Beauty Bit, The Braiding Handbook

Illustrated by Jacqueline Davis Moranti

When the humidity sky rockets and the the temperatures become unbearable, my hair turns into the biggest frizz fest that the world has ever seen! There can only be but so many days that I can take wearing my hair out, on the other days I like to bun it. Unfortunately, wearing the same style over and over can be quite a drag! Something that's been helping me revive the tired ol' hairstyle is The Braiding Handbook by Abby Smith. The "hair braiding bible!"

T-Shirt Daze

Some days you just want to throw on a comfortable t shirt and pants because putting on anything else feels like such a hassle! It's been quite a hot and humid summer so far, and i'll admit that it's been making me a bit lazy with my warm weather dressing! One of my biggest essentials and main stay pieces for the summer is a handful of t shirts, they make getting dressed in the morning so much easier. Especially when they're quality tees! 

The Secret To Youth...

It's no secret, I love to smile! A smile has a way to connect people like none other, smiles are contagious and bring about happiness. Smiling often can also lengthen your life and make you look more attractive. I try to smile as much as I can and because of that I make sure to take really good care of my teeth! Aside from having braces, as an adolescent, and the annual dentist check ups, there are other things I do to maintain a healthy smile! 

Summer Sips

Summer is here and what better way to cool off than a refreshing beverage?! When you think of summer time drinks do you think of iced tea or lemonade? I dare you to try spicing it up with some of Art In The Age's flavorful spirits, they add a dose of revival to some of your summer time favorites. 

White Linen

Wearing your whites for the summer is now new fad. Wearing whites for the warmer seasons has been the thing to do since Jacqueline Onassis has been donning it, back in the 60s. Wearing white also keeps you cooler, darker colors tend to draw more heat and make you sweat more. I think I sweat quite enough, so wearing clothes of the lightest hue is definitely my go to for hot Philadelphian summers!
