Life’s A Beach

It’s getting to be that, lets hit the beach time.  Whether with kids or with a crew of friends, the beach starts taking center stage.  So with that, a relaxed beach hair mane is beginning to hit it’s stride for the season.  The thing with beach hair though, is as low key and low maintenance as it looks, the true …

We Like it, Hot Hot Hot

Bright lips is the trend of the hour.  Cheeks and eyes are also having a moment, but let’s not too get excited and put them all together.  Adding bright color to the face is a pretty pick me up.  Spring and Summer already adds more of a glow to our skin, so by adding some brights into the palette, can …

Shorter hair can be so much more fashion forward than the traditional, but sexy longer hair styles.  The only draw back in …
