The video,  starts with the couple atop of a hot rod fit for some Hell’s Angels, with MiMi clutching to the back of Miguel, before heading into a shed to sing together, both of their stellar voices blending perfectly. 

It was really cute seeing Mariah do a little dance, even if it was for Miguel.

Her body in that yellow dress, showing him a little leg and some nude panties. The track is just very light and intimate. Something that puts a small smile on the face.

Monochrome display for the Mount Street boutique in London. Optical illusions have been produced refracting the monochrome lines in the garments; this was made by an illusion box being part of the creation. Inspiration has been taken from his kaleidoscope Spring/Summer ’13 advertising campaign

The best things about the monchrome trend is versatility. Stripes, spots, or block colors, there a myriad of ways to wear it. ‘60s mod wannabes will keep lines short and sharp, but for a 2013 update add slouchy shapes and splashes of bold color.

Molly Maid is a great success story  a true "Beauty Within" inspiration. 

 Kristi Mailloux named president of the maid service franchise Molly Maid in 2006, it represented the culmination of a journey she had started 20 years earlier when she joined the company fresh out of college. Kristi started as a receptionist, but as a new employee in a still-growing business her responsibilities were not limited simply to the front desk.

"She did everything in the receptionist role — cleaned toilets, answered the phones, entered data, greeted guests and made coffee," Mailloux said. "There were only 40 franchises then. I was the seventh home office employee; now we have more than 60."

Mailloux believes the most important lesson for others is to master all the tasks presented to you so that you can continue to move up into other positions.

"No task should ever be beneath you," Mailloux said. "When I first began at Molly Maid, I was the receptionist and I had to clean the bathrooms!"

Molly Maid is a nationwide network of residential cleaning professionals. Molly Maid franchisees provide free in-home estimates to better understand customer cleaning needs and expectations. The Molly Maid service includes dusting and vacuuming throughout the house; cupboard fronts are spot-cleaned; floors are washed; and, the kitchen and bathrooms are cleaned. Molly Maid cleaning teams are bonded and insured, and all work is guarantee.

Kristi Mailloux can relate to anyone, not coming in with a big ego or arrogance but rather making people feel like they can talk to me no matter what level.  Kristi organized the Ms. Molly Foundation. 

The company has raised more than $750,000 for the cause. Franchisees clean local shelters for free year-round, and during October – Domestic Violence Awareness Month – they donate a portion of all cleaning fees as well as money raised from fundraising events. "Customers get excited about it too," says Mailloux. "In September we leave notes in homes, and when we come back in October, many leave money or goods for us to donate to local shelters."  "True Beauty Within"

Janelle Monae is back with a chick new video spotlighting her sleek style. Every great single deserves a great video, and such is the case for Janelle Monáe's “ Q.U.E..E.N.” featuring Erykah Badu. The first track from her upcoming album "The Electric Lady". It’s a grandiose museum exhibit in which a striped-out Monáe dances with lookalikes, while Badu walks the dog. Beyoncé’s influence is felt throughout, (thinking Single ladies) but Badu definitely brought the weird.

As "Q.U.E.E.N."'s funk-tinged bass line kicks in, the sculptures flicker to life with Janelle twerking in her chair  and singing about haters and their snap judgments: "I can't believe all of the things they say about me/ Walk in the room they throwing shade left to right."

Backed by an aesthetically stunning bevy of mod '60s dancers, Janelle finally sidles up to a queen-like Erykah Badu, who's looking terribly regal in all white and gold. Together, they sing about female equality ("Baby, here comes the freedom song") and loving oneself despite social pressure ("But you gotta testify/ Because the booty don't lie").  "Electic ladies", will you sleeop? Or will you

Released last year June 2012, their EP Play Hard sold 36,000 copies.  Their musical style draws upon dubstep, moombahton, and house. Something like Skrillex meets late '90s Eurodance stars Alice Deejay or the Vengaboys .  Trindl said, "We think [of our music] as an infusion of pop, but it's not like a lot of pop songs that can get a bit monotonous. We're just throwing our own influences into it. We make what we think pop music should be."

Krewella's singing sisters Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf have developed a kind of hard-ass, party girl presence online. The young women sport heavy makeup and neck tattoos, and built a Facebook page littered with "titties," beers, "jame-o," raised middle fingers and the tagline "making you wet...one song at a time."

But you can kind of picture these three as well-off kids from a liberal suburb of Chicago, singing in choir and playing in garage bands. The group's members are -- Kris "Rain Man" Trindl and sisters Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf -- met when Trindl and Jahan were in high school. "I would be at his house -- he'd be throwing house parties -- and he would disappear," says Jahan, now 23. "I would open the door to his room, and he would be sitting at the computer, programming beats." Soon, Jahan was singing over Trindl's tracks, and, a few months after that, "we stole Yasmine from her indie band," Jahan says. Krewella posted its first tracks to SoundCloud in 2011. "System of a Down, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, ABBA -- those were all groups they listened to when they were younger kids. "It comes from the heaviness in metal, the breakdowns," Trindl says. "It's not even about the emotion, it's more about the rage -- but not rage like anger, rage like party. Like swaying, going half time, jumping around. The metal background helps make Krewella what it is." Not all of that's evident in the radio hit, but, Yasmine says,"I hope our fan base will delve in past Alive.

 The song was released in February 2013 as the second single from their EP Play Hard.

Lyrics: Let's make this fleeting moment last forever / So, tell me what you're waiting for? / I'm gonna keep it frozen here forever, / There's no regretting anymore.

In a recent interview with Net-A-Porter magazine, mother of two Jessica Alba admitted to using a corset to re-gain her sleek and toned body after baby. 

"After birth I wore a double corset for three months. It was sweaty but worth it," reveals Alba.

"A PowerLatex Core is our most popular prescription for post-baby bodies," reveals leading online shapewear merchant HourglassAngel.com. 

"For example our Almighty Cincher by AMIA, slims your waist dramatically and immediately. Best of all, some users wearing the Almighty Cincher 8-10 hours a day for 30 days report sustained reduction of 1-4 inches in the midsection."

What is the secret? This Cincher utilizes the science of compression to support long-term slimming. The Power Latex Core stimulates thermal activity and perspiration, mobilizing fat and toxins. You will see results as soon as you put it on. Add time, plus a healthy diet and active lifestyle and you're going to love the edge AMIA gives you.

AMIA believes that great women deserve great support, donating $1 from each purchase to the charity The Women's Alliance which provides professional attire and career training to low income women.
