On Monday May 7th, rapper and pop culture sensation Cardi B dazzled the red carpet rocking KISS Lash Couture's NEW Triple Push-Up Collection created by celebrity makeup artist Erika La Pearl for the annual MET Gala.

For the red carpet, Erika created an elegant eye look, a black and purple cut crease, which she underscored with the new KISS Lash Couture Triple Push Up lashes in Teddy. To play up Cardi’s eyes even further, Erika curled her lashes with an eyelash curler, and used KISS Lash Couture Strip Lash Adhesive in Black along the lash band. “I really wanted to create a beautiful, standout cat eye for Cardi’s first Met Gala, and I loved the way KISS’ new Triple Push Up lashes made her eyes look,” says Erika.

NEW KISS Lash Couture, Triple Push-Up Collection is inspired by Elizabeth Taylor’s iconic double-layered lashes, a rare quality that led her to be famous for having the most beautiful eyes in the world! Add to that KISS Triple Design Technology, and you’ve got the most innovative lashes, with a remarkable high impact effect.

Products:

KISS Lash Couture Triple Push-Up Single Pack ($6.99/ULTA)

Happy Spring Yall, I'm so happy to share that Fogo de Chão, has launched a light and refreshing seasonal menu that features nutritious recipes and bright cocktails sure to put everyone in the mood for warmer weather. From a nutritious gluten-free salad and vegetarian soup to Brazilian-inspired beverages, new spring selections are now available at all Fogo locations nationwide for a limited time.

“Seasonality plays a significant role at Fogo, just as it does in the open air markets and farm tables of Southern Brazil,” said Larry Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Fogo de Chão. “Over the last few months, our award-winning culinary team has been hard at work crafting craveable, new menu offerings full of fresh ingredients that we know our guests will enjoy this spring.”

A selection of Fogo’s new seasonal items include:

· Ancient Grain Salad – This gluten-free recipe features a powerhouse of superfoods, including quinoa, chia seeds, toasted kasha and wild rice with diced apples, pomegranate and oranges all tossed in a house-made citrus vinaigrette.

· Asparagus and Spring Pea Salad – Fresh asparagus, spring peas and arugula are tossed with goat cheese, lemon zest and herb vinaigrette and then topped with fresh cracked pepper for a refreshing bite.

· Sweet Pea and Asparagus Soup – This vibrant vegetarian soup is made with sweet spring peas, asparagus and a blend of parmesan, cream and fresh ground black pepper.

· Smoke & Honey – Monkey Shoulder Whisky and peaty Glenmorangie Original are combined with honeyed ginger and lemon for a smoky take on a classic sour.

· Guava Do Sul – Belvedere Vodka is shaken with guava puree and fresh lemon, then topped with La Marca Prosecco to create a crisp and sparkling cocktail.

· Andean Punch – Fresh strawberries are muddled with guava and mint, then topped with sparkling soda for a refreshing non-alcoholic treat.

On Sunday March 25th, I had the pleasure of checking out some of the new items at the Fogo De Chão in Dunwoody -- This was my first time at the restaurant so I didn't know what to expect and I'm happy to say it was an amazing experience I went in the afternoon at 2:30 and it wasn't really crowded which was perfect my server was everything she educated me on the Fogo De Chão culture and the rundown so I had to try the Guava Do Sul cocktail which was perfection then I headed to the market table to get my greens, the servers come around to serve the meats and they have a cool green light/red light system to let them know when are ready for more or to stop. If you are in the mood to try a new dining experience be sure to add them to your list!

March has been the ultimate self-care month for me -- I've been off of social media and really shutting out all of the clutter to focus on my well-being and thanks to the great people at Massage Heights I was able to come back for another facial and it was right on time. Last year I loved my microdermabrasion facial [click here] if you missed it -- So on my recent visit on March 23, I tried some new elevations along with a little microdermabrasion as well. I added in the Skin Refining which eliminates acne causing bacteria, stimulates circulation, and helps oxygenate the skin and the Skin Purifying which is great during pollen season this treatment promotes deep cleansing by loosening cellular blockages and increasing the skin’s natural function to remove waste products and slough off unhealthy skin. After the facial my skin had an immediate glow and was super soft. Overall I am super happy and felt extremely relaxed. Massage Heights is definitely the place to check out for Facial, Massages and more.
