beauty

One thing that you should learn about me is I absolutely love hair. It has been a passion of mine for well over 20 years and as a licensed cosmetologist and salon owner you can kind of see how much I love it. One of the things that fuel my passion for hair is that I’m able to find new and innovative ways to share hair tips and hair secrets. One of the things that I specialize in at my hair salon is hair extensions in hair weaves. So when I came across this Outre Ashani wig I was immediately intrigued.

Today I’m going to be sharing with you a quick and easy way to achieve the perfect quick weave hairstyle. If you are not up on all of the hair trends currently on the market. The hottest hair trend right now is headband wigs. These are essentially half wigs or weaves that we make look natural. By applying a headband of our choice and changing the headband to accommodate the outfit of the day or to change up the hairstyle. I’m going to show you how I turned this $15 wig into a 10-minute hairstyle. Anyone can achieve and it’s perfect for any woman on the go. 

Speaking of trends, make sure you check out my previous post where I shared some of my favorite fall fashion trends. They would look beautiful with your new hairstyle. I mean, hey. Start your 2021 level up today.

My New Boxing Gloves By Ruckus: Review

Why Boxing Gloves

I’ve always wanted to try boxing as a sport. I remember getting my first gym member at Gold’s. At the time I was training for my first fitness competition and this required two workouts per day. The first was early mornings at 6 am. I walked into the gym and seen all these women sparring. I was looking around in amazement. Breast and boxing gloves. It was like candy land in there and I wasn’t the only one who thought so. There was a crowd of men watching through the glass doors as these women took this boxing class and punching each other. No one was getting hurt. But that workout glass was on my mind the entire day. Years later I finally decided to add boxing to my workout routine. I found a local gym that offers afternoon workouts for beginners and signed up. In true Chimere form, I wanted some pretty and efficient boxing gloves. The emphasis on pretty lol. Ruckus the two color options I was looking for, white or pink. When you become a mom to tend to shy away from white. With this, the color pink won. I’m not saying I’m a professional boxer but I have been known to throw a pretty strong left hook. I’m just saying.

Throw combinations faster

The triple-foam, front-weighted impact distribution allows you to get better hand protection while keeping the glove weight to a minimum.

Add more pop to your punches

Boxing is all about angles. The precision angled glove lines up perfectly with the natural shape of a fist. This means when your Ruckus gloves make an impact with the bag or punch mitts, you’ll hear that ever-so-satisfying “pop!”

Avoid stinky hands

Don’t get a rep for being the stinky person in class. Our gloves are strategically ventilated to keep your gloves aired out, while still maintaining the same solid structure used in professional boxing gloves.

The sharpest fitting gloves you will ever wear

We made a pointed effort to design gloves that fit the natural shape of a fist perfectly and hug your hand for a “fight-night ready” look and feel.

Notice how pro fighters have a tight, stubby look to their gloves? Then the gym or workout class is riddled with big, puffy, awkward looking ones. We went with the pro, tight, stubby look. When you unbox our gloves, you’ll notice the difference.

Doing It Myself

Being a busy wife, entrepreneur, and content creator sometimes collaborating with other creators like myself is very hard. Creating new and exciting content for my various social media platforms is often time-consuming and difficult to shoot. One of the ways I’ve been able to maximize my time and efforts have been to shoot a lot of content myself. I have learned over the years how to master taking my own photographs for my blog as well as shooting my own videos. Today I’m going to show you how I use my tripod and Bluetooth remote to shoot beautiful blog photos as well as how I create content for my Instagram.

Remote Tripod On The Go

While browsing on Amazon I came across a device that I knew would make taking my own photographs so much easier. It is a wireless Bluetooth remote that is connected to a phone tripod. This allows me to take my photos at the drop of a dime as well as create beautiful photography on the go. My friends laugh because oftentimes we will be driving to lunch or the mall and I will stop in the middle of the road if I see a beautiful backdrop that I feel would be a great photo opportunity.
