"Beauty draws us with a single hair"- Alexander Pope

What's the new trends? What's the new styles? What cuts are in?

Honestly....who cares? It's the truth. Let me explain: Everyone's hair texture and type is different. Everyone's face shape is different. Everyone has a different "style." These are just a few of the things that need to be considered in making a choice for a new hairstyle for yourself.

That being said, just because everyone and their mother seems to be wearing the "Victoria Beckham" bob, doesn't mean you should run out there and be like Susie asap. I mean, have you seen Victoria's jaw line? (AMAZing) There are however, variations to every cut. Like look at this:

or this:

These are all variations of a "inverted bob" or "Victoria Beckham" cut. But notice, Kelly Clarkson has a rounder face, so the cut is modified for her face shape. Katie Holmes might have said she wanted to hide her forehead...so she added bangs, but still the same cut. 

There are different textures you have to consider as well. Like for instance if you have super curly hair, you most likely are not going to have straight across bangs, unless you desire to straighten them everyday. In my opinion, though, I love love love the inverted bob on someone with curly hair. It is one of those cuts that show off the style through the curls. 

So when you go to your stylist and ask "What's the new cut"? And She/he says "The mullet" please don't say "do it". Well all don't have a "Billy Ray" face. 

I do, however have a favorite cut I like to do right now..(if your style allows) LAYERS

So next time you go see your favorite stylist, cut out a picture of something you like, on someone with a similar face shape and similar hair texture. If it's not right for you, they will (or better) let you know. So be daring! 

Remember: A good cut and color allows your hair to do all the talking.

Beautiful breakfast

If you are like me you wake up fairly early every day, and if you are like me it is quite hard to eat breakfast that early in the morning. And if you are like me then by the time you are ready to eat, half the morning is gone and you might as well wait because lunch is right around the corner.

Or maybe you are really not like me at all, but that is ok because that is why I like you.

Every once in a while though I will stumble across something at the store that catches my fancy and I will think to myself "you know, I really need to eat breakfast again, I think I will try this." And off we go, me and my little ambitious spirit, and I will think, "this time I am going to stick with it and eat breakfast every morning forever!" And that little ambitious spirit will last maybe a week, and fizzle out. (I did call it a little spirit)

Well on my last conquest to the grocery store, while I was searching and searching the isles for yummy-ness  for my poor gluten free husband, I decided to be a little selfish and take a gander at the cereal isle. Behold! I found my new cereal that I promised myself I was going to stick to this time! I always go for the cereals with the little surprises of fruit in them! They make me smile as I eat them..crunching away on the cereal and "oh!" there's a little bite of sweet happiness! Reminds me of Boba tea! Yummm. Those little tapioca balls just make you smile.

(I have a great place we like to go, if you're interested)

Anyways back to my cereal...so I found this one from Kashi. So wonderful! But this time, I told myself, once I get bored with it, I will add bananas or another fruit to my bowl so I don't burn out. (because I easily do) So tomorrow will mark day 2 of my cereal eating routine. Lets see how far I go with this one!
