6 Conversations to Stop Having With Your Hair Stylist, Immediately
I am an artist of many mediums. While words are my preferred, I also work in hair. By day, I work as a cosmetologist in a small but busy corporate salon and am always looking for a way to incorporate the two—my day job and my career. To that end, today I am offering you six conversations you need to stop having with your hair stylist, immediately:

New Face and Confidence With Semi-Permanent Makeup
What if there was a way for your face to always be ready to go, no matter the situation? There is, it’s called micro-blading or powder brows, depending on the procedure that is chosen. To learn more about this process, I talked with New Face owner Christine Hwang about all things semi-permanent makeup. She was also kind enough to let me sit in on a session where she tattooed eyebrows on to a client. It was an eye-opening experience.

How To Protect Your Skin From the Sun Naturally
Sunburns, rashes, wrinkles, and, of course, skin cancer are all potential dangers of getting too much sun with too little protection. One important thing to do to avoid all this and more is applying sunscreen. You may know how to reduce sun damage after a sunburn, but there are many things you can do to protect your skin from the sun naturally and stave off any harmful effects of UV rays. Because while you want to avoid these dangers, you don't want to avoid the sun: it provides necessary things like vitamin D, as well as the warmth and light to have fun outdoors. Up your skincare routine, and take good care of your skin year-round so you don't have to hide. A diet rich in antioxidants, as well as other topically applied substances, can drastically reduce your risk of side effects from sun exposure.

While there is no shame in struggling with skin problems with the season changes, there is something you can do to make it better. One of the best ways to help dry skin during the summer is to get facial sprays.

Disclaimer: I spend my dough, that gives me the right to have an opinion. If ABH pays your bills, by all means, leave. As we “intelligent” human beings know, understand, and (should) accept, it is impossible to like or dislike everything from a single brand (Subculture anyone?). A bad product does and will reflect on a brand. It is what it is. I am always a devil’s advocate because what may or may not work for me will work vice versa for someone else. So the gist is that this review is based on my experience, and skin type (medium-tan with pale undertone and oily skin).

I Used Organic Body Oil on My Hair and This Is What Happened. Top Story - July 2018.
There are a lot of things I have managed to tame over the years. I’ve managed to tame my wild style into something that looks visually appealing. I’ve been able to get my driving style to be a bit tamer than it used to be when I first started driving. I’ve even been able to tame my spending habits—for the most part.

Moroccan Spice Palette
First Looks The palette and packaging are both a beautiful navy blue, almost purple color. The cover of the palette has beautiful—what looks like—smoke clouds of magenta, pink, and purple in the center, as well as the Fenty Beauty name. The back of the palette has all of the names of each of the shades inside of the palette. The names correspond to the other side of the palette. If you're looking at the first color on the right of the packaging sticker, then that will be the first color on the right inside the palette. The palette itself is made of plastic and is suggested to last nine months from opening, according to the label given on the back of the palette.

Disclaimer: Critiquing a brand is not a crime. Threatening someone over it, however is. I bought this eyeshadow with my own hard earned money, therefore I have the right to form an opinion on it. I consider myself to be a neutral reviewer, where I talk about both the pros and cons based on my experiences. Trust me that I can find at least one of each in an overall good or bad item. I am a medium-tan girl with a pale undertone and oily skin. It’s still available on the market for those who would like to pick up this limited edition palette.
