Love Letter

Dear beautiful,

There was a time I strongly considered getting breast implants.  I also thought about getting botox so I could look young for a long time.  Although I talk a lot about beauty and enhancements, I want to take a moment to talk about real beauty which doesn't require any of that extra "stuff."

I've noticed that most people don't like something about themselves physically and they want to change it. One young lady I know was naturally beautiful and blessed with amazing skin but she would kill for a bigger butt.  Another woman who most would agree is absolutely beautiful and can't take a bad shot wished she had a full hairline.  

What I'm getting at is that it's important to recognize that someone somewhere wants what God has blessed YOU with.  Whether it's fuller lips to longer hair, someone out there wishes they had what you may overlook in yourself everyday. True beauty isn't about looking like the people we see in Hollywood who have nothing but time, money and Photoshop to look the way they do. 

Take some time to look in the mirror and appreciate what you've been blessed with.

Love yourself.

Weekend Hair Extensions

This past weekend I had the pleasure of working on this lovely young ladies hair.  I gave her a sewn in weave using Brazilian hair extensions in 18, 16 and 14". As always, I used a net to protect her hair and scalp.  Looking at her after picture, you can't even tell it's not her hair.  Absolutely gorgeous!

Perfect Eyebrows

These are 2 items I simply cannot live without.  It's the Anastasia of Beverly Hills Brow Wiz pencil and Brow Gel.  The pencil I use is dark brown and I practically use it daily to fill in my brows.  I love that it's skinny, retractable, and has a dry mascara wand on the end which you use to brush your brows. The brow gel is clear and it's fantastic if you want to "train" your brows to go the same direction or to keep them looking perfect all day.  I'll be honest and say up front that they are pricey.  The pencil is $21 and the brow gel is $22 at Anastasia of Beverly Hill's website but believe me, they are well worth the price.  They last, are well made and you'll likely use these items daily just like I do.  

Lashes of the Week

This is a simple, classic set using faux mink lashes.  They have a bit of a curl to them in order to give the eyes a lift.  Also, these lashes are super fine so they feel like your natural eyelashes.
