Friday Firsts:

Hey there, 

Since this is all new I thought I would kick off with a commitment: every other Friday I'll do a little review on a new product I'm using. As a bit of a shopping addict that shouldn't be too difficult. 

As this is the first week I figure I should start at the top, Shampoo. Ichikami moisture shampoo to be exact. 


I have always had a bit of an obsession with Asian products and living near an Asian market doesn't do anything but feed this love. So when I ran out of shampoo it was only natural to stop by on my way home from work. I was instantly drawn in by the scent of this, a light floral of apricot and cherry blossom. It also was decently priced at $14.99 USD for its size. 

Later that night I took my shower. I took two pumps and scrubbed it through my wet hair. To my surprise it created a HUGE lather, a little odd as it is parben and sulfate free which is typically the stuff that makes a large lather. Also odd as it normally take me two scrubs and rinses to get my hair clean. But heck, why knock it if it's working well and it seems like it will last me longer than a normal bottle does. As I scrubbed I also noticed I wasnt shedding as huge globs of broken and dead hair like I normally do. Super plus! My hair is so thin and damaged from coloring I can't afford to loose any more than the normal daily shedding. 

The next morning when my hair was all dry, I brushed it and styled it for work. Again I wasn't loosing as much hair! It also made my hair smooth and shiny. Not as fly-away as it usually is but certainly not flat like some products make my stick straight thin hair. 

If you are in need of a new shampoo soon you can pick this up at most Asian markets or you can buy it at www.sasa.com. I'm so glad I found this and I can't wait to see how it works in few more washes!

Dear Ladies,

It is so often us ladies are bombarded with images of women with their tongues hangen' out; I'm looking at you Miley, or their boobs hanging out of their shirts (nip slip) on tv or the Internet. We often forget what is deemed "appropriate " public behavior. Especially when in a bar or a club. A short dress is cute and sexy till you are stumbling about with it half way up your butt. This blog is my reflections and tips of social do's and don'ts for the bar/club scene mixed with a taste of my love for all things beauty and lifestyle. 

I'm a mid twentys girl strolling my way through the LA Sunset Strip. During the day I work at a tech company and at night I'm a parent to a potbelly pig named Annie Hog and a Lab mix named Arya. I'm also the long time girlfriend to a sunset strip staple.

When I first set foot on the strip I was in the Viper Room. I knew I was meant to stay, even if I was underage at the time... Shhh. I attended a show for the band Warner Drive which was booked that night by my now boyfriend and his then business partner/ very good friend. It was both magic and my first taste of the horrible decorum that happens in bars. 


Come watch how this journey unfolds.
