WE RUN THE WORLD

We as women sometimes forget the power we have when we support each other. It is unfortunate that some women feel threatened by other women’s accomplishments, when in fact

they should feel inspired and uplifted. My hope is that we learn to embrace each other and collectively realize the strength of our Sisterhood.

In honor of Black History Month and Women’s History Month, we were inspired by the many black women in the beauty industry who paved the way for us. We celebrate Sisterhood, Women’s Empowerment and Entrepreneurship with a special collection of beauty products from brands owned by or inspired by women of color. This month’s box is devoted to products that will keep you beautified from head to toe! You will find a facial serum with special spot perfecting properties, an organic leave in hair conditioner, a gentle cleanser for your face and body, an incredibly scented moisturizing hand cream, and last but not least a concealer formulated for hiding imperfections on your feet and toes. We hope that you love them all and add them to your Ultimate Beauty Arsenal!

Last but not least, please check out our digital COCOTIQUE Magazine. We hope you enjoy our COCOBelle of the Month interview with the incredible singer/songwriter Alice Smith, as well as our features and articles on beauty and style from our team of editors. We love getting your feedback, so please reach out on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!

xo,

Dana Hill Founder & CEO

MEET ALICE SMITH Singer/SongwriterRaised between Washington, DC and Augusta, Georgia on a musical diet of genres ranging from gospel, pop, soul and go-go, Alice Smith seems to have been destined to become a soulful singer, songwriter and producer. With her 4-octave vocal range, she has created an intoxicating sound that continually leaves listeners wanting more. Her critically acclaimed debut album, For Lovers, Dreamers & Me, was released in 2006 and generated a Grammy nomination in the Best Urban/Alternative category for single “Dream”; followed by her sophomore album, “She”, released in March 2013, which features hits like “Cabaret” and “Ocean”.

We are excited to have Alice as our COCOBelle of the Month. We sat down with her and talked about how her love of music began, from where she draws inspiration, and how she maintains such flawless skin while on tour.

Where and how did your love of music begin? It started early, (with) listening to the radio with my family and singing around the neighborhood. I used to hold a brush and sing along in the mirror to New Edition and Wham. My family also managed a gospel group in Georgia. When I stayed at my grandmother’s there, which was a lot, they rehearsed in the basement.

How did you get started in the industry and where do you hope to ultimately end up? It just kind of happened, I didn’t plan it. I got started in music in college, met somebody who knew somebody — and started singing background in NY while I was in college. It organically grew from there. Then I met Clarence Greenwood from Citizen Cope. He said, “The major labels need to know who know who you are”. He walked me in to different labels and I ended up getting a deal. I don’t have any idea where I may end up. I’m trying to enjoy the process — get to that place where I’m not trying to make it into something else. Just trying to go with it and be grateful for the chance to do it. That’s something I had to learn: gratitude. That makes the rest happen. Start with that and the rest flows.
