You absolutely cannot beat that!. Since I had already tried them on and they fit perfectly and the fact that I had fell in love at first site I opt'd for the no return policy!

5 Ways to Promote Your Blog Courtesy of Style Sample Mag!!
I found this information to be more than helpful:)! Check out what Style Sample Mag has to say below regarding promoting your blog and growing your followers.....

As bloggers, we spend a lot (a lot) of time online–which makes sense as that’s where so much of our work takes place. Unfortunately, that makes it easy to forget about talking about your online life with people in real life, but doing so is absolutely essential to growing your readership. While social media has made it easier than ever to connect with people on the web, there’s still nothing like a little face-to-face interaction.
Here are a few suggestions for getting out and making contacts:
1. Hand out business cards
They make you seem more professional and help serve as a tangible reminder of who you are and what you do. Someone compliments your outfit? Hand them a card and introduce yourself! People are much more likely to check out your blog if they’ve met you in person.
2. Cover events
Check your local calendar listing and see if there’s an event you’d like to cover. If you email the event organizers beforehand to let them know you’ll be there, there’s a good chance they’ll offer to let you hang out behind the scenes.
Note: Showing up with a camera and a notepad pretty much guarantees a certain amount of credibility–people will think you know what you’re doing, even if you don’t. Introduce yourself to these people.
Note: Showing up with a camera and a notepad pretty much guarantees a certain amount of credibility–people will think you know what you’re doing, even if you don’t. Introduce yourself to these people.
Be sure to email a link to your coverage to the event organizer, and follow up with any connections you make.
3. Send promotional postcards
Again, these serve as a tangible reminder of your site. As a plus, you don’t actually have to be present to distribute postcards–leave them in your favorite coffee shops and bookstores, and mail them (yes, snail mail with stamps and such) to editors, journalists, boutique owners, designers, galleries, photographers–whomever you think would be interested in your site.
4. Participate in craft shows and street fairs
This is especially useful if you sell stuff–clothing, accessories, jewelry, crafts, even if you offer services. Summer and the holidays are prime time for street fairs and craft shows, so check show listing sites, gather your merchandise or develop a demonstration of your services, and sign up! Be sure to take plenty of business cards to pass out to prospective customers.
5. Join a blogging group
Blogging is pretty widespread, and if you live in a reasonably-sized city, there’s likely a group of bloggers that meet to share tips and advice and generally hang out. If there isn’t one in your area, see if you can find a few local bloggers and start one. Search the blogrolls of a local food/relationship/mommy blogger and see who you can connect with. You could also try searching for Tweetups (somebody’s bound to blog) and local social media groups on GoogleLinkedIn. or
Bonus: If your group grows large enough and happens to include a few people with connections, there’s a good chance you could receive media coverage!
Now get out there, shake some hands, and kiss some babies!
Share and enjoy!

Shy Magazine's Interview With Worlds No. 1 International DJ, DJ. Chick
First let me say that this interview was long overdue! DJ Chick has been rockin some of the biggest International, Caribbean, R&B and Hip Hop tunes in the Washington DC area for a very very long time.
I first met DJ Chick in 2003 while he was spinning at the Zanzibar (previously spinning at DC Live which later turned to ClubVIP) and later followed him over to Dream/Love, H2O, Park and of course none other than the Crossroads Night Club. Which if you are not familiar with the international scene in the Washington DC area, Crossroads used to be the place to be if you wanted to hear all of the latest international tunes and not that watered down stuff. So imagine my excitement when I clicked on Shy Mag and saw the write up, you would have thought that Shy Mag was doing a write of me! lol!
Washingtonians are so well traveled and culturally diverse that for some clubs that only play Hip Hop/ R&B is just not an option.
Being fully American I enjoy the fact that I have choices and that I do not have to listen to straight R&B/Hip Hop, Go-Go, Old Skool or House music whenever I step out. I have chosen not to frequent certain clubs specifically because of this.
Going out is about fun, dancing and enjoying your self and this is something that you will recieve each and everytime you find yourself at party in which Dj Chick is spinning.
So big up to Shy Mag thank you for putting DJ Chick's name out there even more because this interview was well deserved!
Upon taking over Friday nights at Lux Night Club in Washington DC I can personally say that I have watched the crowds grow in great numbers and all of this in my opinion was due to DJ. Chick rocking all of the international beats!
But it amazes me how when listening to radio promo's regarding all of the happening nightclubs you never once hear them throw DJ Chick's name out as one of the featured DJ's of the night. I could never myself understand this, due to the fact that the international community in the Washington DC area draws out the masses and what some fail to realize is that if a DJ decides to pack up and take his turntables somewhere else his crowd will follow! That's just something to think about!
So with all of this being said big up's to Shy Mag and DJ Chick may you both have continued success!
If you are ever in the Washington DC area and you are looking to hear some international tunes look up DJ Chick you will definitely get your money's worth!
Please see Interview Below!
“The world has gone past the stage when people just belong in small groups of their own.”
| by Danielle Joynes //2010//
The enigmatic DJ Chick, self proclaimed “World’s No. 1 International DJ”, sat down with Shy Magazine to share his philosophy on life, music, and the world as a whole. And, what he has to say and play is worth our undivided attention.
Three main points that came across loud and clear were Chick’s love for all music, his wish to diversify music, and his desire to bring focus on issues that plight the world over. Chick’s repertoire is widespread and is best shown through the artists he has shared the stage with; to name a few would slight the DJ’s impressive resume.
From Buju Banton, Shabba Ranks, Beenie Man, Beres Hammond, DMX, TI, Lil Wayne, Chuck Brown, David Rudder, Fela, 2 Face, Awilo, Doug Suga, Koffie Olomide, Lucky Dube, Hugh Masakela, Shakira, Khaled, Mashal Montana, Sonny Okuson, and many more. On any given night you can find him traveling the world, but at this moment he can be found at Lux Lounge, DC on Friday nights. Where the air is thick with a blend of Soca, Calypso, Hip Hop, 9aija Sounds, CaboLove, Salsa, and Reggae.
The blends given on Friday nights at Lux are equal to the crowd Chick draws, well informed, well traveled party goers looking for a mix of genres that are sure to move. Chick confidently speaks, “My party is for those with an open mind who accept everyone’s culture and music.” His claims to be ‘all inclusive’ are true to form on Friday’s when the “The World’s No. 1 International DJ”, takes the mic hyping the crowd to dizzying proportions, everyone is dancing even the usual bottle poppers are in rare form- swaying outside of their limited VIP space. When asked of Hip Hop’s influence on international music you would be surprised at the response. Chick knows how the genre has influenced South African, Reggaeton and much of the French Carribean’s crossover music.
One spinoff that is proving to be largely popular is Nigerian music shown in the upcoming BET award nominations, P. Square, won out the votes over usual Carribbean forerunners. A main frustration of Chicks when asked his standpoint on American radioplay versus international, “If the media would help promote diversity through music the DJ’s job wouldn’t be so difficult.”
DJ Chick’s party’s draw numbers in the thousands which for a DJ in America is impressive, after all European DJ’s get stadiums it’s enough to make us wonder in a city so diverse when we are going to recognize what party potential we are missing.
What adds to DJ Chick’s impresario is his confidence that he is the only one doing what he does, his confidence is assured by his stage presence and the list of those he has spun for such as Fela. So be on the lookout, if you are one of the lucky 15,000 contacts in DJ Chick’s blackberry, his shows are always hype and at various events the proceeds go to causes in support of underprivileged people.

L'Oreal Product Review!
While in attendance to the Makeup Show last month in NYC (Oh what a blast and an abundance of information, tools and tricks of the trade did I receive)!!!!!! I was given a goodie bag from L'Oreal Paris with all sorts of treats inside.
Please see product review below:
L' Oreal Double Extend with Lash Boosting Serum: At first the verdict was completely out regarding this product, but after a couple of days of using it I would have to say that I absolutely fell in love! Its basically a three step process. However I only use the lash boosting serum if I am going out on the town. I am telling you this product is a winner in my book. There is absolutely no clump and I love the small but thickness of the mascara wand. Due to its small size the wand is able to capture each eyelash, enhancing the eye and bringing you nothing but pure beauty!
Side bar: I have to admit just a small little secret to ya, as silly as it may sound I actually felt important while putting this on lol! I started to feel real diva like~ ok not that I am not a DIVA~ But it just enhanced my diva like persona due to the three part steps! lol!
L'Oreal HiP Color Presso: I recieved two of these precious little beaut's in my bag and I love them. Each gloss is equvilant to four, each tube containing a different color. You can mix them together, wear them alone or wear them on top of your lip stick for an added glossy look. Thick in texture and to top it off they are not sticky, which is somewhat of a deal breaker for me~
Secret No. 1 Base: I myself did not like this product. Reason being is that
upon applying it I could not get over the thick like texture. After applying it to my face I began to feel itchy and sticky, so I immediately washed it off. I will more than likely give it a second try and report back on my verdict!
