Read MoreAlthough you likely feel I have quite a care free life, my chiropractor, hair dresser and botox/filler professionals beg to differ.

Read MoreI must admit, my hair simply looked like shit. A bad color job left me with streaks. I looked like a brindle rescue dog. Then, there was a bad cut, looking like it was done with a paper cutter at Office Max. Now, that left me sans volume….and good ol’ age, mixed with stress from my ex-step kid that I went to college with, left me very grey. My only ...

Crisis. Yes. Out of every bad experience in life, there is a ray of light, and for me, that ...

I had ...

If you have or have not used fillers to achieve ...
Read MoreI am an art girl, so of course, I flew down to Miami from New York City for Art Basel. My thought: I wanted to GLOW for Basel, literally (before and after pics are soon to follow). Naturally, I went to my local tanning salon that I first started going to years ago – BOCA TANNING SALON, located in Coral Gables. I read about their new upgraded version of the VersaSpa spray ...
Read MoreIt is a very difficult job to look good at all times (when applicable). So just a few weeks ago, when Johnny Ramirez was in town at Elle-Air blow bar in Surfside, I was sitting next to a truly, drop dead gorgeous petite ‘blonde.’ After all, were all ‘blonde.’ So, this stranger-neighbor ended up becoming my friend, and she happens to be Natalie Gee, the brains and ‘beauty’ behind Gee ...

Read MoreMy hair…. It has been through many transformations. Just google me, you will see (and perhaps, you too will be frightened!) Fast forward to these past few years, the last of my 20’s, where I went wild, and signed up for the worlds most expensive, yet best highlights ala Johnny Ramirez (who travels between LA, NYC and MIA).
