1. I was featured as the “IT Mom” this month on the popular blog That’s It! Mommy. Read all about me here and be sure to check out the blog for great reviews, giveaways, travel tips and more.
2. A few of you asked if you could pull off Mandarin lipstick or if it would look nice with reds or pinks. Here’s a picture of me wearing Smashbox lipstick featured in the giveaway below. I have olive skin and red glasses and I dig it.

Orange lipstick can be a challenge to wear, but with the right shade, it can look amazing, and it is such a fun color to wear for this spring and summer. You look great in that color.
Great Blog Sonya, we need your advice.
We provide a service that most hairdressers do not want to do. How do we reach hairdressers to encourage them to refrain from being so crass, harsh and insensitive to their clients desire to save their tangled matted hair.
In fact most of our clients come to us after their own beloved hairdressers refuse to try to salvage their hair or spend more than 2hours trying. They seem to always tell them to just CUT their hair off as the only real solution.
If they don’t want to be bothered with the task of detangling hair-refer them to hairdressers like us. Cutting their tangled hair is not caring for their hair.
We appreciate your words of wisdom.
love it on you, sonya! you look gorgeous!
