GLAM'ONDAY ALERT...FUN & FLIRTY SUMMER with SALLY HANSEN

Summer is here and its time to get flirty with Sally Hansen new polish~Crackle Overcoat. OK this is not just any polish, but a polish for a girl who isn't afraid of receiving a little attention to be noticed. Summer time should be about fun, traveling, hitting the beach and we can't forget all the BBQ's you'll be attending. We all know what gets noticed the most next to a rocking bikini? Your nails & feet. A good mani-pedi is key for summer so let's get this summer crackling right.

Being a Go-to-Girl has its privileges. I received recently all 8 of Sally Hansen new addition to the well know beauty line "Crackle Overcoat". Sally Hansen as what is now the number one brand of nail care.

Sally Hansen~Fuchsia Shock
SKU #4169-04

What is Crackle Overcoat? Crackle Overcoat you apply one thin or thick coat over a solid nail color and within 60 seconds you have a very unique design. Having your own unique style set's you apart~ Never be a Carbon Copy walk in your own shoes creating your own style. Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat does just that...Application Tips: Do not apply to bare nails. Do not leave the bottle open, close tightly when not in use. Allow it to dry and seal with any Sally Hansen top coat. Each nail turns out completely different once the crackle overcoat sets in. Normally I'm not a big fan of polish on my nails, it truly depends on my mood & style. I like to keep it simple& chic on most occasions. When I want to feel flirty I'll turn it up notch and summer time brings on the fun & flirty.



Kimberly Tested with
Fractured Foil ~SKU169-03 , underneath color
Sally Hansen VIP Pink


Crackle Overcoat comes in 8 different shades which can be paired with any nail color. From vintage purple to mature metallic's, you can create a unique mosaic design that’s modern and sophisticated. I test it out on my toes using the fractured foil over Sally Hansen VIP Pink. I'm all about the toes and love to wear peek a boo sling back, sandals, flip flops whenever possible. You know what that means summer watch out. I guaranteed you anyone in your circle will be asking you. WOW let me see your hands. At first glance I must say it does look like that time to hit the nail salon. Getting up-close & personal an amazing look you want to rock all summer long.



 Over the month of June,  I'll share images & different looks that we tested out and provide you my tips on getting the best style. I have also shared some samples with a few of my girls and look forward to seeing what unique styles they came up with. We definitely want to hear from you if purchased and tried the new crackle overcoat. So please share your story & images with us.




To learn more about Sally Hansen Fabulous
products visit Sally Hansen website or your
nearest beauty retailer.

  drezrehersal Tip... The crackle overcoat may not be the best choice if you work in the corporate sector. However, works well for the weekend when you can relax and let go. Perfect for those in the entertainment industry, fashion or any creative field. Brides-to-Be getting married have a spa'rty for your bridal party hiring a professional to come in and offer your ladies mani-pedi using Sally Hansen 8 fun colors in addition to a masseuse, adding other fun services your girls would just rave over. Spa'rtys are a relaxing way to show the ladies just how much they mean to you. Our previous clients love to add this option to the I Do's nuptials. Should your wedding day be informal, definitely a fun & flirty accessory for your bridal party. Brides still stick to the basic french tip.

If you're not familiar with Leslie, she is one of the most respected stylists in the business. She’s best known for working with many Hollywood actresses (her looks are regularly seen on the red carpet).

GET STYLED!

Throughout Leslie's career shes been constantly asked: “Is there a perfect T-shirt?” Her answer was always, “There is, but they are very expensive.” Believing that the perfect layering tee doesn’t have to be expensive or high-maintenance, she teamed up with Fruit of the Loom to create her new label.

Available exclusively at Bloomingdale's, the collection features 3 silhouettes that come in one package: the racer back, the tank, and the T-shirt.

Once Upon a Time Engagement Chicken...

Getting to the I Do’s ~ The Way to a Man’s ♥ is through his Stomach & Recipes to Get You Everything You Want in Life

There are many factors in being the best wife possible. Years ago, our mothers & grandmothers were stay-at-home moms. In this tough economy, most couples are equally the bread winners. Nowadays, you balance a career, family, friends, and on top of all those responsibilities, you’re preparing to be someone’s husband or wife. I have an inside sneak peek for any woman who is newly engaged, newly married or preparing to get to the I Do’s and wants to stir the pot – in the kitchen, in love, and in life.


OK, I must say I have the best of both worlds. I adore my career, I love entertaining, and I like to eat. Oh, did I mention I’m a great cook, as well? As a child, I absolutely loved watching my mother & grandmother cook in the kitchen from scratch. What is Scratch? A home-cooked meal made from all fresh ingredients, not from a box & most of all, made with LOVE. Since I was a little girl, I was told, "The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach". Needless to say, it’s not the only way, but an important detail. Ladies, when you know how to cook — “REALLY COOK” — for your man, there’s no greater joy than to see the pure essence of love on his face when he sits back and says, “Aww baby, that was delicious.”

PERFECT!!!
For any woman who wants to stir the pot-
in the kitchen, in love, and in life

Once upon a time true story…Getting to the I Do’s — There was an easy roast chicken recipe, handed down by a fashion editor at Glamour Magazine to her assistant, who was in search of a dish to prepare for dinner with her boyfriend. She made the chicken. Her boyfriend loved it. He had seconds. And shortly thereafter, he proposed. But that’s not all: Three more young women at the magazine made the chicken for the men in their lives, who then, in short order, popped the question. Soon after, Glamour published the recipe, dubbing it, naturally, Engagement Chicken – and since then, the magazine editors have heard from more than 70 women who have gotten engaged after making the dish. Commitment-phobes be warned: This bird means business!


Sneak Peek… Now, most of you know I’m an accomplished wedding & lifestyle producer, and the Los Angeles Go-to-Girl for Glamour Magazine. The reason behind why I have my hands on a copy prior to it going on sale. But, I’m providing you a sneak peek and giving you a heads up on a few of the details…
Cindi Leive and the Editors of Glamour have put together not just any cookbook, but a cookbook that includes 100 recipes every woman should know. From breakfast & brunch, nibbles, drinks, soups & salads, meat & poultry, seafood, pizza & pasta, meat-free mains, sides, cheap & easy meals, sweets and menus for any occasions, big or small. Whether you’re an expert in the kitchen or a novice eager to learn, it’s a fun book for the single ladies to get together & test some recipes out, or the newly engaged couple who wants to share an evening together cooking in the kitchen. And Ladies who want to get to the I Do’s… the cookbook has several “Engagement Chicken Success Stories.” The book will be in stores April 5, or you may reserve your copy now, and just maybe this time next year, you’ll be saying I Do…

The Famous "Engagement Chicken"
Watch Video Clip of
Engagement Chicken Success Stories

the details… The recipe titles are fun, inviting and a little sexy. Here’s a peek at one of my many favorite recipes.


Simply Sophisticated Seared Tuna
1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 6-ounce tuna steaks, about ¾-inch thick
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 scallions, thinly sliced


Directions:
1. In a deep dish or pie plate mix the ginger, garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Stir until combined.
2. Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the tuna in the dish with the marinade and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning the fish at least once.
3. In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil moderate-heat.
4. Remove the tuna from the marinade, pat dry, and add the steaks to the skillet. Cook, turning once, until browned and just cooked through, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to plates and sprinkle with scallions. Serve. (If desired, heat the remaining marinade in a small saucepan and boil for 2 minutes, then serve with the tuna).


Yes, I’m a sucker for sushi and this will hold me over until I’m able to go to my favorite sushi spot. I have two treats for you!
First Treat…On this upcoming GLAM’ONDAY we will be tweeting titles of additional recipes that I think are fabulous for entertaining on all levels using the hashtag: #100recipes @glamr100recipes. Follow us throughout the day @weplanevents and feel free to RT the tweets you think sound yummy for your tummy.


Just a reminder that we think love, engagements and marriage go hand & hand. It’s an equal playing field, and I personally think it’s sexy when a man says, “Honey I got this!” And gets in the kitchen just as good as I can. Even better is doing it together as a partnership. Guys, flip the script, and learn the recipe to engagement chicken, and maybe she’ll be proposing to you. (Smiles & Happy Cooking).

the I Do's... of Black Marriage Day

ARE YOU
MARRIED & PROUD OF IT?

Today March 27th more than 300 community groups nationwide will host film screenings, talks, and red carpet gala events inducting local couples into the Black Marriage Hall of Fame.


I’ve been blessed to choose a career I absolutely love with a passion. Seeing couples dreams come to reality is a joy in itself. However, with that comes much responsibility, trust & new found friendships. I could honestly say we become the blueprint that keeps the couple on solid ground during the planning process & far often after the I Do’s. OK let’s get in out the way now. Yes, I’m single & my love is to GOD, but I’m married, committed & respect my craft. Being a Wedding & Event Planner for over 18 years I have acquired much experience & wisdom spending an enormous amount of time with not only my clients, but their immediate family members. It’s a commitment we whole heartily believe in and share the importance of it during consultation. It can’t be about the wedding, but the process which develops into a strong union.

Ask yourself these questions before the I Do’s…
~ Is he/she right for you?
~ Does he/she L ♥ v e God with his/her whole heart and soul?
~ Does he/she actively try to know God’s will for his/her life?
~ Is he/she praying man/woman?
~ Does his/her actions align with his/her words?
~ Is he/she trustworthy?


The answer should be YES to all… Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction? In order to have a healthy relationship always remember you are no longer “Singular” its “Plural” about “US”. The couple must focus on the lord first in order to make it work. Always put him first and you will walk hand-hand, side-by-side. Make him the center, not mommy, sister, girlfriend, the guys, your stylist or the ultimate betrayal another man or woman. Your mate or spouse should be your best friend and all communications must be with each other with guidance from god. I think you get the picture.

L ♥VE & Marriage Recipe:


Marriage is a serious commitment & you must look pass the bling, because once all is said and done & your guests have celebrated with you, eaten with you & cried tears of joy with you. The real planning process is just beginning. Learning to be a husband & wife. This requires a list of ingredients that must be marinated well in order for the recipe of Love & Marriage to succeed.

Ingredients:
1-Cup of God
1-Cup of Respect
1-Cup of Commitment
1-Cup of Communication
1-Cup of Intimacy
Directions: All ingredients must be mix well & each partner must contribute their full portion of the required ingredients for the partnership to work.
Disclaimer: Do not substitute recipe



drezrehersal Tip... You're no longer
“Singular” its “Plural” about  the "UNION"

My 5 Tips for a Successful Marriage:

1. GOD (A Must) Husband, L ♥ V E your Wives, Just as Christ L ♥ V E the Church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any blemish, but holy and blameless.
He who L ♥ V ES his Wife L ♥ V ES Himself, For this reason a Man will leave his Father and Mother and be United to his Wife, and the two will become one flesh. Ephesians 5:22, 31

For Better or Worst I Choose Him First

2. RESPECT (For Each Other) This should be an area that needs no explaining what’s so ever, but we know each day won’t be peaches & cream and neither will your attitude. What goes on in your household stays within the foundation of your union. Respect each other enough to keep your business your business as well as stand hand in hand when in others presence. The Union should walk in agreement with each other & of course that won’t happen all the time; however it shouldn’t be broadcasted in front of others. If there is a disagreement with eyes watching go with the flow & discuss it at a later time when you both are alone. RESPECT the Union at all times.


3. COMMITMENT (No Matter What) The important thing is that you keep your heart right and don’t lose hope. Don’t allow discouragement, your busy schedule or the hurts from your past to cause you to miss what God is doing in your life and marriage. Most importantly, don’t give up on being blown away by God’s favor. Once you say I Do be fully committed to the development of the relationship-No Matter What.


4. COMMUNICATION (Partnership) a close mouth doesn’t get fed & no one is a mind reader. If there is an issue discuss it! Communicating is about effective listening. You can’t be listening clearly if you are all geared-up and ready to speak your opinion or rebuttal. So often we aren’t truly listening to one another & when you’re angry; your guard immediately goes up. Communication is an on going stimulate good, bad or in-different. Share your wants, needs and concerns with your partner on a daily basis. And most importantly communicate with God. Husband Pray for your Wives & Wives Pray for your Husbands. Seek him & communicate for humbleness, open heart, direction and blessings over your marriage.

5. INTIMACY (Not Sex) Whatever you did to get each others attention prior to marriage. You must continue throughout the marriage. Court each other, date one another, hold hands, leave special messages in different areas of the home, call your spouse for no apparent reason at all., send them a text and say just because. Make a constant authentic effort to continue all the special things you did when you were just a couple dating. The simplest pleasures will keep your significant other beaming ear-to-ear. God designed marriage to be one human relationship that guarantees authenticity and the intimacy it produces. You shouldn’t have to look any farther than your own marriage to find your most intimate and meaningful relationship. And above all pray that God will continue to provide you and your spouse the gift of emotional intimacy.

Just Let Go...He Is Yours & You Hers So
WHATEVER Goes

drezrehersal Tip… I want you to create a details L♥ V E box, chest anything you like to store cherished keepsakes of why you feel in l♥ve with this man or woman. I want each of you to place 6-8 items that were given to you by each other or from a momentous occasion during your courtship. Keep it where you can see it daily and after the wedding when times get rough either or both of you go to it and remember why you fell in l♥ve and what each of you brought to the relationship that made you say this is the prefect Man/Woman for me. Your disagreements may not seem so important when you look back on what made both of you say I Do.
