Henna Hair

Before the days of Punk Color, Manic Panic and the modern Sebastian Cellophane, ladies who wanted to change the color of their hair reached for Henna. For those of you who haven't used Henna before let me warn you that it is a timely process, you have to boil water adding it to the Henna powder and when you have a "clay like paste" spread it throughout your hair. Leaving it in for hours or even over night as my Grandma Olga used to do! Henna is a ultra hydrating treatment however, it can smell bad and prohibit you from using one of the modern hair coloring brands.

Using Henna leaves your hair Cleopatra shiny and soft! I've found that in all my years of hair coloring, bleaching, and the use of hair extensions I've traumatized my head. In my efforts in rehabilitating my hair I've stubbled upon Henna Shampoo and Conditioner from Natures Gate. At six bucks a bottle Henna shampoo and conditioner is a steal, leaving your hair soft, shiny, glossy and Va Va Voom-alicious ! It's hard to find and most Whole-Foods sell out fast, so when you see this makeover in a bottle stock up or go online and have your own scarlet worthy head of hair

ps

spike your shampoo with a little ylang ylang essential oil Cleopatra style and have all the men swoon!

Time to Start Walking....

Times are changing and with the times so am I, temporarily I've traded in my Sparkle shoes for "I mean business" black heels. Sparkly shoes are my favorite, I wear em to the car wash, grocery store, bank, even to the doctors office. As I find myself hitting the pavement for a new endeavor in my professional life. I thank my lucky stars that my practical boyfriend gave me these lovely Louboutins.... it's nice to know you have Louboutin on my side though my next treacherous journey. xoxo smile and sparkle!

hello kitty

i was thinking of what to write about for my first ever post, most of my friends in fact even strangers know that i love hello kitty. why do i love hello kitty? i have her all around my apartment, my office, my car, she is even in my purse. i am literally surrounded by her every moment of my day, and as i stare at her, i look at her simple face which is expressionless, she has her vibrant red bow, wide black eyes but no smile, not a smirk, not a frown just a simple white space. some of you who took cartoon theory might shed a bit of light on this subject or my friends who are psychology majors can probably give me a reasonably simple answer to what her expressionless face means. what hello kitty is to me ties in my simple thinking, simplicity is my life, although you wouldn't think it by the way i over dress my salad or the way i layer my mascara or the way i dress.. but i think the way to happiness is simplicity, by omitting the excess in life you will become happier....? my overly stuffed closet strongly disagrees but i think less is more with the exception of mascara, salad dressing and jewelry. so, i guess i submerge my mind and life with the expressionless kitty is cause i crave contentment with simplicity and an emotionless cat .... for today, that is xoxo
