Welcome to Everything She Wants!

Here's to new beginnings. Until recently, I was the editor for Hot Mama Daily, a popular beauty and style blog for women of color under b5media's Splendicity umbrella. I loved writing the blog, and published 600-plus posts since I took it over in November, 2008. So I was surprised and saddened by its abrupt end.

But I'm the kind of woman who likes to take control of her destiny. That's why I launched Everything She Wants. Fashion, beauty, celebrity dish, luxe travel, and pop culture delights are my passion. The blog's title is a wink to the latter and was inspired by one of my teen fixes, '80s heartthrob duo Wham!

I hope my Hot Mama Daily followers find me (Google works, y'all) and that a bevy of new readers embrace the blog as a new web resource for what's hot, hip, and delightful.

Everything She Wants is tailored to fit quirky, trend-setting, driven, and curious women like me.

Because everything she wants, is everything she sees.

Stay tuned,

Tracy E. Hopkins
