The two tied the knot in front of just a few friends and family. Liv said no thanks to a traditional  wedding gown, and opted for  for a three-piece custom-designed look by Carolina Herrera. Don’t you just love that?

The  style star  paired a cream, ostrich-feathered cashmere sweater with white shorts covered by a full tulle skirt with floral details. Cobalt blue Manolo Blahniks with crystal-encrusted squares on the toes finished her look.

Congratulations Livy and Johannes! 2014 is definitely the year of L-O-V-E! (refinery29)

Inside FLOTUS  gave great advice on working hard and believing in yourself. She also talked about  how she preparing her daughters Malia and Sasha for the future.

On Working Hard and Believing In Yourself:

“I know I tell my kids all the time that they shouldn’t shy away from difficult things, because that is the point at which you are really growing. It’s not just about grades or test scores. Today our kids may shy away from applying to college if they think they don’t have the right grade or test score. But the truth is that the kids who succeed and go on to be successful professionals are the ones who know how to work hard.”

On Opportunity and what we owe our Ancestors:

“We cannot waste the opportunity that we have here in America, especially as African-Americans. Our ancestors fought and bled and died so that we could go to school. And I still think about that.”

 

On Preparing Sasha and Malia for the future:

“We talk about responsibility and accountability, about making sure that they’re not wasting the opportunities they’re given. We make sure they know how lucky they are and that, because of that, they have an obligation to have their acts together and to take their education very seriously.”

The August issue of ESSENCE hits newsstands Friday , July 4th.  (YBF )

Lupita Nyong’o Has a Side Hustle

lupita-nyongo-side-hustle-braiding-hair-

Lupita Nyong’o is a jack of all trades. In addition to being a talented actress, the Oscar award winner can “hook you hair up.”

In a video that coincides with her July Vogue cover story , Lupita  revealed she can braid hair. Who knew, this beauty had that hidden skill?

In the video you can watch her braid the hair of six of her friends. Lupita said it was bad hair experience that  prompted her learn how to braid her own hair.  “When I was an undergrad here in the U.S., I wanted to get my hair braided,” she said in the video. “So, I took the bus to New York to get it done at the African salons.”

The end result was pleasing for Lupita so she asked her aunt back in Kenya  to teach her how to braid her own hair. She took her skills back to her college campus. “When I got back to school, I decided [braiding] was going to be my side hustle.” But Lupita opted against the idea. She realized she didn’t have the heart to charge her friends, so she did their hair as a favor for free.

The actress can deliver a knock out role , while giving you cornrows, dookie braids, and bantu knots. (VOGUE)
