I wore a more relaxed version of this hair style in an outfit post in June of 2009 but for reasons unbeknownst to me, I never did a tutorial for it. Recently though, a few of my lovely readers have asked for it …so here it is. Enjoy! If you can’t see the video go …
Just an easy two-step manicure that ramps up your shimmer polish by simply beginning with a matte polish in a similar hue underneath. Keep a nail out for an accent if you’d like. This rich grayish blue hue with shimmer makes my nails look like black pearls and I love it! It’s the perfect Fall …
What started out as a relatively under control-smallish spiral curled afro {for this “playing dress up” post in December 2008} …slowly became bigger and bigger and BIGGER by the end of the night. I imagine if I had used a hair pickon it or even my fingers to sort of pull it out more, it …
Sometimes a cheap Halloween wig works and sometimes it doesn’t. And sometimes you just need some extra oomph in your own hair by adding extensions vs wearing an entire wig… which is what I needed but didn’t want to spend a fortune on real extensions for a costume. So I got busy tearing up a …
One of my absolute favorite hairstyles is the messy/loosely curled, just above shoulder length, bob. It reminds me of Cybill Shepherd from the 80’s, specifically in one of my favorite movies Chances Are. {It also reminds me of my mom :} And every time I grow my hair out I want to chop it off …

I realized that in my singing haze yesterday that I forgot some essential sneaky beauty tricks and decided to just create an entirely new post dedicated to all. Organic Olive Oil Hair Sheen Spray: I don’t actually use this on my hair. Not because it’s not great but because any shine product just makes my …
I went to four different wig shops yesterday afternoon until I finally found the perfect bangs at Naimie’s Beauty Center …which just happens to be the closest to my house and the last place I went. I am in love!
Nowhere {in my opinion} is there such a blatant lie in advertising than in mascara commercials. Their use of fake eyelashes to demonstrate how lustrous your lashes would be if you used their mascara is like a slap in the face to me. There is not one brand that can be singled out because they …
Reasons why I’m not rushing to the salon . . . via: Just Jared via: Knight Cat via: Being Red via: AskMen.com via: Celebrity Clothing Line I’m liking the idea of just getting a few blonde streaks painted on the front {like Gisele’s} and then maybe a couple more throughout. …like this maybe. via: Garance …
The video below is me demonstrating how I get a perfect wave with my curling iron. I also use the entire iron, wrapping my hair around the clamp as well. Disclaimer: the first video I shot {which really showed my hair before; straight, unbrushed} was corrupt. I tried it over and over again {thus my …
