Sparkles and red for the holidays!
Glamazons,
As you can see, the holidays are my favorite time of year. But they’ve been kind of difficult lately given the loss of my grandmother. This trying time in my life made me think about people who have been super supportive to me, the people that I’m most grateful for that I want to just shower with gifts this season as a small token of my appreciation. And the first person that came to mind was my friend Seto McCoy.
Just Seto and I hanging out with Tatyana Ali. Gag.
If you follow me on Instagram, you know that Seto is my go-to hairstylist and he’s the sole reason my hair has looked fab all year long. Seriously, he’s a magician! With him, I’ve been able to not only rock amazing styles, but my hair has grown tremendously because he takes such great care of it.

But that’s just the beginning. Seto has become one of my greatest friends and confidants. He’s a wonderful addition to my life and to the life of everyone who has the privilege of knowing him.
He’s so positive and uplifting, a complete joy to be around. He has this way of instantly lifting my mood, no matter how my day has been. Seto never lets me wallow in self-pity but reminds me of all the things I have to be thankful for. Whenever we’re together, you can find us laughing or joking about something. If I didn’t have him in my corner the days after my grandma passed, I don’t know what I would have done. I truly enjoy our long talks that last into the wee hours of the morning, and I love that I can totally be myself with him without judgment.
Plus he knows how to talk me off a ledge. When I was super stressed producing the #WeAreBlackHistory shoot or the #NolaCrawl event for Style Influencers Group, he knew just what to say to encourage me. I can always count on him to support me through a tough time, and I try to do the same for him.

For all these reasons and more, Seto deserves all my support and love. Since he recently moved into a new [beautiful] place, I decided to surprise him with home decor! We both enjoy decorating our homes and making it look like something out of The Coveteur (and Seto‘s really good at it…which is not surprising because he can do everything). So I knew exactly what to get him.
Since I have a lot of friends and family to shop for, I wanted to go to a one-stop shop where I could pick up gifts for lots of people at once, and Sears fit the bill. I shopped from the convenience of my phone (don’t you love technology?!) using the new Sears app. I’m quick to delete an app that’s confusing, slow to load, etc. The Sears app was surprisingly convenient and straightforward.
I bought Seto‘s gifts using the app. And because I wanted to get them ASAP (instead of waiting forever and a day for shipping) I tried out their In-Vehicle service. It lets Shop Your Way members pick up, return or exchange their online purchases for free – in five minutes or less – without ever leaving the car. To be honest, Glamazons, I didn’t believe they could even pull it off until I tried it. We never stepped out the car (a PLUS in this cold) and got the items in no time.
Seto was so happy to get his gift. Check out his reaction below:
Aww, love him! He’s one of those thoughtful people that’s always doing for others and never expecting anything in return. So I loved hooking him up for the holidays!
And I want to give you guys the chance to gift someone who matters in your life for the holidays! I’m giving away a $50 gift card to Sears to one lucky reader. Fill out the code below to enter:

I would use this to buy my daughter Brianna a beautiful new dress. She is deserving because she just entered Junior HIgh and its been a really rough transition for her. She’s been homeschooled for years and all of a sudden there are all these cliques and she doesnt feel like she fits in anywhere. I keep trying to tell her, don’t try to fit in. Find people who like you for who you are. She’s trying.
I would get my husband some new working clothes, he works hard and supports our family, totally deserves the treat.
I would give it to my husband because he works so hard to take care of us.
I would gift this to my sister because she is a terrific single Mom who sacrifices every day for her two kids and she needs to get a nice gift from me to help her out during the Holidays!!
I would give it to my husband because he works hard and deserves a good gift
I would buy something for my Mother with the gift card, probably a nice blouse or perfume.
I would give this to my Dad. He had a rough year. He was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma (a fairly rare blood cancer) last year and had a bone marrow transplant this summer. We just got the news that he is in remission. We are all so happy and he is living life with a new outlook these days. Sears is his favorite store and I would love to give him a gift card to shop with!
I would give this to my friend from college. She had a baby 3 weeks ago and I know she could use this!
I would give this to my boyfriend. He doesn’t have a lot of extra right now especially around Christmas time. I’d love for him to buy something for himself for once
I would gift it to my best friend who’s had a hard year. xoxo
I would gift this to my son because he helps me each day and brightens each day.
