One thing about Atlanta is that it’s full of celebrities at every turn. Atlantafi.com recently caught up with actress, producer and reality TV star Yandy Smith Harris to learn about Yelle, her skincare line.
Harris shared what motivated her to get into the beauty and cosmetics industry.
Yandy Smith Harris: Yelle Skincare Is Dedicated To Melanin-Rich Skin
“When I started getting on TV that was my first time wearing makeup and my skin really reacted badly to it. I broke out really bad.”
She said that when she went to Sephora to get everything she needed to clear up her skin, the total bill was more than $600.
“I realized the average woman would not be able to afford an all-natural plant-based skincare line that would cost $600 a month,” she said.
“That’s when I decided I wanted to get with a master esthetician and a chemist to create something that was green, that was natural, that was plant-based for the everyday working woman like myself.”
I wanted to make sure that this product was for people with melanin in their skin.”
Where Can You Buy Yelle Skincare?
You can buy Yandy Smith’s skincare products at yelleskincare.com.
The Atlanta hair industry is one of the largest in the Southeast, with more than 8 million people getting groomed each month.

One of the most intriguing and enduring plotlines in all of reality TV is the trials and tribulations of Kirk and Rasheeda Frost of “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta.”
In the span of a couple years, the couple have had to deal with fame, celebrity, infidelity and even a new baby outside of the marriage.
Kirk & Rasheeda: A Love & Hip Hop Atlanta timeline
Kirk and Rasheeda were pretty much like any other couple on “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” when they first appeared on the show.
Then one episode, things got interesting when Kirk started hanging out with Benzino. The next thing you know he was in a hot tub with a few women, one in particular who seemed to relish the attention.
This plotline played out for a whole season and even carried on into the next one, until there were more inklings of cheating from Kirk.
After hanging out with Yung Joc at a bar / club, a young woman claimed to be pregnant with his child. And that became the #1 plotline on #LHHATL.
“What happened at the lake? What do I need to know about?” Rasheeda asked him. “I was drunk,” Kirk responded.
“So you really think this was worth it?” Rasheeda said, herself wholly pregnant.
“Be gone!” she said. And things got to their worst point.
Here is how it all played out on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta:
In the midst of all this, baby Carter is born. Rasheeda’s newborn puts her in a mood to reconcile for the sake of her family.
But then Kirk goes and does a DNA test behind Rasheeda’s back.
“How dare you question my loyalty. I’m over Kirk,” she said. For Kirk’s part, he acknowledges that things have been a little cold at home.
After a while, Kirk knows that he has put his wife through a lot with all the Ashley Nicole drama. But he aims to make it up to her with a new store in Lenox Square mall.
But Kirk starts trippin’ again. This time, baby drama comes up when another girl says she’s pregnant with his baby.
Jasmine lets the cat out of the bag and the confrontation goes down with Yung Joc and Karlie Redd. Karlie then takes it upon herself to meet up with her.
“He moved her into ya’ll’s old building. She’s met Carter and she’s hung out with y’all’s family,” Karlie told Rasheeda.
Of course, Kirk denies it all.
The drama is thick! But then Rasheeda and Jazmine get to talk in the club. Jasmine told her: “I didn’t know what I was destroying … I’ll be the first to say that I wish I would have never did that.”
After the hurt feelings, subsided Kirk and Rasheeda decided to keep rocking. And the show got better.
For the new season, Rasheeda came clean with a shocker: She had cheated on Kirk.
The other castmates seem surprised by this, but Rasheeda lets them know that it was a one-time thing and that she and Kirk were good.
