Coconut Cure-all

As many of you know, our boutique is nestled in Beverly Hills on the lovely, tree lined Civic Center Drive. We love this neighborhood for many reasons, but one of them is that we are neighbors with a few of the most fabulous salons in town. 

We are always inspired by the perfected tresses on all the lovely ladies that breeze through our store, having just had an appointment at Byron & Tracey  http://www.byronandtracey.com/ or Neil George Salon http://www.neilgeorgesalon.com/. 

We have all become much more hair conscious since seeing these bevy of beauties every day, and so we have had to learn a few tricks of our own to keep up with the neighbors.

Here is a recipe for our favorite and most effective at home hair masque.

It's very simple. All you will need is a jar of organic virgin cold-pressed coconut oil, a shower cap and a small head-wrap towel (the towel is optional, but it's much easier if you do use it.)

Simply scoop out a generous amount of coconut oil and apply throughout your dry hair, concentrating on the ends. It is also fabulous for you scalp if you don't mind spending an extra bit of time shampooing it out afterward. 

Once you have really saturated your hair with the coconut oil, twist it up on top of your head, cover with the shower cap and wrap the towel around over that. 

Depending on how dry your hair is, leave it on for at least 45 minutes or up to an entire night!

(Tropical traditions is the best brand of coconut oil on the planet, http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/virgin_coconut_oil.htm )

Coconut oil is the only natural oil to be proven to actually repair the hair shaft, rather than just temporarily smoothing it. It works amazingly well!

Coconut oil is also excellent for the skin (even troubled skin) as it is ultra moisturizing, reparative, anti-microbial and anti-fungal. All those properties make it an excellent supplement to take internally as well, very healing for the inside of the body! Eat 1 tbsp. each day for gorgeous hair and skin from the inside out.

Squeaky wheel gets the oil...

To those of you who called and wrote about our annoying website glitches, problem solved!  

To those of you who had no idea - we got our hands dirty and fixed it anyways.  Not quite as dirty as below, but close...

Fernweh...

The travel bug is a real thing.  You feel it in your bones.  And before you know it, it's taken over your mind!  Around this time of year, it's hard not to get the nomad itch.  It's the desire to see, hear, taste, and smell something new.  And of course, buy a few unnecessary vacation necessities.  It's usually things you have plenty of and really do not NEED, but there's something remarkable about the feeling I get when I pack fresh Basic Tees and a brand new bronzer into my suitcase.

During a recent Pin Interest binge, we stumbled across the most perfect word to describe our early Summer travel funk; Fernweh.

We have been officially diagnosed.  Fernweh - proving that the travel bug is real.  SIGH, we feel validated knowing we are not alone.

To make matters worse, we spent a little down time today perusing the store's Assouline books.  We had a hard time making it through In the Spirit of St. Barth's and Paris Hotel Stories, but it was Condé Nast Traveler; Room With a View that really did us in.

The book is literally about the world's most dreamy hotel rooms.  It's cover to cover full of the most vivid photos, detailing the best rooms, within the best hotels, with the best views.  See a few below that made our favorites list.

Call it what you will.  

I've had enough.  Meet me at the Admiral's Club; I'll be the girl with the floppy hat and glass of Chardonnay awaiting my flight.

Back to Bloggin..Soon

The Fall '12 collection really put us in a tailspin!  Hence, we have been completely neglecting this little blog we love so much.  Kinda feeling Mommy guilt..

Nevertheless, we think Fall '12 is absolute perfection.  A sneak peek from our favorite look book thus far.

Since we've been holed up in our office and deprived of all sunshine - a girl can only dream.  Current fantasies involve the below.  Two more weeks of somewhat organized chaos and we'll be back to our regular schedule.
