Oh Hey, I’m in a Motions Hair Advertorial in the December ESSENCE!

I’m in the December ESSENCE!!!! I shot a really fun advertorial for one of my favorite haircare brands Motions Hair back in March and here I am getting my hair done by URSULA STEPHEN (the hands that touch Rihanna’s hair touched mine!) and showing some cool holiday hairstyles :)

OK so first this was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had since starting this blog in 2007. EVERYONE on set was so nice and made me feel comfortable. They even played some Soca music (I’d just gotten back from Trinidad and Barbados) and everyone was just so wonderful. I also got to shoot with my boo thang Ms Vaughn who rocked it out in an advertorial that was in the September issue. The day could not have been more perfect. Thanks to Rondell, Ally, Ursula and her team, makeup artist Alana Wright, photographer Wendy Hope, and of course the Motions Hair team.

Here’s some behind the scenes photos from the day of the shoot:

Thanks for all the love shown on my Facebook and Instagram :)

      Hey!

      SO Sorry—I don’t know. There was a team of stylists on set who picked out all the clothes and we shot this back in March so even if I knew most likely they wouldn’t still be in stores :(
