I just got the best cut ever! Read on to find out who did it! (Hint: she’s at Ramirez Tran Salon)

October 21, 2016

I did it! I finally did a much needed chop chop and I could not wait to call Erica (you may remember she gave me a Brazilian Blowout a few months back) at Ramirez Tran Salon to hook my shit up! And did she ever!! WOOT! HAPPY AF!!

In 2006, Erica Birdoes made the move to Los Angeles from Arizona to pursue her passion for hair and landed herself to work in some of the top salons in the world such as Fred Segal Beauty and Chris Mcmillan salon.

Erica’s style can be described as polished yet undone with an effortlessly sexy edge. She is a diverse hair cutter, well rounded in all lengths and hair textures. Anything from classic cuts and styles to more modern shapes and movement. Erica was an educator for PRIVE products for 3 years, traveling around the country teaching women’s cuts as styling as well as men’s hair cutting and barbering trends. She also specializes in Brazilian blow out and custom tailors the smoothing treatment to her clients exact needs. As an artist Erica believes that everything she does from clients in the salon making minor changes or great changes to editorial shoots and fashion shows creating hair pieces and looks is a complete reflection of herself and her aesthetic. She is inspired by classic iconic beauty as well as textures and colors in fashion and nature. She loves to work with the natural texture of hair, never fighting it only enhancing certain elements and tweaking where needed by cutting and smoothing with Brazilian blow out customized every client. Her work shines in editorial, film, runway shows and taste makers from Los Angeles to New York.

HEY YOGIS, HERE’S A LINE OF SKIN, HAIR AND BODY PRODUCTS JUST FOR YOU! YUNI BEAUTY

October 20, 2016

I walked into the chic boutique of ALO Yoga studio in Beverly Hills on Tuesday evening to attend the gorgeous launch of YUNI BEAUTY and was blown away. YUNI BEAUTY is a beauty line, inspired by the athleisure movement, offering “mindful beauty for an active life.” I had the pleasure of getting a first hand tour of each product from Emmanuel Rey, the founder himself, with much in-depth description and yummy sampling!

My stand out favorites were the SHOWER SHEETS; perfect for a post yoga session or workout wipe down (when your yoga studio has no shower available!) that smell incredibly clean, packed with essential oils AND the WIND-DOWN WONDER, a delicious warming body oil spray I used last night straight out of the bath; the perfect thing to send me off into blissful sleep!

YUNI BEAUTY is a unique beauty and wellness line designed by yogis who have been in the beauty industry for more than 30 years.

Their products are perfect for those seeking a continuum of beauty rituals in alignment with one’s overall wellness and self care. I’m in!

October 17, 2016

With Summer officially over and Fall in full motion, now is the time to focus on creating a barrier between the world and your delicate skin. Exposure to the upcoming Winter elements, pollutants and harsh cleansers can leave skin dehydrated and damaged.

Enter Skinfix, a super accessibly priced line available at Target. Yes, you heard me Target. So when you’re stocking up on your kids soccer shorts and family toilet paper, you can grab skincare that is Groomed LA approved for a nice low price point!

The Skinfix product line is clinically proved to rebuild and improve the skin’s natural barrier for healthier skin. I recently tried the full product line, and after just one month, I’m hooked. Not only did my skin immediately appear visibly brighter and cleaner, I have a bonafide healthy glow.

Each luxurious formula in Skinfix’s Healthy Skin Face Collection is infused with a unique Healthy Skin Lipid Complex™, clinically proven to replenish essential skin lipids and maintain a healthy skin barrier. Designed to work together, the regimen is infused with rich emollient oils, proteins, peptides and natural extracts that encourage radiant, healthy, soft skin.

An added bonus — the line is inspired by the beauty and intricacy of South Korean pottery and the formulas are packaged in double-walled, airless bottles making them both beautiful and functional.

FOAMING OIL CLEANSER $14.99, MOISTURE BOOST SERUM $29.99, HYDRATING LOTION $19.99, NOURISHING CREAM $24.99, BRIGHTENING EYE CREAM $24.99

October 3, 2016

Hollywood Glow Treatment™ at the BIO MED SPA at Garth Fisher’s office.

I just had one of those mega-facials that takes the cake. The new BIO MED SPA located within the offices of the great Dr. Garth Fisher is something to behold. As you can imagine, it is one of the mecca’s in the field. Top notch, flawlessly divine staff of warm, lovely, welcoming women who make you feel truly special with their every interaction and the overwhelming feeling that you are in the best of hands. I experienced the The Hollywood Glow Treatment™ which basically takes care of your every need (just read the list below!). This is one of those treatments you just GO FOR, when you need that yearly overhaul, in between whatever other upkeep you are doing – be it fillers and relaxers ( I have heard rave reviews about their expertise with this as well, though I have yet to try). Of course I fell into the deepest of sleeps as soon as the steam started. The Pelleve portion was something I have been wanting to try (more below about it) and it felt amazing. I highly recommend this doozy. I walked out with my skin glowing (as promised) and I can’t wait to book two more to complete the full series and reap the full benefits! Save up and treat yourself for the holidays!
