Day one of my Great Lengths Hair Extensions workshop!  The class is full of very talented people and I’ve learned so much already.

This is where all the fun is happening.  BTW, why do they always make conference so cold?  I need a parka and some HUGGS.

Our super talented and very patient instructors (aren’t they cute?) Alex and Darin. :biggrin:

I am so looking forward to see you all for some fabu locks.

Going to a dermatologist is one of the least used approach to remedy tough skin issues yet one of the most effective.
While your doctor can prescribe an array of treatments specifically addressing the problems, many women and men affected by acne (the most common skin ailment) choose to take it into their own hands.  While I am faithful to some over the counter products you’d have to run me over to extirpate my tretinoin out of my frigid dead hand. LOL!

Have you ever used prescription strength skincare products?  Did it work?

Before we go on about your day, let’s pray for all those affected by the horrendous earthquake that took place in Haiti and if you can, please make a donation.  Here’s a link to the Miami herald with a list of organization that are helping out.

Antibes, French Riviera.

I dreamed last night that I was on the French Riviera with my bestie Pascale at plage Keller in Antibes sipping a club soda.  It was so vivid I could hear the light waves and smell the Mediterranean.  Bonjour to all my French readers.  I can hardly wait for the summer!

We have 3 weddings today then I’m off for a couple of days.  Tonight I’ll be heading to a New Year’s Eve get together at Kelly and Mingo’s.  They throw awesome parties with lots of tasty foods.  It’s kids friendly, I love that!  So what are your plans for tonight?

I’ll be rockin my new Free People outfit and sexy stiletto boots who just arrived from Zappos a few minute ago.

Wishing you all a wonderful new year!  Thank you for being part of Studio Marie-Pierre — We love you!

I go to the gym, a spinning or a yoga studio almost everyday, and seeing women sweating profusely (I kid you not) while wearing full faces of make-up never cease to amaze me.  Just for clarification, when I say a full face of make-up, I mean a going out type of look — The whole enchilada minus false eyelashes.  Isn’t that super uncomfortable I wonder?

Natural for me but…

While I prefer going au naturel, unless I’m heading to the gym after work, I understand the need for some sort of facial cosmetics. Gyms have become quite the social places these days, who would ever want to bump into acquaintances or prince charming looking like THAT?
The dilemma thought is most people get hot and, sweaty, and not only wearing a lot of make-up is bad for your skin since it will clog your pores, but you may end up looking slightly weird when it runs down your face.  Hello!

Go light

So while the definition of “light make-up” differs for everyone, a tinted moisturizer with SPF 20 such as Laura Mercier, a hint of blush, a tad of waterproof mascara and tinted lip balm would most likely be enough to look polished (cute) and go sweat without looking overdone.

Do you wear make-up while working out?

First there was the fish pedi now comes the leech detox.

Recently on the David Letterman show Demi Moore went on to explain how much she is a fan of Leech Therapy. Apparently she discovered the benefit of having your blood suck, while doing a cleanse treatment in Austria, in which leeches were placed on her belly to let them engorged with her blood. EWWW!

Just in case you wanted to see for yourself if leeches are the secret behind Demi’s good looks, keep in mind the leeches don’t like hair “So if you’re hairy be prepared to do a little shaving or waxing. They much prefer Brazilian.”  OK, that’s enough for me.

A word of caution if you’re having lunch, I would advise you to finish it first before checking out the video! :shocked:
