Hi, Voula here:
The winter season can take a terrible toll on your hair and skin. From gusty winds to cold, crisp air, to dry heat inside our homes and workplaces; the winter months can turn your beautiful tresses from soft and luxurious locks to a straw-like mane. Trust me, I’ve seen it. Fortunately, a few simple strategies can save your tresses from being ruined forever.

From the Runway, To the Red Carpet, To You!

Hi, Voula here:
Okay, the gluttonous Thanksgiving holiday is over, and the parties are about to begin: Christmas, New Years and all the holiday parties in between, either for work, pleasure or both!

Oh the days of Glamour! 
As I rush out my front door every morning, it’s a challenge to spend hours in front of the bathroom mirror to be up to par with the women from decades past. OH, how nice to be in a silk robe, a fresh cup of hot coffee, and dozens of hot rollers in my hair while I carefully apply my make-up. The retro women of the 50’s and 60’s always left the house put together, and never, ever with wet hair. GHASTLY! Ladies, what is wrong with us?HISTORY is supposed to repeat itself, so, lets repeat what the women decades ago did: TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES! [click to continue…]

I don’t know about you, but I remember growing up and always being busy. I may have been more busy as a kid than I have been so far as an adult. We went to school for 8 hours, which in hindsight, seems like it’s only to prepare us for an 8 hour workday. After school, there were organizations like Future Farmers of America. There were clubs like Key Club (They sold and passed out those small red and white peanut bags, remember?). And, last but certainly not least, there were sports. [click to continue…]

I went from long black locks halfway down my back to a short, ultra-blond coiffe. Let me tell you that is a huge change. Not only did I change the length of my hair drastically, but I also change the color to the opposite extreme. Friends, family and even clients would walk past me and not recognize me. A client once asked, “who is the new girl?” (Don’t believe me? Scroll down, that’s me!) Changing your hair drastically can be a scary, scary thing. I always believe that you should take risks, and when given the opportunity, you should take calculated risks! [click to continue…]

Have you ever wondered what kind of miracle potion celebrities like Heidi Klum, Charlize Theron and Jennifer Aniston used on their faces to make them look so ageless and blemish free? I personally have tried hundreds of skin care lines from Neutrogena to Dermalogica to Sisley. And still, I couldn’t find something that really worked and didn’t put a huge dent in my wallet.
