I chopped ALL my hair off — NO LYE
Let’s start at the beginning. In April, I decided it was way too hot to apply more heat to my tresses. Standing in my bathroom under my vanity light sweating like a pig in a sauna. It was just unproductive. I would have to wait at least 30 minutes to cool down before I could apply my face. To top...
Styled Straight vs Curly
Back in April 2011 I shared that I was considering going back to my natural hair with plans to eventually do the CHOP! I even gave tips for folks struggling with the transition. Looks like I need to take my own advice now because I feel the struggle!

TWITTER BEEF: BLOGGERS vs MAKEUP ARTISTS
If you’re on your blogger game then you’ve already read my last blog post about the beauty bloggers who were selected to create a collection for MAC Cosmetics.

HAIR IT IS!
This week for our Friend Friday post we’re discussing our hair. And how we care for it. Ahhh, my grey tresses! Oh how I love thee but you are not loving me back right now. Although I get many compliments on the color and style on most days I am not quite as happy with...
INTERVIEW: CELEBRITY MAKEUP ARTIST, SAM FINE
Late night girl chat, dewy misty hair, and wet feet does not put you in the mood for an interview. But knowing THE Sam Fine was waiting for me and I was the first to interview him I had no time to show my emotions. After tip toeing in the rain with my ballerina flats...
The Makeup Show NYC 2011
Makeup, seminars, workshops, and the top artists in the world – what more could a beauty lover ask for? Perhaps and interview with celebrity makeup artists Sam Fine and Billy B. Yes I interviewed them both. And that was just a small highlight of my weekend. The Makeup Show is the only all pro trade show around...
5 Ways to Transition to Natural Hair
I’ve been thinking about transitioning my hair to its natural curly waves for a while. Each September, after the summer heat finally disappears and my roots calm down, I reminisce about my childhood wavy locs. I’ve always classified myself as semi-natural. Meaning, since I can remember I’ve only had a relaxer treatment 2 maybe 3 times...
I Spy a SPA WEEK: April 11-17th
Next to Fashion Week, Spa Week is the greatest week ever (and trust me it’s ranks as a close second)! An entire week of pampering for just $50. If you’ve ever been to the spa you know that some of these services can cost anywhere from $100 to $500 so a trip to the spa...
ARE YOU IN THE MOOD?: Color Changing Nail Polish
Beauty, like fashion, changes at the drop of a dime and apparently so does your nail polish. In the Mood nail polish changes color when heated to 91 degrees Fahrenheit. In case you didn’t know, our normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees but our fingertips are a bit cooler. Thus explaining why my hand/tips are always...
