What’s A Fab Girl To Do? Essence Music Festival Edition
If you are heading down to New Orleans for the Essence Music Festival this weekend, here a few fun things to get into when you get tired of two-stepping on Bourbon street:
HoneyMag.com has teamed up with Alberto Culver and W Hotels to bring you hair taming tips from the industry’s top hair stylists, gifts, prizes, and concert tickets at their Bond Over Beauty event. Take the opportunity to pick up some hair tips from the makers of Motions, Soft & Beautiful, and more.
While DJ D Nice handles the music, why not stay and chat with the host of the beauty lounge–Keisha Knight-Pulliam.
The lounge will be open on Friday, July 3 and Saturday, July 4 from 12 to 6 pm at the W Hotel on 333 Poydras Street–so stop by and hang out–in fact, you’ll probably find us there–trying to sneak in a complimentary massage or two or three (you know we are always trying to overdo it lol.)

If this were the perfect delicious life, I’d be able to wake up to a plate beignets from Cafe Du Monde, and a cup of cafe au lait every day. Unfortunately, Cafe Du Monde is a 2 hour flight away, and the cafe au lait would be cold by the time it reached me so a Get ‘Em Girl had to improvise…and here’s what I came up with.
Nola-Style Beignets
