I’ve written about my hair several times, about wanting to change the style or the color. And it’s that time of the year where I’m ready to change it up again. So what do I have in mind? Well, I’ve been doing some reading to find out what the hair color trends are for this Fall 2016. Of course, rose gold tones are really on-trend right now. This color looks great on blondes who are looking to try something a little different. For those of us with darker hair tones, you will want to make an appointment with your stylist to achieve […]
Be Yourself & Find the Beauty Within
Coco Chanel knew a thing or two about beauty. During her life, she designed some of the most beautiful clothing. But the thing I really love about Coco Chanel is her wonderful words of wisdom, such as the gem below. I challenge you to look for the beauty within by deciding to be yourself.

On a couple of occasions, her birthday was actually on Mother’s Day (talk about special)! Since Mother’s Day is this coming weekend (May 8th), you better shake a leg and buy or make a […]
How to Use Oils in Your Beauty Routine
I’ve been using coconut oil, argon oil, and grapeseed oil in my beauty routine for years, but these oils have been used in beauty routines for centuries. My husband just recently joined Pinterest and one of the first things he discovered on Pinterest was how oils could help moisturize his itchy beard. He had me run to the store and to Sally’s Beauty Supply to pick up a combination of grapeseed, jojoba, and almond oils. I already had coconut oil (because I cook with it) and Josie Maran’s argon oil (which I picked up on sale from QVC). You can mix […]
