yesterday i bought a pink purse from a store called 'Mandees' online. I know that a lot of people are scared to shop online becuase of scams and other things like that.
ways to know if a store is legit or not:
1. if its an actual store.
*places that are actual stores have reputations that they want to keep up with- so places like deb and charlotte russe wouldn't want to ruin their reputation because their a scam online.
2. look it up
*some people do reviews on things that they bought online on youtube. other people talk about it on places like Yahoo! Answers. So places like 599fashion.com--although they sound too good to be true, aren't.
What i like about shopping online is that you can get cute stuff that from stores that aren't near you so nobody else will be wearing the same things. But you can easily run into scams and get cheated out of your money so be careful.

Make it Your Own: Personal Style
whether i like the clothes someone wears or not, i always have to respect their personal style. if someone wants to wear blue shoes with a brown shirt and leather pants-who am i to judge?
when someone expresses thier personality through their clothes, its called 'personal style'. You can show your bohemian laid-back attitude by wearing neutral-colored long flowy dresses and cardigans, or show your indian roots by wearing a multi-colored sari and a bindi on your forehead.
however, personal style should belong to you. it should reflect who you are. therefore, copying someone else's style is not okay.
Swagger Jacker: someone who steals or copies someone elses st
yle, slang, way of dress, ect. and passes it it for their own.
In the picture to your right, you can see how this girl is 'swagger jacking' Nicki Minaj. Check it out:
Black and pink two-toned hair, pink bra peeking through a black tank top, and the pants are (almost) identical.
Bottom Line of personal style: be yourself and not someone else.

Welcome to Epiphany:)
You might be wondering what is Epiphany and where did this dream come from?
Epiphany Magazine(EM)is a magazine that i hope to own in the future. (a print magazine, not online) It all started b/c on christmas, 2008 my mom gave me my first magazine subscription to 'Seventeen Magazine'. I loved reading it every month and it sparked my love for fashion. (along with watching 'The Tyra Banks Show' every day...but thats another story). But, when it came to hair and makeup--it was mostly for white girls so the tips they had for hair most likely wouldn't work for me. (not being racist, but its no secret that black and white people have different hair). so one day, i had an epiphany (hence the magaline name) that i should own my own hair magazine and help other girls of color who want to look cute. :) not that this is a 'colored only' magazine (that's so last century), but in my opinion white girls have enough magazines to choose from. (hey, i never said i was politically correct).
so this is my gift to the world and i hope that reading EM will be your first place to look for whats in style and hair care tips.
soo...this is what i will be talking about:
*Hair
*Nails
*Fashion
*Boys and Relationships
*Best Workouts
*Friends
*Polls
*Food
*Reviews and Tutorials
**and SOOO much more!
P.S.:
