Highlights from George Papanikolas and Joico, my new product love
So if you’re a loyal reader of my blog then you know a few things about me 1-) I love all things Gwen Stefani 2-) I like any beauty products that smell like food and 3-) I’m very picky about my highlights. I recently had the opportunity to try out the fabulous George Papanikolas at West Hollywood’s Andy Lecompte Salon.

Soft, thick, glossy locks that I can whip around a la Willow Smith (yes, I openly admit that I want to whip my hair back and forth).
So if you’re like me, you won’t have any leftover champagne after New Year’s eve…but that’s exactly why you should buy an extra bottle BEFORE New Year’s and do this awesome DIY hair treatment. I’ve heard that beer is good for your hair, but champagne? Apparently, yes. Hair expert Joel Warren of the Warren-Tricomi Salon explains that champagne make for an excellent hair treatment, especially for 
So as I get older and older I’m beginning to see that everyone isn’t crazy and yeah, I can get bags under my eyes. My youthful skin of yesteryear is gone, unfortunately, and sadly there’s not much I can do about it. And then I was introduced to
