HAPPY BLOG BIRTHDAY!! CELEBRATING CHIC CHOCOLATE'S ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! + THE WINNER OF THE ARTISTRY TOTAL MASCARA CONTEST!

Today, Chic Chocolate turns 1 year old! This is truly a blessing. When I started this blog, my initial idea was to have a "lifestyle" blog that featured everything from great food to great fashion and everything in between. I had no idea that Chic Chocolate would morph into a full fledge fashion and beauty blog! My very first post was about cupcakes! The responses and feedback that I got from publishing this blog have been tremendously positive. I thank God for that! Since Chic Chocolate's inception, I've met so many wonderful, talented and positive people. It's been such a pleasure to share with you my "view" of fashion and beauty from "my little corner of the world!" It's been a fantasic ride so far and I hope to keep it going!

I want to thank each and every person that has or still is a follower of Chic Chocolate and I want to thank those who take the time to leave a comment or two on this blog. Your support is so appreciated.

As for the future, I have some things cooking in the background and I hope year #2 gets even better from here! Thank you & Many Hugs!

FAB DIVA ALERT: NIA LONG!!

Nia Long is one of my favorite actresses! She is like one of your good girlfriends! Friendly, talented and "down-to-earth", Nia is making a come back to movies soon. Her latest project, Mooz-lum, is a coming of age story about a young African-American Muslim teen who is tested by the events of 9/11. Nia plays the mother of this teen. I was so glad to see her in the film, Good Hair. I hope this is a sign of her return for good! Now, where is my other fav, Sanaa Lathan?!

Read a great interview about Nia at Clutch Magazine! Enjoy!
