I was feeling in need of some pampering last weekend and scheduled an appointment at AvaShay in Brighton, MI. Diane, the owner, creates a pampering environment with a mix of modern and shabby chic decor. I've always been greeted with an offer for a glass of wine...my kind of pampering. For color, Diane used OPI She's Golden and then OPI Hong Kong Collection Pearl of Wisdom as a second coat of color. The pairing of these two colors turned out super pearly white...it was really pretty! She used Hot Dry as a top coat and then put my nails under a UV light. The manicure lasted about 5 days.

Shu Uemura Art of Hair's Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Oil is just what my hair needed. Between highlights and low-lights, using Ion Hard Water Shampoo and Ion Crystal Clarifying Treatments, my hair has never been so dry!
Essence Absolue is an oil that intensely hydrates dry and damaged hair, adds protection during color application and shine with a UV protector. As soon as I roll out of bed in the morning, I use a dime size amount and work it through my hair. I let it soak in while eating breakfast and then shampoo it out in the shower. I can tell an immediate difference after using this. My hair is soft and healthy looking, and it adds a nice shine to my strands.
You can use this daily, but I only use it 2-3 times a week and see results. It smells like camellia petals, aka flowers. It's $65 a bottle, which is definitely pricey, but if you have severely damaged hair, it would be a good investment buy.
“This oil-free formula give skin a soft-matte finish that looks healthy and natural—never heavy. And it’s buildable, so you can customize your level of coverage.”
-- Bobbi Brown
This oil-free, long-wearing foundation balances oil and combination skin, so you’ll have a soft-matte, even-looking complexion without needing to pile on powder throughout the day. Sponge-like powders absorbs excess oil on the surface of the skin, while emollients lock in moisture to ensure skin stays perfectly balanced. The transfer-resistant formula helps create a barrier against heat and humidity for 8 hours of wear so that even in the most humid climates, makeup stays in place. In addition to a range of 20 yellow-based shades, this formula contains an oil-free emulsion system that delivers a blend of finely milled pigments, spherical powders, and mica for natural-looking coverage.
