natural beauty
Are you a fan of novelas? I used to watch them growing up with my mom and sisters. We would be biting our teeth with our hearts pounding to see the drama unfold every day. “Arranque de Pasiòn, La Historia de Ela” is the newest Univision original series to hit the big screen of today: your computer. This online novela started on April 5th and releases 5 minute episodes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. It features some of my favorite people like Kate Del Castillo, Gabriela Vergara and so sexy Carlos Ponce. The story line is about a competitive race car driver who encounters love, competition and all sorts of drama. Take…

in review: King Spa and Sauna
It was a day of sweating and relaxing at King Spa & Sauna. I had heard of a place in Dallas that was huge, with different kinds of sauna rooms, Jacuzzi, pools and Korean-style food.

After 2 weeks of unruly hair, roots and grey’s showing like nobody’s business and straw-like ends, I had enough and couldn’t wait to see “my girls”. I went all in- got my color done (f-u grey’s!), cut off my split ends and chemically straightened my hair with a Brazilian Blowout. After the hours of transformation, I feel like I can go out in public again… It’s a tough thing to find a good person (or…

the yonka incident
When I lived in Houston and wanted to get into the beauty world, I took a job working front desk at a brand new spa. By brand new I meant hadn’t yet opened, in the construction building stages and still recruiting for therapists, estheticians and nail technicians. I remember feeling pretty darn special that I was able to be a part of something so new. Since this spa was going to be in the “uppity” area of Houston, they wanted the staff to be as informed as possible of the exclusive lines they would be caring: Yonka and Jurlique. Thus began my obsession with the spa beauty world. We had seminars, workshops,…
