Editorial: Jordin Sparks Body Screams HOT On the Cover of Shape Magazine August Issue

As she prepares to light up the big screen in Sparkle, Jordin Sparks shows of her killer abs on the cover of the latest SHAPE Magazine.  In the mag, she dishes on shedding 4 dress sizes and getting healthier. 

Here is what the 22-year-old entertainer had to share with the mag:

On deciding to change her habits: “I just wanted to be healthy. I remember thinking, ‘I’m in my prime. I should be happy and fit.’ That was the moment I decided that changes needed to be made.”
On her old self: “I knew I had a long road ahead of me. I was barely working out, and my diet was a mess. I had to address when, what, and how much I was eating.”
On losing fifty pounds: “The weight really started falling off, and I could see my muscles. It was awesome.”





WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HER BODY?

The 22 year old make-up artist turned designer who launched his label 9 months ago with his first men’s line, has released the brand’s second collection for men “Sartorial Summer”.

Speaking on his latest ready-to-wear collection targeted at young adults, Olajide said “It’s all about tailored clothes.

We are totally loving this collection which features pop of colors including red, yellow and purple that are not always seen on the every day contemporary Nigerian man but will definitely be good to rock this season as they are very trendy.
