Don't Call it a Comeback!

What up Beau Bellas!
I know what you’re thinking...but hey I’ve been on a major hiatus (finishing up my MBA) and now I’m back feeling refreshed, reenergized and inspired to share my latest and greatest projects with you.


In the midst of my team assignments, dealings with nutty professors and all night term paper compositions, I managed to squeeze in a few “beats” believe it or not.


Side bar***For those of you that are not familiar, the term “beat” is jargon for applying make up to a face (thus the blog title “Beauty and the Beat”). I’m not sure where the term originated from but you may catch me using it from time to time and I didn’t want anyone to mistake the term for physical violence. Seriously folks, I don’t need the drama. ***


(Back to our regularly scheduled program…)


My latest project was the most challenging but also the most fun by far. I teamed up with photographer du jour, Lakaye Mbah (my partner in crime), and beat the faces of six people who are near and dear to my heart….my girlfriends! (Affectionately known to me as GPP) We laughed, we chatted about old times (we’ve all been tight since high school) and coached each other on while I broke my back and a sweat beating them out like they were supermodels. It was hard but definitely worth it as we all enjoyed getting together and acting like we were 17 again. I’ll be featuring each one of them separately with products used as well as showcasing some of the group shots for your enjoyment.

Here’s a sneak peek…






Don’t we look like a new reality TV show? lol


Anyways, in the meantime I’ll continue on with my previous series entitled “Model Ministers”.

Stay tuned…

Ciao Bellas~
