Hair-Do's or Don'ts

Ladies it's time to break your bad hair habits. 

Did you know everyday missteps can lead your hair locks lifeless and dull?

 If you continue with what you think it's best for your hair

that can only lead to hair damage, light breakage, drying and even hair loss.

So, lets start the New Year with Madison Reed  hair do's and dont's.

Below is a quick easy chart that explains 10 popular Myths by experts stylist.

And if your hair is anything like mine wavy and curly...read up on all you need to know about curly hair and if your looking for hair dye tips check out hair dye advisor .

Now...I know I have dry damaged hair like most chikas, but

I didn't realize putting my hair in a pineapple bun after a shower was causing

my hair protein bonds to be broken (no wonder I have a lot of split ends...)

So, I decided to go to a hairstylist for a quick layer trim that included bangs 

and a selected a short haircut that would flatter my face. 

Calibash 2016

Calibash is LA's most anticipated concert featuring today's music industry with  Hip Hop,

tropical, pop and R&B. Thanks to Mega 96.3 FM my sister and I got to enjoy a night out, but

most of all kick back and dance to some of the greatest jams. 

My concert outfit was definitely inspired by TJ Maxx Style 

where I found Kancan jeans, Apana Sweater and a Striped Blouse for a good deal ($60).

Feeling Tired, but Feeling Free

There are moments in life where time stands still and you begin to reflect on your dreams

and inspirations. And at times while you work so hard, your goals may seem far and you might catch a drift of tiredness. But, remember ladies feeling free to live your dreams is an inspiration. So keep in mind, to keep moving forward because in the end whatever the reward maybe God will know that's where you need to be.

Feeling free to live each day how you want is a blessing, so don't linger on what could of, should of, would of. Live in the moment and breathe. Look up and wake up because life is right in front of you.

It was a sunny day, but a bit chilly outside and perfect enough to wear a poncho, long sleeve turtle neck and boyfriend jeans with boots (well at least that was the idea), but I went barefoot, I mean why not...it's not a big deal. Perhaps I just needed to feel well grounded by being barefoot, plus it felt good to free my little toes for a day.

January's Beauty Favorites

Hola Chikas!

Happy Monday, I hope you are off to a great start, although some of us wish it

was still the weekend. Well with that being said, I want to share 4 favorite beauty items for January; 3 are part of my morning ritual and 1 is for quick touch ups on an oily day.

Here is one of my favorite item's this month the Aburatorigami blotting sheets by the Tatcha beauty line. This product is only $12 dollars and the leaflet blotting sheets absorb excess oil without disturbing the makeup. Plus chikas, if you purchase a full size beauty item from the Tatcha company you are helping support Room to Read Partnership.

Every girl should be an inspiration for one another, but most of all "empowering beautiful minds and enabling brighter futures." (Victoria Tsai, Founder)

The Hip Trail

  Taking a stroll in the suburbs can be quite fascinating, especially when you come 

across a hip trail with an unexpected surprise.

Graffiti often gets seen as vandalism, but it's also a form of art.

Think about it for a quick second, graffiti was inspired by Egyptian monuments and

Italian word grafficar, but then there's also the "tagging" which only signifies the writers presence.

Tagging is not necessarily art because it doesn't really produce an aesthetic feeling to the viewer, 

but it does shout I am here and take a look. I don't know why I was so intrigued by this object, 

perhaps is was the colors or the writing style or maybe it reminds me of my inner city days. 

Feeling so out of the ordinary, but yet feeling so in place.

Golden Globes

The Golden Globes show was the best entertainment on TV tonight.

If you did not tune in, you missed some of the best jokes, but most of all some

of the best nominees of actresses and actors. Not to say the room was full

of stylish gowns and suits and I couldn't take my eyes of Leonardo Dicaprio.

 

Here are 3 of my favorite gown looks from the red carpet.

 

Amber Heard with her Gucci Gown was a perfect match for the

red carpet and her look was flawless.

 

 

A Trench Coat

I know many San Diegans like myself are enjoying this change of weather.

The Rain and cold air is actually something to look forward to because

you get to sport short booties along with scarfs and jackets.

I mean common sense is to stay "warm" to avoid getting the cold.

 

The city, lately, has been in storm watch warnings the whole week, but today was a good

day to be outdoors. So, get pretty and throw on your gear to enjoy your weekend. 

 

Mornings in La Jolla

Waking up to a gloomy day, is a feeling that can go either way.

But when the sun start's peeking through

the gray clouds it only makes this new year more sweet and serene.

La Jolla, is just a short trip from the South Bay area and you will find some of the best hiking

trails, scenery and cutest seals chilin by the cliff. The hike will only take about an hour, so wearing my lululemon wild tank with some of my favorite yoga pants kept me cool, comfortable and happy.

Each morning we are born again.

What we do today

is what matters most. ~ Budha

Enjoy life.
