Curls, kinks and everything in between are making a comeback. See the stylish ways these celebs are showcasing their chemical-free hair. It's safe to say we're in the midst of a natural hair movement. A slew of African-American stars have been showing off natural hairstyle ideas that prove chic doesn't always mean sleek. We love that these kinky, curly, natural hairstyles are less stressful on the hair and don't require being chained to the flat iron for 20 plus minutes every morning.

DSH Perfumes- Rendezvous
Perfumer Dawn Spencer Hurwitz has a large and impressive body of work with something for everyone. I personally find her bracing green perfumes, chypres, and bold animalics completely irresistible. Oh, and iris. Always iris. Another reason that DSH Perfumes are my catnip is Dawn's extensive knowledge and deep understanding of vintage fragrances. The complexity and richness of quality raw materials shine in her hands and give me the satisfying experience I'm craving in my perfumes.
Rendezvous, a recent release, was a love from first sniff. It felt like watching one of my favorite George Cukor movies: black & white, full of beautiful and witty heroines in gorgeous gowns by Adrian. Watching them you just know that each actress is wearing a wonderful perfume full of personality, oakmoss, and civet. And had they been lucky enough, they may have been wearing Renezvous. DSH has created a narcotic perfume that combines both heady and indolic white flowers and a superb animalic core that growls at you even before you go for the first spritz, right under the classic aldehydes that let you know that this is a very perfumy fragrance.
Structure-wise, Rendezvous is an animalic chypre. But I don't think of its construction when waves upon waves of opulence wash over me. I do not and will never ever own a fur coat, but this is what I imagine a floor-length vintage one would feel like if it were carefully draped over my shoulders. The sensuality of indolic jasmine and its classic companions, orange blossom and tuberose, makes a statement. There's something in that wonderfully dirty floral barnyard that calls to mind one of most treasured perfumes: Ferme tes Yeux by JAR. It's there in the way Rendezvous gains momentum and charges at you like wild animal who's been hiding in the pleasure garden. The descent into a thick-coated sweet and slightly sweaty musk is another thing these two beasts have in common. I luxuriate in it, savor every moment, and dream of Jungle Red.
Notes: bergamot, aldehydes, white pepper, jasmine, tuberose, Bulgarian rose, gardenia, orange blossom, ambergris, ambrette seed, oakmoss, labdanum, musk, Mysore sandalwood, oppopanax, agarwood, Peru balsam, castoreum, civet, costus, beeswax, vanilla, hyraceum.
DSH Perfumes- Rendezvous is available in various sizes, concentrations, and presentations ($6.00–$305.00) from dshperfume.com. I was sent a sample by the perfumer and promptly bought a small bottle.

New Color Correctors For Every Budget
**Update- New Products Added** Color Correcting has been around a long time but it seems like it just exploded in popularity with brands at every price point releasing their own versions for Spring 2016. So I thought I'd put together a little guide to all of the new options that have just been released in the past few days/weeks. I'll start with the least expensive and work my way up...let's get started!
Essence Say No to Imperfections, Dark Circles, and Redness ($2.99 at Ulta Beauty) are super affordable and in a convenient chubby pencil form. These seem like they would be really easy to just swipe over the area of concern quickly and blend. They're definitely on my must-try list!
Catrice Colour Correcting Mattifying Powder ($6.99 at Ulta)- The ultra-fine, silky matte Colour Correcting Mattifying Powder from Catrice corrects and evens out color irregularities with a blend of four color correcting powders. The pink powder freshens up tired complexions, purple gives dull skin lustre, green neutralizes redness and beige highlights the natural skin tone. Together the ultra-fine, silky-matte powder creates a radiant, healthy finish with a natural matte look.
NYX Color Correcting Powders ($9.99 at Ulta Beauty) come in three shades...green to correct redness, lavender to brighten sallow skin, and yellow to neutralize dark circles. These claim that they can be used both over and under foundation. I wouldn't think a powder would work well under foundation...wouldn't it gunk up? I'd love to hear from someone who's tried it that way!
Makeup Revolution Ultra Base Corrector Palette ($10 at Ulta Beauty)- This contains 8 cream correctors... Pink to brighten, Lavender to neutralize yellow tones, Green to neutralize redness, Orange to neutralize blue tones, Peach to balance out discolorations, White to highlight and brighten, Cream to neutralize purple and cover dark areas, and Brown to balance ashiness in medium to dark skin tones.
Sephora Collection Bright Future Color Correctors ($14 at Sephora)-These gel-serum color correctors are feather light and buildable depending on your concern. Pineapple ceramide helps to improve the appearance of skin texture and add brightness, while the cotton swab-like applicator provides the perfect amount of product every time. Just dip, dot, and blend to neutralize before you conceal.
Green (neutralizes redness), Yellow (combats dullness), Purple (neutralizes sallowness), Pink (promotes brightness), Peach (promotes brightness and evens skintone for light complexions), Melon (promotes brightness and evens skintone for medium complexions).
Ulta Color Correct Concealer Palette ($15 at Ulta Beauty) is a full coverage concealer palette with yellow, green and lavender color correctors, plus a light and medium concealer. It also includes a full-size concealer brush and can be used before or after foundation.
Cover FX Correct Click ($18) and Click Stick ($8 at Sephora) are cream color correctors that visibly even out skin tone by neutralizing the appearance of discoloration. These six shades are universal to meet any correction need. You can use them individually, or purchase the Click Stick for $8 that holds two of the correcting sticks in a sleek, travel-friendly tube.
Green: light and medium skintones (neutralizes intense redness)
Yellow: light and medium skintones (neutralizes mild redness)
Lavender: light and medium skintones (neutralizes yellow and adds brightness)
Peach: light and medium skintones (neutralizes dark spots and undereye circles)
Orange: medium-to-deeper skintones (neutralizes dark spots and undereye circles)
Brick: deep skintones (neutralizes dark spots and undereye circles)
Yellow: light and medium skintones (neutralizes mild redness)
Lavender: light and medium skintones (neutralizes yellow and adds brightness)
Peach: light and medium skintones (neutralizes dark spots and undereye circles)
Orange: medium-to-deeper skintones (neutralizes dark spots and undereye circles)
Brick: deep skintones (neutralizes dark spots and undereye circles)
Smashbox Color Correcting Sticks ($23 at Sephora) are creamy sticks in an array of shades to target skin concerns. These sticks can be applied wet or dry to customize for sheer to medium or full coverage and also include a sharpener. Infused with moisturizing vitamin E to blur the look of fine lines and pores, they create natural-looking color when applied with foundation or concealer. Each pencil-like tip allows you to easily erase imperfections.
The Green shade instantly reduces redness, Lavender brightens sallowness/yellowness, and the Peach (for light skintones) and Orange (for deeper skintones) are perfect for illuminating your skin to conceal dark circles and hyper pigmentation.
Urban Decay Naked Skin Color Correcting Fluid ($29 at Sephora) are ultra lightweight and color correct while blurring imperfections with subtle pearlescent pigments. They also contain vitamins C & E. Mint reduces redness, Peach masks circles/spots, Lavender balances sallowness, Pink brightens dark areas, and Yellow corrects dullness. If these are anything like the Naked Skin concealer formula, count me in...I love how lightweight and blendable it is.
Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer Corrector ($29 at Sephora) are a little different from the rest in that each one is meant specifically for a particular skin tone. The Fair/Light shade (left) contains light orange to neutralize blue tones under the eyes and green to counteract redness. The Light/Medium shade (center) contains yellow to counteract red/purple tones in the eye area and orange to neutralize the blue tones of spots and discoloration. The Medium/Deep shade (right)to has a red-orange corrector to neutralize blue/green tones in the eye area and dark orange to neutralize brown/green tones typical of spots and discolorations. Like the Amazing Concealer, these claim to be highly pigmented, requiring only a pin-dot amount on an affected area. I love that these are targeted toward specific skin tones...the Fair/Light shade would be perfect for me to hide under eye circles with the light orange and the redness around my nose with the green. And if they're as concentrated as they say, they'll last forever.
Beautyblender Micro.Mini Correct.Four ($30 at Sephora) these aren't actual color correctors but I wanted to include them because these special mini Beautyblenders are meant to use to apply color correctors. Each color symbolizes a different corrector so you can use each one with the matching product. That way, you can use different correctors on different parts of your face without having to wash your BeautyBlender in between! They’re perfect for applying formulas to smaller areas such as the under eye, around the nose, above and below the browbone, chin area, and for covering acne and dark spots.
Papaya neutralizes deep blues and greens for tan-to-deep-bronze skintones with blue undertones, and Peach neutralizes dark circles and hyperpigmentation for beige-to-deep bronze skintones.
Algenist REVEAL Concentrated Color Correcting Drops ($38 at Sephora) is a weightless color drop serum that combines microalgae, alguronic acid, and microalgae oil to instantly color correct, treat skin, and cover imperfections. The really cool thing about these is that you can use them alone or add into makeup or skin care products to help balance skin’s texture and tone for smoother, more even, and longer-lasting makeup wear.
Green Color Correcting Drops: green microalgae and pigments work in synergy to color correct and neutralize redness.
Apricot Color Correcting Drops: golden microalgae and pigments work in synergy to color correct and neutralize dark, discolored skin.
Blue Color Correcting Drops: blue microalgae and pigments work in synergy to color correct and neutralize sallow skin.
Pink Color Correcting Drops: red microalgae and pigments work in synergy to color correct and neutralize dull-looking skin.
YSL Touche Eclat Neutralizers ($38 at Sephora)- Discover the award-winning complexion highlighter, now in a must-have, color correcting highlighter. It instantly cancels and neutralizes color imperfections for flawless skintone, and the easy-to-use, one-click brush allows you to perfectly target the problem zone.
Green: Corrects blemishes, conceals redness for an even skintone.
Bisque: Corrects dark circles and dark spots. Illuminate.
Violet: Corrects yellow dull skin for a healthy glow.
Bisque: Corrects dark circles and dark spots. Illuminate.
Violet: Corrects yellow dull skin for a healthy glow.
Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Wipeout Color Correcting Palette ($45 at Sephora on 2/29) is an all-in-one color correcting, contouring and brightening palette that contains six cream shades. Each shade is numbered and it comes with a guide that gives step-by-step instructions to help you perfect professional color correcting techniques. Orange counteracts darkness; Green neutralizes redness; Warmth sculpts, contours, and defines; Peach 1 camouflages light to medium skintones; Peach 2 camouflages medium to deep skintones; and Yellow highlights and brightens.
Stila Correct & Perfect Palette ($45 at Sephora) contains five sheer-to-medium color-correcting creams with buildable coverage and two finishing powders to set the creams, plus even out and brighten your skin tone. Peach: neutralizes dark under-eye circles on fair/medium skintones. Pink: Brightens eye area and masks fatigue. Yellow: Neutralizes hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
Green: Counteracts redness (i.e. from rosacea, acne, broken capillaries, and sunburn). Orange: Counteracts dark under-eye circles on darker skintones; also neutralizes veins.
Whew! Can you believe how many color correcting products are out there right now? I really want to try those little Essence sticks and maybe one of the NYX primers. Also, the Amazing correctors look great, but I'm not sure I need something that heavy-duty so I might try the Urban Decay ones instead since they seem to be more sheer.
Which ones look interesting to you? Have you tried any of these yet?

Casual Dresses for Spring + H54F No. 36
one / two / three / four / five / six
Can you believe it's freaking March? I mean, really. It's March. Next thing you know we're going to be putting up that stinkin' Christmas tree again!
The one good thing about March is that it's the month when those in the midwest begin to see a glimmer of hope after a long and dreary winter and those of us in SoCal start scraping together enough pennies to pay for the impending air conditioning bill. This means it's time for some casual spring dresses to help keep cool, fresh, and trendy.
I'm really loving all of the pieces up there. My favorites are the Oasis Denim Shirt Dress, Stroke of Genial Dress, and the Sandy Scoop Neck Maxi Dress. I think all of these are casual enough to be great day dresses, but could be dressed up with some good accessories and make it suitable for a casual night out with friends. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Review: Fuego Subscription Box for February 2016 and Intro Box
 |
| This is the Fuego Box for February 2016. |
Ask anyone that knows me and they will tell you that I like things hot. I am not shy in the least when it comes to admitting that. The hotter the better is my motto. After all, what is life without something to kick it up a notch like the intense pleasure rush that a Fuego Box can bring those of us that can’t have enough hot, spicy flavor in our foods.
The thought of all that heat that I was about to unbox with a hot sauce subscription box of three small batch, artisan-made sauces gave me that warm, tingling feeling as I anticipate what degrees of sizzling heat I would soon experience.
I didn’t get one Fuego Box, but two. This confused me until I discovered that everyone gets an intro box with two initial hot sauces for their first box along with a small 33 Drops of Hot Sauce booklet to record the tastes of what was to come. I, however, lucked out and got one extra bottle of these best-selling sauces and two sample packets of Palo Alto Fire Fighters Pepper Sauce! The cost is $29.95 per quarter with free shipping or $12.95 for one month with a $5.00 shipping charge if you want to try it out without any commitment. You also get a card with a description of each product and suggestions on the best ways to enjoy that particular hot sauce.
 |
| Check out my introductory Fuego Box . |
In the intro box, I got Frankie V’s Spooky White, which got its moderate spicy fire from white and orange habanero peppers along with garlic, onions, mustard, ginger and just a little sweetness. I did try some on scrambled eggs and it was sensational. Make sure that you shake the bottle to blend those amazing spices.
The second artisan hot sauce was Born to Hula’s Ghost of Ancho. This one had a different twist of smokiness and also had a hint of sweetness, but definitely not for the less adventurous palates among us with its wicked heat. If you pour too much, a glass of milk comes in handy to cool your throat down. Milk does help cool that fire. It uses habanero ancho and Bhut jolokia pepper. I liked this sauce on my hard-boiled eggs and fish sandwich.
My third bottle was Sweet Heat by Crazy Good. This one has mild sweet heat in a three pepper smoked pineapple sauce that you’ll want to pour on practically every dish. Even those that don’t care for nippy foods will adore this one for its delightful flavor twist.
The Palmo Alto Fire Fighters Pepper Sauce is mild hot with red jalapeno and habanero peppers. I mixed this packet in my tuna salad spread and it was good.
The February 2016 Fuego Box had Sweet Savina Sunrise (S3) by C & C Foods. I thought that I knew the degrees of hot until tasting this one, which broke the record in my hot sauce experience. Prepare to eat some tangy, liquid fire with this one! It has ghost chili peppers, mangos, onions and garlic in the flaming blend.
The Marshall Serrano Ginger Lemongrass was a different green sauce using citrus to keep the Serrano peppers in line along with fragrant spices. I considered it fairly mild heat with distinct, interesting flavor.
Last in the box, I discovered Ghost Scream Hot Sauce that had a vigorous kick of heat to it thanks to the ghost pepper and artful spicing. I really enjoy hot sauce topped hard-boiled eggs and this one passed the Mary test with flying colors!
Seriously, Fuego Box has won my heart. For one, you can experience tastes from those artisan-made sauces that can’t compare to typical grocery store brands. Furthermore, it is a value with what you pay for a subscription. To prove my point, check out the prices of all the hot sauces. Therefore, take Mary’s word for it. Fuego Box is an A+ delicious way to spice up your life or to give as a gift. Do check this subscription out and fire things up!

Causes and remedies to control hair fall in women | Hair loss treatments for women
In comparison to men, women are much more conscious about their appearance. Constant hair loss can make them feel extremely under confidence and even ashamed about themselves. A woman’s worth is never defined by the amount of hair on her head. But on the other hand, strong hair is a sign of good health too.
