Follow me on Instagram to see these in real time. Come back here every Sunday -or sometimes Saturday, for all the details. A little more ink yesterday with the husband at Sacred Elements… after a little over a year, we finally got our LeRoy tattoos. Though mine is not an actual semblance of him. I …
Today I’ve partnered with P&G and ULTA and by using products from COVERGIRL, Olay Regenerist, and Pantene, I’ve created a super fun and bright POP! inspired look for the red carpet. I love the way it turned out and I hope you do too. It’s a simple look to create on your own but one …
Every now and again i think about cutting my bangs, as you probably do if you are a woman and don’t have bangs. Because that’s what we do, right? I love the idea of bangs but then I always remember the upkeep and the maintenance and the styling and the way the wind blows them …
I know, I know… Winter JUST started. Actually, it’s not even technically here just yet, but suddenly I’m dreaming of warm summer nights and pretty bikinis and sexy coverups. I just can’t help it. I found all these dreamy boho summer looks at Nic del Mar {specifically from the lookbook} and couldn’t resist sharing. It’s …
Finally, the most iconic of Elsa‘s looks, her Snow Queen big, voluminous French braid… which, admittedly, was a teensy bit harder than I had first anticipated, because I’ve French braided my hair hundreds of times over my lifespan… oaky, maybe only dozens of times, but still – a French braid is a French braid. But …
While at first I was only going to do the “after -letting it go” Elsa costume and hair tutorial from Disney’s Frozen, in the furry of finding the right dress for the other, I accidentally found a dress that would indeed work for Elsa’s “before – letting it go” look, and couldn’t help whipping up …
Though I rarely watch videos anymore, the MTV VMA‘s are still one of my favorite award shows to watch, and I don’t think there’s a year I’ve missed since it started. I grew up with MTV, waiting at my VCR to press record so I could have all my favorites on hand for beauty and …
I never really got into the Milkmaid braids trend. I dunno, I think it was something about the title that turned me off. Also, in the past, it was more saved for little girls and old grannies, so I never felt it totally age appropriate, but I’m sure if done right, it looks nice and …
I rarely share hair tutorials that aren’t my own… but this popped up in my inbox the other day and since it’s a style I’ve never personally done to my own hair, I learned a little something reading through it and thought you might too. I still find video tutorials easier to learn from than …

Joico has launched a “Picture Me On Vacation” sweepstakes in honor of the newly-launched e-commerce site, Loxa Beauty, to give both one of my lucky readers AND their stylist a dream vacation getaway!

Just snooping around for a little hair inspiration lately, as I’m a bit bored with my default waves and curls, I found this great resource, Vogue’s Guide to Fall 2014 Beauty Trends, and though I flipped through about 86 of their hair, makeup, and other beauty trends, I found these to be the stand-outs. …
This post is brought to you by John Frieda… all opinions are my own! A few years ago, after decades of using cheap drugstore blowdryers and ending up with dry, straw-like hair, I finally splurged on an “expensive” hair dryer. Of course it’s all relative, but I spent over $100 on a new dryer and …
A few months ago I was sent Color Wow Root Cover Up {temporary hair color/powder} to try out and I’ve been sort of waiting for my roots to grow out to really give it a proper test. And now’s that time! As I’ve probably mentioned a hundred times since 2007 when I started this blog, …
