More than a 'Charm School' Judge
Surprise, surprise the author is Mikki Taylor, the Beauty Director and Cover Editor of ESSENCE Magazine. And now one of the judges of our beloved ' Charm School' on VH1 . I love to read Essence Magazine. Mikki 's articles are super. She gives wonderful beauty tips and advice. It's isn't always about the exterior either. VH-1 put the 'Flavor of Love' ladies in excellent hands.
Germany and I discuss certain colors which I want to buy. Of course they didn't necessarily enhance what God's given me.... LOL. In spite of me loving crazy colors ...I listened to the expert and allow her to try the colors that enhance Shawn's sexy. As Germany applies this and that ...she continues to share the information from 'Self Seduction: Your Ultimate Pate to Inner and Outer Beauty'. I would share our conversation but it drifted into sex talk. Shawn can get deep into some sex talk. It's time for a break ...so I am off to purchase the eye shadows I tried on earlier and Mikki Taylor's book. I'll leave you all with words from the publisher.
From The Publisher:Like a best friend, Self-Seduction: Your Ultimate Path to Inner and Outer Beauty offers the most practical and timeless information to inform, simplify, and move your life forward in ways you never dreamed of. Here is a new-life resolution, full of important lessons to help you celebrate your beauty to the fullest. Self-Seduction explores the balance between spiritual and physical nourishment that is the key to true beauty—and features women whose beauty mirrors their own…all shades, shapes, and sizes. From beginning to end, the book moves beyond the mechanics of how do I look?—and teaches sisters to purposely love themselves in the highest order. At last, here is the blueprint that allows women to move themselves to the top of their to-do lists and endorses the principle that quality time with oneself is not an option, or a luxury, nor anything to feel guilty about, but an essential form of self-renewal. Self-Seduction puts you in touch with a pantheon of women, in and out of the spotlight—from Halle Berry and Vanessa L. Williams to Erykah Badu, Patti LaBelle, and Iman—who share candid insights on how they nurture their inner and outer beauty, and serve up great style day in and day out. They are joined by everyday women who have what author Mikki Taylor calls celebrité (such as eighty-two-year-old body builder Morjorie Newlin); women who give new dimension to what it means to live an empowered life. In addition, you'll also find anecdotes, methods, and solution-oriented philosophies from the top experts—including psychologists, naturopathic doctors, nutritionists, dermatologists, personal trainers, hairstylists, and makeup artists—to help guide you on your path and insure that you realize all the joys of your desires. Self-Seduction will:
Show you the joys of being affirmed, fulfilled, and fabulous
Help you define beauty for yourself
Teach you to avoid the diet-driven, dress-size syndrome and identify a winning formula
Reveal how to achieve clear, radiant skin so you can put your best face forward
Taylor, who is passionate about beauty, also shares tried-and-true techniques to help you enjoy makeup on your own terms and close the gap between the hair you desire and the hair you possess. All in all, Self-Seduction is a journey every sister will want to embark upon, as it is the one that leads home.
You buy her book at a local book store near you. Make sure you check out Mikki Taylor, on VH-1's 'Charm School' on Sundays @ 9pm.
