I don’t know about you, but I love being a girl. No matter what time of the year it is, if I want to completely change my look I can change my hair color, get a hair cut and adjust my makeup accordingly and I feel like a completely different person.

I have been going back and forth whether or not to have long hair or short hair. I got married last August and I grew my hair out for a year for the wedding. So after the wedding the first thing I wanted to do was chop it all off - and I did!

Since I cut it off to about shoulder length, I have been letting it grow out ever since. It has been about six months so I finally have some length back. Now it comes down to this question - do I keep the look I have had for the last few months or should I start looking at new hairstyles?

My whole life I have always had the pattern to go blonder in the spring and summer time and darker in the fall and winter. The problem is I have been blond now since last summer and I am getting bored with it.

I think next time I go to the salon I am going to get a whole new look! I want to add a bunch of brown back into my hair and just give it a little more of an edge. The picture I attached is what I have in mind.

I will keep you all posted on how it goes…

Wish me luck!

Have you ever thought about having a tattoo removed? When I was eighteen I made the mistake of getting a tattoo and now that I am older I really regret this decision. I have been looking for a good Los Angeles laser tattoo removal clinic. Since I live in the LA area I prefer a dermatologist who is close, but also someone I can trust.

Celibre is not only close to my home, but they offer advanced laser dermatology to meet all my needs. They do everything from acne treatment to Botox to tattoo removals. Los Angeles Dermatologist Celibre offers over 30 years of custom injection and laser removal experience so I know I can trust them with my skin.

My mom is currently in the market for a wrinkle removal treatment so when I go in for my consultation she is going to come as well to talk to the dermatologist about the different options available to her that will best fit her needs.

She has thought about having Botox done but she is also interested in laser removal treatments. I am so excited for our appointment! I will be sure to keep you posted on how everything goes.

Have any of you ever heard of Pandora jewelry? It is the latest rage when it comes to high quality jewelry! You may be asking what is Pandora jewelry and where did it come from?
Well Pandora jewelry is originally from Copenhagen, Denmark and moved into Northern Europe before coming to the United States in 2002. Pandora was inspired by Greek mythology and is a Danish jewelry line that combines fashion with versatility, which creates the bracelets and charms that allow you to create your own masterpiece.

To build your own Pandora bracelets all you have to do is purchase a starter base and you are on your way! Starter bases come in a variety of materials from 14k gold to sterling silver to leather. Once you decide on the prefect starters, the next step is to determine what size is going to be the best for your bracelet needs.

Pandora bracelets come in sizes 6.1″, 6.7″; 7.1″, 7.5″, 7.9″, 8.3″ and 9.1″. With so many sizes to choose from you want to make sure that you have the prefect fit. There are two ways to find the prefect fit.  The first option is to go into a local Pandora dealer and have them fit you. The second option is to measure your wrist yourself,  making sure you add on the extra length of your finger in between where the chain would be and your wrist. This insures you have enough room to add beads to your bracelet.

After following the above steps it is up to you to create jewelry that matches your outfits and individual needs! It is that simple!

When the weather gets cold - you have to keep dressing warmer. What are the winter weather styles for 2009?

Lets start with the most important layer - a good coat. Depending on your budget a nice coat can be anywhere from $100 - $1,000. I know it is a big price range, but remember you are going to get what you pay for. When looking at winter jackets there are a few things to keep in mind. First of all, you want it to be warm - the whole point of a jacket is to keep you warm and toasty. The second thing to consider is versatility. The more versatile the jacket the better - think of it like this, a black jacket vs. a bright colored plaid jacket - which one are you going to get the most use out of? Last but not least you have to remember a flattering fit. You do not want to look like a marshmallow! Choose a style that is flattering to your figure and your pocket book.

Once you have found the perfect winter jacket the next step is to find the perfect boots. During the wintertime a good warm pair of boots can provide good insulation all winter long. Whether you go with ankle boots or knee high boots make sure they are the right fit for you. This winter boots are hotter then ever - be sure to check out all the latest styles such as tie up boots, lace up boots and even cut out shoes!

So you have the shoes and the jacket it is now time to think about the perfect winter hat. I myself am a visor bean fan. They are warm, cute and very stylish. They are also very affordable. Not only do they come in a variety of colors and styles but they are very versatile and can be worn with just about anything!

I hope these styles give you a jump-start for your winter wardrobe!

That’s right - you read it correctly. There are ways to enhance your breasts and you don’t have to go under the knife to do it! Check out these tips to help keep you looking perky!

1. Try buying undergarments that are engineered to help support you in the same areas you would get added support from surgery. A plastic surgeon “Dr. Rey” came up with an undergarment line that provides the same support as plastic surgery.

2. Whenever possible sleep on your back. You can actually develop deep wrinkles in your chest just by the way you sleep. It is also recommended to wear sunscreen and moisturizer to prevent unwanted wrinkles. Dr. Rey goes as far as suggesting a sleep bra to prevent sagging breasts in the future.

3. If you want to down play your cup size, wear colors and shapes of clothing to draw attention away from your chest.

4. If you have a big night coming up be sure to stock up on cookies or cutlets. Cookies and cutlets are little silicone inserts that can enhance cleavage if applied to the outer area of the breasts, they can add support and lift if applied to the bottom of the breasts and over the top if you need to create that perfect shape.

5. Don’t look past the old fashion push up bra. I know what you are thinking - but we have come a long way since the original push up bra.

6. Take the time to find the prefect bra to fit with your tops. The right bra can make a big difference.

7. Don’t be afraid to add bronzer to the girls. A little bronzer can go a long way.

8. Every girl needs the perfect cleavage cosmetic. You can find them at your local Macy’s. Benefit High Beam is recommended.
