The Life Changing Brazilian Blowout

By Kate Valancy

Although I get compliments on my hair, there is nothing naturally beautiful about it.  It takes lots of time, expensive products and years of accumulated skill to get a decent hairstyle.  After I take a shower, my hair looks like this:

Scary.  And as dramatic as it sounds, having hair this unruly can be [...]

Things That I’ve Tried

By Sheila Arkee

Ladies, I am exhausted. I am in the process of moving (mostly by myself), and it is major work! It’s been tough, and so to reward myself I’m having a spa night tonight. A facial mask. A movie. Ice cream. It’s on.

It’s also a little time for me, which is something that doesn’t happen [...]

Make-up Therapist

By Ilana Weiner

I’ve known the power of make-up to transform your mood for a very long time. It happened to me for the first time when I was sixteen and going to a winter formal. I didn’t have the first clue how to apply make-up. My mom, bless her heart, was totally useless in this [...]

However, I must admit that I like hearing about the hidden heros that don’t get nearly enough love as they deserve. You know, those [...]

Beauty School: Wedding Hair

By Ilana Weiner

Remember that last post about me being a lazy makeup artist? I’m even worse at doing my own hair. I can’t be bothered for some reason. Unless it takes 10 minutes.  The funny thing is that now that I’m a make-up artist, I’m also required to do hair on occasion. And the funnier [...]

Megan Meets Dustin Hunter

By Megan Murray

I could go on a tangent about Dustin Hunter and how truly awesome he is. Fortunately for you he made this music video entitled “Chicken at M*A*C” so you can better understand my love for this YouTube celebrity. 

Ok…I am going to warn you, you will sing this alllllllll day.

Dustin Hunter, a [...]
