Hello everyone,
Winter is almost over, the North wind is blowing, and Spring beckons, can you feel it ? I sure can, It is driving me mad. I know, I know, its still cold outside but there is that smell in the air that says “wake up”. February is the month that we celebrate love :Valentines Day. I wonder if Saint Valentine intended for us to celebrate love the way we do today, considering that the Romans killed him for performing marriages when he was ordered not to. Imagine that, a world where being married to the one you love was not allowed. Today , we show love with chocolates, cards, flowers,jewelry and fancy dinners on Valentines day. Much easier than a clandestine marriage performed by a Heretic ,huh ? OR IS IT ?
Love is hard. Love in this city seems to be really hard. Maybe its not that hard, but we make it seem that way. Washington D.C. is a very hard place to find a mate, many girls at the store complain about not being able to find a man here. Loneliness is a very bad place to be in, the problem with being lonely is that you get used to it. It has a tendency to creep up on you and before you know it….you have become a recluse. HARD TO FIND A MAN IN YOUR LIVING ROOM.
Dont get me wrong, I am not saying go out and pick up any loser in the bar. NO, do not do that, Loneliness makes for very bad judgement calls( I know all about that one) . What I am telling you is that you need to make an effort to go out with your friends,co workers, family and start to meet people face to face. Match.com is fine but dont you think spending MORE time infront of the computer is STUPID ? lets not forget all those cheesy ads on there about sunsets, fireplaces,long walks on the beach COME ON ALLREADY if those guys were so romantic WHY ARE THEY ALONE ?
I THINK I KNOW WHY
We have lost TRUST. Thats right: TRUST. We no longer trust ourselves to make the right call when it comes to our hearts. We have been hurt and we do not want to be hurt again. This is true for both men and women. It has become a vicious cycle of being afraid of falling in love and falling in love with the absolutely wrong person OVER AND OVER.Thus the recluse and the confort of being LONELY. It is very easy to do. You must stop, human beings were meant to go in packs, like wolves we are social animals.We are not meant to be alone. Go out and meet you some good people, they do exist,are you not one of those good people? Or do what I did : I HAD AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE
I will tell you all about it in my post tommorow. In the meantime, Go out, play, laugh and be young.

Hello everyone,
It seems to me that, with all the big industry lay-offs, that a lot of folks are looking to reinvent themselves. I think that is great news. I am hoping that people want to become hairstylists, makeup artists, manicurists and estheticians. The “makeover” shows have done a lot to promote our industry, a very good thing indeed, considering that we sometimes feel demoralized (more on that later on).

Hello everyone,
The town is anxiously awaiting the inauguration of a new president ,the visitors are due to arrive any minute(4 million of them), and the economy is still in shambles. We need a………miracle. As i watched the footage of that airplane crashing into the Hudson River yesterday,as the passengers were saved and accounted for,I prayed that God will save our country and our economy as he saved those passengers on the plane.
DO YOU THINK OUR NEW PRESIDENT CAN BE LIKE THAT BRAVE PILOT ON THAT PLANE ?
Can our new president help us? Can he steer our country into safety? Is it fair to expect so much from him? Do you think that it was the pilots training that saved those passengers or was it the steering hand of God? I dont have the answers,but I am so glad for the outcome. I want to be saved ,its in my hard drive as a woman.Tired of being afraid,exhausted at keeping on top of my game,sad at hearing my friends and clients losing jobs and homes.The only thing , other than HOPE, that keeps me from breaking down is that:CHILDREN ARE WATCHING.
Thats right,our children are watching us.Very closely.They know something is wrong.My son ,until a few months ago ,thought the word:HOBO was funny.Not any more.He heard a little girl cry at school because her parents were being evicted.He looked up HOMELESS in the dictionary and that took care of the hobo word not being funny anymore. I sure hope this new president can save the day,its wrong to expect so much from him but……
MR PRESIDENT:DO SOMETHING SOON,THE CHILDREN ARE WATCHING.
That is all I have to say.Its so cold outside and Iam grateful to be inside and warm,kinda like those other survivors:GRATEFUL and waiting for a MIRACLE.

Hi, Voula Here:
It’s time to roll out the blue carpet ladies and gentlemen. An inaugural season is to Washington what the Oscars are to Hollywood and Fashion week to New York City—except that an inauguration happens once every four years.
It’s a fabulous time to be out and about with all the great events and festivities around town. Don’t sit at home and watch history happen. Go out and do something and be APART OF HISTORY. Here is a great place to start looking for interesting things to do in January in honor of the Inauguration.

Hello Everyone,
I wish you all a very happy new year. 2008 was a very hard year for many of us,but that is about to change.I have very good inside information that 2009 is going to be better. 
glitter-graphics.com
YOU DONT BELIEVE ME ?
Here is what I know will happen:
Your hair and makeup will be perfect every day.
You will replace your cleaning supplies with enviromentally safe ones.
You will get rid of that bad for you man faster than a case of head lice.
You will jump start the economy by buying an american made hybrid car.
You will have a new president that you can invite as a facebook friend,and follow him on twitter.
You will see oprah winfrey move to town and chase vernon jordan out.
You will break all your resolutions, except the one about dumping the loser.
You will be expected to get up and volunteer to help your country.
You will finally realize that you are like your mother,and she is always right,and its ok
You will start to help,feed and protect our own needy kids;and then the rest of the world.(Wash D.C Schools first)
You will separate God from man.No mixing religion and politics.
You will cut up the credit cards and use the cash under the matress to shop at nordstrom.
You will be insanely kind to all around your home and office.Even the neighbor that steals your new trash can.
You will no longer pay to be invited to a high society party.Having a potluck with your coworkers will be more chic.
You will be a fashion plate with all your clothes bought from target and khols.High priced designers be warned.
You will leave the baking to the baker:no more coloring your own hair.
I wish you health,wealth and happiness.

Hi, Voula Here:
I sat at my desk at work, took a sip of my latté and opened up the Washington Post a couple of days ago. I think I may have shrieked and got some stares. There was an article about one of my friends, Rusi, aka Ruslan Kogan to the world.

Hello Everyone,
More of the same this week at the salon, with many friends and clients scaling back on Christmas shopping, losing more on retirement accounts and overall trying to stretch the once mighty dollar. Can you imagine how surprised I was to see my neighbors house on Craigslist listed (and rented) for $13,500 for the week of the Inauguration? [click to continue…]
