A new way to FIGHT RAPE
Last year the White House ran an “Apps Against Abuse” Challenge to Help Address Sexual Assault and Dating Violence. The apps “Circle of 6” and “On Watch” were the two winning apps out of 30 submitted applications. Both apps are set to be released early this year, and we’re hoping we’ll see them in the next month or two!
What On Watch 6 says about their App:
“Protect yourself, Provide support, Promote respect
OnWatch is a mobile app designed to help young adults–those most at risk for sexual violence and dating abuse–protect themselves and provide support to their peers, by instantly and discreetly connecting them to the people they trust when they need it most. In just two taps, a user can transmit critical information–by phone, email, text [...] Continue reading →
Let's Talk. Diary of the Fashionista [06/07/2010]
Nothing completes a look like a beautiful smile. Some of the worst fashion mistakes have gone unnoticed because an amazing smile stole the show. I have always envied people with smiles that lit up a room. One of my biggest insecurities has always hid behind my lips. My teeth have been something I have always concealed due to a bad incident with a dentist years ago. For the most part, I avoided anything more than a cleaning, and figured I would just live with my less than perfect teeth. To be honest, I don’t think an open mouthed picture of me exists out there.
I figured I can get through life with closed mouthed smiles, and if need be, I know some amazing photographers that are Photoshop experts. But recently, my oldest son started asking me why I don’t smile in pictures. When [...] Continue reading →
Let's Talk – Diary of the Fashionista [05/26/2010]
What is true style? Is it something you’re born with or something you develop along the way? Is it the knowledge of brands, designers, or an eye for what makes you look effortless? Everyday more and more people are posting blogs with what they wear, how they style it, and why they should be looked up to when it comes to fashion and trends with hopes of developing a following. But I think a lot more goes into having style than meets the eye.
There are some style/fashion blogs that I love, follow, and have followed for years. I will never be them, and the closest I can come to that would be to “imitate” what they’re naturally graceful at. In the world of fashion the last thing we need is another imitation. I think it’s vital to stay true to ones roots, even at t [...] Continue reading →
Let's Talk – Diary of the Fashionista [05/21/2010]
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting a few of our readers these past few months, and have received the most amazing emails and messages as well. To say the least, I am blessed to have each of you as a reader. Besides my love for fashion and shopping there is a whole another side to me and I want to share it with you.
My family has my heart, before Dior, Gucci, Prada, and even Louboutin. They are my biggest fans and my motivation in all that I do. I’m sure you’ll hear more about them in upcoming entries and posts, but the truth is that without them in my life, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do, and meet all you amazing people.
I haven’t always been a fashionista, and as I celebrate my 30th birthday I can promise you I spent the majority of that time as a walki [...] Continue reading →
