Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm

Posted by: jesskuh | Posted in: Health & Beauty

I used this a few days ago, for the first time, after coloring my hair.
I’ve used it on three other people since.
I love it! I immediately could tell a difference.
My hair felt so much more soft and moisturized. It looked shinier and healthier. The other ladies I used it on loved it too!
I recommend trying this if you have dry or damaged hair.

You can buy it here for $23. It’s a big jar of it, and a very little bit goes a long way.

Definitely worth the money, it will last you a while and I’m sure you’ll like the results.

Freak of Nature!

Posted by: jesskuh | Posted in: Health & Beauty

I am unfortunate enough to have very fine, very thin, very straight hair.

I am sure I’m not alone in this. Those of you who share this hair type are probably constantly looking for things to do and use to make your hair look less flat. Less straight. Less boring.

Well, I am too.

I tried Love, Peace, and the Planet (Tigi’s) Freak Of Nature.
It really works!

Obviously you can’t just put it in your hair and walk out the door, so this is what I did;

I put it in my hands (doesn’t take a lot, maybe the size of a quarter), ran it through my hair with my fingers, massaged it onto my scalp, and blow-dried.  I blow dry my hair upside down, it’s easier for me, and it adds more volume.

So that combined with the Freak of Nature = a lot of volume! Comparatively. Not to mention, it smells GREAT!

I love it, I’ve used it twice this week and I’ll continue to use it.

Buy it here for $14.95.  Trust me, you’ll be glad you did.

Grassroots Sweeping Success

Posted by: jesskuh | Posted in: Health & Beauty

I love exfoliators. I love how they make your skin feel new.
(Because that’s what they’re intended to do).
Sweeping Success

I tried this face buffer by Grassroots and fell in love on the first try.
I followed the directions exaclty, and it worked.
My skin felt SO soft instantly.
I proceeded to make everyone I know try mine at least once.
Okay, only once, I didn’t want to share TOO much. ;)

A lot of people will exfoliate many times a week, but that’s not how you should do it.
They’re really only meant to be used once or twice a week. That’s what this Sweeping Success recommends also. Exfoliators are too harsh to be used like daily face washes. I learned this by trial and error a while ago. :)

Smartskincare.com says this about it ;
“Except for people with extremely oily skin, daily exfoliation is not a good idea. Your goal is to remove the dead cells from the skin surface. It takes at least a few days for a sizeable amount of dead cells to accumulate. If you exfoliate more often than that, you may be removing too many living cells, increasing the chance of irritation and skin damage. ”

So, my advice to you; by this face buffer, follow the instructions, use it twice a week.

Click here and you can buy it from Happywayfashion.com. It’s only $9.50 and totally worth it. Trust me.

Bare Eyes

Posted by: jesskuh | Posted in: Health & Beauty

If you’re like me, and don’t always want to completely wash your face to take your makeup off

(although you should, I should! ), then you definitely should invest in eye makeup remover.

Bare Escentuals usually makes pretty natural products. This one isn’t really, so if you’re looking for that it might not be the best for you.

BUT, it does really work! 

It’s not as oily as most eye makeup removers are either. 

Not too expensive either.

I like it. Try it!

Halloween Costumes

High-waisted skirts

Posted by: jesskuh | Posted in: Health & Beauty

I recently went to a funeral, and I was not looking for fashion trends there, but I noticed at least 8 girls wearing high waisted skirts.

I’ve seen them elsewhere too, all over Atlanta.

Here are some favorites.

 

I really like the second one. The high-waisted skirt with the tights looks so good. 

It’s getting pretty cold too, so that’s actually doable! :)

Michael Jackson: This is it! The last song – What do you think?

Posted by: kindergarden-graduate | Posted in: Health & Beauty

His movie is here 10/28/09. Make sure to go see it on IMAX. I think it will a moving experience. His last song takes the same name as the movie and it surely moves you. Maybe the melancholy over his passing makes the song, the event even greater. But all in all it is really a beautiful song and Michael really touched the world his own little big way. His much anticipated new album also titled as the movie will be released on 10/26/09.

The album’s first disc features some of Michael’s hits, arranged in sequence as they appear in the film. The disc ends with “This Is It,” which includes backup vocals by The Jacksons.

Disc two offers previously unreleased versions of some of his classic tracks.

The song will play at the close of the film, which will feature Jackson’s career highlights and last rehearsals, his publicists said.

Listen now here.

Frisky!

Posted by: jesskuh | Posted in: Health & Beauty

If you’re like me, and get bored of straight hair, then you probably enjoy trying products like this. 

I personally like the messy scrunched look, and Catwalk’s Frisky does it.

If you’re looking for curls, well, it doesn’t really do that… maybe curl in first? ;)  

It does make your hair wavy though!

The fact that it smells pretty good doesn’t hurt, either.

I like it! 

You can buy it here…

Try it out! 

Eyeshadow primers.

Posted by: jesskuh | Posted in: Health & Beauty

They will change your life.

Well, at least the way you feel about doing your makeup… 

I don’t think we have any on the Happy Way Fashion website yet,                                                                        but you can find them at beauty stores and department store, until we get some! ;)  

This stuff is amazing, I tell you. I didn’t used to really wear makeup to work, because makeup NEVER stayed on my eyes. Now, I wear eyeshadow, because it stays. All. Day.                                                            Not to mention, it makes the eyeshadow colors much brighter!

I use Urban Decay’s, but pretty much every makeup line has it.

So all you ladies should definitely invest in some primer! 

Bumble & Bumble…

Posted by: jesskuh | Posted in: Health & Beauty

Extra Strength Holding Spray definitely holds!

The first time I used it this is what I did…

Made my hair look insane/wavy, sprayed it with the holding spray, put it in a ponytail, and went to work.

When I came home 7 hours later and took my hair down, it looked just as insane.

It didn’t flatten out or anything, it was still ridiculously curly.

I love this stuff. It works.

Just make sure you don’t spray too much in one spot, or there will be white stuff in your hair.

(Someone is special, and didn’t think about this. ;) )

You can buy it at www.happywayfashion.com, as well as tons of other Bumble & Bumble products!

Ralph lauren – Spring/Summer 2009 – Watch the Show

Posted by: kindergarden-graduate | Posted in: Health & Beauty

Check out the new designs for Spring/Summer ’09. Ralph Lauren did it again.
I particularly like the long dresses and the sexy hats. Absolutely gorgeous.
Summer 2009 is going to redefine fashion altogether. Sensual, subtle and sexy femininity is en vogue.
Get out, party, show off your fashion penchants and your smooth sexiness.

The celebs are rockin the red lipstick!

Posted by: jesskuh | Posted in: Health & Beauty

Everyone’s wearing bright red lipstick now. 

Some can pull it off, some can’t. I’ll post some pictures, you can decide.

I personally love the pale skin/dark hair/red lipstick combo, but it’s not for everyone I suppose. 

I’m not brave enough to wear it very often at all. 

But there is something about red lipstick that instantly makes a girl feel pretty! 

I should give it a try more often… maybe. 

Giovanni Natural Mousse

Posted by: jesskuh | Posted in: Health & Beauty

I just got the Giovanni Natural Mouse Air-Turbo Charged. Giovanni is an organic brand, so this mousse is almost all natural! Not only does it smell really good, but a little really does go a long way.

It actually holds, too.

You can get it at Target, Walmart, and most other drugstores.

It’s only about 8 dollars.

Fashion and Happiness – What link?

Posted by: kindergarden-graduate | Posted in: Health & Beauty

Well it is clear by now that the focus of Happy Way Fashion is to somehow link fashion and happiness. That link however can elude many or be so apparent for others to the point where it becomes misconceived. Misconceived? Maybe Not the right word but you get the point.

Our way of linking Fashion to Happiness is clearly that fashion just like any art form contributes to our happiness. Fashion needs to be contemplated, observed, admired, hated, loved, appreciated, disgusting… In other words fashion, looked at the happy way, embodies all emotions. It is like a Woman, it is like Life. You get the theme here right?

You can’t take life without the hurt nor can you take love without the pain or Fashion without the faux pas…

Fashion is utter ecstasy, a real form of Happiness when we realize that it needs to be savored every moment, every instant, every day. Take time to savor it from now on. When you put something on from now on take time to admire it, to contemplate it, to debate and to let it flow.

Once you let it flow it will make you happy and comfortable. Again really bend to its will and you will be fine. The angle here is that no matter what you wear, no matter what it costs, no matter what brand it is, no matter the fabric, the design… there is no right, there is no wrong; there is only one thing: FASHION.

You accept it as it is and move to its  frequencies and you will blend with it like the wind blends with nature. The wind blends so well with nature because it is part of nature and does not disassociate itself from nature. You blend with fashion but realizing that it is part of you; NOT an outsider. If it pushes you, Pull it toward you; if it attracts you, go to it!  Now that is Happiness; that is real fashion; that is the Happy Way.
