A Diva State of Mind

Last year, I gave my first style presentation and this year I’ve been blessed with more opportunities to talk about fashion and style! I am one of the featured guest speakers for the FEM-POWER MOVEMENT The Love Your Life Tour DC!

Hosted by Kenesha Williams of Fem-Power Movement, this two hour event will feature a continental breakfast, the opportunity to network and learn how to tap into their personal power through relationships, style and finances.

I’m really excited to be apart of this event, so I thought we’d have some fun with a giveaway. One lucky winner will receive what I like to call a “prize pack.” The winner will receive the following:

• One (1) Complimentary Ticket
• One copy of the book Words from A Wanderer by Alex Elle (she’ll be discussing relationships at the event)
• An Oyin Handmade product pack
• 15% off of a styling session with me (just in time for spring)!

To enter the giveaway, complete the widget below. 

Ticket can purchased here. Early bird tickets are $25. General admission tickets $35.

This movie ticket giveaway is for all of the romantic comedy movie lovers!

Love is brewing as One Village Entertainment serves up a strong cast in the official theatrical release of BLACK COFFEE. The film, which releases January 10, in AMC theaters in Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago and Washington D.C., stars Lamman Rucker (WHY DID I GET MARRIED?), Erica Hubbard (LET’S STAY TOGETHER), Darrin Dewitt Henson (STOMP THE YARD), Gabrielle Dennis (THE GAME) and Christian Keyes (LET’S STAY TOGETHER).

Robert (Henson) picked the wrong time to meet his soul mate!  After being fired from his own father’s company, he feels like his luck has run out – until Morgan (Gabrielle Dennis) enters into his life.  Just as things start to heat up between them, trouble brews as Morgan’s ex-husband (Lamman Rucker) vows to get her back and Robert’s gold-digging ex-girlfriend (Erica Hubbard) returns with an agenda of her own. With the help of his cousin (Christian Keyes), Robert’s about to find out how much good can come out of a bad situation in this charming romantic comedy that’s good to the last drop.

I’m giving away a pair of tickets to see the movie in Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD.

Thank you all for entering the AiKan Bijoux giveaway for a chance to win the all black bracelet set.

The winner of the giveaway is…

Congratulations Khalilah! You will receive an email from me in the next 24 hours.

For those that didn’t win, no worries.  There’s still time left to enter the giveaway to win a hair/body products gift basket from Endless Touch. Click HERE to enter!

Last month I received an email from AíKan Bijoux to review a bracelet set from their couture jewelry collection. Of course I agreed to do a review; what girl wouldn’t want to review jewelry?!

When I opened the box from AíKan Bijoux, my first reaction to the black bracelet set was “this is cute!”  The bracelet set is from the Knight Collection and features black faceted cut stones that create a shimmer effect with rhinestones and charms.  One bracelet features the word LOVE, a message we could all use right now.

Because the bracelet set is all black, it can be worn in both a casual and formal environment.   I can easily wear this set to to work, on the weekend to brunch or with a cocktail dress for an evening event.  I received the set right on time; the bracelets went perfect with an outfit I wore to a holiday party Saturday night.

The collection boats 100% genuine agate gemstones. Each hand crafted bracelet is custom made in the USA.  All bracelets are made with durable stretch material, eliminating the need for a clasp, so they’ll fit most wrist.  However, AíKan Bijoux does offer custom sizing if necessary.

I look forward to wearing my new bracelet set again and one lucky reader will get a chance to enjoy the same set too!

If you’d like a chance to win the black bracelet set above, follow these simple steps:

1. Like A Diva State of Mind and AíKan Bijoux on Facebook.

2. Leave a comment below letting me know you liked both pages

The giveaway ends on Friday, December 21, 2012 at 11:59pm.  I want to make sure you receive the set by next week just in time to wear for the new year!

Good luck!

It may be summertime, but it’s not too late to get it right and tight!! Personally when it comes to working out, I like to switch things up. I’m not that type that can go to the gym a couple times a week. I get bored!
