Another hole in my head
2009-08-13 06:47:00 Lori and I have been talking about getting another tattoo since, well, before I got another tattoo. But something always came up and we never got around to scheduling an appointment. Until today. We met for our usual Wednesday girls lunch. (I double pink puffy heart our Wednesday girls lunches.

University Fab...
2008-11-07 17:59:00 I was honored and privileged recently to have the opportunity to speak to an "African Americans and the Media" class about blogging at Southern University Baton Rouge, through the invite of one of my most loyal Hip Candy readers, Professor Broome (thank you!). And even though I was completely out of my comfort zone speaking in front of folks, I have to say, it was a great experience. I thought the class was an awesome group, especially since they mistakenly thought I was a young 20-something like them. Did I mention that this class was AWESOME? Anyhoo, I just wanted to thank them for welcoming me into their class and allowing me to explain what I do as a blogger, how blogging can be a serious money maker, and how blogs are continually changing the landscape of traditional media. Below are a few links to what we talked about:Fashion Bloggers vs. Fashion EditorsThe Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM my Alma Mater)Hip Candy covers Fashion WeekAmerica's Next Top Mo...

Drag Queens and Memes
2008-09-14 00:05:00 Skyler and I are watching a Project Runway marathon. For this challenge they are making dresses for drag queens. This, of course, brought on a very interesting conversation where I had to explain what a drag queen is to Skyler. I told her they are guys dressed up like girls for entertainment. Kind of like ...

My love list
2008-03-16 05:50:00 I decided to take the love list challenge. I love a good challenge. The rules are you can’t include a single person you know on your list. No “I love the way my husband laughs” or “I love hearing my little girl call for me.” It’ll be tough, I know. But this particular little exercise ...

Does Longer Hair=Having To Pay More For Services?
2007-10-22 00:36:00 Imagine this scenario. Your hair is dirty. You're not feeling doing it yourself, and you have a couple hours of free time so you decide to go and get your hair washed on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. You go to your regular "in-between" spot, but you try a different location (your "in-between" spot=not your regular stylist, but the spot you frequent "in-between" for quick in-and-out hair maintenance). You get there and get straight in the shampoo chair. You're styled just as you instructed and you're done! Then you go to pay for your hair services only to find out that you were charged a PREMIUM because you had longer hair. Yes, you were charged extra, double, maybe even TRIPLE the published price because of your hair length.Can you imagine that? Well I can, because this exact same scenario played out on me over the weekend. I went in to get my hair washed at my regular "in-between" spot like I normally do, although at a different location, and was shocked and surprised (shocked...

It's My Birthday!
2007-10-12 17:37:00 My apologies for the lack of posts.. we're still moving. But enough about that... because TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! Woo-hoo! Yay! October 12 should really be a national holiday IMO. My day started with phone calls and texts from my friends and family wishing me Happy Birthday, but the funniest and most memorable phone call came from my 3 year old nephew, who is also my godchild... he and his sister called together, but when he got on the phone, he said, "Happy Birthday!!! Who is this???" Lol! Too funny. Anyways, I'm gonna spend my day chillaxing and treating myself, which translates to absolutely NO MOVING TODAY, and hopefully go out tonight for a lovely dinner & maybe a movie *hint, hint*. Hoping ya'll have a fabulous day too!Chanel

Packing To Move + My Birthday "Wishlist" Revealed!
2007-10-08 17:04:00 We've been moving, which is why I've been M.I.A. for the last few days, and if any of you have moved before, then you know exactly what we're dealing with. Cleaning, separating stuff, packing, giving away stuff, throwing away stuff.. we still had unopened wedding gifts, and our wedding was back in 1995! It's been a LOT of work, and we're still not done, but enough about that, my birthday is this Friday (Oct. 12)! So the move will be temporarily interrupted.. at least for that special occasion. That being said, below is the birthday wishlist that I make a point to publish annually in an attempt to get the stuff I REALLY want for my birthday. This year I'm splitting it in half to accommodate my "champagne wishes & caviar dreams" list, and my "budget conscious, with a masters degree in finding cute items off the clearance rack" list. My 2008 birthday wishlist, parts 1 & 2 are below!Champagne wishes...1) The 2008 Range Rover Sport. Because I'm really a Jeep girl at heart!...

The Little Black Book Of Style...
2007-10-01 19:33:00 I was reading excerpts from Nina's book in the October issue of my Elle magazine, and she has some really good tips in there! Style tips that make sense will ALWAYS appeal to me. For example, I don't wanna hear nothing about not being able to wear white after Labor Day. Could we please get past that one? Pretty please?! Thanks. A few good tips from Nina's book below:On The Little Black Dress: The ultimate blank canvas. It is mysterious and chic, understated and provocative. In its simplicity, it makes you look effortlessly stylish, In its sophisitication, it makes you look endlessly elegant. The little black dress is the dress that is going to let you shine-it will flatter you, but it will not detract from the rest of you. It lets your hair, your accessories, and your personality take center stage. And the slimming effect-let's not forget the the slimming effect.On Denim: There is something about jeans that gives a girl an aura of instant style. They are simple and practical. Se...

I've Been Tagged!
2007-07-26 19:15:00 I've been tagged by two fab fashion bloggers: Adventures in the Stiletto Jungle and Shopalicious. The rules for this game of tag are that each player starts with 7 random facts/ habits about him or herself. Then the people who are tagged need to then report this fact on their blog along with their 7 things, along with these rules. They then tag 7 others and list their names on their blog. They are also asked to leave a comment for each of the tagged, letting them know they have been tagged and to read the blog. Got it? Ok, here goes:1. My current indulgences are a) Dove rich dark chocolates with chocolate creme accompanied with a glass of red, b) the oh so delicious cheese danish or the banana loaf with a non-fat latte from Starbucks, and c) shelled pistachio nuts with a cup of ice.2. When I travel, I've got the lightweight packing thing down to a science. I hardly ever check my bag. It's always small enough to carry on. Plus the airlines are getting notorious for losing all your...

It?s all about me?

Because It's All About Me...
2007-05-04 22:40:00 I know, I know, you sit around day in, day out thinking to yourselves "gee...I wish I knew more about Jennifer Laycock." (After all, I quite often find myself thinking "gee...I wish I knew more about Matt McGee.") Sure, some things are easy to guess...I like chocolate. I don't like dirty diapers. I don't believe in the Google sandbox. But what about all the other good stuff. How did I get into this industry? What advice would I give a new blogger? Do I own a Hermione Granger style time turner necklace? Well here's your chance to find out. My new friend Wendy Piersall over at eMoms at Home was kind enough to take the time to include an interview with me on her blog this past week. Now I'm obviously not self-absorbed enough to really think that you all sit around thinking about me all the time, but I will say that you might like it for the sake of the marketing advice contained within. Even if you don't care what I have to say, take out the time to check out Wendy's blog. It'...
It?s All About Meme! And Food.
2007-03-07 23:43:01 My delightful blogging buddy Vasilisa from Where Is My Dinner? has tagged me with a strangely delicious meme: Six Weird Food Facts About Me. I’ve added a little true/false fun. Below you will find six weird food facts about me that may or may not be true. Make your guess, then use your mouse to highlight the white space below each fact to reveal the answer. 1. Cool Whip is my favorite frozen treat. True. Give me a spoon and a container of Cool Whip from the freezer and I’m one happy girl. I actually prefer frozen Cool Whip to ice cream. 2. I love onions and can eat them whole, like an apple. False. Onions are my least favorite food. It isn’t the taste so much as the texture. Biting into even the smallest chunk of onion can make me gag. My dad, however, loves them. He can eat them like apples. Ick. 3. I prefer to eat brownie batter rather than cook it and eat the brownies. True. Weird, huh? 4. I detest sauerkraut, but eat it once every year....
