Rid Yourself of Split Ends
I sat down with Jeff O’Neil, celebrity hair stylist and creative director at Lure Salon in West Village. If you haven’t sat in Jeff’s chair, you are missing out! Not only does he do amazing work with scissors, but he also is in-the-know about fashion, celebrities and HAIR PRODUCTS. He shared one tip with me that is sooo good that I have to pass it along to you. If you have hair, you know what split ends are. Unfortunately they bring frizz and “flyways.” For maintenance, we usually go to the salon every 6 to 8 weeks to trim the damaged ends because it’s the only way to actually get rid of…

Facelogic: "Purely Affordable"
After watching Hilary Kennedy‘s Weekly Fashion Update featuring Facelogic, I thought I should check out this really “affordable” spa. I was escorted to private room by Kelly Bertrand, a skincare therapist, where a zero gravity chair awaits. If you haven’t sat on one, oh my! Zero gravity chairs takes the pressure off of your lower back. I was absolutely amazed at not only the quality of the facial, but the various options based on your skin type that was offered with a price that is “purely affordable!” Cost is a common reason that prevents women from having regular facials.Getting regular facials is actually one of the secrets to having healthy, youthful…

Boho Influences Spring Trends
Last night PinkMemo hosted “The Front Row: Trend Event – Boho Chic” at Neiman Marcus’ flagship store in Downtown Dallas. Almost Famous meets Jane Austen is this Spring 2011 trend, where ruffles and lace join forces with sequins and shells for a fresh take on the sometimes over-played boho chic. PinkMemo described the Spring 2011 to be “brilliant coral, soothing white and tres chic stripes.”I was definitely taken back by how much coral, tangerine and other shades of orange were being displayed. It was a refreshing contrast to this winter’s darker colors. I’m also excited to see the wide-leg pants coming back in style. The outfit to the left is a perfect picture…

Green is Golden!
As I watched the 2011 Golden Globe Awards, I was green with envy. Some of night’s best dressed moms opted for richly-hued emerald green gowns. Celebrities often talk about living green, and this time Hollywood’s moms seriously followed it by “GOING GREEN.” Actress Angelina Jolie, who is mostly seen in black, this time sparkled in a sequined long-sleeved Versace emerald green gown. Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones chose a green hue too. She wore a Monique Lhuillier forest green silk strapless gown adorned with a sweetheart-neckline. Who do you think rocked Green Color in the most stunning way? Share your views in comment box below.

Drybar (Dallas’ First Blow Dry Bar) Is Coming Soon!
My hair has experienced this magic miles away in L.A., but I was disappointed that there was not a place like that here, even though local salons are adding blow dry options to their menu. I love blowouts, especially for moms when we need a pampering to remember that we ARE beautiful women under all these other hats we wear. Let me explain this salon concept. Drybar is a hair salon that specializes solely in washing and blowing out hair. They offer a variety of blowouts such as the Mai Tai, which is messy & beachy; the Manhattan which is sleek & straight; and the Southern Comfort which provides lots of…
