The other day I was testing out a new flat iron at my desk when my office mate notified me that I was “doing it weird.” What? There’s a weird way to flat iron hair? Turns out that I’m of the fast, repeated passes school of thought and she is prefers one slow pass. Am I alone in this? Is one way wrong or does it really matter? Let me know below!

Any woman who has been pregnant can relate to that moment when you suddenly can’t stomach everyday smells. I have never like eggs, but the smell became so offensive I not only banned them from my house, I banned my husband from consuming them period.
Unfortunately this nine month aversion wasn’t limited to food– one fateful morning the smell of my shampoo turned my stomach. So off I headed to my favorite Sally Beauty store where they know me and wouldn’t stare as I spent the next 45 minutes smelling everything in the store. I am happy to report I found some great pregnancy-friendly substitutes.
Aura Hypo-Allergenic Shampoo and Conditioner: First I want to remind everyone 
that fragrance-free does not mean it doesn’t have any smell. It simply means that they do not add additional fragrance. Luckily this shampoo and conditioner are formulated with some pleasant botanical ingredients and left my hair smelling clean and nothing more. It didn’t weigh my hair down and left it with a nice shine. I’m generally impressed with these products. The added bonus is that they are hypo-allergenic, keeping any pregnancy triggered skin sensitivities in check. There is also a styling gel. I didn’t try that, but I would say it is worth a shot based on the performance of the other products.
And while you’re shopping get the biggest pregnancy must – cocoa butter for your belly!
Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Belly Cream: A staple for the pregnant woman for obvious reasons. Some cocoa butter lotions go heavy on the vanilla, which can be too sweet. This one is very lightly scented but made me hungry for chocolate chip cookies. Honestly – it may or may not have been the lotion.

From what I’ve seen so far, it looks like our friends from the Shore are going to be a very popular costume choice! Bloggers, magazines and talk show hosts have gone gaga for all things Jersey, and I bet I see more than a few “poufs” this Halloween.
I was having a little trouble deciding on a costume, but browsing around SallyBeauty.com has made me realize that this is the route to go. Here are my picks for putting together the perfect Jersey-fied look:
- Ardell Fashion Eye Lashes
- Ed Hardy Temporary Tattoos
- Ion Rattail Tease Comb
- Salon Bronze Airbrush Tanning System
- Salon Care Butterfly Clamps
- Pretty Woman Nail Tips
- Bumpits Hair Volumizing Inserts
What’s your costume going to be this year? Are you going to rock the “pouf?”

Q: How often does red haircolor need to be touched up?
A: Consistent touch-ups every four to five weeks are important with reds. If you wait too long between touch-ups—i.e. when new growth is over half an inch—your body heat may process the color closest to the scalp faster, resulting in what professionals call “hot roots”, when the color at the scalp is brighter than at the mid-length or ends. To give red hair color a boost between salon visits, try Beyond The Zone Glam Street Glaze in Jaw Dropping Red.
Have color questions? We’d love to see them!

Have you heard that gray is once again THE color for fall? I attended a presentation on trends last week and everyone is still all about The Gray. What are your thoughts? Do you agree or are you sick of it?
My love affair with it continues, but I admit that gray by itself can come across as a little…blah. That’s why I prefer to mix it with pops of colors, especially burnished oranges. I’ve got pumpkin spice lattes, gray cashmere scarves and caramel scented everything on the brain right now, so it’s only natural that it’s spilling over into my beauty look. Smoky eyes and nails the color of pie? Bring it on!
Here’s a roundup of some products featuring my current color combo obsession:
- FingerPaints in Copper Elements
- Femme Couture Baked Eye Duo in Copper Chic
- China Glaze in Avalanche
- Palladio Tinted Lip Balm in Orange
- Palladio Baked Eye Shadow in Gun Metal
- Palladio Eye Ink in Smokey
- Sally Girl Mini Squeeze Tube Lip Gloss in Shimmer Pink
- Sally Girl Mini Baked Eye Shadow in Silver
So what colors are you loving this fall?

Move over, Miracle 7, there’s a new favorite in town. Just kidding! You know you’ll always be my #1. I just have to make a little room in my heart for the both of you.
So what’s this amazing new product, you ask? Well it’s not that new (It came out in June), but I just discovered it so I’m calling it new. (With more than 6,500 products to learn about and try, sometimes I get a little behind. Oops!)
Anyway, my new LOVE OF LOVES is the GVP Heat Activated Texture Spray. This stuff is Fabulous with a capital F. Why is it so great? One reason and one reason only: It gives me swishy hair. Those of you who were blessed with naturally swishy hair (Sister, I’m looking and glaring at you.), probably don’t understand how amazing this is. Let’s just say that for those of us whose hair texture tends to resemble cotton candy, discovering this is like finding the Holy Grail of hair products.
Here are the facts:
- Compare to Redken Fabricate 03
- Inspires texture and definition
- Provides weightless control
- Never sticky
- $5.99!
So tell me… have you tried this product yet? If so, do you love it as much as I do? What about other products from the GVP line? Any favorites there?
