With the dangle of an earring or the glimmer in a ring, our style and even our mood can be transformed in a way that’s hard to explain. For Ngan, the brain and heart behind eNVe Designs, her jewelry did all of that and more. She used her jewelry-making as a creative outlet while going through a difficult time and decided to devoted her craft to sharing positivity and optimism in life and its possibilities. Her beautiful [...]
Last month, I discovered Polyvore while blog-surfing. The author had all of these great collages of fashion, beauty, celebs, and more. This immediately got my wheels spinning. How could I incorporate the sheer amazingness of Polyvore into my fabulous giving theme? Aha! I’ve decided to upgrade “Tue” Fabulous to my very own collage featured around one items with a charitable focus! So, today’s item would be those lovely Carlos by Carlos Santana shoes in [...]
I’m all about spoiling myself and spoiling others. And, one of my favorite ways to do so lately is with bath products. I used to laugh at people who went overboard with luscious soaps, silky lotions, and fancy scrubs. Now, I can’t get enough of them! I’m always trying something out or adding something to my wish list. Last summer, I got into the habit of incorporating more natural products into my beauty routine. You [...]

I’m a firm believer in work hard and play hard! Especially if you’re talking about playing for charity! This is why I’m so excited to participate in a nationwide initiative sponsored by Johnson & Johnson. J&J has selected bloggers across the country to host a Johnson’s Body Care Cause Party. These parties are supposed to celebrate girlfriends, being beautiful, and of course, making a difference. Ashanti actually hosted the first cause party and she raised [...]

The Fabulous Giver was featured in a list of “20 Nonprofit and Philanthropy Blogs of Color” on Rosetta Thurman’s blog. She works in the nonprofit sector in DC and is a great resource to her peers and the larger community. Her blog promotes social leadership within the next generation. According to Rosetta, Now my dream, of course, is that this list will continue to grow as more and more people of color add their powerful and [...]
Some might argue with me, but I think the mainstreaming of jeans has single-handedly changed my life. While that might be a slight exaggeration, I love wearing jeans. I will take a great pair of jeans over dress slacks ANYDAY. Dress pants don’t fit me right, and it takes too much effort to get it right! Does anyone else feel that way? Regardless of your denim POV, I’m sure that we can all agree that [...]
This charming bracelet to the right is a special edition creation designed by Chic Gems to benefit The Red Pump Project.

The bracelet will be available for purchase on the Chic Gems website later in the week. In the meantime, [...]
