random acts of beauty kindness …
can you believe summer is already winding down and a fresh new season is beginning? as much as i love everything about summer, i am always looking forward to the fall season.
one of the things i notice clients doing as we go into the new season is making small changes with hair color and getting serious about hair treatments and problem solution beauty options. summer can be tough on skin, hair, nails and even feet. taking things in hand to undo damage or improve the status quo just feels right in september.
one way to look at this trend is that it is about random acts of beauty kindness … mostly for yourself, but beauty makes a great gift for teens, friends, family … or anyone on your list because everyone needs and loves a little more beauty.
when random acts of kindness took hold as a catch phrase to describe doing small, unexpected things for others, it was surprising how it stuck with me … and i now know i am not the only one. there is a whole website about kindness.

it seems to me it’s a very timely concept. check out the link on the web site about the dalai lama and lady gaga’s presentation on kindness and how it can influence our world.

just as charity sometimes begins at home, taking the time to give yourself some random acts of beauty kindness fits right into september’s mind set about fashion, style and the excitement of a new season. my list of random acts of beauty kindness (to give yourself or someone else) is below, and i am sure you can add some creative ideas of your own.
we’ve always felt that the fall Vogue, and now of course vogue.com is the premier go-to for a look at fall into holiday trends in hair, beauty and fashion.
personally, i love it when the trend ahead has already emerged, plus you can see where it is headed. you may not have an occasion or inclination for a beaded lace metallic dress cut all the way to there, but there are so many subtle ways metallics are a new neutral. brighter, shinier highlights may be your interpretation, or a fun clutch you can use day or night. for fall into holiday, our smokey shimmery eye make up looks may be your new go-to. you can stop by our boutiques anytime for a glimpse or lesson in how to use metallic make ups.
