Last Holiday

Jingle All The Way

Starring Queen Latifah in this remake of the Alec Guinness classic. The movie tells a story of the introverted cook loving Georgia Bird. One day, after a head bumping run in with her crush played by L.L Cool J, she is diagnosed with an incurable disease and has a short time left to live. She decides to leave her quiet life behind and heads off to Europe where she learns how to live life to the fullest. This film will inspire you to do the same.

The 90s had some awesome films and then some. Despite this film receiving backlash for its perspective on consumerism, Jingle All The Way is still an entertaining family comedy since its debut. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad (ya’ll remember him, right !?) as two stressed out fathers battling out to buy a popular toy for their respective kids on Christmas Eve.

Here’s a film that came out more recently for you guys that I’m sure you will love. If you are a fan of the 1999 flick The Best Man, you may love this sequel about a group of friends reuniting over the holidays. Of course, drama is bound to occur but there is still room for some holiday cheer. It features an all-star cast which includes Taye Diggs, Terrance Howard, Nia Long, and Regina Hall reprising their old roles.

A Diva’s Christmas Carol “A Christmas Carol” is a timeless classic many people enjoy. So what happens when you give it a modern musical twist? You get a funny retelling about a diva getting a strong dose of a much-needed reality check. Vanessa Williams stars as Ebony Scrooge in this flick that turned out to be one of VH1’s greatest gems. I highly recommend you give this one a shot.

This Christmas

To finish up this list, I’m including this little musical rom-com starring Idris Elba, Chris Brown, and Regina King. The plot focuses on the Whitfield Family reuniting on the Christmas for the first time in four years. This film is a little-underrated gem that can surely surprise you with its slapstick humor, warmth, and a downright good soundtrack.

Coconut oil is the G.O.A.T of all oils. There are a million in one ways to use the oil, from a moisturizer for your hair, face, & body to a makeup remover, energy booster, and a host of food, medicinal and even household uses. They say when your life is falling apart, just pour some coconut oil on it. Yup, it’s really that life changing. Here are four ways interesting ways to use coconut oil as a part of your beauty routine.

Whitening Toothpaste We all desire to have a whiter smile, and a coconut oil DIY toothpaste will do just the trick. Coconut oil can be used in conjunction with baking soda, and a few drops of your favorite minty essential oil to make this easy natural toothpaste.

Another way to achieve a whiter smile with coconut oil is by oil pulling. Oil pulling is simply putting a tablespoon of oil in your mouth and swishing it around, just as you would a mouthwash. Oil pulling detoxifies and will improve your oral health by killing bad breath, reducing plaque + gingivitis and again, whitening your teeth.

Deodorant Ever give your antiperspirant stick a twist only to

find out that you have zero product left? Yes, it has happened to nearly everyone at some point in their lives. If you have a jar of coconut oil on deck, just slab a bit on your underarms and you’ll be good to go.

Because of the antibacterial properties found in the oil, it will fight against odor-causing bacteria.

Ladies, even go the extra mile with moisturizing with the oil between the “girls”, as most of us tend to sweat in this area. You’ll remain fresh with a hint of a tropical scent.

Shaving Cream I must admit that I was a bit skeptical when I heard that you can even use coconut oil as a shaving cream. I was so used to lathering up a cream that I thought the slippery oil was a recipe for nicks and cuts. But girl, was I surprised! After shaving my legs with coconut oil, I experienced the closet shave ever and my legs were smooth as silk. You can use this method in or out of the shower.

Highlighter If you don’t want to break the bank with purchasing expensive highlighters, save your coins and turn to the au naturale choice of coconut oil for your highlighting needs. You can mix a small amount in your foundation that will give you a dewy finish and exaggerate the highlights on your face, or dab a bit on your cheekbones for a natural glow and let your #blackgirlmagic shine through.

how our friendships and relationships have

hile we’re speeding towards the end

of the year, it seems as if last month, we were ringing in 2017. As we prepare ourselves for the holiday season and the coming of 2018, it’s time for us to reflect and renew. Everything is a learning experience, and I’m sure we all have a few memories we’d like to keep and others we’d like to discard. Before we archive the good and trash the bad, let’s reflect on our year and figure out ways to make 2018 our best yet.

either prospered or disappeared. Who have you lost? Who have you gained? When evaluating our lost relationships, we tend to have feelings of discouragement. Before holding on to those feelings, we must first decide whether the relationship was beneficial or harmful. If it was the latter, good riddance! If it was the first, then you can decide if and how you’ll take steps to repair the bond.

In the opposite form, we often look at new friendships or relationships in a positive light.

At the beginning of every year, many people make a resolution to “lose weight.” The actual goal should be to become healthier. While many of us are focused on the vanity aspect, our health matters more. Were you hoping to lose weight this year?

Were you hoping to get healthier? Did you meet

Similar to the lost relationships, we have to do inventory on these people! Do they make us feel good about ourselves or bad? Do they support our goals or talk us down from them? Surrounding ourselves with positive people is a must so as we finish off this year and prepare for a new one,

Instead of focusing on the concrete goal, focus on the path to get there. What did you do right? What did you do wrong?
