Pamela Gurley on Success and Being a Stellar Woman

Who is Pamela Gurley? Who I am is so many things to so many people. Who I am is a go-getter, a loving daughter, an overprotective sister, amazing aunt to 5 nieces and 5 nephews, “Pma” to two wonderful pseudo-grandkids, the empowering friend, and devoted significant other to a wonderful and supportive man. I am also a worldly traveler, wine lover, poet (not many people know that about me), and I love to cook. What’s your backstory?This is such a loaded question because I have done so much in my life. I guess the easiest is the backstory of how I became a writer, which is a full circle phenomenon. I pretty much grew up writing because as far back as I can remember I wrote poetry. Writing was also my outlet (I had many diaries). While in highschool I attend the Upward Bound program at S...

6 Things Every Stellar Woman Should Know About Sustainable Fashion

Sustainable fashion is a term that’s increasingly used (and overused) these days, as we all become ever more aware of the serious environmental impact of our clothes.

In short, it’s an umbrella term for clothes that are created and consumed in a way that can be, quite literally, sustained, while protecting both the environment and those producing garments. That’s why cutting CO2 emissions, addressing overproduction, reducing pollution and waste, supporting biodiversity, and ensuring that garment workers are paid a fair wage and...

The weather is improving and “SUMMER’’ is here! – Farah Zaidi

It is time to start changing the way we treat our skin. As we emerge into summer, our skin is exposed less to cold/dry air, more to higher moisture levels, more sunshine and warmer temperatures.

Try and stay in the shade or at least use light clothing as cover up. I would also recommend to look for a ‘physical sunscreen’ which contains titanium or zinc oxide - the...
