Livvi Loves... MAC Makeup

JANUARY 9, 2010, 7:00 pm

"I love MAC products. I wear a lot of their makeup. They have great eye shadows and eye shimmers. I really like the pink MAC Lip Glass in Steppin’ Out. It's a shimmery light pink, and it smells like vanilla!" —Livvi Franc

Livvi Loves... Popcorn!

DECEMBER 23, 2009, 1:42 am
If I know one thing about Livvi, it's that she is obsessed with popcorn! Plain, caramel flavored, you name it... Livvi loves it. Her fave is sweet kettle corn. "They have kettle corn at the movie theaters in England," Livvi tells me. "I love popcorn, I'll even pick out the popcorn-flavored Jelly Beans. I have to have popcorn when I’m at the movies. If I’m on a diet and can’t have it, I just won’t go to the movies!" Check out this yummy holiday recipe for Popcorn Balls. If you make 'em, be sure to comment with your pics... and send some to Livvi! ♥SLL

Songwriting

SEPTEMBER 24, 2009, 3:45 pm

In case you didn't know, Livvi writes just about all of her songs. She even co-wrote "Walking On Snow" for Jordin Sparks' latest album! "I take a lot of pride in my songwriting," Livvi admits to LivviFranc.com. "I write from personal experience; it's something that comes from deep inside of me. I want people to know that when I write a song, it’s something special. It comes from my heart."

American Apparel

AUGUST 21, 2009, 6:06 pm

In case you haven't noticed, Livvi kinda LOVES American Apparel. But can ya blame her? It's affordable, high quality and pretty much anyone can rock the styles. We recently spoke with Liv to get to the bottom of her obsession, and our girl was more than willing to dish!

Why so obsessed with American Apparel?
I love it because the clothes are very simple. You can get anything you want and put it all together to make a hot outfit. It's inexpensive, but it always looks great.

Do you have a favorite item?
Their mini dresses!!! I love those. Also, my dancers wear their little mesh leotards. Their stuff is great for performances.

Do you have any fashion tips for peeps who want to check out the store?
Yeah, they just have so many styles and colors, so you can really mix and match. Be individual with it. Layering pieces is the best way to do it.

To score Livvi's look above, check out American Apparel's Double U-Neck Mini Dress. At only $38, go on and pick one up in every color! ♥

Macaroni Pie

JUNE 23, 2009, 3:47 pm

Can I say MEGA yum yum factor!!! This is a Bajan classic... an exotic twist to a traditional mac 'n' cheese. I learned this recipe by observing my Barbadian family in the kitchen and picked up on it pretty fast. It's a sort of a "measure by eye" recipe but I'll try and narrow it down for you... just taste as you go along and it'll be tha shizzle!!

Ingredients:
1 pack macaroni pasta
3-4 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 cup evaporated milk
2 tbsp kechup
2 tsp yellow mustard
1 tsp hot pepper sauce
1 tbsp grated/ pureed onion (toss it in a blender)
