Instaweek 3.25.13

Happy Monday guys! It’s been a while since I posted my last Instaweek. If you guys are following me (@LoveBrownSugar on Instagram), you’ve probably noticed I’ve been super hyped about all the new products and launches for this upcoming spring. Here’s what I’m most excited about:

Cece’s Curls

Update! I’ve taken my Indique Hair extensions out and my ‘fro is back in full effect. I’m happy to see it’s been growing so beautifully, and beyond excited to try out some new curly products. Last week, I did a review of the Karen’s Body Beautiful collection (that giveaway is still going till Friday so make sure you enter!). This week I plan on trying out some new products from Eden Bodyworks and Anu Essentials. I’m such a product junkie…

Spring Fashion

I’m super excited to start back my On The Market series. I’ve been going to a myriad of Spring/Summer as well as Fall 2013 fashion previews over the past few weeks. I love previews because they give you a closer look at the collections, as opposed to the fashion shows. I previewed the ASOS Curve S/S 2013 collection which is to DIE for. And new UK retailer Boohoo.com has finally launched in the US! Super cute fashion at affordable prices, I highly recommend.

Start Saying “I Will”

Last week’s Monday Motivation was all about the power of saying “I will.” I’m obsessed with nail art, but up until now I assumed if you didn’t have nail appliques or an experienced nail artist in tow, you couldn’t do it. Well last week I tried out a bit of freehand nail design myself for my Style Play Polish: St. Patrick’s Day Edition and it turned out great! Small victory but it definitely empowered me to say “I will” in other areas of life. Take a few risks. The worst that can happen is that you fail. And even then, you just pick yourself up and start again!

Have an amazing week folks!
