Must-Have Summer Beauty Products from NIVEA and More

To accentuate your natural summer glow, your warm weather beauty regimen should be minimal and low maintenance.  For a refreshed feeling, bath and body products with light floral and natural scents are best.  Here are some of the beauty picks Everything She Wants can't get enough of this summer (and beyond).

Body

NIVEA's Touch of Frangipani is a hydrating shower gel that entices with the fresh fragrance of Hawaiian Frangipani flowers (also called Plumeria) and moisturizing pearls made with sunflower oil. Developed with NIVEA's breakthrough Hydra IQ Technology, your skin will feel refreshed long after you shower.

Vitabath's "Spa Day" Fragrance Collection's hydrating lotion comes in several de-stressing, therapeutic scents including Lavender Chamomile Hydrating Lotion, Green Tea & Sage, Citron Leaves and Cucumber & White Tea. Each paraben-free lotion moisturizes your skin with a mix of aloe vera, safflower and olive oils for smooth, supple skin.

Made with handcrafted Shea Butter, beeswax, African wild honey and a blend of essential oils, Alaffia's Africa's Secret Multipurpose Skin Cream is a miracle worker on sunburn, cuts and bruises, and an excellent balm to moisturize dry patches on your elbows and feet. Sales from the cream fund community empowerment projects in the West African country of Togo.


Hair

Agadir Argan Oil products are made with 100% pure, certified argan oil (extracted from the rare and exotic nut of the Argan tree).  The lightweight product line includes a daily volumizing shampoo and conditioner, oil hair treatment and a spray treatment (our favorite).

Face

Voted the best new product of 2012, Me & the Girls' Bar Beleza Multi-Use Beauty Bar is rich in luxe cupuacu seed butter and works interchangeably as a light, non-greasy day moisturizer, a non-foaming oil cleanser and an all-in-one primer and conditioner.

Lips


NIVEA's lip balms are already the bomb; "A Kiss of Olive Oil & Lemon" keeps our kisser chap-free.  And now, thanks to NIVEA's "Style, Uncapped" campaign, consumers get the chance to design and purchase their own lip care caps with an array of colors and over 400 patterns and symbols to choose from. To kick off the program, fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff created a limited-edition design, inspired by her spring 2013 collection, which is available for purchase on the "Style, Uncapped" microsite.

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

It's the end of an era. Conway discount stores are closing . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to New York City, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued.  I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.  And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and white checkered pants with a matching lime green

Memorial Day Weekend 2023 Cultural Highlight: DanceAfrica Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Throughout Brooklyn

In her essay, " African Dance is Medicine for the Mind, Body and Spirit ," dancer, teacher and choreographer Cherie Hill wrote, "The more I perform African dance, the more I discover and enjoy euphoria. When the drums are beating and the body is dancing everything fits in sync and I feel limitless and powerful."   Photo by Nate Palmer                                                                                                                         Hill is honored with a portrait by Cecilia Lamptey-Botchway that's on display   at the  BAM Howard Gilman Opera House  during the annual  DanceAfrica Festival .  The festival celebrates Black joy and resilience and the regal power of African dance.  I mark my calendar each year for the  DanceAfrica Bazaar, where I often run into old friends and see familiar faces. In a Brooklyn that has quickly become gentrified, I love to see us walking tall, beaming with pride and to quote Bey, "shining, shining, shining, y

The Re-Education of NeNe Leakes: The Reality Star Talks About College Hill, What Housewives She's Still Friends With and More

I’ve been a fan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta since the beginning.     So I jumped at the chance to chat with original RHOA cast member and breakout star NeNe Leakes.     It’s been a tough couple of years since NeNe parted ways with the show. In 2021 her husband Gregg lost his battle with colon cancer and earlier this year she filed a discrimination lawsuit against her former employer, Bravo. But on the brighter side, the 54-year-old is dating again and starring in the BET limited reality series,   College Hill: Celebrity Edition.    Along with other headline-grabbing reality TV stars including, Big Freedia, Lamar Odom, Stacey Dash and Ray J., NeNe and the members of the cast lived together and attended classes at the historically Black Texas Southern University.     We asked NeNe what it was like to go back to school, what the biggest misconception about her is, which housewives she's still friendly with, and more.   Everything She Wants : What did it feel like being back in
