P&G beauty, photo shoot essentials, looking fly on a dime style blogWell, the above is a bit deceiving. I'm not exactly gracing anyone's red carpet {just yet!}, but I do have to occasionally get glammed up for TV segments and photo shoots for my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge. Though paparazzi may not be snapping my pics or yours, it's important to have a killer beauty routine to go with any style.

And since everything I do is on a budget, that's where P&G Beauty products come in. You know their brands: Olay, Pantene, COVERGirl, Secret, etc. Instead of dropping major cash on department store beauty buys, P&G keeps me covered before, during and after I need to get glammed up or anytime I'm ready to have all eyes on me.

top moments at essence music fest

If you're not familiar with Essence Music Festival or you've never attended the 3-day event, you should change that ASAP. The New Orleans based festival has been going down for 19 years and by day it's home to empowering seminars and by night, features some of the world's top musical acts.I had the pleasure of attending EMF last week {my second year in a row} and in between hosting my Best Dressed Madame event and stuffing my face {try the chargrilled oysters at  Acme Oyster House and share a platter of fried seafood at Deanie's}, I took in shows, a few events and even got in a bit of shopping. Take a peek at my top 5 Essence Fest moments, including stellar performances that blew me away and how I scored a unique purse for just $20.
