The Season for Black Girl Magic

blackgirlmagic

Summer is coming to an end and fall is fast approaching.  As we move into the fall season it is also a time to look at all of the wonderful collaborations and products being added to the market my African American females.  Here is just a snap shot of what is coming.  Check back this week as I go into more detailed on each of the items highlighted here.

Entertainment

I recently read an article about a new Sex and the Cityesque show by for an about African women.  The YouTube show An African City is just that.  A refreshing take on the adventures and misadventures of single professional African women navigating dating, relationships, careers and friendships.  Much like the Sex and the City series, all of the main characters are single, professional women and their collective experiences in the world of dating and relationships.  It is a show I would recommend.

Fashion

On the fashion front, there is the company Nubian Skin, which specializes in underwear and hosiery in our colors of the rainbow.  Their shades are specifically geared toward skin tones for women of color which is refreshing since it can be difficult to find nudes or neutral shades that are a good match to ethnic skin-tones.  Their latest addition is sleepwear, another great addiction from this awesome and affordable line of hosiery and lingerie.

If you enjoy makeup as much as I do and I loooove makeup then this next collaboration will be just as exciting for you as it was for me.  Taraji P. Henson has collaborated with MAC to create a line of makeup that will be on sale September 6, 2016 (just in time for my birthday).  This collaboration will be a six piece collection which will include mascara, skin finish and lipstick.

Groupon Greatness

This is a sponsored post.  All opinions are my own.

I am sure that everyone has heard of or used the Groupon.  Whether you have the app downloaded on your phone or tablet or whether you have the app set to update you when there is a sale on travel or other specific things you enjoy.  Whatever your reason for utilizing the Groupon app, there is some greatness to be found within the site.

Recently, while doing some housework, my vacuum cleaner began to make a strange noise.  Realizing that the machine may have outlived its usefulness, I was able to go to Groupon and search my options for replacements.  While everyone may not be in the market for a new vacuum, for those like me who find themselves there Groupon has you covered.  The Groupon Goods section provided an extensive list of machines, prices and specs that made my search for a new machine easy and manageable from home.

Groupon provided me the opportunity to shop from the comfort of my own home and to comparison shop without spending hours in the store lifting, bending and reading boxes in order to determine which machine was the right one for me.  This was a great help and a great service provided by Groupon.

So while you may not be in the market for a new vacuum cleaner, there may be something else you are in need of and I am sure that Groupon can help you find the items you want while also providing competitive pricing.  Groupon also delivers to your door so with that added convenience, you can never go wrong with Groupon.  Happy Shopping!
