PRISSY SWEET CAKE TREATS! Where pretty & tasty mingle*

CUPCAKES!!!!!! I love cupcakes and even more, I love creating cupcakes...toying with recipes, designs, and of course eating them!  Anywho, what was once JUST a hobby has now turned into a budding business.  Prissy Sweet Cake Treats, follow me at (@prissysweetcake).  I was spending so much on cupcakes at various cupcakeries in the DC area and thought "I could do this" "I do this."  So I took the necessary steps to start Prissy Sweet Cake Treats! That isn't a joke, I'm for real! Anywho, this weekend, I had the pleasure of creating the cupcakes for www.ybse.blogspot.com's Valentines event "Cupcakes & Champagne" and to my pleasure and pride, the crowd LOVED them!!  Yes, it was my first time creating cupcakes for someone, a complete stranger's event.  Anywho, be on the lookout for more cupcake posts of my creations for Prissy Sweet Cake Treats!

Regal, Powerful, Feminine...African American Woman CEOs*

As a budding entrepreneur, thanks to the many projects I have going on right now, I love giving props to my fellow young black women making power moves and establishing powerful relationships.  I'm excited for African Americans as a whole for the presence we are making in the business world!!  HOWEVER, THIS POST is all about the ladies...those black women running corporations, signing checks, and calling shots!!  I WANT TO BE LIKE THEM!!

This is Ursula Burns.  She is the FIRST black, female CEO of a Fortune 500 company!  She is running Xerox!!  Hailing from New York like most people everywhere, she started at the bottom as an intern in the 80s!! 

Sheila Johnson!  If you watch BET then you should know who she is..the ex-wife of former BET owner Robert "Bob" Johnson.  Anywho, Sheila has her own accolades to be proud of she is the Owner, President of, and governor of the WNBA's Washington Mystics 2.) has a stake of ownership also in the Washington Wizards and Capitals, 3.) and is the CEO of Salamander Hospitality, a company that runs a slew of resorts across the Southeastern part of the country!

Cathy Hughes!! She is the owner of both Radio One and TV One!  If you're from the DMV, you listen to a few of her stations all the time and who doesn't love "Unsung" on TV One every Monday night...Cathy Hughes is a media force! 

Inspired....

I find inspiration sometimes is in the weirdest areas. However, nothing inspires me more than another young, Black woman doing well for herself. I love to support my fellow young ladies because 1.) there is a lack of unity among us, and 2.) it really does light a fire under me to 86 procastination and DO SOMETHING worthy, that makes me happy, and feels a void and make others happy. Now more than ever, because I am expecting, I have been motivated to sort of "'do my own thing". I always said I wanted to be a stay at home mother, but my pregnancy was a surprise, and I am not quite at the point where I can hand in my resignation letter and do that yet. You better believe the confirmation of my conception put me on the fast track to establishing the companies I have always dreamed of establishing, putting in place financial matters for the future of my unborn, and just really putting the presses on myself to get things done. Anywho, in my post yesterday I mentioned Keyshia Dior's (the video model) lipstick line. I love this girl's hustle!! She released a video yesterday, mini documentary, about her rise to success and it inspired me all the more....you can find the video on her website at www.keyshiadior.com but here it is below



I think she is great! Loved her story!

Some new faves....

Hey yall!!! Funny my url is opinionofaglamchik.blogspot and I have not offered an opinion on anything even remotely glam or unglam lately. Forgive me! If you follow my other blog, then you know I am JUST starting to get my energy back, I just updated that one and figured since I'm logged in I will update this one by letting you all in on some new and not so new faves of mine....leggooooooooo

Well, I have become the self proclaimed youtube junkie this summer for all things girly, prissy, and glam!! I have found two new favorite youtubers, and I think they are friends, but their videos are awesome!! The first one is AllThingsFabulous101 and the other is SongbirdDiva4life...they both hail from up north, New York to be exact and have the best reviews on everything from hair, makeup, clothes, wardrobe necessities, giveaways...the works*** I have to say my favorite of the two is Miss Asia of All things fabulous 101 though; her reviews are among the most thorough on "the tube" lol!

Some other new favorites of mine are; NYX makeup products (cheap & great quality). I found out about NYX through All Things Fabulous' videos. I may be late with that one, but I love the quality and they are so economical. Further, in my quest to STOP paying MAC cosmetics $30 a pop for foundation, I have found a drugstore substitute that I probably love more...the Maybeline Fit Me Foundation. I swear by it these days! Also, ummm I have not tried her lipsticks yet, but I am so fascinated by the Keyshia Dior lipstick line because I'm a colour whore and her line has NO shortage of pigments...

Some new brands that I am probably going to fall in love with but are not as popular yet, are Endeavor DC a new, local clothing line in the DC area. You can follow Endeavor DC at @ShopNDVR on Twitter and view their designs at http://www.ndvr.bigcartel.com/!! Gotta support the local entrepreneurs.

Also, I have noticed that so many new accessory lines have come out...and last night, I came across one I'd never heard of on the bigcartel website called Rachel Stewart Jewelry. I love er designs...find her at http://www.rachelsteward.bigcartel.com/

Christol Salon Spa...

Website: http://www.christolsalonspa.com/

I've been going to Christol Salon Spa for about 2years now and from the very first visit, I was impressed with the professionalism of the stylists, the cleanliness of the shop, and the heightened awareness of what GREAT customer service means!!! Christol Salon Spa (Clinton, MD) is one of two salons owned and operated by Christol Williams, a 25 year old Cosmetologist and entrepreneur. Long gone are the days that you wait FOREVER for your stylist to even prep you, Christol's stylists are punctial, down to earth, professional women who are into HEALTHY hair just as much as they are into styled hair.

Christol Salon Spa can and probably will be your one stop shop for most of your beauty needs like O.P.I nail polish, Bed Head products, and top of the line lip gloss, eyeshadow, liner, skin care products.

My stylists name is Whitney but i've witnessed every lady in there SERVE on the hair front. Each lady has her specialty but EVERYONE can DO EVERYTHING!!!

Not looking to get your hair done but in search of some pampering...visit Christol Salon Spa in Clinton, MD for all your pampering day spa needs. The services offered range from; facials, massages, pedicures, manicures, body wraps, and scrubs.

The part I like the most about Christol's is the customer appreciation. I feel like my business matters to them and they seek to please me and keep me coming back.

The salon is probably the CLEANEST shop i've ever been too....most mornings customers enjoy complimentary refreshments while being serviced (typically pastries or cake and tea, coffee, water). There was even a customer appreciation "exhibit" put on by Christol and her stylists a few months ago.

Customers and spectators were treated to a complimentary buffett, open bar, beauty consultations, and a fashion/hair show....right in the salon to do nothing more and nothing less than to show appreciation to the customers. Birthdays do not go unnoticed either!! Loyal customers receive 10% off their services for their birthday & WE ALL WANT TO LOOK GOOD ON OUR BIRTHDAYS!!!!

Don't take my word for it checkout Christol Salon Spa in Clinton, MD and Salon Christol in Largo, MD!!!!!!!!!!!

Young, Black & in Business!!!

I was in the hair salon reading the latest edition of Black Enterprise magazine when I came across their cover article about young, black professionals/entrepreneurs. I thought this would be a cool section to offer on my blog....In this section, I will highlight and profile business whether currently booming or up and coming busineses owned by young, black, professionals and entrepreneurs, especially young 20-somethings like myself. I not only want to profile and write about these businesses I want to support them as well, so if anyone knows of any business that are currently open or coming soon to the DC area, let a blogSis know so I can check them out!!!!
