    You’re in the middle of a great conversation, your about to make the most amazing point and then it happens. “There’s something in your teeth.” Your friend wasn’t listening at all! She was totally distracted by some stupid flake of food and didn’t even hear your story! It’s a fact of life: Humans are distracted by clutter…

    As a builder’s wife I have learned that there is one trade that can make or break a home. In the beautiful custom properties that my husband builds, every detail is done with excellence. Most of his customers know better than to cut corners; seldom does a homeowner say, “I want to do this part myself.”…

    Women love makeovers… if they are watching them and not experiencing them, that is. Most of us would far rather glean ideas for improving our image by watching someone else’s transformation than by being put in the vulnerable position of undergoing the complete change ourselves. Wouldn’t you agree? I used to call my image assessment…

    My whole world was rocked the day my first husband left me.  Pregnant and alone, his betrayal made me feel ugly, unwanted and self-conscious. Before then, even though I was a hairdresser, I never really focused on my own appearance because, honestly, I was afraid of being shallow or vain. Suddenly it was a struggle to stand in front of a mirror all…

    Life is a journey in search for significance. Our innate desire to be valued is apparent as soon as we enter this world. Newborns thrive when they feel loved; a neglected baby suffers not only emotionally but physically. Each of us is born with a strong desire to know who we are. A child is like…

    One of the leading causes for a chaotic closet is weight fluctuation. Who wants to wear clothing that does not fit correctly? Pulled and puckered fabric draws attention to bulges; loose and hanging clothing gives an impression of insecurity and inadequacy. Either problem creates a self-consciousness that can easily be prevented with properly sized garments.…

    Katherine Lee Bates said it well: America the beautiful. Our spacious skies, fields and mountains certainly are majestic, not to mention the music-hearted seas that grace our beautiful shores-but really, every nation has some kind of beauty to be appreciated. Perhaps America’s greatest beauty is the very thing we celebrate this weekend: our independence. When…

    Do you ever feel like you are completely alone because no one understands you? After a few years of working full time as a hairdresser I began having back problems. Here I was in my prime of life ending each day in excruciating pain. I felt like such a wimp!  My co-workers and clients thought…

    Six seconds. That’s how much time you have to make a first impression. It is important that your image represent you well. Now and then we each need to do a Wardrobe Rehab. The best way to start this process is to take an audit: Who are you? What do you wear? What you do…

    This is a great time of year for a new hairstyle, but asking your hairstylist for suggestions might not be wise. Not unless they’re experts from https://yvonnehodgsonhair.co.uk, then you can definitely rely on them.
