‘LHHHS6’ Recap: Lyrica Is Heartbroken But Her Girls Got Her Back

Excerpt from:

Source: Lucianna Faraone Coccia / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Hollywood picks up from Apryl and Moniece’s face-off [*cough* over Fizz]. Moniece says she doesn’t want Fizz, but it seems like she’s jealous of Fizz and Apryl’s relationship, or whatever it is they’re doing. In fairness, Moniece is also upset because Apryl and Fizz have been making moves with her son Cam, like going on a family trip to Chicago, without telling her. That’s actually valid. Apryl still denies that she and Fizz are a thing. Basically, we’re still in the lying phase. But anyway, they manage to get past the hostility and apologize to each other for their respective transgressions. This is clearly not over. But for now, they make amends and even decide to support each other when it comes to their music.  Apple Watts is back. She’s the resident stripper-tryna-be-a-rapper. Every Love and Hip-Hop city has to have at least one. Anyway, she’s still working on her music but she isn’t affiliated with the manager she had last year, and definitely not that man who pretended to be her father. Now she’s seeking guidance from Yoyo, who has taken on the role of rap mentor April’s mentor through the literal Yoyo School of Hip-Hop.  Next, we find a heartbroken Lyrica is kicking it with Princess and her best friend, Sia. This is the aftermath of Jason Lee leaking that info about A1 cheating with Summer Bunni while Lyrica was pregnant. Lyrica is in tears as she laments how hurt she was. Princess chimes in and says she caught Ray J “headed in that direction” when she was pregnant so she empathizes. Lyrica has A1’s phone number blocked at the moment but he has a show coming up and Sia suggests they run up on him. That’s not this episode, but it’s coming.  Now we’re back at the Yoyo School of Hip-Hop. Yoyo thought she was going to connect Apple Watts and Summer Bunni, not knowing what was about to happen. Basically, Apple Watts was down with meeting Summer at first, but then she recognized who Summer was. Apple and Lyrica are cool, so Apple immediately calls her out and goes into fight mode. They go back and forth for a second, but you know security got this. Apple gets removed but she’s outside yelling about how she wants to deliver Compton Fists of Fury to Summer Bunni.  Meanwhile, Summer is standing with Yoyo, going back and forth between crying and yelling back at Apple. Yoyo is telling Summer to pull it together because she’s going to have to deal with a lot worse as her career progresses. Blacc Chyna is in the studio with Brittany and they’re planning her music. The real point of this scene is for Blacc Chyna to encourage Brittany B to work on her relationship with her mother since they both have toxic moms in common. Brittany isn’t too sure about that though because she’s still dealing with the trauma from her mother’s crackhead-ish behavior over the years. But we’ll get back to this next episode.  Let’s fast forward a bit. Now we’re at a party or showcase, or something. We find Misster Ray with Summer Bunni and Yoyo. We’re not sure if Apple is coming, but she probably is, because, Love and Hip-Hop Hollywood , but Yoyo mentions that Summer Bunni needs to be ready in case Apple shows up. Summer starts getting all teary-eyed again talking about how what happened the other day with Apple wasn’t called for and she’s tired of people putting stuff in #TheBlogs about her and calling her a homewrecker when they don’t really know her, yatta yatta. Yoyo tells her to snap out of it, once again, then Ray J and Princess walk in. You already know that Princess ain’t feeling Summer on behalf of Lyrica. And then…Lyrica waltzing in with Apple. That’s how the episode ends tonight. But it’s going down next week because Lyrica and Summer Bunni are going to have a war of words.  RELATED POSTS ‘LHHHS6’ Recap: Apryl Has A Love Jones For Fizzle Pop ‘LHHHS5’ Reunion Recap: Moniece And Princess Love Do The Unthinkable

Rihanna Lookalike Ala’a Skyy Named New Ambassador For The Mane Choice

Read the original:

Source: MARTIN BUREAU / Getty Imagine a celebrity posting you on their social media page and it launches your career. Well, that’s the case for Ala’a Skyy. The 7-year-old model is now the newest ambassador for the natural haircare brand, The Mane Choice. The gorgeous model first caught our attention when Rihanna posted her on Instagram. Baring a striking resemblance to our favorite “Bad Gal,” the world quickly fell in love with her and the rest is history. The Mane Choice CEO and founder Courtney Adeleye couldn’t stop gushing over the young beauty in a statement. “Not only does she have an amazing attitude and work ethic at such a young age, she also loves her hair,” Adeleye shares. “She understands the benefits of using great products. It’s amazing!” View this post on Instagram Be prepared to receive exactly what you put out into the universe! Nothing happens by accident! It’s all apart of #GodsPlan One day you are using your favorite products because you love them and the next day you are using your favorite products and become their newest ambassador at the same time! Dreams really do come true, if you believe YOU deserve them! Thank you @TheManeChoice for picking me and thank you @CourtneyAdeleye for flying me out to Las Vegas to see you and giving me one on one PRICELESS mentorship! I am so blessed beyond measure! I can’t wait to share with you all a BIG surprise! As for now, it’s time to turn my straight hair back into my beautiful CURLS with #TropicalMoringa #AlaaSkyy x #TheManeChoice A post shared by Ala’a Skyy (@iambriakay_) on Aug 4, 2019 at 6:49am PDT She shared her excitement via Instagram with a cute video singing, “I can’t wait to use my Tropical Moringa,” while holding two products from the Tropical Moringa Sweet Oil & Honey Endless Moisture Collection. Simply adorable! “One day you are using your favorite products because you love them and the next day you are using your favorite products and become their newest ambassador at the same time,” the caption read. “Dreams really do come true, if you believe YOU deserve them!” She concluded the caption saying, “I can’t wait to share with you all a BIG surprise!” While The Mane Choice is the young model’s first brand representative contract, she has already caught the attention of a beauty industry icon, Tyra Banks . According to BET, the beauty was offered a potential gig by Banks to audition for her ModelLand amusement park. “I lost my mind,” Tyra said. “ Rihanna looks like Tookie, the lead girl in the ModelLand story. Rihanna, I know you not gonna play Tookie. She might, you never know. But for this, I don’t think I’m necessarily going to get Rihanna for the movie. But I was like, we’re also looking for little girl Tookie. So I was like, that little girl looks like little girl Tookie, because Tookie’s also kind of inspired by me and my story.” Tyra added, “So I just became obsessed with this girl. I was like, ‘Help me! Who is this girl? Like, I want to find this girl and hopefully, possibly she can try out because she’s got to act and do all that stuff, to play little Tookie.” View this post on Instagram So many people said I inspired them today…..that in itself was a dream come true! Such an honor meeting so many beautiful people today and they all left with a smile! My mission is to leave a little sunshine everywhere I go! I have always been an expert selfie talker and today I became an expert usie taker #AlaaSkyy A post shared by Ala’a Skyy (@iambriakay_) on Aug 10, 2019 at 5:38pm PDT   Ala’a is officially booked and busy! The young model is making her rounds just like a working model joining The Mane Choice at Beautycon LA this past weekend. Judging by the amount of love and support she received from fans and a growing Instagram following, her future in the beauty industry is looking very bright. The sky is definitely the limit for the star (pun intended). We can’t wait to see what this young queen has in store for us! Maybe a modeling contract with Wilhelmina or a Fenty Beauty campaign? The possibilities are truly endless!

MODEL MONDAY: Ace Watson Went From Seasonal Cashier To Digital Campaign Star

Read the original post:

Source: Ace Watson / Photo Credit: Ace Watson Name: Ace Watson IG: @delightfulace Agency: Self-Represented Ace Watson might not have spent seasons on the runway, or smizing down from store end caps but she is no newbie. The seasoned makeup artist has been on sets for years collaborating with brands like the The Colored Girl Collective on bold presentations that highlight the beauty of Black women, and being featured in style segments for publications like Essence . Like many creatives in the gig economy she has done that while holding down a job taking advantage of the opportunity to expand her knowledge and practice her craft with a steady paycheck coming in.

Designed to select representatives to be ambassadors for the international beauty conglomerate for one calendar year the competition for a slot was stiff, but Watson never faltered. Shortly after the announcement of this year’s picks she talked to Hello Beautiful about what it took stand out in the crowd of candidates. View this post on Instagram Today I went to the barber @raphy_barber and I asked him to give me a heartbeat design. This is for everyone currently going through the struggle my heart beats for you all. To all the families being affected by new immigration laws I BEAT FOR YOU.. For all my LGBQT family I BEAT FOR YOU. For the misunderstood and under estimated people who constantly try but “fail” don’t EVER give up because my heart BEATS FOR YOU. We are all human, blood runs through all of our veins. Just wanted to let ya know I Love ya!! MY HEARTBEATS FOR HUMANITY #colorgang #thecutlife #immigration #lgbtpride #blackgirlsblondehair #howtonaturalhair #hudabeauty @theofficial_snobbqueen #snobbqueen @naturalgirlsrock #natrualgirlsrock @ionathemua A post shared by Ace- Your Motivational Friend (@delightfulace) on Jun 21, 2018 at 2:40pm PDT Watson credits her success to, “my determination and my no tolerance attitude.” “Fun fact when I first started at Sephora I started as a seasonal cash rep and they wanted to put me on the cash register. I told my manager at the time ‘Look I’m not going to be a cashier I’m going to be on the floor doing makeup and selling makeup, and then I just went in and I proved myself. View this post on Instagram $10 dollar wig Strikes again! I got this at my local Beauty supply store: This cut was inspired by @makeupshayla #makeupshayla @im.zury Sis Wig Diva H-Neyo Hair color: Som Rt Iris #haircolor #siswig #purplehair #trendyhaircolor #zuryhollywood bad! #wigs #weaves #hair #modelmodelhair #syntheticwigs #loveyourself A post shared by Ace- Your Motivational Friend (@delightfulace) on Sep 19, 2018 at 7:27am PDT I proved myself by showing them action as opposed to just telling them what I wanted to do I showed them what I’m capable of doing and that this is how you’re going to use me better.” She took the same approach to securing her place. Practicing for a career in the spotlight through the competition. “I want to work on commercials,” she revealed. Not having formal training didn’t intimidate her. “Skill you can always gain a skill,” she said. “But your unique personality, your unique look, your unique style is what speaks.” She saw doing things like finding her lighting and practicing poses as chance to “stretch me artistically.” She campaigned hard swapping out a portion of her usual inspirational “morning gram” videos for stylized tutorials and photos that showed her ability to represent the brand in static or video format. Now that she has proven her versatility she hopes to use her platform with Sephora to reach a bigger audience so she can inspire more people. “I hope I can make a difference for anyone male, female, Black , white, Asian by letting them know that there’s someone like them out there letting them know that there is someone that’s a representation of them.” Placement in the Sephora Squad will give Watson the opportunity to not only appear in digital advertisements representing the interests of the brand to the everyday person to others it will allow her to advocate for diversity to brand decision makers . She doesn’t yet know how she will speak up for others in the space, but she is making it a priority to continue being her “bold, honest and outgoing,” self. “Sephora is a universal place it’s a universal playground. It opens a lot of fields for me. I want to be a representation for women of color there. This is how I’m going to make an impact by doing what I love.” DON’T MISS: MODEL MONDAY: A Free Plane Ticket Launched Gabby Fé’s Plus Size Modeling Career MODEL MONDAY: HBCU Dancer DaQuendra Elston Never Let Her Size Hold Her Back MODEL MONDAY: Ambre Anderson Went From Staying On A Couch To Owning A Condo By Keeping Focused [ione_media_gallery src=”https://hellobeautiful.com” id=”3054496″ overlay=”true”]
