Finding Inspiration at @TrueIndianHair’s TrueBeautyBrunch

On Sunday, May 6th, we attended True Indian Hair‘s 2nd Annual Beauty Brunch at their showroom in midtown Manhattan. Before we arrived, we had a pretty good feeling that we would be surrounded by beautiful people discussing hair and beauty. What we did not know is that we would leave the brunch extremely motivated, encouraged, inspired, and in awe of all of the success and sickening beauty we were engulfed in during our time there!

TrueBeautyBrunchLet me educate you all a bit about the True Indian Hair brand and why it is such a fabulous company.

Founded in 2005 by Karen Mitchell (who is gorgeous!), the True Indian Hair (TIH) Franchise is a company that connects “image-conscious career women with easy-to-care for luxury extensions.” Mitchell, who was such a gracious hostess at the Beauty Brunch, started TIH after leaving her position as a production manager at Aeropostale, and since then TIH has become a force in the hair/beauty industry with features in major publications as well as keeping all of the trendy celebs’ hair laid for the gods! While you sit around admiring Cassie, Kelly Rowland, the Queen Bee Lil Kim, and others, remember that Karen Mitchell and her team hooked those ladies up!

Butch Diva Needs a Store

Pow! Chaos! Spandex!

If you haven’t seen a Butch Diva design these words would make no sense to you, but if you have then I know you understand. Bright colors, stimulating patterns, and a lot of personality can’t even begin to sum up the designs of this Brooklyn based designer. Butch Diva is created for those with large and confident personalities. Timid neutral folks, step aside! Those who avoid being impossibly sexy, step aside! We had the pleasure of joining Tiffany Rhodes (Boss Lady aka designer) for a sample sale on April 28th, where she launched her new campaign. The designer hopes to raise the funds to move from her showroom to opening up her first store!  As avid supporters of  this brand and lifestyle, we are asking that you take the time to check the site out ->  www.butchdiva.com! Do your homework. We know you will fall in love, and support her, too. We are huge fans of Tiffany here at Le Femme Flaneur. Look out for pics of E-Gunna rocking some original Butch Diva swim wear on our trip to Jamaica in June (shameless plug).

My Relationship with TED.

When I get home from work, the gym, or dinner and I cannot think of anything to do, I watch TED talks. I watch them because they make me think critically, they inspire me, and one day LB and I will be giving a TED talk (or two) and I want to make sure we don’t repeat anything that has already been said.

Because I think that you all should stop watching the idiot box and start feeding your mind with thought-provoking mental nutrition, I have curated a short list of some of the TED talks that I have enjoyed. Of course I have been inspired by a ton more, but baby steps. I’ve got to wean y’all off of “Basketball Wives” as to not send you into shock.

Feel free to watch one or all of these videos. The titles are hyperlinked and will open up in a new page, so that you have no reason to leave Le Femme Flaneur.
