Enjoi Lux and Kami Cosmetics Presents The Glam Room

Enjoi Lux anfd Kami Cosmetics Presents The Glam Room event was held on Sunday, June 5th at Studio 450, at 450 West 31st Street.

Enjoi Lux merged glamour and empowerment into a 1 day fashion & beauty experience celebrating the drive and determination of today's woman. By adding a touch of GLAM to a day of beauty and inspiration, attendees had an opportunity to hear tips and tricks of the trade from a panel of industry influencers while shopping and enjoying sips and treats. 

The GLAM panelists included Kyrzayda Rodriguez, from Style Network's "Glam Fairy," Brooklyn's Dollhouse owner, Chyna Russell, top yoga expert in New York City, Kat Fowler and hair & beauty editor, Deena Campbell. The panel was moderated by multimedia beauty and wellness journalist, Grace Gold. 

The panelists shared their own challenges. Since Instagram posts make everything look so perfect, Chyna struggles with being able to show her vulnerable side on social media, and she's been able to connect with her followers in that way through Facebook Live, as they get a glimpse into her home life and being a mom. Kyrzayda told us how she quits everyday, but then picks herself up and keeps going, and to always put your best foot forward, even when you are tired. For Kat, being a freelancer, is challenging since you don't have the stability of a normal job and end up having to deal with a lot of rejection. It'd important to believe in yourself when things don't go your way, and remember to tell yourself this is who you are and what you do and you're here for a reason. Make sure you are being clear on your purpose and mission. 

When asked who they take inspiration from, Chyna said her clientele, as she really tries to understand what it is they would like to achieve. Kyrzayda takes inspiration from her followers and their comments, as well as bloggers that she follows. They also talked about how important collaborations are, and how it's a great way to grow and learn something new from each other.

MTV's Teen Wolf Panel at New York Comic Con 2013

During the "Teen Wolf" panel at New York Comic Con on Saturday, October 12th, it was announced that the hit series will be returning for a fourth season in 2014 with 12 new episodes. Additionally, MTV will debut the new talk show "Wolf Watch" set to air weekly after each "Teen Wolf" episode. The highly anticipated second half of "Teen Wolf" season three will begin on Monday, January 6, 2014 at 10pm ET.

"Wolf Watch" will be hosted by Jill Wagner, who plays "Kate Argent" in "Teen Wolf." The half-hour talk show will give fans more insight into the series, covering topics ranging from the heavy mythology elements featured in the season, to the steamy romances and hilarious bromances that run rampant between the series' supernatural high-schoolers. The series will include guest appearances by "Teen Wolf" cast members sharing behind-the-scenes secrets and celebrity super fans will also drop in to get some of the answers viewers crave from week to week. 

The panel featured on-screen son and father duo "Stiles" and "Stilinski" played by Dylan O'Brien and Linden Ashby, as well as Executive Producer Jeff Davis, and moderated by TV Guide Magazine Senior Writer, Damian Holbrook. 

During the panel, we got a sneak peek at a really eerie clip, showing us that there's going to be more of a supernatural tone. Dylan O'Brien also named his jeep Roscoe during the panel, so we'll see if that actually gets written into the show. It was also said that Peter has more of a manipulative role and will get a taste of his own medicine and Stiles loses a certain status this season. What really had us thinking was when Jeff Davis mentioned "Not everyone was making it out alive."
