Passing it on:: What's hot in fashion news :: Chanel

Since I was a little girl I loved all things fabulous.
I cried to wear dresses, I always carried a purse (paper/pencil/pen for my sketches, my lip gloss and peppermints. a girl was always prepared!..lol ) and my dolls hair was slammin!!..  =)

That said, I'm girly. No denying that! So to all my fellow girly girls and fashion enthusiast, could you image growing up and getting a contract to carry Chanel bags and take pics? What!!?? People are really getting paid to live like this.. Jealous!!..Fabulous makeup, silks and chiffons to die for and bags!.. Bags as far as the eye can see.  
As if having access to the Gossip Girl wardrobe wasn't enough Blake Lively is living this fashion girls dream. The G-Girl star is the new face of Chanel  handbags!.. Consider me a hater.. =)  lol. JK of course. But, how Awesome!!!

I'm just still dreaming about if I were Blake... Walking on clouds I say, Walking on clouds..  :)

I wish Blake the best and I'm excited to see what the new Chanel promos will look like, Can't wait! Love it!

The Curly Girls Guide to Going Natural:: Don't be Afraid of the Kitchen

LOL. No pun intended.

 So you've decided to grow out your relaxer/chemical straighteners and embrace the volume nature gave you? Kudos to you!
No one said it'd be easy but anything worth having takes some work and loving care. Why would it be different for your hair?  :)

I've been moved to start this series on my beauty blog to constantly give you girls pick me ups and hopefully introduce a new way to keep your tresses tame and manageable.
Today's pick won't warrant a trip to the local superstore or beauty supply, its right in your kitchen cabinet!.. Olive Oil!.. Who doesn't love olive oil? its in that great body butter your use, that face cleanser that your love that leaves your skin soft and full of natural healthy oils.. Well Ladies, go straight to the source!!

After you finished that slammin' dinner grab that bottle and make a move to the sink to scrub up your tresses and give them a good soak of some warm Olive Oil. Especially on a day full of cleaning and fixing up your house give it some time to soak in under a plastic cap and you won't be disappointed. 





Olive Oil has to be my fav because its the most versatile of the home hair care treatments. We all have different hair types so there's no definite path to chemical freedom that can be given for each and every one of us. We'll all have to adjust our regimens according to how our specific hair responds. But, Olive Oil is one of those things that crosses all lines, Everybody, Anybody, and their Mama, Grandma and Little brother with the long hair that everybody keeps braiding even though that baby's hair could be cut and save a lot of time..  lol.; can use it to have thoroughly conditioned (not greasy) hair!!.. I just think Olive Oil is awesome and it sure is good with some Italian seasoning a fresh Parmesan to dip my bread.. umm umm goodness!  :)

Stay Tuned for more random rants about my love affair with natural hair care.. Until then,

Peace ~Love

Beat Winter Dryness

Dry skin is a part of Winter, Right? Well, It doesn't have to be!!.. and it ain't good for the glow..  =) 

So to combat winter dryness my pick for today is the Aloe Protective Restoring Mask from The Body Shop.

This is one of my fav products because its so easy to end up putting thick oils and moisturizers on your skin in effort to avoid dryness; they just end up clogging your pours and leaving your skin feeling heavy, sticky, and down right blah. This mask is used after you get your skin all squeaky clean and get rid of all the dead skin cells, just cover your face, let it sit for a few and wipe it off with a damp towel.  (Follow with your daily moisturizer/night cream) You will immediately feel the difference and its not time consuming so my On-the-Go-Girls can dig this!

 

Check it out and let me know how it works for you.  =)

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Peace ~ Love
