The Woman Behind the H&M You Know & Love

Nicole Christie: The Woman Behind the H&M You Know & Love

This may appear to be an ode to Nicole Christie, and I don’t know that I can argue anything short of that. H&M’s brilliance and commitment to redefining norms clearly extends beyond their clothing! Nicole Christie is a refreshing example of someone who can have it all, and still remain humble. I had the pleasure of catching up with the Fashion Star judge, and she offered some great advice to our Coffey Break readers!

Houston has received two H&M’s over the course of the last two months, and Houstonians couldn’t be more excited! We discussed the future of H&M in Houston, how to start a career in fashion and the benefits of getting a college education. Check out the interview below:

The Beauty Review with Meagan Ball-Jordan

Rosebud Salve

One of the most sensual and beautiful smells in the world is probably the smell of fresh roses. The smell of  fresh flowers seems to awaken all the senses and instantly puts us in a better mood. I was reading an article a few months ago that featured the Queen Bey aka Beyonce’. Being considered one of the most

beautiful women in the world, of course everyone wants her to dish on her favorite beauty products in hopes they can achieve some of her same looks. Beyonce’ mentioned one of her favorite products to use was Rosebud Salve. Rosebud Salve is a blend of essential oils and cottonseed oil that is an all purpose skin prep. She uses it to prime her eyelashes before she puts on mascara.  While shopping in one of my beloved stores for all things beauty, Sephora, I came across a tin of Rosebud Salve next to the register. I instantly popped it in my bag and it only cost me a whopping $6!.

If you are one of those girls that doesn’t wear  much eye makeup, this product is a great alternative for mascara. It makes the eyelashes stand out without the thickness and clump factor some mascaras provide. It is also a great conditioner for the lips, cuticles, hands, and feet. It soothes dry and itchy skin and leaves you feeling moisturized all day long. I absolutely love this product and never leave home without a tin in my purse.

Purchase at Sephora stores or online at www.sephora.com and www.drugstore.com
