Been a minute...

I know I haven't been keeping up on my blog. Sundays are my only entire day off with no work or school and so blogging really has been last priority. However, I have something new in the works and will post info as it becomes more solidified. Please be patient.

I've been writing scholarship essays, working on a design for a color contest, and my world is still full of hair!

July specials at my school coming soon.

Nails Pin It!

I'm a week late, but my day full-time job has been insane since it's tax season, so my apologies.

This week I wanted to feature some really cool nail techniques but a great news bit was shown on my local NBC news station and I wanted to provide a link to it:


Gel nail polish: Are you getting what you pay for?

I found this to be fascinating because I used to have the ability to grow my nails really well naturally. Ever since getting a shellac/gel manicure in OCTOBER, my nails have been weak and not growing like they used to.

So honestly, I'm just asking you to consider your options wisely.

Short & sweet, I've got another post coming later tonight!

Pin it baby!

So after a brainstorming session with my bestie, I have determined the weekly pattern for my Pin-It posts.

So the first week will be Cutting & Styling - this includes cuts, braids, up-dos, things not involving chemicals because.....

Week 2 is chemical processes - fun with color, perms (they are coming back!) and straightening. Admittedly, I need to learn more about chemically straightening hair, but that's part of the reason behind this blog - DISCOVERIES!

Week 3 - Nails - natural, gel polish, enhancements, cool tips & tricks and designs

Week 4 - Make-up! I love make-up... I had an addiction to buying make-up, fortunately, I've been too broke to indulge, but oh my, I love the ideas I've been seeing and can't wait to share!

Week 5 - This will be the posts on "care" - hair care, face care, implement care (hot tools, make-up brushes, hair brushes, etc).....

Pinterest Crazy

Hi, I'm Kat & I'm addicted to Pinterest. There are so many wonderful ideas blossoming from the minds of so many creative people! So I think I might put those addictions to use by sharing some of my favorite pins here, on a weekly basis, rotating topics.

At my school, to cover all four important areas of expertise learned by a cosmetology student, we rotate our concentrations on a weekly basis. The four my school uses are - cutting, coloring, texture and make-up/nails. I actually want to separate make-up and nails into two separate weeks, since I think they are equally important as individual disciplines.

But where do I fit in hair care? Or styles? I don't want to have too many topics to lose track of. In school, texture includes hair drying, straightening and curling techniques, so can updos, braids, etc be added to texture? Or alternately - link cutting and coloring, chemical curling and straightening together as under one category (name ideas?), styling with blow dryers, straightening/curling irons can be added to updos, etc as "styling"? There are so many topics I love, but I wanna share my fabulous finds in a streamlined manner.

What are your thoughts?
