Low Cost, High Quality Hair Care

That describes coconut oil. This splurge-free item isn’t just great for cooking. When used on dry hair, it adds shine. And when you put it on wet hair, due to its chemical structure, coconut oil also penetrates the cortex, treating the interior of each strand to keep it healthy. Whenever I treat myself to this natural indulgence, I first shampoo my …

Follow Your Heart

To me, this phrase has always seemed to be a romantic–but faulty–metaphor. Logically, I thought that falling in love was following my mind. After all, isn’t it your mind that tells you you’re in love? When you act on impulse, doesn’t your mind tell you to act? Well, after reading some interesting research on kissing, I’ve decided that there is …

Style from Mexico

Here’s another handmade beach find from my Cabo trip. I eyed this sweater as another girl was purchasing a different one from the same beach vendor. Mine was tucked so deep in his pile that only a peep was showing. As I bought it, the girl told me she wished she’d spied mine sooner. So my tip when choosing handmade, …

Film Industry Workplace Wardrobes

Congratulations to those about to graduate from college! Since this is Travel Thursday and I’ve posted about some of my film industry work in LA and NYC, I’m answering questions about what to wear to job interviews there. And, as you all know, I love requests, especially about anything involving fashion. The trick with interviews is to dress for the position you seek. The tricky part …

Shailene Woodley’s Fashion

Spring is here and celebs have already begun shamelessly wearing white. Yesterday, I featured Shailene Woodley’s hairstyle. Today I’m highlighting her Insurgent red carpet fashions. As you can see, she was all about the color white. And the last time I stepped inside a mall, I noticed that white was taking over the racks. So I didn’t want to be …

Style Inspired by Shailene Woodley

After I saw this pic of Shailene wearing fashionable feathers at the London Insurgent premiere, I wanted to try the trend. So I went to an arts-and-craft store, perused the feather section, and chose one. I didn’t want to out-and-out copy Shai, so I picked a green-based feather. Since I have long hair, I did a version of a French …

Dance Like You’re WORTH IT!

Okay, all you dancing darlings, it’s time to get our groove on! Here, I’m breaking down the steps to Fifth Harmony’s, Worth It. The other day, I heard a guy say, “The sexiest quality in a woman is confidence without conceit.” In Fifth Harmony’s video and performances, they strut their stuff while belting out the lyrics with a carefree appeal. …

Handmade Fashions

I had to part with Cabo San Lucas, but that doesn’t mean I also had to part with the souvenirs I picked up there. Personally, I think some of the best Mexico fashion finds come from itinerant beach merchants. I don’t know why, but a girl can be lounging on the sand, totally tuckered out from mega fun the night …

Shake That Booty

You know, Jennifer Lopez isn’t shy about showing off her BOOTY, and neither is Iggy Azalea. Here, I’m teaching dance moves to this infectious song.

Dancing on the Beach

I’ve received a request to teach dance moves to the Jennifer Lopez song, Booty, featuring Iggy Azalea. Of course, the answer is yes! So get ready to shake your butt because the video is coming out tomorrow. I say if you have a big booty own it, and if you don’t…well still own it:) And speaking about owning things, I …

Couples’ Quotes

I snapped this picture with my phone while relaxing on my beach chair in Cabo; it’s paradise in one click:) Here is a variety of touching/adorable/funny comments from couples around town: “I’ve been with my husband for thirty years and each day I fall more deeply in love with him.” “Bars were invented for men to wait in while their wives …

Dressed Up

When a girl needs a dress, a girl can never go wrong with Ted Baker. That’s who I’m featuring here in Cabo for Fashion Friday. It’s the weekend and a vacationer can expect lots of sunbeams, dancing, and fun. Anyone who knows me, knows dancing is one of my favorite weekend (and frankly weekday) activities. This Ted Baker dress flips …

Another Dance Video

Somebody has hot dance moves! That would be Natalie La Rose in the music video to her new song Somebody. Here’s a choreography tutorial so you can learn to dance along. Since this is Travel Thursday, I want to share that after filming the video, I rushed off to dinner at The Office. I’ve mentioned before how much I enjoy …

Loving Cabo

…And Kate Spade. Which is why when I eyed this Love dress of hers, I knew it was going in my suitcase. And speaking of that L word, a traveler definitely feels the love here. People are ultra-friendly and everyone is encouraged to join in everything regardless of age differences. I’ve already started a tradition of morning water aerobics where …

Celebrating an Irish Holiday …

…in Mexico, and proudly wearing emerald green, the perennial beauty trend this time of year. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! People say Cabo San Lucas is a city that never sleeps. I say it’s a town where party-lovers take a siesta from about 8-to-10 pm and 6-to-10 am. During the day, vacationers explore the marina, plaza, and little shops lining the …
