Family Ties

Now that the holidays are pretty much here (my last day is the 23rd) family members and loved ones start to stream into the city in a steady trickle.  I'm sure there are many people headed to the airport this weekend.  Maybe you're picking up a family member, or getting away for the 25th, the airport is a buzz.  The city is alive and you can feel the energy in the atmosphere change.

Christmas is around the corner and my family and I enjoy it with a good dose of basketball.  I know it's bizarre but our family tradition does include a good dose of sports.  As 2014 comes to an end, I'm again reminded about how important my relatives are to me. We expanded our family by one this summer as well!  To be able to just unwind, rest, and love all these people makes me feel complete.   I'm excited, I'm grateful and I'm very happy.  Happy holidays to all of you from all of us!

That's the fresh perspective...

Holiday make-up!  We like it...

hey boys...

I was at a Christmas party this past weekend and took notice of all the boys.  My husbands workplace has a large number of male employees and because I work with women, it's not hard to notice a well dressed man.

What type of style do you have?  Do you tend to be a bit lazy and leave the house wearing whatever is clean and not on the floor?  Are you anal about ironing and need an hour to get ready?  We need to remember fashion is not just for the ladies.  There are some guys out there that really know how to put a kit together.  Boys I'm sorry I've neglected you for so long...

Don't forget!  Hair, facial and/or scalp, can really show people how far your style goes.  Haircuts are a real cheap way to change your look up a bit and facial hair (if you can grow it) can add a lot as well.  It's very popular right now to have some sort of hair on your face.   Mustaches and beards are all the rage.  What are you willing to try this season before we start anew in 2015??

Peace

How is your hair doing?

**This is an old post from 2012 but I think it's quite timely for this time of year... Enjoy!

The Holidays are just around the corner and all we can think about is everyone else.  Who's getting what? Who's coming over? Who's watching the children?  Who's driving?  It's a bit maddening...  With all the hustle and bustle I feel like we forget about ourselves.

All that being said, I am pretty booked up into the new year and so I guess not everyone has forgotten totally about themselves.  But I think there could be more to that?  Everyone goes nuts at this time of year to make sure that all is up to par in their lives including their hair.  You may be neglectful of your locks all year round and then, BOOM! December hits and all you can think of is how many functions you have to attend and how much money you'll be spending.  Then...your hair!  You book your services in December to be ready for the festivities of the holidays but how much do you really care about your hair?

We never think to ask ourselves how are hairs are doing.  December is a busy month and also the beginning of the cold, cold, season we call winter.  Your hair will need some TLC and with all your holiday shopping and planning, squeezing in a haircut is great but maybe what you should also be doing is a deep conditioning treatment a few times this season as well.  Also, maybe in the new year after all your parties, you can give your hair a hot tool break for a few days.

Just wanted to remind you of yet another thing to add to you to-do list, (like you don't have enough).  I hope that this week we can all find some time to give our hairs a little tender loving care.  To you and your hairs, have a great week!

Oh, all this stuff applies to man hairs as well...  Just because you don't use hot tools doesn't mean your hairs are doing great...I'm just saying...

Peace
