OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW, SUMMER WE ARE READY FOR YOU!

As 2017 hastens with a quickened pace, June is already around the corner and as much as we love Summer and that the school semesters are finally at an end, May was definitely a month to remember.

One of the top reasons that make May truly a magical month each year, is because of the celebration of Motherhood and the incredible women throughout the world who have sacrificed their body, time, and sometimes sanity.

Le Angelique was so honored to be a part of the 4th Scandal-less Mother's Day Brunch where celebrity moms celebrated mother and sisterhood and honored Grammy Award-winning singer Melanie Fiona (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanie_Fiona)  and popular mommy blogger, Kristina Kuzmic (http://kristinakuzmic.com/about/). Our angels came to style and glam these phenomenal women, aka "Gladiator Moms."

The aesthetics were stunning with themed tiffany blue which matched the amazing décorations by event planning teams Cairo's Custom Events (https://www.instagram.com/cairoscustomevents/) and  bdashd (http://bdashdevents.com/).

The event occurred  Saturday, May 13, 2017, at the beautiful Castaway Restaurant in Burbank, California. In keeping with tradition, guests were pampered with manicures, massages, swag items, a full brunch buffet and bottomless mimosas. Among the 200 affluent and celebrity moms in attendance were Simone I Smith (Founder of SIS Jewelry and wife of LL Cool J), Apryl Jones (Love and Hip Hop Hollywood), Torrei Hart (Actress, Producer), Gillian White (Actress, wife of Michael Jai White), Althea Hart (Love and Hip Hop Atlanta) and many others. The event was hosted for the second consecutive year by Deanna "Bomb Chica" DellaCioppa (America's Got Talent).

We also collaborated with LTO Fitness for their Mother's Day special where they chose an incredible mother-daughter duo to be treated with a glam day and photoshoot on June 11th at the LTO Fitness studios in Burbank. Le Angelique will be providing the hair for the shoot.

What’s In A Name: How I Title My Art

how to title | painting titles | http://schulmanart.blogspot.com/2017/05/whats-in-name-how-i-title-my-art.html

When collectors see my work on display, they always comment how my art makes them feel both calm and happy at the same time. The beauty of this reaction is that it happens to be how I want my art to make people feel.

It has taken years to hone the skills to create this feeling through the use of colors, subject matter, and texture,

Our new travel blow dryers and diffusers are light weight yet powerful. Perfect item to take with you on any weekend getaway when you need to pack light yet still look right the whole time there. Big Sexy Hair spray is our favorite formula to create any voluminous holds.

 

IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW:

In 2000, Congress established a National Moment of Remembrance, which asks Americans to pause for one minute at 3pm in an act of national unity. The time was chosen because 3pm " is the time when most Americans are enjoying their freedoms on the national holiday.

WE HOPE EVERYONE HAS A LOVELY AND SAFE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!
