Brandivo Saving the World Through Laughter and Fried Chicken






Media entrepreneur, life coach, and professional foodie Brandon Gillespie has began to change the world through inspirational videos.






A 27 year-old Dallas Native, Gillespie is now becoming more aggressive through self promotion in order to reach a broader audience. Inspired by people and their stories he began interviewing people and letting their voices be heard through the camera."I want people to laugh and also take away encouragement and a little hope". Gillespie said






In 2011 Gillespie wants to be bigger and bolder. He wants to take it further beyond his channel by becoming more personable by sharing stories that he's discussed with close friends and family to reach every walk of life in America and plans on tackling topics that he's not spoken on publicly. "I want to work to marry all aspects of my personality for my audience after all I want them to see what people around me see everyday a mess". Gillespie said







Not planning his videos has made Gillespie's channel more endearing which lures in fans and faithful viewers. Whether its through radio, videos, or on his website Branivo wants to spread his voice on multiple platforms and inspire people to live better lives. "Better living starts with a laugh" Gillespie said.

Product Review: CoverGirl NatureLuxe Foundation




CoverGirl NatureLuxe foundation provides an adequate amount of coverage which is rare to find in a drugstore product.




The creamy liquid foundation goes on smooth and locks in place all day. To set this foundation I use CoverGirls Queen Ebony setting pressed powder with my Kabuki brush.




The shade that I use is "Brazilnut" I was not so sure about it, but it blended right into my CoverGirl Queen "Sheer Expresso" without that visible foundation line which is quite dreadful.




I would recommend this product for anyone who is looking for a light weight foundation that's creamy and not runny and is looking for something that fits their budget. It may not be the foundation for you if you're the kind of person who wants full coverage. I would say just give it a try because who wouldn't want to be easy, breezy, beautiful, CoverGirl!

Hair Talk With Chris Whitaker


Intrigued with hairstyling since he started to style his sisters hair at age 12, Dallas native Chris Whitaker dreams big and that his hands will lead him to working in Paris and all over the world.


Recent graduate from Ogle school of beauty, and hair Whitaker was motivated to become apart of the hair industry by his Aunt. He's a flexible hairstylist and has been taught to work with Caucasian hair and ethnic hair. "That just makes me more valuable as a hairstylist, I'm very open to anyone" Whitaker said. He provides his clients with tips to maintain their hair until the next appointment with him.


When it comes to maintaining a healthy head of hair Whitaker provides the following:


- Know the right products to use that works best for your hair


- If you decide to bleach your hair and you get a few highlights, or highlights all over prepare your hair by getting it to its most healthiest point.


- Deep condition your hair two weeks in advance since bleach strips the hair of everything.


- After your hair has been bleached deep condition it so it won't look dry and lifeless.


- If you use heat on your hair use a heat protector.


Very product conscious Whitaker recommends Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree shampoo and conditioner. 'It makes my hair feel fresh and clean plus it smells great" Whitaker said.


In the future Whitaker is planning that his skills will lead him to major fashion shows such as Victoria's Secret, and prominent fashion designers during Fashion Week in New York City. Already a major name in Dallas this is only beginning for him.
