Have you ever been tempted to go to bed in your party make-up only to see one of life’s winning beauties flash through your mind and jog you back to reality? Well the truth is every woman needs someone who inspires and urges them on –whenever the ‘I-wanna-wear-make-up-to-bed-cause-I’m-tired-slut’ raises its ugly head, –and for me it will always be Selena Breed, Ghanaian model –Menaye Donkor, Vicky Boateng, Diana Ross, Liya Kebede, Freema Agyeman, Sofia Loren, Aleshea Dixson, Lily Taylor, Alek Wek, Nicole Fiscella, Genevieve Jones, Elizabeth Taylor, -et al.

These special women are so beautiful and blessed with uber clear skin –and the type of thorough-bred good looks that attracts only powerful and successful men. And they inspire me -daily. Of course you can argue that these are a different breed of women but trust me, –if you follow their lead –you too will feel like a beauty winner. I just can’t image any of these ladies ever slacking off –can you, –plus for most of these women -beauty is their work and their livelihoods. So –the minute I want to slack off, –all I do is picture one of these lovely ladies -and ‘just-like-that’ –I find myself; cleansing, toning and moisturizing [heheheehe]. Of all these ladies Selena Breed is my favourite ‘beauty inspiration’. I first spied this elegant beauty in American Vogue a couple of years ago –discussing her style. An American of Caribbean heritage, –Selena is one of only two black models to have [the coveted] Lancôme ad campaign [Arlenis Sosa is the other model].

Do you have a beauty inspiration’ –if so, the minute you feel like slacking off/forgoing your beauty routine -remember her! xx
