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!

I LOVE MAKEUP!!! Within the last year and a half my love has become borderline OBSESSION!! Soooo, I'm going to become a certified makeup artist!! No longer satisfied with the little looks I come up with playing around, I really want to learn the tricks of the trade, go on to learn airbrushing, and even special effects artistry!! I have fun with makeup and there is So much to learn..not to mention it's an industry all its own!! From the hair industry, to entertainment industry, or everyday precious moments in life like; proms, weddings, photoshoots, etc.. In all of those areas makeup, whether minimal or full face and theatrical becomes necessary!! So of course it will be my new side thing that I can do to make extra cash and HAVE FUN at the same time!!! I have decided to start makeup training in September. The classes will last 6 weeks, 3 nights. So, it'll be over before I get tired of it or feel like I can't handle it with my full time job and being PREGNANT!!! I want to learn now, before my baby comes so that by next Spring, I will have already been trained to do all the cute, colorful summery looks I cannot wait to learn and try on myself let alone other people!! I'm EXCITED*****

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/

Celestial Nails....hooked me up!

Thanks to social networking (twitter & facebook mainly) people are able to market themselves to the masses! Anywho, on my regular "let me checkout my timelime" mode one day, I came across a retweet of some unique nail designs. Being the nail art freak that I am, I had to find out who the creative nail tech behind the designs was and it was Celeste of Celestial Nails!! Needless to say, I quickly followed her and setup appointments.....with my first being yesterday! Those are my hands in the picture, cute pic, huh?? She calls this design "Moroccan Royalty." You would not believe she freelances all her designs! Also, those are glass nails and without polish you can see right through them. Celeste specializes in traditional nail treatments, minx nails, 3D nail art, pedicures, acrylics, gels, fimo designs! She is up on all the latest nail trends, designs, polishes, finishes, and is dedicated to tailoring your nails to your personality...going as extravagant as you desire! I enjoyed getting my nails done by her; good customer service, unique designs and colors. Celeste also has a variety of pictures, books, and magazines for customers to checkout her past designs. She will draw inspiration from anything being the artist that she is. The inspiration for my design was a circle she saw on the Wendy Williams Show, and I LOVE IT! She does a little photoshoot of your nails after for her "portfolio". The talented ARTIST Celeste has been featured on Necole Bitchie's Bitchie Nails. Feel free to follow Celeste on Twitter at @Celestialnails or friend her on facebook at www.facebook.com/celesteahampton!!! Check her out...young, black, and in business!!

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!!!!!!!!!!!
