It FINALLY feels like spring, and that usually means requests for changing up or adjusting your cut and/or color. Evidenced by Julia Roberts' new modern fringe by Serge Normant, whether the change is big or small, it’s always such a great move to switch things up.
I’ve been a practitioner of yoga and meditation for years. I consider it my religion – the way I connect with myself and with Spirit. It forces me to shut off my mind and be present. Because that’s all we have, right? The present.
The past is unchangeable and the future hasn’t happened yet so I try not to spend too much time in either of these places. My yoga teacher always encouraged us to feel each pose, not just to do it because doing is the state of moving towards the future, while feeling is the state of being in the moment.
Hanging with my friend, director Alma Har'el is the best way to end the 2023 awards season.I’ve been coloring Alma’s magnificent curls for over 15 years now, when we both were new to LA with just some big dreams in our heads. Even though she lives on literally the other side of the city, she’s loyal to the bone to Highbrow Hippie, so to get the chance to help style her hair when she attends the final night of awards season was a no brainer. I get pure and utter joy just being a spectator and a cheerleader.
The absolute highlight of the week. Sandy and sun-kissed golden curls for legendary artist Calida Garcia Rawles, an esteemed member of this year’s host committee for Frieze LA.This was my second time working with Calida on her overall look, and we decided to go with this electric blue DVF sequined wrap dress from my collection, in honor of our alma mater, Spelman College.
Since we landed on stress as our conscious living theme for March, there has been a lot of talk about what it is and how to identify it. A google search yields many different results, but for our purposes we are defining stress as a physical or mental response to an external cause. To put it simply, it’s a reaction. Our bodies are designed to handle and process stress in small doses, but when it becomes chronic it can have serious effects on all systems of the body including the musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, gastrointestinal, nervous, and reproductive systems. Think about how you feel when you are stressed - your body feels tense, your breathing is shallow, your heart races, your stomach might hurt or you may feel nauseous.
