Yes, we know, another beauty brand sounds exhausting. But this feels different. Maybe because a beauty brand from Ciara has been years in the making. We told you back in 2019 that the triple-threat felt destined to do something big in beauty. She told WWD: “The beauty space is inevitable for me,. “It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to do something in the beauty space, and there are lots of cool things that I’ve been cooking up and working on, and I can’t wait until the time is here to share it with the world.”

Well, it seems that time is almost here. During a February 12 Instagram Live session with Allure editor-in-chief Michelle Lee, Ciara revealed skincare is coming first. She said the line will “speak to all skin types” and pigmentation, adding: “I’m super thrilled. I’m super proud. Ciara is working with experts in the industry on the formulas, so it sounds as if this is a real passion project. She isn’t just a celebrity putting her name on a product.

We cannot wait to see the finished product. In the meantime, you can shop Ciara’s first big foray into beauty. Yes, this skincare line isn’t her first gig. In November 2020, she and her husband, Russell Wilson, launched R&C Fragrance Duo,  a pairing of two fragrances named C and R.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

Each scent evokes the person’s vibe but they also work well together, just like any relationship. According to a press release, a portion of the proceeds made from sales will benefit the Why Not You Foundation, the couple’s nonprofit organization dedicated to children’s health and education.

Although it might be cold AF where you are right now, spring is right around the corner. Yes, it’s almost March again. (How?!) There are a few holidays coming up that hopefully, we’ll be able to celebrate with a few family members or friends when and where’s it’s safe. Regardless, we know what we are doing. Taking all the baths and prioritizing our self-care routine. Lush’s Easter collection will help. According to the brand, this year’s collection evokes nostalgia, with many of the products inspired by popular childhood rhymes, poems and stories.

Even if you don’t celebrate Easter, this Spring-ready line might just lift your spirits. Per usual, the bath bombs are standouts, featuring the Easter Bunny, Humpty Dumpty, and The Owl and the Pussycat. Seriously, they’re so cute. The Golden Egg Bath Bomb Melt and Avo Good Easter Soap are returning favorites so if you obsessed last year, you can shop ’em again. There are also giftable items in case you want to send home to family, including lip scrub and bath bombs packed inside a cardboard bunny.

What are you waiting for? Shop a few faves from the new collection, below.

Margaret Josephs’ Initial Earrings and Pink Satin Halter Top

Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 11 Episode 1 Fashion

Margaret Josephs’ is back looking better than ever on the season eleven premiere of the Real Housewives of New Jersey. And she’s my new favorite thanks to her saving the first episode of Closet Confessions by coming on when a fellow ‘Wife couldn’t come on last minute (which is a must watch).  And while she might be the first to tell you “You’re husbands in the pool” I’ll be the first to tell you “You’re earrings are in the cart”.

There are many new and old/revisited diets in today’s landscape featuring a variety of different foods. Many of them are aimed at losing weight and improving your health.

The vegan and vegetarian diets have enjoyed a surge in popularity over the past decade, but do we all know what they are?

A vegan diet is one excluding all animal protein and animal products, such as eggs, butter and all dairy products. A vegan diet is basically a very strict vegetarian diet.

You will find many new vegan products available on the market such as vegan flour, milk and other substitutes to make this diet seem more mainstream.

Vegetarians allow themselves more freedom in their food choices compared to vegans. Many vegetarians add eggs, dairy, fish and even chicken to their diets while eliminating red meat and pork.

I am neither vegan or vegetarian but believe in eating a healthy diet from real food that has not been processed. Adding extra servings of produce to your daily meals alone will create a healthy diet.

I personally like to eat what I want, without restrictions. I do make a few vegetarian meals throughout the week which amp up servings of fruit and veggies.

Eating portions of fresh fruit and vegetables for meals and for snacking creates a healthy eating pattern even if you still enjoy a good steak or hamburger once in a while.

I am going to share two breakfast recipes. One recipe will be strictly vegan and the second, a vegetarian dish.

Curried Tofu Scramble

Ingredients

1 block of firm tofu

1/2 cup of chopped green onion

1/2 cup of chopped sweet red pepper

2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro

1 teaspoon each of curry powder, garlic powder, oregano

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Break up the block tofu and mash it thoroughly.
• Heat the oil in a medium size frying pan.
• Sauté the veggies and spices in the pan for about 5 minutes.
• Add the tofu and blend it with the veggies, then cook until fully heated.
• Serve the tofu scramble with fresh fruit or vegan bread.

My Favorite Vegetarian Egg Scramble

Ingredients

4 eggs

2 tablespoons of water

3 tablespoons of butter

1/2 cup of chopped onions

1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms

1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste
