Wood Perm

by Carol, posted in Hair, Salon Review
I decided to get a perm in Cali since they’re soo cheap! Unfortunately, being in Cali without a car is pretty difficult. I typically get my perms in Garden Grove or Diamond Bar, but I had a few hours to spare in Irvine. I ended up just trying out a brand new place thanks to my best friend Yelp.com. That is how I found Delerbang Salon in Tustin!

I asked the lady for a digital perm (only $80!) but she looked at my hair and recommended a Wood Perm. What’s a wood perm? She described it as having the same effects of a digital perm, but it is way less damaging. They just use wood rollers and put on the potent stuff without any steam or machine.

Yaz… good or bad?

by Carol, posted in Health, Self
I’ve been on birth control for 5 years… not only to prevent pregnancy but also because I have the craziest PMS symptoms and irregular periods. Once a month I can be found sprawled on the bathroom floor (ANY bathroom floor) dry heaving, having the worst cramps and wanting to diarrhea all at once. Sexy huh?

So I decided to go on Yaz!

Tattoos and makeup

by Carol, posted in Makeup, Product Review, Skin Care
I have one tattoo. And that whole saying about “once you get a tattoo, you want more”?? Yeah right! I’m completely done with one! I got it right on my 21st birthday and I wanted to do it as my last wild thing in my last significant birthday.

Everytime I get a massage, I get asked “oooo are you a Leo?” Just a warning, if you’re looking to get a lion’s head tattooed on you, people will either think you are a Leo (I’m not) or that you got it after the Las Vegas hotel MGM. (I didn’t….Why would anyone do that?!)

C's one and only tat

H20 Snob

by Carol, posted in Health, Self
My friend and I consider ourselves Water Snobs! Are you?

Luckily, I LOVE drinking water and drink abotu 3 cups as soon as I wake up. Living in NYC and walking around makes me even thirstier! It sucks because I have a small bladder and almost always have to wake up to pee in the middle of the night. But hey — drinking tons of water is great for your skin & health, so it’s totally worth it!

These are my favorite types of water:

Self worth – Part 2 .. measured by ..

by Jina, posted in Self
A while ago, DOVE released this video.

There’s no denying myself when I say I don’t feel better about how I look when I stick on a few pairs of false eye lashes on.

It’s pretty insane what photoshop can do.

Beach waves – part 2

by Jina, posted in Hair, Tutorial - Hair
C posted back here on how to get the beach waves. But complained how frizzy it left her hair!

When dealing with heated hair products here are a few tips to avoid the frizz!

- HEAT PROTECTANT! It doesn’t have to be the fancy salon brands. Tresemme’s heat tamer is pretty awesome for about $5.

- Invest in a high quality heating tool. High quality doesn’t always come at high prices. BEAUTYCHOICE has the HOT TOOLS brand for about $30-$40. The great thing about BEAUTYCHOICE is that they release coupon codes weekly!
