Halle Rocks A New Pixie

Thank goodness Halle's pixie has returned.  It is my absolute favorite hairdo.   I love short hair, it is just so easy.  Of course Halle Berry could be bald and it would look  fabulous.  Which is actually not so far from the truth. 

It seems she has a movie coming out next year called "Nappily Ever After".  It is based on a novel by Trisha Thomas.  It's about a gal who has spent hours and time straightening her long hair all the while waiting for her boyfriend to propose.  After 4 years and no ring, she finally dumps him and her hair.  She shaves her head bald.  She quickly becomes  free and empowered and builds a new life. 

So I am not sure if this current hairdo is the "Nappily Ever After" shave or just the precusor before she actually does scene and the 'GI Jane/Demi Moore' shave.  Either way she is beautiful and so is her haircut.  In fact, I got one myself last week!

  

I love her necklaces.  I will be listing some leather necklaces in the coming months. 

Patchouli: AKA "Hippie Stink"

Urban Dictionary defines Patchouli as  "A pungent scented oil usually worn by those who live an alternative or bohemian lifestyle. ie:Artist, musicians hippies, bikers, punkrockers etc." 

I think it was in the water in the 60's and 70's because everyone under 20 years old smelled like Patchouli.  Back then, they were in little 1 ounce bottles called essential oils and could be purchased  for next to nothing at your local "Head Shop".  You didn't need more then a drop or two-anymore then that, people would look at you like you just left Woodstock.

Well, like all trends patchouli has grown up, it has a new look, a NEW price, and a new face.   Here's the new patchouli by Tom Ford called White Patchouli with Erykah Badu.

Time Tested Beauty Tips

Time Tested Beauty Tips A poem by by Sam Levenson (A favourite peom of Audrey Hepburn.) For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone... People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed ... Never throw out anybody. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others". (from wannalearn )
