#NEWPICS: NEW KESHIA CHANTE PROMO PHOTOS

Evening #KCRyders! Stunning new photos of Keshia surfaced on Keshia's social media accounts earlier this evening. The photos show Keshia casually relaxed in a director's chair in cascading raven-tinted curls, barefoot wearing a t-shirt dress. The simplistic nature of the shoot definitely makes us reminiscent of some of the Night & Day Era, "Day" photos shot in her former Toronto abode. Is this a tease? Or does this mean new music on the way? Either way, Keshia looks great!

Keshia Chante's Vlog: Balancing Love and Relationships.

Transcript -

"It's really hard for two people to have a crazy, hectic schedule. And for there to be a lot of pressure publicly and we're both performers. He performs. I perform. In different ways. It can be really difficult and something always have to give, right? I can do my career til I'm old. I can be eighty. I can have a record label, sign artists. I can always be in the music industry, or I can always be singing. Look at Madonna! You can sing forever. Right? But for him, within hockey you can only do hockey for so long. You can only actually play on a team for so long.

So I think something's gotta give. And even though I like to balance career and love, I think there has to be priority at the end of the day. There's always gotta be that one thing that you're always go to and I always pick family. I always pick him. I always pick whatever, wherever he is I go. I gotta turn down certain opportunities so that I have time to stay at home. It's important! Most people, you know it's like "9-5", "Monday-Friday", And you guys are both working the same hours at the same time.

But because we're so different, I have to make a point to make sure it works. He can't control his schedule, but I can. So I'm the one that's gotta give. It's very hard for two people to have crazy careers to make it work. But I think that you can if you're both paying attention to what's going on, you spend a lot of quality time with each other and you communicate."

#KCQUICKNEWS: #WDISH BLOG #14: KC'S SECRETS FROM CELEBRITY MAKEUP ARTISTS

Morning #KCRydersCrew! KC gives her three steps of makeup prep from celebrity makeup artists: Prep, Blend and Glow. With everything from Evan water mist to bamboo brushes and the light up Lumme Iphone case you might of spotted on her Instagram as she was filming the finale of Season 2B of Hockey Wives in Mexico earlier this year. While it does sound a bit repetitive in nature as far as subject matter from   previous blogs that captured that same concept; one thing is for sure if you hear or see something more than once it's worth paying attention to.

#GETLIKEKEESH DIOR "SO REAL" MIRRORED SUNGLASSES

Afternoon #KCRyders! Here's a new glam look-for-less, that we affectionately call "Get Like Keesh". At the end of March, Keshia posted a WDish blog about her favorite spring-must-haves, one of them being these Dior "So Real" Mirrored Sunglasses. Below we'll show you how to get the exact pair, an inexpensive pair and a replica pair.

To get the exact pair Keshia rocks in her gif, you'll have to visit Barneys.com.

The Splurge (Cost $560) - Barneys.com
If you've got the dough, go for it! Barney's.com is a great place to get the exact match that Keshia wore in her gif. Believe it or not Keshia is a die-hard online-shopper and claims that she'll be one forever!

The Inexpensive (Cost $329) - Amazon.com
If you still want the exact pair that Keshia has, but for a lesser price, my go-to fashion fave is Amazon.com of course! Nine times out of ten, Amazon.com has what you're looking for and it's easier to navigate vs having to bid your way to a pair on EBay. But Ebay runs a close second!

The Replica (Cost $7-$20) - Target.com

Target.com (and Target in general) is one of my personal favorites to go to! They've got great replica's of todays current fashion trends for sometimes half or even close to 90% off the actual retail price. Target has mirrored sunglasses ranging between $7 and $20 bucks! Can't beat that!

#TBT: KESHIA COVERS 'SISTER 2 SISTER' MAGAZINE (2014)

(Photo Scan Cred: @koolkidincash93)

In August of 2014, Keshia covered Sister2Sister Magazine with 106 co-host Shad Moss (Bow Wow). In the magazine, she gets a bit more personal with this interview. She talks about her current relationship with NHL goalie Ray Emery, and how they make their relationship work. She also talks about the upcoming "Aaliyah Biopic".

WATCH: KESHIA TALKS BONDING WITH HOCKEY WIVES TO OVERCOME DEPRESSION

Hey #KCRyders! A few days ago, Hockey Wives uploaded a new interview featuring Keshia to their website shot last year. In her VLOG she talks about being an only child growing up, and how she learned to overcome depression along with bonding and developing friendships with her fellow Hockey Wives in the midst of being away from her bf Ray Emery (NHL Goalie - Philadelphia Flyers). Believe it or not, depression is pretty common and a few years ago, Keshia made a post about the Winter Blues stating just that.
