It’s important to preserve your flawless skin and enviable hair when the harsh winter weather comes around. With the aid of a few modifications to your routine and a couple preventative measures you could eliminate the stress associated with not-so-glowing skin and bad hair days.

Skin is very important, as it should be especially because it’s the largest organ. As the temperature changes, so do the needs of your skin. A heavier emollient, like thick body butter will keep the skin moisturized longer than a body oil or gel.

Products that contain large amounts of shea butter and olive oil are perfect because together they are easily absorbed and form a protective barrier to block the drying cold weather from damaging your skin. Cocoa butter and coconut oil are also great natural moisturizer that work better than petroleum-based products that protect but don’t nourish the skin.

In addition to applying the right moisturizer, you should also make sure that you dress appropriately. Avoiding exposure of your skin to the bitter weather is significantly effective.

We all want our hair to look its best so here are some tips to keep it up when the temperature drops.

- Never go outside with a wet head. The wash and wear look of the summer is over, and if you want to protect your health and your hair, thoroughly dry it before leaving the house.

- If you choose to wear a winter hat to protect your head, make sure it has a lining to protect your hair from rubbing agaisnt it and causing breakage and dryness. If it doesn’t come with one, use your favorite silk or satin scarf.

- Protective styles such as up-dos, twists, and braids that keep your ends from rubbing against your clothes and being exposed to the cold air are best this time of year.

- To prevent dry hair and scalp try a hot oil treatment. If that’s too oil for your hair type, try adding a tablespoon of olive oil to your favorite conditioner instead. This small step will work wonders to prevent flakes and brittle hair.

Think preservation not hibernation this winter. Take care of your skin and hair and with these tips and tricks you can maintain your CHIC look all year round.

Over the weekend I had the distinct pleasure to celebrate my birthday with my best-friend (Grammy Award Winner) Chrisette Michele with 5 other friends.

To my surprise not only did the hotel book Chrisette stay and to host her birthday party at club LIV, they also booked LMFAO as well too. It was an amazing great time pictures are below……..

About The Lost Ones Foundation

Founded by celebrity fashion maven Tameka Raymond, The Lost Ones Foundation, Inc. is an independent non-profit organization established in 2009 which serves an alienated, marginalized community of young women age 12-18, who are often ignored, set aside, disregarded or ultimately dismissed as “The Lost Ones”.

It is the intent of The Lost Ones Foundation, Inc. to equip these young women with the tools that will encourage them to thrive, which ultimately sets them in motion to elevate the next generation. Through the building of self-esteem, there are so many obstacles that can be overcome. We want the participants to know that we are here with open arms and that “You are not alone.”

Armed with a strong will to succeed and a sharp eye for fashion, she attended the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in 1994 as a Merchandising Marketing major in Los Angeles. She went on to work as a dresser for Giorgio Armani and other designer shows while attending FIDM.

Her work has covered top magazines Harpers Bazaar, Esquire, GQ, Rolling Stone, Seventeen, People, Teen People, The Source, Vibe and Details and graced pages of high-end fashion publications ranging from Glamour to Essence.

The duo, up until now, have been a quiet force in the platinum-charting hip hop world, helping to make hit records and remixes for The Noisettes, Lil’ Kim, The Clipse, Young Gunz, Foxy Brown, GLC and Lupe Fiasco’s electro band Hey Champ just to name a few.

TCM: So that everyone is familiar with Unkommon Kolor and the unique derivation of the name, could you please inform us of how you all define Unkommon Kolor?

JB: Essentially we are a heavily art themed lifestyle brand that primarily focuses on t-shirts and custom hats and shoes.

TCM: Including yourself, who are affiliates of Unkommon Kolor?

With the great amount of evolution that has taken place in United States to date, we could never get away from the fact that we are still a mass of individuals.  Individuals that possess and express individual views and opposition. 

At no one point in time will every American agree with the President.  There maybe some issues in reform that I may disagree with but neither of us, outside of the Presidential Cabinet, possess the knowledge needed to execute such an immense position.  The job description and characteristics necessary to make up that of the President of the United States of America are so unique that only a select few possess them, which gives the explanation as to why there is only one every four to eight years.

Do I think that President Obama’s decision to address the student body was a bad idea?  No I do not, but what I will say is this; it is always nice to have positive reinforcement of the importance of education.  There are so many aspects of society that are deterring our own from furthering their education, that if we, we being “WE the people of the United States,” do not encourage our own, who will?

There were alot of assumptions that President Obama wanted to address the student body with hopes of influencing political views and positions.  This is ridiculous.  I am not one for assumptions; you can not form a sound opinion on that.  I know that when I was in school, if the President decided to address the body, we researched the topics, viewed when televised, and summarized the experience, at its conclusion, as a whole.  There was no OPTION. 

The President’s decision was indeed respected, although it may have been ridiculed on a lower level, it was always respected.  I would hope that as Americans we stand behind our President.  Because regardless, no one party, no one race nor one gender of persons got President Barack Obama elected alone; we all did.

The summer is practically over and we are about to enter into the fall season. You may be wondering how you can get the most out of your summer clothes going into the fall season? TCM has provided you with some helpful tips on how to transition from summer to fall with these helpful hints.

Lightweight cardigan during the cool summer nights a light cardigan keeps you warm, you can now use that same cardigan as a layer piece for the fall season. Great with layer tanks, t-shirts and long sleeved shirts.

A belt will give you a spin on your outfit embellish any dress or cardigan of your choice to make a statement. Let see your bust, waist, and hips this fall season. Make sure you do not go overboard with your belt but keep it interesting and appealing to the eye.  There is no reason to go out and buy a brand new outfit when you can just walk in your closet to a refreshing new outfit.

Platform ankle booties are a great accessory paired with the same skirts and dresses that you wore in the summer. Add opaque tights to your outfit when it gets cooler with a stiletto ankle boot and it will give your outfit the look of fall and a hint of classic chic to it.

A ruffled blouse  is light and cool for those days during the summer now you can turn up the heat and accessorize with studs and grommets. Ruffled blouses are great when paired with slacks and a pencil skirt for work or skinny leg jeans and your platform boots for after work activities.

ALL TIPS LISTED ARE TEEN CHIC MAG APPROVED!

The Dream just got a promotion. He Tweeted yesterday and his last Tweets before he shut his page down he talks about being named the new Vice President of Island Def Jam:

“I wanna thank everyone at Island Records/DefJam for their faith in me and making me Executive Vice President of Island Records. Thank you to my team..my manager Mark Stewart & my attorney Aaron Rosenberg for getting this 1st step of a goal accomplished…”

And it was confirmed by the label themselves. Looks like a serious come up for him AND his girl Christina Milian she knew what she was doing…

Kanye West like gays and he doesn’t care. He is prepping to hit the road with Lady Gaga , which is set to be one of the biggest tours of the year. Both artist are international superstars, and have a phenominal following. Lady Gaga expressed this to Kanye before she agreed to the tour:

“I just want it to be clear before we decide to do this together: I’m gay. My music is gay. My show is gay. And I love that it’s gay. And I love my gay fans and they’re all going to be coming to our show. And it’s going to remain gay. I very much want to inject gay culture into the mainstream, It’s not an underground tool for me. It’s my whole life. So I always sort of joke the real motivation is to just turn the world gay.”

So I get the chance to hang out with Rihanna every now and then, now that she has moved to NYC for the summer currently finishing her 4th studio album yet to be titled and also currently taking acting classes for a new horror filmed that I believe is schedule to be released in mid 2010 or 2011 don’t quote me on that though. I don’t ever reveal my sources of how close I am or how I met any celebrity, unless if I am working for them and no, I do not work for her.

I just can’t understand how ridiculous paparazzi are when she is in town. Yes, I understand when you are a celebrity it comes with the territory, but there has to be limits. NYC has never really been a city known for paparazzi chasing celebs unlike L.A. who is infamous for that. But either these photographers are banking a lot of money off of there pictures to travel, or people are just selling out cause the recession has hit that hard and TMZ does not make it any better. These guys are on bikes, double parking their cars, ride on the side walk, run people over, knock babies over, kick strollers, you name it they do it all for a picture.

You would think they are football players or money is falling from the sky. The law really needs to step in and lay down the law before it gets any worst, also another prime example is what just happened to Jay-Z and Beyonce. Overseas on their vacation and just because the security guard was doing his job, protecting them, and making sure that they were enjoying themselves. At the time they did not want to take any pictures. The pops loose it and start throw objects and his camera trapezoid at the security guard, when is it going to end?

Beyonce and Lady Gaga lead the pack this year with 9 nominations each for MTV’s Video Music Awards the same catergories. With Gaga receiving much acclaim for her “Poker Face” video, and Beyonce with the obvious “Single Ladies” clip, these two will face off in just about every category that they’re nominated in, including “Video of the Year”.

“I’m not hating on young people. Like, when people say that, I’m like, What are you talking about? It’s just stupid. I’m not hating on young people… I’m not Bill Russell, [saying] Michael Jordan ain’t shit. I’m saying Lil Wayne and Kanye are like LeBron and Kobe. My job as someone at the forefront of the game is to leave it in a better position than when I came in. Same way that Russell [Simmons] left it to me. ’Cause this thing saved my life. Literally. So I have a responsibility to it karmically. And after that it’s on you. I did my part. I made ‘D.O.A.’ I said it. I made the statement. I made the push. Here, y’all take it from here.”

HIS STANDING IN THE GAME

“But when I say I’m the best, I don’t say that outta my ass. I say that with all my stats behind me. I put that against anybody. I mean anybody. I really believe that… I believe in a lot of things. 
I believe that ‘SportsCenter’ is the best thing on TV. I shouldn’t have to prove it. But I do have these stats to prove it. I’m talking about real run. I’m not talking about years off. I’m talking about straight—boom, boom, boom—back to back. We’re not talking about heritage acts either. We’re not talking about respect what I’ve done. I’m talking No. 1 [albums] 10 times. The Beatles is the only one [to have more 
No. 1 albums]. They got 19, and if I get a surge of creativity, I could make nine albums next year.”
