Services provided by Salon Verde for review purposes only. All opinions are 100% my own.
Salon Verde is a green salon located in Mizner Park in Boca Raton, Florida. The Salon uses all Davines products! I adore the smell and feel of my hair after using Davines products. Salon Verde is also used Davines color which I did not even know existed! I have not tried the Davines dye yet, but I am dying to (pun intended).
ZPro Salon & Spa Review: Boca Raton, Florida

Zpro is an ultra modern hair and nail salon in the Fountain Plaza (7600 West Camino Real, Boca Raton, FL 33433) next to Asia and The Butcher’s Block. Everything in the salon is ultra modern with the primary colors being white, chrome, and purple. Everyone at the Salon is super nice. I couldn’t get a babysitter that day and everyone chipped in to help so I could get hair and nails done. Tammy Wayne did my nails. I picked Little Brown Dress from Essie for both my hands and toes. I like that there are 2 locations to get manicures. 2 tables are the first floor and 2 other tables on the second. With the 2 areas for nails, and you can choose your experience. The upstairs nail section is a spa experience, and the downstairs is more of a hair salon experience. You get to pick!
For Breast Cancer Awareness Month a few local fashion bloggers got together to help with fashion for a cause. I went shopping all over town looking for pink items for the photo shoot. I found a pair of Dolce Vita neon purple pumps at Plato’s Closet in Boca Raton, Florida.
Anushka Salon & Spa is the first spa that I have visited in a while that impressed the pants off me. Founder of Anushka Salon & Spa, Anushka believes in personal service, and it is obvious in speaking with her and everyone that works for her. Anushka listened to my concerns and gave me a game plan to deal with my struggle with being a new mom and a fashion blogger that needs to look good for photo shoots like the one I am doing for Fashion for a Cause and Bloomingdale’s this week.
Burberry’s Fall 2013 runway was one of my favorite runways this year. The heart print tops, dress, bags, and shoes make me want to wear heart print all the time. I have not found any heart print outfits that work on me yet, but I am definitely on the hunt. I put a collage together for you below that shows some of the heart print items that are available in stores. As I try them on, I will let you know how they look and also show you pictures. If you find any cool heart print items, please let me know. In the meantime, try these Burberry Runway Inspired Nails.
Fall is around the corner and I am loving this Rococo Red nail polish from Nuance Salma Hayek. The color reminds me of the amazing red lips that were all over the runway this fall. Nuance Salma Hayek is only sold at CVS stores. The pictures with yellow background is where I painted 2 coats. The color of the polish is much deeper than the bottle. With one coat the color is lighter than in the bottle. Great price at $5.99 per bottle. I like both color so I cannot complain!
I found Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat Nail Polish at the drug store the other day. Sally Hansen says Fuzzy Nails and I say Tweed Nails! There are many colors of including a few different blue and greens. I chose the black and white Fuzzy Coat called Tweed because it reminded me of Chanel’s Tweed Suit. I put on 2 coats and topped off the edge. I had to paint my hand a little to get into the corner, but that might be because I can’t see very well. It worked out fine as about an hour later, I washed my hands and picked that part off my skin.
I am obviously on a mermaid kick! Check out last weeks, MANIcure MonDAY post! I might be just excited to watch the little mermaid will my daughter, Cami. I would love if I could find an awesome mermaid costume for her first Halloween. It will be here before you know it! Until then, I am going to continue wearing my Mermaid’s Dream Nail Polish by Deborah Lippmann. Today, I layered it over a cream colored chalky nail polish called Mod in Manhattan by Color Club. I received it in my Birch Box a few months ago.
I decided to institute Manicure Mondays in a effort to keep my nails looking presentable now that I am a mommy. This way my followers will keep me accountable! I started using this cuticle dissolving lotion by Blue Cross. It makes it really easy to do my own nails because I don’t have to cut my cuticles. In the past, I have always gone a little overboard on cutting down my cuticles in that I end up cutting myself. This way I can leave the cuticle cutter alone and focus on just polishing my nails. Today, I painted my nails with Mojito Madness by Essie and Whimsical by Revlon. The color that comes from layering the milky blue from Whimsical over Mojito Madness looks very similar to Mermaid Tears by OPI that I wore here and here.
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.
Hawaiian Tropic has gone from glorifying bikini bodies to celebrating the whole woman, inside and out! Real women, now, have the opportunity to become the New Face of Hawaiian Tropic. The Hawaiian Tropic® brand still has the amazing smell that we all remember from childhood. I have been using the SPF 30 Hawaiian Tropic Spray … Read more
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!
