Your Hair’s Forbidden Love- proTENAJ

TENAJ_Style_dry_shine_spray

I have never been one to walk out of the house without having my hair done and when it comes to my hair, hairspray is a MUST!!!! Only bad thing about me is I tend to overload to block out humidity and to add shine. Only overloading does not block out humidity and sure doesn’t add shine. Instead it makes my hair crunchy and feel like glue.

When I first used proTENAJ styleINFLECTION Dry Shine Spray, I threw away all my other hairspray cans (yes, even the full ones). styleINFLECTION Dry Shine Spray is a soft hold, humidity resistant hairspray that leaves added shine and touchable control to even the most unmanageable hair (like mine). I love to use proTENAJ styleINFLECTION Dry Shine Spray right before blow drying to seal in shine and to separate my curls giving them a soft, loose look. I also use it right before I walk outside to shield this Florida humidity. Not only do I love the soft texture to my hair and the shine, I also love the way styleINFLECTION Dry Shine Spray makes my hair smell. Sometimes I will spray the Dry Shine just to smell it. I know I’m crazy!!!! 

One of the greatest features about proTENAJ styleINFLECTION Dry Shine Spray is that it is made with all certified organic ingredients. My sensitive skin is very thankful for that. It is designed with Village Berry Complex which is a blend of berries and fruits from villages all over the world. The fruit extracts add strength and moisture to your hair and keeps your hair free of everyday damage. You will NEVER find them anywhere but in your salon. It is hard to express just how much I love this product line in words. Be sure to visit the TENAJ Beauty Group’s YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/TENAJBeautyTBG for weekly interviews and how-to hairstyles and visit their website at www.tenajbeautygroup.com for more info and products. Your hair will thank you for it!!!

Celebrity Sneaker Trend

According to a recent Elle Magazine Trend Alert, these Giuseppe Zanotti Leather and Suede Wedge Sneakers are one of their 30 “Must-Have Shoes” this season.  Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Eve, and Rihanna have all been seen sporting the luxury brand.  I say yes, they are definitely cute, but at $695, I think I’ll have to pass:-(

“Once Upon a Time Look” – How to do Meghan Ory’s Hair

tumblr_mivqoomkEu1qhaemso1_1280

See how Richard Kohlen, stylist to Meghan Ory, does her “Once Upon A Time” Luscious Locks:

1. To start I give a healthy spray of White Sands Liquid Texture Thermal Styling Spray, then section her hair into one inch strips.

2. With a one inch curling iron, I do alternating spiral curls. Alternating gives the fullness I’m looking for and the most natural look.

3. Once I am done with one row, I give a light spraying of White Sands Infinity Hairspray to set the curl for a long lasting hold.

4. After all the rows are done, I add in preset extension pieces made and colored to match Meghan’s own natural hair. For this “Red Riding hood” look, I used 24” extensions, for that extra long look!

5. Once all the curling and extensions are in, I added an inverted braid that is once again preset, from ear to ear which gives us that period look.

6. After everything is done I use the White Sand Orchids Oil to smooth out all the little frizzes! And voila! “Red Riding Hood” extra sexy look.

Where to Find Stylish and Affordable Clothes

One of the great things about the current state of fashion is the plethora of choices available to women of all ages and backgrounds. Being able to develop your own sense of style is now easier than ever. Here is a list that I have compiled of places that have a stylish and comprehensive inventory without breaking your budget!

H&M

I have found that H&M has many inexpensive essentials. With such a huge variety of men and women’s clothes, H&M keeps up with the latest trends but sells classic looks as well. The sizes typically run smaller-so if you’re normally a 0 look for a 2 (which happens to be their smallest size)! The store often collaborates with couture designers to create an affordable line of stylish clothes for the everyday woman. These collections sell out almost instantly-so keep your eyes peeled for upcoming collaborations! matthew-williamson-h-and-m-collection-ss09 www.hm.com/us

TOPSHOP

TopShop is another inexpensive destination that offers a wide variety of clothing, shoes and accessories. With such a diversified collection of clothes, nearly every style and niche market is covered! And now, with their new LA location at the ever popular destination, The Grove, you no longer have to wait for packages to come from  our friends across the pond! la-fi-mo-sees-topshop-grove-20130204-001 www.us.topshop.com

WASTELAND

Wasteland is a destination must for most LA residents. The store offers exciting new labels along with fantastic hand picked vintage and designer resale finds! With stores all across Los Angeles and in San Francisco, Wasteland also operates an e-commerce site that is constantly jam-packed with stylish but reasonably priced shoes, dresses, and accessories. images www.shopwasteland.com

THREADSENCE

Threadsence is a great e-commerce site that offers a handpicked selection of affordable and trendy clothes that are simultaneously sweet and edgy. The site also offers great deals and promotions on essential items like summertime platforms and distressed denim jackets! Check back often for great finds on all your favorite styles! 181288_10151696090232220_1712282956_n www.threadsence.com

THE SANTEE ALLEY

Santee Alley is one of Los Angeles’ best kept secrets. Located in downtown Los Angeles, the district offers a breathless and exciting variety of dresses, shoes, purses, tops, and anything your heart might dream of and more. This is where you can score a pair of Jeffrey Campbell knockoffs for fifteen dollars! If you’re willing to look, every downtown metropolitan area offers trendy clothes for unbeatable prices! SF2 www.thesanteealley.com

NASTYGAL

Nastygal is another e-commerce store that offers a wide selection of stylish, on trend, and affordable clothes. The site offers their own brand as well as a comprehensively curated selection of today’s hottest brands! If you’re looking to add a touch of excitement to your wardrobe, look no further than Nastygal! nastygalnewstock www.nastygal.com

ZARA

Last but not least, I cannot emphasize how wonderful Zara is for their combination of sophisticated and chic clothes. Zara offers exciting new styles that are appropriate for all ages and unmatched prices for the quality. Zara is a great destination for wardrobe essentials like that perfect leather jacket, summertime blazer, and chambray blouse. Screen Shot 2013-06-27 at 12.12.06 PM www.zara.com

Treat Yourself to a Glacial Facial

0-17

You know those boring rainy days that tend to happen from time to time? What better way to spend it than pampering yourself and having some fun in the process? A few days ago I tried using Montagne Jeunesse’s Glacial Clay Spa! It was actually a really fun experience. I have used facials before but nothing like this one. This masks opens to a soft cloth with whatever scent is on your package. It already has cut outs for your eyes, nose and mouth so you can relax for the full experience. You keep it on for 10-15 minutes and let the moisture seep into your skin and cleanse your pores.  Before you use this product it is a good idea to wash your face before hand. I applied the cloth to my face, for the appropriate amount of time given. (Perfect time to do this while your favorite TV show is having a commercial or something!) After the time is up, take the cloth off and massage the excess juices around your face. Lastly you just rinse, it’s as easy as that! Montagne Jeunesse Glacial Clay Spa left my face extremely soft and my pores were completely clear! It’s a fun and different thing to do alone when you’re bored, invite some friends over and try it together! I loved using this and I’m eager to see what the other Masks are like!

Montagne Jeunesse carries face masks, clay spas and refreshing products for your entire body. Find them all at www.montagnejeunesse.com
