“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”


I've shared so much with you all, so its only natural for me to share this with you as well...

I lost my dad this morning...

My dad was a man of great achievement, strength, confidence and pride. He encouraged everyone in our family to go boldy in the direction of their dreams and to be nothing but the best. My dad was the most influential person in my life.


My family and I are managing well but would like to take this time to reflect on his amazing life, think about next steps and talk to him, because we know he's listening...

I will be back soon

Relationships: Do you believe in life long BFFs?

16 Women have something to say Links to this post

I've been thinking a lot about friends, true friendships and weather strong life long friends really exist... I've had friends that I've had for over a decade and people that have come into my life for just a short period of time...

I see people like Oprah and Gayle and I think WOW, that's amazing that they've been BFFs for so long... why do you think that they've lasted as long as they have?? Do you think that their friendship is real?? What kind of tolerance do you need for a friendship to last that long and what kind of space do you need to keep between each other if any at all??

I can only speak for myself by saying that I can count my core unit of friends on one hand and I can't guarantee that we will be friends forever... People come into your life for different reasons and lengths of time...

And this isn't to be confused with people that come into your life, then throw you under the bus... those relationships end for obvious reasons. I am talking about close friends that eventually drift away for one reason or another.

Ladies (and gents), I'd love to know your thoughts on this one... Do true BFFs really exist??

Beauty: WWW recommends Dove Spa!!

0 Women have something to say Links to this post
Testing out new things and sharing them with you guys is what I love most about my job and you already know that I love going to the Spa, so when Allison and I had the opportunity to check out Dove Spa's Toronto Location, we jumped at the opportunity!

The girls were kind enough to give me a tour of their beautiful location, then I changed into my Dove Spa Robe and flip flops!
<span class=

I received the OM treatment, which is a full body exfoliation and wrap treatment that leaves your skin feeling like buttah!! Then after the exfoliating treatment you take a steam shower and get a 30 minute massage! OMG it was heavenly!
<span class=

WWW does Dove Spa! from Shannae Ingleton on Vimeo.


PS - We were listening to Top 40 in the background because they give you a choice of Aroma Therapy music, Jazz and R&B or Todays hits... I chose Todays hits! Duhhh!! lol

And then it was time to go and they left me with a Delicious rose water green tea and Dove Spa Goodies!
<span class=

Thank you to Kayla and the Dove Spa Team for giving me an amazing day!!

And don't forget to read about Allison's day here:

"Now every woman needs a spa day in her life. I recently visited Dove Spa in Toronto and had a Holistic Thay treatment called Om. They started off with an invigorating body scrub infused with essential oils like lavender (one of my favs) and then gave me a algae mud wrap. After I showered myself clean I enjoyed a full body massage (AMAZING!!).

Dove spa has over 30 locations in Europe and Spain, but only has two locations in Canada and they are right here in Ontario (Toronto and Oakville) so we're exclusive and I highly recommend it."

Kate Gosselin's & Whoopi's custody debate... thoughts??

4 Women have something to say Links to this post


In the beginning of the public Jon and Kate Battle, I felt like Kate nagged the hell out of Jon and caused him to leave her... I still feel the same way, but based on what I've seen since then, I think that Jon is a Douche Bag and there is no reason why she shouldn't be able to be "The Babysitter" in Jon's absence.... And for Jon to call the cops on her??? No Bueno Papi!!

Ladies, what are your thoughts??? I do think that she needs to get used to the fact that her and Jon are no longer together, the terms of their engagement have changed and she should just let some things go, but right now I'm Team Kate!!

And her new hairstyle looks great!!

Name: Tyra Banks

Age: 35

Zodiac: Saggitarius

Tyra said: "Self-love has very little to do with how you feel about your outer self. It's about accepting all of yourself. You've got to learn to accept the fool in you as well as the part that's got it goin' on."

I say: I am happy that I read this quote from Tyra. There are weird things about me, ghetto things about me, ugly things about me etc. etc. etc. that I waist a lot of time trying to hide from others. I'm not saying that I should just unleash the dragon on everyone and show everyone all of my dimensions and layers without restraint --- I'm not DUMB! LOL... But I am saying that when those sides of me emerge, I should own them, accept them and be proud of them, because its who I am and I should never be ashamed of that. And equally important is the fact that how people treat you is largely a reflection of how you treat and regard yourself.

Ya dig!! lol

WWW Career Tip: Avoid Public Primping...

3 Women have something to say Links to this post


Its been a while since we've given Career tips, so we are back at it again...

When was the last time you saw a man pull out a mirror and check his hair after lunch? How about playing with their hair or during a meeting? Even the thought of it is ridiculous. Right? No matter how discreet you think you're being, grooming in public is noticed and mentally logged by those around you. Public Primping emphasizes your femininity and detracts from your credibility.

Tips:

- Never comb your hair or apply lipstick in public. If you can't resist, excuse yourself and go to the ladies room

- If you go to the ladies room to primp, keep it quick.

- If you see your reflection in a mirror or glassy surface and notice something wrong, avoid the inclination to fix it there. Wait until you can do so in private.

- Avoid touching your hair unnecessarily. Its not a good look!! lol

This is something that I do more often than I should, but I'm working on it!!

I got this career tip from Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office - If you don't have this book you should get it!!

America's Next Top Model Cycle 13 Episode 3 RECAP!

2 Women have something to say Links to this post


The episode starts with Bianca in confessional and she was sharing her thoughts about being placed in the bottom two. I was glad because she was able to admit that she landed there mostly because of her mouth and she promised herself to just keep it shut!

They also show Courtney deciding to truck it out and walk on her broken foot without her boot which later on proves to back fire. She was hoping that it would show as a display of determination and instead it came off as ignorance.

The girls go to Wilhelmina modeling agency and meet up with Nigel Barker and Sean Patterson, who is a recruitment agent, to do an interview with them.

Lulu was first up but when she was asked who her favorite fashion photographer was she had no clue about a photographer.
Courtney bopped on her broken foot and pulled off a fairly good runway walk.
Bianca was criticized for the short cut because it is not so easily workable.
Rachel was unable to perform a song off the top of her head and she says she’s a singer and performer.

The interviews were done and it’s announced that not only is this not a challenge like they were expecting but that someone is getting cut right then and there because that person just didn’t have what it takes to make it in the industry. Due to her lack of confidence and charisma Rachel was cut (I guess the cooky eyes didn’t cut it ).



The next day the girls are called to the real challenge they got into the room and there was a photographer there. He was looking for the perfect shot in one shot none of the girls were able to deliver… or so they thought… on stumbles Tyra onto the set and the photographer just continued to chop her up and when she couldn’t take any more out came Super smize ???? huh?? OH! Super "smile with your eyes." what happend next I cannot quite describe but Tyra went through a cram session with the girls and taught them all she know about smizing.

For the challenge the girls had to wear ninja suits and they had to smize… They battled against each other and the winning team was awarded a dinner with Sean Patterson to get some of his priceless advise. The winning team was also awarded Melisa Massey dresses while the losing team had to wear waitresses outfits and at the dinner and stayed in the kitchen cleaning dishes.
….

The girls are then scheduled to have a sea biscuit inspired fashion shoot and it looks like it’s going to be smizetastic! The girls have to smize, do it naked, and do it mounted on a horse.

Rae is up first and does a good job
Jennifer has trouble with the horse and her smize; she’s unable to tame either of them.
Britney looked absolutely gorge
Ashley was a bit tense
Erin Looked like girl interrupted to me.. very intense
Courtney, who reminds me of a toned down Eva, really wanted to stick with heels and due to her frustration she was unable to deliver.
Bianca with blond hair = Rupaul... they even said that Isis (the transgendered girl from last season) was more feminine.
Sundai rocked out her shoot.

The results are in and Tyra introduces Lauren Conrad as today’s guest judge.

Britney looked like she was floating on the horse and she H-2-t'd it (meaning she modelled from head to toe)
Cara’s shot didn’t not have any smize
Ashley got her final shot out of the test shots and it was a bad thing
Jennifer has to learn how to work out the lazy eye
Lulu pulled off the smize with coy confidence
Bianca looks like Rupaul... STILL
Laura looked like a young Angelena Jolie always brining high fashion with her (no country bunkin in site)
Sundai looks so cute (to me)
Rae straddles the ponylike she was swimming and looked good
Nicole looked like a pro
Erin was very intense
Courtney was just sitting there and in judgment she admitted she gave up... SMH


After the judges deliberate they give Erin the best photo of the week and Bianca and Courtney land in the bottom two (I must admit I had my fingers crossed for Bianca to go home) but they gave Bianca a third chance and sent Courtney packing.

That was it for this weeks episode.

Until next week

Love Afrykah xoxo!

Chanel Iman, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn and Arlenis Sosa are definitely PYT’s and the ideal choices for this I-D Magazine editorial feature.

Growing up, I seldom saw many magazines that featured black models in editorial spreads. It feels somewhat empowering to see not one, but four young black models making a name for themselves in the fashion industry!






Shout out to Kanye for featuring the whole editorial spread on his blog too! www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog

Shakira's words...

0 Women have something to say Links to this post

Name: Shakira

Age: 32

Zodiac: Aquarius!!!!

Shakira said: "I admire Madonna because she always did whatever she felt like doing. She went through some controversial periods when people rejected her, but she kept on reinventing herself."

I say: I am born on the cusp of Pisces and Aquarius (Feb. 19th) and I honestly harbour an almost equal amount of traits from each sign (Pisces has a slight lead)... But the point that I am trying to make is that the Pisces in me keeps me dreaming and living in the clouds a lot (which is great for brainstorming and conceptualizing), but sometimes I just have to do things and not apologize! Anyhow, my dream is to be bangin and keep re-inventing myself just like Miss Shakira and her idol Madonna... R u with me???

PS - How AMAZING does she look in that video below? **grabs yoga mat and inserts Yoga Mind & Body **

Taylor Swift speaks...

1 Women have something to say Links to this post



Whether or not Taylor deserved that award, she DID NOT deserve that embarrassment!

This young girl has been raise so very well! Every time I have heard her speak, or read an interview regarding the 'incident' she kept her Southern politeness!

The damage has been done - more so to Kanye himself but, in the same breathe, I hope he does apologize to this sweet young lady. To be a dream crusher is the worse type of person you can be in my opinion! To do that to a child... Thinking that could possibly by my baby up there brings me to tears. The same way it brought him to tears when asked how his mother would have felt.

Shame on you Kanye! I believe you have learnt your lesson.

WWW's Review of TIFF showing of Precious...

2 Women have something to say Links to this post

Me and my girls Nebby and Yvonne went to see TIFF's presentation of Precious last Monday and boy was it ever a moving film... For those that don't know about Precious, kindly watch the trailer below and you can get a lil summary on the post that we did a few months back...

In any event, I would highly recommend that you go out and see the film when it is released in November -- It made me realize how selfish I can be and it helped me put a lot of things into perspective... But beware, it deals with some really offensive subject matter... Take a look at our video below to watch the Q&A that we had with the Director Lee Daniels as well as our own personal reviews of the movie...

WWW & Friends see the TIFFs presentation of Prescious! from Shannae Ingleton on Vimeo.


Peep us in the Theatre... It was packed!! lol
