Just Thought I Would Share...







I was excited to see my makeup work in an add for a photographer in the February edition of the 805 magazine! This was a wedding I had worked on at the Moorpark Country Club a while back. I have worked a few weddings there and think the location is quite beautiful.
The photographer, Mark Ayoub, has a fabulous portfolio and I highly recommend taking a peek!
His work is romantic, soft and unique.

Attention Curly GIrls!

I went to the Long Beach Convention (International Salon & Spa Expo) and found a product line called Mixed Chicks. Now, I don't do hair but I can't even tell you how much I am loving this line!
They keep their alcohol content low in their product, which in turn creates less frizz! Yay! My hair is not sticky, greasy, nor does the product feel heavy.
I purchased 3 products shampoo, conditioner, and a leave in. I would also like to add their prices are incredibly affordable, and you are getting salon quality products.

I had locks for about 8 years, I do not call them 'dread' locks for we having nothing in this life to dread. They were past my tush and I wanted a different look. Eight years ago the products they had out to offer a girl with my hair type didn't help. I used a hot comb to straighten my hair, which in turn fried it. I tried the straightening products I even tried perming. Nothing worked. Plus, I surfed and the salt water didn't help my situation much.
My hair would mat up on its own so I thought, why not just let it do what it wants to do. I met Pattye Anderson the amazing woman who transformed my kinky mess into beautiful, no gorgeous, locks that I loved for eight years of my life. I got stopped everywhere I went.
But, they were getting too long to do much with and I needed something else. My mother and I along with plenty of Argan Oil actually brushed them out. So, I have been on mission to find a product that would tame the mane. :)

I've been using this line for about 2 weeks now, and I love it! You should check them out!
