Rickie

Hodges

2011 Muscle Heat Championship Heavyweight 1st Place Winner, Rickie M. Hodges Jr. stops by to let us know how to build an award winning physique.

Rickie Hodges is a native of Fayetteville, NC and in addition to holding titles, he is a

professional competitive bodybuilder, model, and certified personal trainer. Rickie

initially began bodybuilding just to lose weight. At age 22, he topped out at over 300lbs.

He quickly realized that he needed to make a lifestyle change. After 8 years of working out

recreationally, his exercise routine became much more. He felt that he was now ready to

take the stage. “Bodybuilding is not about how much weight you can lift, its about achieving

your best physique– PERIOD.” Rickie’s training technique is comprehensive and encom-

passes a variety of different reps while emphasizing the stretch position of the muscle.

Rickie’s personal motto: Train, Eat, Rest, Grow! His hobbies include traveling, spending

Time with his dog (Ali), reading, modeling, and culinary arts. His favorite colors are black

& purple. Favorite book: The Holy Bible.

In the near future, Rickie plans to ensure that he has made a name for himself in the sport. He would like to specialize in working

with physique athletes. “The gym is where I feel complete. Whenever I enter a gym, I automatically feel as if; this is where I am

suppose to be”. Rickie continues to be an asset to many men and women in the hopes of reaching goals and achieving their

ultimate body transformations. Stay tuned for additional workout routines from Rickie in upcoming issues.

Styles

The Mother…..

The Model…..

The Messenger……..

Simply DelaJouere Fashion Magazine®

In an industry that’s inundated with children and

teens, Simply Dela Jouere Fashion Magazine salutes the

arrival of the age of experience…Ageless Beauty.

Society has been known to subconsciously overlook the

mature population when it comes to beauty, good looks,

and upholding that youthful glow. Often times, disre-

membering the old adage; “everything gets better with

time.” The more mature models have become increas-

ingly visible in the arena of fashion in which, above all

others, youth have long triumphed.

This new visibility of more mature models is part of a

paradigm shift in fashion from fashion fantasy to

fashion wear ability. This is why Simply Dela Jouere

Fashion Magazine features the model, the mother, the messenger, Christy Styles. Christy Styles drives a bold

statement in the fashion industry and makes a demand that anyone with drive, passion, and ambition can achieve

their goals at any age regardless of set traditions. Styles, the 36 year old Maryland native, working mother and

student believes that the word “no” is not in existence.

Styles entered the fashion industry at 15 years old doing runway shows and has continued through decades to

seize the spotlight, rip the runways and mesmerize viewers leaving them in a moment of sheer awe. Super mod-

el, Tyra Banks has inspired Christy Styles to continue in her modeling career. “Tyra Banks is a strong woman

who ceases to quit in her “old” model age of the 30’s,” stated Styles. “I love strong women such as Maya Ange-

lou and Oprah Winphrey. These women show other women that no matter the challenges in life, we can over-

come and be successful.”

Dela Jouere Fashion Magazine is proud to present such an icon of beauty. Christy Styles shows that she is a

woman who embraces the abstract; as she proudly wears a shaven head. When Styles was asked why the shaven

head, her response was: “I was in a barber shop one day and read a flyer that stated “hair day for cancer victims.”

“I asked the barber to shave my head and ironically two weeks after shaving, my father was diagnosed with can-

cer.” Christy sends a message to the world that hair is not needed to be beautiful. Her shaven head states to can-

cer patients as well as those that are not battling cancer to be happy with whom you are.

The model, the mother, the messenger, Christy Styles is a force that cannot be stopped and we applaud her for her

perseverance, “style,” and beauty in today’s fashion industry.

When one steps into Midway Barbershop at 4521 Bragg

Boulevard, nothing extravagant is seen. A first glance, it

gives perceptions as just another place to get a haircut in

Fayetteville. Walk a little further into Travis Fowler's

shop and witness an innovative edge that few spots, if any,

replicate.

Supa-Trav, the owner of Midway, is also the creator of

BeatKuttaz Recording Studio. The fully furnished booth

is located in the back of the barbershop where he works

with artists along with creating instrumentals.

"I actually started making music before I started cutting

hair," Fowler said. "My cousin taught me how to write

rhymes in third grade and I started cutting hair when I was

twelve.

Professionally, being a barber came first before I became a producer. I put it

together because I started thinking about what I had inside of me that I could benefit from. True passion comes from what

you're willing to do without money. If you're willing to follow your dreams, money is going to come and that's what I've

been doing."

Whether cutting hair or mixing down a song, Supa-Trav is very passionate about his work. Customer satisfaction is very

essential to him.

"Customer service is always important," Supa-Trav said. "You're letting someone know that they're getting a good product

whether it's a haircut or a CD. When it goes out of the room it's going to represent me and I want repeat customers."

Supa-Trav also has a television studio on Time Warner Cable Channel 7 called "Turn It Up With Supa-Trav". As a result,

those who work with him musically have the opportunity to get their songs featured on the station. At the same time,

Fowler encourages aspiring artists to look beyond their area.

"If your state of mind is just the city you live in, you won't go far," Fowler said. "Your talent is bigger than the area that

you're in whether it's here, New York, London, or wherever. "Your talent is bigger than that."

Fowler is currently working on projects by Deebo, GMG, and Quarter Key. He is also in the process of working on a solo

project entitled "Humble King". To view Supa-Trav’s work, go to Youtube and type "Beatkuttaz" in the search engine or

simply come to Midway.

If your state of mind is

just the city you live in, you

Everyone sees it, your wife sees it,

your husband sees it, and you can’t

hide it… so why not make your im-

pression a lasting one??? What are

we talking about? Your face!

“Facial skin”… how do you keep it

healthy, radiant and appealing to the

touch?

The “key” to healthy skin is to con-

sider what you are putting in your

body.

Garbage in…garbage out. A

healthy diet is vital. Eat foods that are

good for you and do not overindulge in

sweets and treats. Stick to vegetables and

fruits and minimize fatty fried foods.

Bake or broil your food using olive oil or

oil sprays.

Exercise, exercise and exercise again.

This is a good component to skin care.

Regular workouts keep the skin toned and

perspiring aids in eliminating toxins.

Water cannot be overemphasized. Drink

at least the recommended eight 8-ounce

glasses of water a day.

The face is the very initial contact be-

tween you and others. So, let’s look at

the basics of proper facial skin care:

Step 1: Properly cleanse your face with a

facial cleanser. Please be sure to use a

facial cleanser and not a “body” cleanser.

Cleansers should be free of fragrance and

gentle on your skin. There are various

types of facial cleansers for different skin

types. Dry skin types generally respond

better to a non-soapy cleanser since soap

is very drying. Oily skin does better with

a soapy cleanser. When you find a

cleanser that your skin responds very

well with, “stick to it.” Cleanse your

skin once in the morning and then at

night before bed in order to rid of cos-

metics and daily grime. If you use wash-

cloths or sponges, make sure to wash and

replace them frequently to prevent an

overgrowth of germs and bacteria.

Step 2: Use a toner. Toner should

be used after cleansing and patting

your skin dry. Apply toner on

your face with a cotton ball or pad.

A good toner will clear your skin

of leftover dirt, make-up, oil,

chemicals and minerals that have

been left behind after cleansing.

Toning helps to minimize pores

and balance the ph level of your

skin.

Step 3: Moisturize, moisturize,

moisturize! Most people feel as

though they should not moisturize

their skin because it will make the

skin oily. It is indeed the drying of

the skin that forces the skin’s natu-

ral response to produce more oil.

Moisturizing is the key to keep

your skin looking young. A moist-

urizer seals in moisture on the skin

and acts as a barrier against air-

borne toxins, pollutants and bacte-

ria. Apply the moisturizer of your

choice on the face after the toner

has completely dried.

Additional Tips for Facial Skin

Care:

Exfoliate 2-3 times weekly. Ex-

foliating clears off the dead

skin cells from the face in or-

der for the healthy skin cells to

be revealed. This process

causes the skin to look young-

er and brighter. You can use

exfoliating gloves or an exfoli-

ating facial cleanser to get this

effect. Simply lather the

cleanser on the gloves and rub

the face in a circular motion.

¨ Keep your hands and other objects

off of your face! Germs are

everywhere and the fewer

germs on your face the less acne

outbreaks you will experience.

Change your pillowcase at least

once a week. The pillowcase

catches germs, oil, and dirt and

rubbing the face in this while

snoozing could create a Zit

Nightmare!

Consider wearing hair styles with

the hair up and away from your

face if you have frequent out-

breaks on the forehead. Oily

hair against the skin can cause

acne.

You only get one skin outfit for

your entire life! So, treating it well

is extremely important. Learning

how to properly care for your skin

can help reduce the signs of aging,

clear acne and blemishes and give

you confidence to smile wide when

you step into a room. See more

skin care tips in the next edition of

Simply Dela Jouere.

On the Rise with Mayor Chris Rey

Chris V. Rey, 34, is the youngest elected Mayor of Spring Lake, North Caroli-

na, the third largest municipality in Cumberland County.

Elected on November 8, 2011 with a clear mandate for change, Mayor Rey has

begun implementing his bold vision for the town upon his assumption of office

on December 12, 2011. Spring Lake’s mission is to set a national standard for

rural/suburban transformation by marshaling its resources to achieve security,

economic abundance and an environment that is nurturing and empowering for

individuals and families.

Chris grew up in Spring Lake. He attended Spring Lake public schools and

graduated from Pine Forest High School as a track and field All-American in

1995. He then earned a full athletic scholarship to East Carolina University.

Appointed for Greatness

Chris’ capacity for leadership was manifested through his works while

matriculating at East Carolina. As a determined student leader, he vigorously

worked to transform his university into a more open and diverse epicenter for

higher learning. As a result, the University often recognized his leadership and campus involvement.

In 2000, Chris exhibited the most selfless act of service when he enlisted into the United States Army as a Computer Infor-

mation

Technology Analyst. After two short years, Chris, an Officer Cadet School Graduate, was commissioned a Second Lieutenant

in the Signal Corps. Thereafter, he was deployed to Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom followed by deployment to Afghani-

stan during Operation Enduring Freedom. After being afforded the opportunity to strengthen his leadership skills with the en-

tire world as his backdrop, Chris returned home to Fort Bragg to command the Third Special Forces (Airborne) Signal Detach-

ment. His service and leadership in the armed forces earned him numerous military awards and accolades including the

Bronze Star.

After nearly eight years of active military service, Chris was honorably discharged and began studies at William and Mary

School of Law, the nation’s oldest legal institution. Upon graduating in 2010, Chris returned back home to Spring Lake to do

his part to serve his community.

Chris currently serves as the Strategic Planner and Policy Director of the Information Technology Division of the Virginia Na-

tional Guard as a federal employee. He also serves as President and CEO of C2Vision, LLC., a strategy firm focused on

growth and

development for small businesses.

Mayor Rey holds a B.S. in Business Administration from Walden University, a Juris Doctor Degree from William & Mary

School of Law and he is currently pursuing his Doctoral Degree in education from Capella University. Mayor Rey is also a

proud member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., 100 Black Men of America, American Bar Association, National Bar Asso-

ciation, and the Kiwanis Club.

How a Gentleman dresses and looks is obviously

important, but what defines his Style? The Gentlemen we

consider the best dressed does not typically wear clothing

that we remember....It's how he wears the clothing that

sticks in our mind, he merely seems to put it together

well........ His Style is often defined by His confidence,

which some are born with and others acquire over time....

it's a confidence not in what he is wearing , but rather in

who he is......

In other words Style without Substance is meaningless.
