Is it time for a change???
I found this article by Marie Claire and I LOVE it!
10 Signs You Need a Hair Makeover Pro clues it's time to redo your 'do
By Laurie Campbell
SIGN #1
Your hair has no volume.
The top is flat, the sides are bulky, and it no longer frames your features. "If your hair just sits there, even after you've blown it dry, set it, or curled it, at the very least get a trim," says Mark Garrison of the eponymous New York City salon.
SIGN #2
Your high school friends assure you that "you haven't changed a bit!"
Guess what? It's probably time to do just that, says Sam Brocato of the hair-care company Brocato America. Start getting inspired by collecting images of cuts you'd consider. Revisit them weekly until you can picture living with one of them. Next, schedule an appointment.
SIGN #3
Your highlights are more noticeable than your base color.
"This is an indication that your highlights have become too heavy," says Garrison. The fix? Consider a single process to cover the streaks and lay off new highlights for at least three months. (Don't worry, some of the lighter bits will naturally show through, giving you a subtler, sun-kissed effect.)
SIGN #4
You're not receiving compliments on your hair anymore.
One simple tweak sure to garner attention is to set your strands in hot rollers, suggests Federico Calce of Federico Salon in New York City. "Of all the heat-styling tools, they produce the softest, sexiest waves."
SIGN #5
Your hair and skin tone match.
If your tress and skin tones have become too close, you could benefit from lowlights, says Garrison. Add deeper, warmer streaks using peroxide and ammonia-free color to give your look loads of dimension without damaging your hair.
SIGN #6
Your clothes have evolved; your hair hasn't.
According to Brocato, altering your clothing style is the perfect excuse to update your 'do. This way, your new look will work from head to toe — literally. For example, if you've recently lost weight and are finally sporting all those curve-hugging clothes previously relegated to the back of your closet, you might want to get a sleeker, more face-flattering coif.
SIGN #7
Two words: Brillo pad.
Lopping off significant length may be the only way to eliminate dryness. But in the meantime, switch to a cream-based styler (such as Kiehl's Creme with Silk Groom) to add moisture to your hair, which will render it more supple and less apt to break.
SIGN #8
You pull your hair into a ponytail all the time.
Garrison suggests adding bangs or layers to give your locks some shape — that way, you'll be more apt to wear them down.
SIGN #9
You spend more than 20 minutes styling your hair.
If it takes this long, your cut is clearly not making the most of your texture. A fast fix: Get your stylist to create 'dos that work with your curls (like long layers) or that boost your lank locks (like a blunt bob).
SIGN #10
Your stylist could cut your hair with her eyes closed.
Sounds like someone's in a rut (not just you). Seek out fresh eyes/scissors.
The easiest way to keep current? Start with a versatile cut, then alter your texture and color as often as you like! For a look like the one shown here, begin with long layers and use volumizing spray on your roots.
Try: Phytovolume Actif Volumizer Spray for fine or limp hair.

Loving Nude!
I LOVE when I find the perfect shade of lipstick or gloss you know the kind that goes with your favorite eyeshadow or blush. However, there are times you want to be neutral and natural and let's face it nude is in and I have been searching for my nude with no luck! But... I finally found it and I love being NUDE :)
It's from NARS and it's called Little Darling (I love the name)
I actually think this is the first lipstick I have purchased by NARS I have several lip glosses but no lipstick and I am in L-O-V-E!!!! The texture is great and it sort of has a citrusy scent so no gross taste for being a lipstick!
This is swatch of what it looks like and it actually does look more nude on the lips. It is a really great color!
Oh and just an FYI on this particular color if you want this one it is from their holiday collection so... it probably is limited everytime I find something I LOVE it's limited so... if you want this one you better go get it!
Now for some music:
Rihanna's new CD LOUD is out and it is FAB!!! I love every single song I seriously can't pick one song to choose as a favorite because I love the whole thing!!! Take a listen to this upbeat CD!
Harper Blynn last post I shared a video of these guys since then I have purchased this CD this band is so so so GOOD! Again I love the whole CD so just buy it :)
I went and saw this movie a bit cheesy but the music, makeup, hair, and clothes FAB!
The music especially was SO good I went right out and bought the soundtrack! I have been listening to it ever since, so even if the movie is not for you the music is!!!

Mr. Greg Laswell
Friday I saw Greg Laswell and it was so fun! I have seen him once before but he was the opening act and this time he was the star of the show and I don't know if being the star of the show made it better but it was SO GOOD! But he also seemed to be so much more cheery and witty :) He sang all the songs I hoped he sing and more.
He really is such a great artist he plays the piano, guitar, and his voice is heaven!!!
There were some opening acts some good some HORRIBLE!
The first was Dustin Christensen he played the guitar well and had a great voice but so not entertaining :)
The second was this HORRIBLE band called the Yarrow I mean they were terrible everything from the singing to the dancing.
The third was WONDERFUL and made enduring the first two OK because I love discovering new music and you can tell they love what they do and they really got me excited for Greg to come out!!! They were called Harper Blynn and look and them...
They really were a lot of fun to listen too and I basically loved all of their songs I bought one of their Cd's it only has 5 songs on it but... I've been listening to it over and over.
I am so glad I found this... they covered Beyonce's Halo and it was AWESOME!
I had a fun night with friends and wonderful music!

Polish
I have an OBSESSION with nail polish when I buy one I generally will buy two because I can't decide what color to buy :) Whenever I go to the beauty supply it is rare I leave the store without a new polish color! My 2 new colors are FAB and I thought I would share.
First up Rising Star by OPI and I think it's the perfect color for November and your Thanksgiving Feast! I think it's the perfect orange and it has little specks of gold just the perfect touch! I think this is the perfect color for the holiday! I haven't worn this yet I'm waiting to wear it closer to Thanksgiving but... I'm really excited for it!
Next is Sparkle-Icious also from OPI I was drawn to this because well... I love sparkle and glitter and it was the whole package: Glitter, Colorful, and FUN!
This is from a collection they made based off the movie Burlesque so... no wonder there is so much glitz and glam. They had so many other great colors in the collection I am so tempted to go back for more, and I probably will :)
I just put this on tonight and I LOVE it a lot!!! 1 coat there was a little sparkle, 2 coats more sparkle, 3 coats was the perfect amount of sparkle for me :)
