Urban Beauty Tip: Don't wait until the summer to pamper that fabulous body of yours. At least once a week along with the rest of your body exfoliate your backside and the back of your thighs directly under your bum. Then moisturize with cocoa butter based moisturizer. This will give your skin an awesomely even tone and even better...smooth out cellulite! Now,isn't that just bootyful!

Urban Beauty Tip: Sexy, sultry, smokey eyes are super hot during the winter season! Kick your innocent babygirl look up a notch with sexy dark eyes and a gently playful pout. Use a dark brown eyeshadow along the eyelid to the outside corner, apply heavier at corner. Highlight the inside corner of your eye with a divalicious gold, silver or pink and gently blend into the dark brown. Highlight brow bone with same/similiar color to balance out the dark brown. Simply sweep dark brown eyeshadow along your lower lid. Top it off with 2 coats of masacara and VOILA! Whatever you do AVOID BLACK EYELINER especially if you're unfamiliar with this technique! Please be aware if done incorrectly you will look like Pepe Le' Pew the Skunk. But, I have faith in you...You're a fox!

Urban Beauty Tip: Dark chocolate  is full of antioxidants and mega rich in flavanols which lower your risk of heart disease, lung cancer, prostate cancer (mmm..hmm...works for men as well), asthma, and type 2 diabetes!  Add Dove Dark, made by Mars, to your diet. They are available in a convenient and "waist line concious" miniature size ...keep a couple in your purse to snack on as a sweet pick-me-up after lunch. And yes it has to be DARK chocolate. Remember ladies moderation is key...don't tip the scales trying to treat your heart! Enjoy!

Urban Beauty Tip: Improve your eating habits by adding folic acid to your diet through foods like orange juice, grapefruits, beans, spinach,greens, and whole wheat or you can just take one B-9 vitamin tablet a day as a substitution. More importantly adding exercise to your weekly routine is a small yet absolutely crucial step in preventing cancer!

Urban Beauty Tip: Rest those tired, achy feet. Pour 2 cups of mouthwash (yes, the mouthwash you gargle with;)) into your foot spa water, slide your feet on in and lay back and let your foot spa do the rest. The antiseptic mint in the mouthwash will open your pores and soothe your tired feet as well as kill germs and bacteria. Now walk it out!

Urban Beauty Tip: For a  juicy & supple set of kissers, pierce a Vitamin E capsule, squeeze onto finger and smooth over your lips at  bed time. This supplies super hydration and protection from the earth's everyday elements such as wind, heat, and cold weather. Works absolutely fabulous on dry lips and minor discolorations. 

Urban Beauty Tip: For super radiant skin apply a thin layer of pure extra virgin olive oil to your face & neckline at bedtime after a thorough nighttime cleansing! Divas don't do ashy, dry skin....ever!
