The Monday Rundown

the monday rundown

Aveda Pure Abundance Style-Prep: I’m really loving this product lately.  In fact, I’ve been catching whiffs of the amazing “Aveda smell” that all of their products have, and I’m way into it.

Reese Witherspoon: I don’t normally cover anything pop culture-related in The Monday Rundown, however, this was too funny to pass up.  “You’re about to find out who I am,” indeed.

Haute Betts Gypsy bracelet: After a weekend at Coachella (ok, really just staying at The Ace in Palm Springs), I’m feeling a fun friendship bracelet.

A classic milkshake: Currently craving ice cream…in fact, I just bought these old-fashioned dishes at the 99 cent store so I can re-create the full look and feel.

Just Extensions Launch Event, Presented by Sexy Hair, and Hosted By Me!

JEtop

My love for all things extensions only grows bigger and bigger by the day, which is why I was absolutely thrilled when I was asked to host the launch event for LA’s first hair extension bar: Just Extensions.  The event was presented by SexyHair, an awesome hair product line that has a great selection of products that are safe to use with hair extensions, which is totally key for maximum wear.  Sexy Hair’s Stylist, Laura Hickenboth, gave tips to all guests on how to maintain extensions and what products were best with each specific technique, which was incredibly informative.

Just Extensions, founded by Riqua Hailes, offers extension lovers an alternative to the long application hours and over-priced services typically associated with getting extensions.  Whether you are looking to add length, volume or color, the experienced “extensionists” and licensed stylists can help you achieve the exact look that you want.  Just Extensions also allows you to choose your preferred method of application, which I love, and their stylists can help guide you on the best application for you, based on your hair’s texture.

April Favorites!

It’s April favorites time!  Here are the products that are really making me smile this month:

Blackheart Beauty skull nail polish: The bottle alone is brilliant.

Jouer Cosmetics Tinted Lip Balm in “Bellini”: I’m loving this glossy lip balm…also, of course, named after one of my favorite cocktails.

Herbal Essences Shine Collection Shampoo: Hi, 1997.  This is Jamie…and I miss you.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her perfume: Hands down, my go-to fragrance…and it’s pretty irresistible at that.

LATHER Coconut Foaming Body Scrub: It actually smells and feels like coconut, which I love.
