Nothing can cheat you out of an experience or prevent you from sharing something inspiring. Since there are always miraculous things at work unseen. I know this to be true based on my own experiences, revelations and blessings.

While the media is hard at work detailing Beyonce's caption tribute to Kim Porter, the now deceased Mother of his children, there are more "Beautiful Things Than Beyonce" and her caption "Heaven Could not wait" No disrespect to Kim Porter; may she rest in peace. Still...

While there are may products I have yet to share with Abornewords Readers, right now I am pleased to be buzzing about Vita Liberata Body Blur. I received a full size product in Latte Dark as a Poshly Prize. Love those opportunities! It came in the usual white package, sealed secure and everything. However, when I opened it, the tube felt like I had already shared it with my Sister. It was squeezable and did not seem full. Still I was eager to try it but realized pretty quickly, the applicator...

Leah Vernon is so animated in this beauty tutorial video.

Being consistent is something that Leah Vernon does best. Working online requires consistency and it is easy to fall off as life happens. Let's face it sometimes we get busy, finances change and our ability to keep up with our agenda does not always happen like we plan. What I appreciate is, Leah's ability to drive her body positive message home in all that she does. Even when she has her bad days, she owns it and keeps pushing. Somet...

Aretha Franklin: To Talk About The Dead and The Freeway Of Love Song To talk about the dead is not something I make habit of doing on Abornewords. However, losing Aretha Franklin has called me to the table for a Rest In Peace nod, like no other, all glamoured up in words. Some time ago, I attended a Mary Kay Event and before getting mini makeovers, attendees were warmed up to the sounds of Aretha Franklin singing Pink Cadillac. We enjoyed ourselves and did our two steps and a few other moves...

Dry Lips Suck! That's why when I discovered the Hydrating Lip Gel Patches from Patchology, I knew I would make them a part of my regular #BeautyRoutine. Spalike quality is how I would describe them. Except, the added benefit is, you can do this yourself while relaxing in your bed, watching a movie. I did it while watching the movie entitled Big Miracle starring Drew Barrymore. While she was going gaga over 3 whales who were trapped under ice glaciers and leading rescue efforts, I...

Black Men and Black Women don't be fooled into believing sunscreen and self tanning products are unnecessary because of your skin tone. I use sunscreen and self tanners and both do wonders for my dull skin. Poshly contacted me via email with an opportunity to be awards prizes, as a participant on the Poshly Website. I jumped at the chance to try Vita Liberata advanced organics. Vita Liberata invisi is a foaming tanning water.

I used my bare hand to apply it to start so I could see if my finger...

News of a woman allegedly claiming 20 year old makeup is the reason she is leggally blind, shocked and horrified me. Shocked, she had not used make up in such a long time. Horrified of the thought, something like this could happen. In the image above, I am wearing Stargazer, The Metal Shock Lipstick by Essence Cosmetics. Shop the Metal Shock Lipstick That's all. Kudos

When it comes to interacting with clients there is no one way to achieve success since seeing everyone as an individual is always best, even when there are commonalities. Before you begin I will say it is just as much about what you do as it is about how you feel, meaning your attitude will likely set the tone for what will happen next and throughout your interaction, even if it is not interacting face to face so be mindful of how you are feeling before you begin to pitch or close the sale an...

Ever wondered about Nice Gunz Reason his song entitled She A Savage? Could he have been strategically speaking to Lady Dahlia and giving her props at the same time? Well Geedy P. is the brains behind the promotion strategy for most of what Social Media is being shared for New Orleans Rapper Nice Gunz so even though he has not spilled the beans, it must be okay to assume right? Street Dreamz Muzik just might be onto something. Remember this video from Lady Dahlia?
