All about that...hair

Thursday, May 14, 2015


My hair is an animal. After years of roaming in the wild,probing in and out of its beast state, I was finally able to domesticate into what it is today. No joke I've had scrunched up mousse-invaded hair, blond, red, short, long and everything inbetween. 


I'm not the happiest with where it is right now (I'm in the process of growing out my last color job) because I want to go back to my natural hair color for a little bit. I am however content with the length and my ability to tame it. I have wavy, coarse, thick hair and I would like to share my routine of how I am able to keep it in check. Let's start with biotin, biotin is a natural vitamin that allows for you skin hair and nails to grow. I take 1,000 mcg's everyone morning. 


It's important to mention that I shampoo every other day with any sulfate free shampoo, I'm not too picky about my shampoo,I feel like they all do the same thing. I have learned that with wavy or curly hair you must keep it moisturizered and not having sulfur in your products helps ensure that the moisture isn't being blocked from the hair shaft. Once I week I apply hot oil to my hair for a few hours, generally after straightening it blowing out my hair. This is something I learned from my mother and dreaded when she would chase me around the house with hot oil. At the end of the day it's like they say 'mother knows best'. 

 

Currently I am using Health HairPacs organic hot oil hair treatment from Harmon's beauty supply. I was reluctant to try because of the cheap packaging but am so happy that I looked passed that and tried it out. This stuff is LIFE CHANGING and I swear no one is holding a gun to my back making me tell you guys to purchase this stuff. It's just that good at hydrating and making my hair feel healthy. 


Also before the weekend starts which is generally when I actually take the time out to straighten/blow dry/curl my hair. I like to apply Aussie's 3 minute miracle deep conditioner to my hair. This is my formula to success I hope I was able to be of some help to you guys. Shine bright!!! XOXO

Mother's Day 2015

Tuesday, May 12, 2015





Happy Mother's Day to all of you fabulous mothers out there. It was my first Mother's Day as a first time mommy and I couldn't have been happier. My husband and son made sure I had an amazing day. We went to lunch at one of my fav restaurants in Woodbridge with my mommy and daddy in law. We spent the rest of the day outdoors because the weather was amazing!!! Mohsen took our son and I to the Jersey City waterfront for some exercise and ice cream (two of my favorite combos). I wanted to wear something that emulated the weather and was bright, cheery and wholesome. A maxi dress was perfect because they are so comfortable and forgiving which is the exact type of outfit you should wear if you know you are going out for a big lunch. The dress was a stunning blue with a sea foam green inner lining, the top for a stretchy jersey material and the bottom a pleated chiffon material. I am a sucker for chiffon because of the way the material feels and fall on your body. On a side note I decided not to include pictures of my son mainly because I'm a paranoid freak about psycho lurkers out on the internet even though Iit pains me to add heart stickers over his adorable face I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Ted Gibson cut- what to ask when cutting long hair

Thursday, March 13, 2014



I decided that it's time to let go of my length and trade it in for something a little more current. I've been a big fan of TLC's  What Not to Wear, where incidentally I started seeing Ted Gibson and his amazing cuts. When I found a deal to get a cut in his NYC salon, I jumped at the opportunity. I met a lovely girl there named Yelena who understood the texture of my hair. Now I am very particular when it comes to the cut of my hair.  I want an easy, care-free maintenance, that wont get in my face. Another talking point I shared with Yelena is that I don't care much about how it looks straightened but more of when I leave it in its natural wavy state. Its important that when I leave it be it still looks great without styling. I asked for long layers that start at my chin or longer and she delivered! 









She blew out my hair going outwards to achieve that Farrah Fawcett effect
