Monday’s Muse—Kimberly Elise


Hola!  Welcome to another work week!  Today’s muse is gorgeous actress Kimberly Elise.  She has been in tons of movies (Set It Off comes to mind), tv shows (Grey’s Anatomy is one) and now new VH1 drama Hit The Floor.  I have always admired her down to earth personality, as she is a woman that knows who she is and is very comfortable in her own skin.  Peep her beautiful tresses as well, she can rock a mean fro or flowing coils.  Lovely!

Looking fab at a party for her new VH1 show Hit the Floor.

Monday’s Muse—Ella Joyce


Hola!  I hope that you had a great weekend. Today’s muse is the gorgeous Ella Joyce.  Do you remember her on the show Roc back in the day?  If not, then you can check her out on the new TV One show Belle’s.  I stumbled upon the show a few days ago and was immediately drawn to her beautiful thick natural hair!  Seriously take a long look at that luscious mane of hers.  I would say that this is one of my fave muses yet…fab!

This is an older pic during her days on Roc. Lovely!

Monday’s Muse—Elle Varner


Hola!  I hope that you had a fab weekend!  You may be thinking that you have seen Elle Varner as Monday’s Muse before well you are correct.  We adore her big bright smile, sultry voice and those gorgeous curlz!  Since last featured Miss Varner has really moved up in the music/fashion world—she recently won a Soul Train music award, been plastered on magazines/blog covers and coming up she will be in concert with the great Nas at Radio City Music Hall on New Year’s Eve.  There is obviously no stopping her as she shoots for the stars…we wish her much success and look forward for what’s to come!

Hola peeps!  I hope that you had a great weekend.  Today’s muse the gorgeous and talented Thandi Newton.  I know that you have seen her star in several movies and shows but really I am drawn to her because of her fab curlz and style.  It was only until recently that she started to embrace and rock her curlz *for the sake of her adorable children* and I think that it was the right decision.  Take a peek and let me know if you agree!
