I went to SoBlo last week for the second time to get my hair done for a blogger event hosted by Kristen Clark of Living In Color Print. Kristen is FSU Alum and Style Setter for Boca Town Center which is now basically in my backyard. Kristen is a sweetheart! I also met some awesome bloggers like fellow mommy and fashionista, Alyson of The Average Girl’s Guide. Check out beach chic hair last time I went to SoBlo. Also, check out my sister’s very straight hair c/o SoBlo.

I have been plagued by allergies for my entire life. When I was a kid, I was allergic to dogs, but thankfully that allergy is gone. Now, my worst allergies are cats, weeds and dust. I do have some food allergies that can get annoying like strawberries, red wine, peaches, and marshmallows. Of course, I love all these things! I really don’t have it that bad as my sister is still allergic to dogs and my mom is allergic to the sun. Can you imagine? My sister is living with me and my puppy, Harrison Ford. She loves him so much that she cannot help petting him. ZYRTEC® is her go to medicine when she is suffering after hugging “The Ford”. Sometimes, when I cannot avoid my allergies or I don’t know that I have eaten or been exposed to my allergies, my throat and ears start to get itchy, I immediately look for a ZYRTEC®. For me, the best way to combat Allergy Face is to grab a ZYRTEC®. I have tried to cover up the bags under my eyes caused by allergies, but the best thing I can do for it is take a ZYRTEC®.
There are several ways to combat Allergy Face with makeup tips as 66% of women with allergies feel ugly or unattractive because of their Allergy Face. Don’t let your allergies ruin your day!
Lip gloss is one of my favorite beauty products to shop for. I am very picky and hate all sticky glosses. Lately, I have been embracing my large lips and wanting to emphasize them with some color. I received a sample of Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stain in 9 Rouge Laque at the SoBlo Event a few weeks ago.
Summer’s No.1 Accessory is Hot Legs! Finely manicured legs make you thinner and that is my top priority in the summer! Hot Legs products help you show off summer’s No.1 accessory: beautiful and smooth skin free of unwanted hair! At home waxing products are so much easier and last longer than shaving. Hot Legs products provides painless hair removal that you can do in privacy of your own home. I found the Hot Legs Total Body Wax Strips on a shopping trip this weekend to Walgreens.
The Wild Thing Palette is a limited edition palette from bareMinerals made for spring, but I think the colors work better in the summer. ($30.00 for 0.17 oz.) The Wild Thing featuring 4 shades of eye shadow: Sensational (iridescent aqua), Elitist (bronzed taupe), Icon (electric chartreuse), and Controversy (deep marine blue). The palette is formulated without parabens, binders, fillers and harsh chemicals.
Learning how to wear vests is a great way to add some spice to your wardrobe. Vests were originally only worn by men, but why let them have all the fun with their waist coats!
1. Wear Vests to Spice up Jeans. Start with the all American uniform of jeans and a white t-shirt or white tank top. The jeans can be any cut that flatters you. In my outfit, I chose to wear polka dot skinny jeans and a white tank. I accented with some color by adding teal pumps, watch, and sunglasses. You can accent with your favorite color accessories or just go neutral. In summer, I would add color, but in winter I would go with neutrals like black, brown or gray.

I have been successfully straightening my hair since college when I saw a girl with unnaturally straight hair and I cornered her to ask her how she got her so straight! She let me in on the secret of the Chi! I have bought several Chi hair straighteners since then and they are now being sold at Target. The price has reduced significantly and ceramic straightening with the Chi is no longer a secret. When I was in college and my sister was just starting her teens, I shared the secret with her and my mother. My mom is now getting her hair straightened professionally weekly because her hair is so thick and awesome that it looks good for about a week after she gets it done by a professional. I am definitely jealous of her great hair! I got my day’s hair which is not so bad, but not as nice as my mom’s hair. My sister, on the other hand, got my mom’s thick show stopping hair!
I have not been to the beach in quite some time since we bought a house with a pool, but that does not mean I should stop looking beach chic this summer! Beach hair waves are so fabulous and I wish I had the energy to do it myself everyday! I have natural waves in my hair, but it’s just not the same as getting your hair done. I love the new era of hair salons where you can go into a salon and completely avoid the hair dye smell and just get a great look for a night out or photo shoot. My friend, Sahily of Pretty In Pigment hosted a blogger party at the local SoBlo Salon where they did everyone’s hair and makeup artists from Neiman Marcus YSL counter came to put the finishing touches on out summer looks!
Hello everyone!
I’m Sahily from Prettyinpigment.com and I’m a South Florida beauty and fashion blogger. I have been passionate about makeup since my childhood when I used to put makeup on my grandmother. My skills improved through the years and I have been a freelance makeup artist for over 5 years. Pretty In Pigment is where I share my love for makeup with the world by sharing tips, tricks, tutorials, product reviews and inspirational makeup looks. One of my favorite things about blogging is trying out new products and voicing my thoughts about them, as well as tricks on how to use them best.
I have spent the last few weeks putting together my top beauty picks for summer 2013. Memorial Day weekend has just passed, which officially means that summer has arrived! It’s time to break out the floppy hats, suits, sunnies and your summer beauty essentials!
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, more commonly known as OCC has some amazing products. I first used the lip tar for my wedding. It did not budge and stayed looking great for almost my entire wedding day. That was pretty impressive! The New York based, cruelty-free cosmetics company is well known for their long-lasting lip tars, which became mainstream after they launched at Sephora about a year ago.
I am so glad that summer is here as the summer nail polish colors are so bright and fun. Try this Summer French Manicure and match it to your toenail polish as well. The easiest way to accomplish this look is using shellac or gel nail polish. I had to convince my manicurist that he could do it.
To accomplish this modified summer french manicure: First, polish and completely cure the color polish and then paint the French tip on and cure the entire nail again. This can be done with any color. I absolutely loved my modified Mermaid Tears French Manicure from last season.
I am partial to spring as April actually means spring and it is also the season of my birthday. Here are 30 Springs Trends that we here at April Golightly have featured this year. Check out the spring trend video featuring most of the 30 spring trends listed below. My favorite trends of the season are Eyelet, Monochromatic Outfits, Emerald Green, Flower Crowns, Neon, and Low Chunk Pumps.
When my photographer and I were going over the plan for wedding photos, I chose to spend more time on the photos of me getting ready for the wedding rather than at the end of the reception. The getting ready wedding pictures from Pinterest and wedding blogs enticed me.
Hawaiian Tropic® brand is celebrating real women by launching the Hawaiian Tropic® “New Face” Contest! The brand is reinventing itself by retiring their Miss Hawaiian Tropic Bikini Contests, and launching an online search for the “New Face” of Hawaiian Tropic®.

I am getting bigger by the day and the only piece of clothing that is comfortable for me right now is a maxi dress. I have been buying a ton of non-maternity maxi dress from T.J. Maxx by Max Studio. The dresses that have been gravitating towards either have an empire waist or are scoop necked t-shirt maxi dresses. I figure that I can wear these non-maternity maxi dresses after the pregnancy is over. I hate to spend more money on maternity clothing when I could be buying these non-maternity maxi dresses.
