeks to a certain degree. For the best results, it is also recommended to limit vices such as smoking which have a direct effect on the way your skin looks and feels on the long-term.

Best Teeth Whitening Options


Keeping your teeth white can be a difficult task given that your teeth will invariably become stained over time even if you brush and floss twice every day. To get rid of the stains that naturally accumulate on your teeth, there are a variety of teeth whitening options at your disposal, the following of which are known to be the most effective options for teeth whitening. It’s important to understand that whitening won’t necessarily get rid of the plaque or tartar that’s built up on your teeth, but it can make your teeth whiter if they’ve become yellowed or stained recently.

Whitening Toothpaste

One of the best methods that will assist you in getting your teeth whiter is to make sure that the toothpaste you use every day is whitening toothpaste. Almost all toothpastes work by removing stains on the surface of your teeth, but only whitening toothpastes consist of the chemicals and polishing ingredients that allow for the removal of deeper stains aside from the surface ones. When searching for the right toothpastes, these whitening ones don’t contain any bleach and are comprised instead of ingredients such as hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. These ingredients provide additional whitening once the stains have been removed that gets the white color deeper into the tooth.

When using these types of toothpastes, you can expect your teeth to become around one shade lighter than they were before you started using this product. By combining this whitening option with one or more of the others that are listed here, you may be able to effectively remove all of the unsightly stains on your teeth that cause them to be discolored. You should be aware of the fact that it’s possible to obtain prescription whitening toothpaste as well, which is much stronger than the over-the-counter kind. With this type of toothpaste, your teeth may become three or more shades lighter, which can make for a radiant and beautiful smile.

In-Office Whitening

One of the more effective ways to have your teeth whitened is by scheduling an appointment with a professional dentist, as the whitening provided in-office is known to be strong and long-lasting. With this type of bleaching, the product used for the whitening is placed directly on the teeth and is typically combined with some form of heat such as a laser or special type of dentistry light. While brushing and other whitening products will gradually whiten your teeth, in-office whitening is immediate once the procedure has occurred.

This procedure typically lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and will result in your teeth being whitened by at least a couple of shades. While one treatment is enough to see results, it’s recommended that you make several whitening appointments if you want your teeth to become substantially whiter. To best identify how many appointments you should make to ensure that your desired level of whitening is reached, make sure to ask your dentist.

Whitening Gels and Strips

Whitening gels and strips can be purchased over-the-counter and are known to be highly effective at removing the stains on your teeth and applying a whitening agent. The gels consist primarily of peroxide, which means that the stronger the peroxide the whiter your teeth will become. These gels are placed directly onto the teeth, usually with a small brush. You’ll begin to see the first results in a couple of days and the whitening as a whole should last for at least three months before you need to apply the substance again.

As for whitening strips, these are thin and practically invisible strips that are applied to the upper and lower portions of your teeth. They are layered with whitening gel and are designed to stay on the teeth anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour, depending on the exact product you select. The results should last for at least several months.

Whitening Mouthwash

Along with whitening toothpaste, you might also want to consider some whitening mouthwash. This is a relatively modern product that helps to limit the buildup of dental plaque and freshen your breath while at the same time whitening your teeth with the inclusion of hydrogen peroxide. If only using whitening mouthwash to obtain whiter teeth, the results can take anywhere from 10-12 weeks to be visible. Use this mouthwash around twice each day and make sure to swish it around for 30-60 seconds each time.
