Beija-Flor Cosmo Pink Jean Benefits Breast Cancer

Me modeling the cosmo pink jeans./Everything She Wants

To shop with a purpose this fall, purchase a pair of Beija-Flor cosmo pink jeans that benefit breast cancer.

We love jeans that flatter a grown woman's figure, and the Brazilian brand Beija-Flor does exactly that thanks to curve-friendly details like: a no-gap contour waist; high back and mid-rise front; flattering pocket placement; memory stretch denim; and an engineered butt-lift.

Starting in October, Beija-Flor's eco chic Jennifer Jean in eye catching cosmo pink ($178) will be 20 percent off and $10 of each jean sold will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Just use the code: COSMOPINK

Each pair of the stylish skinny jeans, which are more of a light red in hue than pink, are made with Repreve, a recycled fiber made with 8 recycled plastic bottles.

So you can look good and feel good about your purchase!

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.

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

Soak Up the Last Weeks of Summer Sun At The Rockaway Hotel

Summer is winding down, but there's still time to soak up the sun -- while wearing sunscreen, chic shades and a protective hat or sun visor, of course. If you're in New York City, The Pool at The Rockaway Hotel + Spa is a cool place to swim, lounge and discreetly people watch while swaying to beat of ambient music. It's a vibe! Day passes are available for non-hotel guests Monday through Thursday (excluding private events, 10 am -7 pm). Located in the heart of the Rockaway Beach community in Queens, New York, the Rockaway Hotel is just a few short blocks from the sand and surf. Besides the outdoor pool, the newly built 84,000 square foot hotel offers around 60 guest rooms, a restaurant, a rooftop bar, and a large event space. And it's a nice addition to the area. When my husband and I visited the popular pool, we enjoyed yummy sips and bites poolside. Lounging chairs are first come, first serve so the early bird gets the spot of their choice. After chilling at t

Change Your Diet to Reduce Stress: 3 Easy Dietary Tips for Women

April is Stress Awareness Month . But strategies to reduce and manage stress are welcome any time of the year. Studies show that women are more likely than men to report high levels of stress, and for African American women chronic or daily stress is even more problematic. While we tend to think of approaching stress management from an emotional wellbeing and physical health standpoint, we don't often associate making dietary changes with reducing stress and anxiety. While scheduling an appointment with your primary care doctor and seeking help from a therapist or spiritual advisor may still be necessary to help address the underlying reasons for why you're feeling stressed and the degree to which your stress affects your life, here are a few food for thought tips from Constance Brown-Riggs, MSEd, RDN, CDCES, CDN, nutrition consultant and author Diabetes Guide to Enjoying Foods of the World .
