Although you likely feel I have quite a care free life, my chiropractor, hair dresser and botox/filler professionals beg to differ. The knots in my neck and rapidly sprouting grey hairs are signs of age and growing pains, as was my forehead. Speaking of forehead, gravity is real people, and I need to say, I owe the inability to react to the one and only: Danielle Smith of Smith & ...

I 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 ...

There are a few ladies in Miami who have killer hair. Killer referring to AMAZ. So, after having that perfect ombre color for approximately three years, and $4,000 usd later, the celebrity colorist Johnny Ramirez, killed my hair, leaving me with no other alternative than to chop half of my length off. Crisis. Yes. Out of every bad experience in life, there is a ray of light, and for me, that ...

(Seattle Art Museum), and my parents, whom collect his paintings, have two important pieces on lend for a three year traveling show.

At 31 years old, I’m told ...

The best part of this past month was when I attended a Miami Modern Luxury luncheon at 1Hotel, hosted by my friend Kristin Ducote, where I learned that my skin is comparable to that of a 19-year old.

Once upon a time, I used to live in an amazing country called Europe, and frequented a wondrous city called Florence. Florence, aka Firenze, is a magical city and on my journey of walking aimlessly in circles from museum to museum, vintage shop to vintage shop, I was wondering in a charming area and walked into Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, located in the heart of the city. I had ...

I 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 ...

It 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 ...

My 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). Basically, MsErinsita’s hair only likes the best and is uber-sensitive to hair products, ...
