Skincare Routine

After years and years of acne, seeing dermatologists and trying various over the counter products, I finally found what works best for my skin. Clinique's 3-Step Skincare system! They offer a wide array of products for different skin types. My skin is combination oily so I use the following products from the type 3 line:

Step 1: Cleanse
Facial Bar Soap with Dish (Oily Skin Formula)- This also comes in a liquid but the bar lasts so much longer.


Step 2: Exfoliate
Clarifying Lotion 3- This one is for "Combination Oily" skin.

Step 3: Moisturize
Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel- This comes in a gel AND lotion. The lotion is for people that have very dry to dry skin.

Beyonce Shut Down the Superdome

Well folks....there you have it! Songstress Beyonce once again made her presence but this time left a lasting impression.

Mrs. Carter performed a compilation of hits such as "End of Time," "Baby Boy" and everyone's favorite "Single Ladies" during this years Super Bowl halftime show at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. She also surprised us with an appearance from Destiny's Child.

Then, as a couple minutes rolled into the 3rd quarter parts of the stadium went dark. People are saying since her performance required so much power, it created the outage. After approximately 34 minutes, power was restored.

Kris Jenner to Have Talk Show

Our Kardashian TV mommy Kris Jenner is set to come out with her own TV talk show this summer. It will test run for six weeks on Fox owned stations in select markets. As with many talk shows, this one will have celebrity interviews, talks about fashion and beauty, and a host of other things. When a new show comes out I always like to see the first episode, just to get a feel for what is going on. After that, I decide if it’s a staple in my line up or not. Will you tune in?

Chris Brown and Frank Ocean Brawl??

 

Supposedly, this past Sunday R&B artists Chris Brown and Frank Ocean got into a physical altercation over a parking space. In a tweet Ocean explains, "cut my finger now I can't play w(ith) two hands at the grammys." Information on what exactly happened is still circulating. And yes, Brown is still on probation for assaulting his then girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. So if this in fact is true, Brown will have a bit of explaining to do!

Nicki Minaj on American Idol: Love It or Hate It?

 

I'm not really a fan of the singing competition shows but I had to tune in to the premiere of American Idol: Season 12 this past Wednesday. The media really blew up the supposed feud between songstress Mariah Carey and Young Money's own Nicki Minaj. From what I watched, they have squabbles here and there. I think when Carey discusses her experience in the business Minaj maybe gets tired of hearing it over and over again? Not sure, but it's really nothing crazy. And also, I came across an article about the fans. A lot of people refuse to tune in because Minaj is a judge. They say her flamboyant hair and outfits take away from the contestants. What do you think?

Justin Timberlake Makes a Come Back

After being away for quite some time, our singing heartthrob is back on the scene! Earlier this week, Justin Timberlake released his new single "Suit and Tie, FT Jay-Z," off his anticipated new album The 20/20 Experience. When you sit and think about it, Timberlake hasn't released a song since his 2006 album, FutureSex/LoveSounds. I still have that album on rotation in my playlist and can't wait to add this new one. On his website, he posted an "open letter to the fans" stating his rekindled interest in music and that 2013 is going to be a big year.

Lance Armstrong to Appear on OWN Tonight

For the last couple of weeks, this interview special has been all over the media. World renowned cyclist Lance Armstrong is allegedly going to come clean about his drug use allegations in a one-on-one two part interview with Oprah Winfrey.

He has been stripped of many accolades including a bronze medal won at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Do you believe Armstrong owes the nation an explanation and apology? Tune in tonight at 9pm ET for the first part of this 90 minute special.
