AvocadoMargarita

Just in time for Cinco de Mayo on May 5, here are some ways to get in the spirit!

To make the perfect margarita, use three essential ingredients: Cointreau, tequila and lime juice! As the creator of the margarita, Margarita Sames always said, “A margarita without Cointreau is not worth its salt!” Cointreau’s orange zest delivers a rich sweetness to the margarita, without compromising its bitter and salty taste.

STYLE DIVAS: Kim Coles’ New Natural ‘Do — And New Man?

MIZANI_Kim Coles

Kim Coles, who rocked braids since her Living Single days, has taken her natural to a new level. The actress/comedienne and natural hair enthusiast hosted the MIZANI 2013 Hair Trend Collection “The Spoken Word,” at the L’Oreal Soho Academy last week rocking a majorly fierce ‘fro.

After years of maintaining her braided extensions, which she would freshen in sections on a weekly basis, Kim finally decided to let her natural do what it wanted to do, and is loving the results. Her hair is like her one-woman performances. “I’m a conceptual person, not a scriptwriter,” Kim announced. We love the results – in both areas. And so did a very tall, handsome gentleman who was near Kim’s side all evening!
