Good products

I tried the EverCreme Cleansing Conditioner, that works like a shampoo, by L'Oreal before work tonight. And I also used the EverCreme conditioner. I was very happy with the result. My hair was soft but also bouncy and had volume. Great buy and a good price.



Pick A Color!



Had a pedicure at a salon today. Last time I went to a salon for a pedi was almost a year ago. I am picky with who gets to give me a pedicure. I like a place in Anchorage called Executive Nails but the man that used to pamper my toes there does not do pedis anymore. Too bad, he gave great foot rubs! So I tried a place in Soldotna today, Nail Boutique and had Dean work on my toes. He was ok. He even tried to dig out a piece of glass that is stuck in my foot since over a year now.
I stepped on glass while traipsing around barefoot under a tunnel at Lake Mead in Las Vegas during a photo shoot. I'll do anything for a great pic! As usual I went with a pink color on my toes. And I always bring my own polish.

Trying these tonight

Tonight I am trying these two Kérastase products for my hair. It is going to be interesting to see if they are worth it because they are on the pricey side.
I have been holding on to the nourishing treatment for a while because I wanted to have a certain Kérastase shampoo to go with it and now I do.
So, Bain Oléo-Relax shampoo and Masquintense treatment, I left the treatment in my hair for about 20 minutes. Hair wrapped up under a plastic cap covered by a towel. Now I want to try the new Cristalliste products by Kérastase, they are made for long hair. And come in pink packaging, so very ME.

Hair Care



I like to try all kinds of products for my hair, well different shampoos, conditioners and leave in conditioners. I have tried so many products, most of them actually.
I don't ever blow dry my hair, use a curling iron or a flat iron. Unless a stylist does my hair for a photo shoot but that does not happen often. No bleach. Nothing too harsh.
I only comb my hair with a wide tooth comb. Sometimes I neglect my hair by not combing it for a few days, I just throw it up in a bun and ignore it. Then it gets tangled pretty badly and I have to sit and carefully untangle it while promising myself to never let it get that tangled again.......(I always break that promise).
In the pic are the current hair products that I got out of my bathroom today.
L'Oreal EverCreme sulfate free intense nourishing shampoo. I really like this shampoo, very rich and creamy. I am planning on trying all the other products in the EverCreme line.
Paul Mitchell super charged moisturizer, this is a great conditioner and it smells soooooo good.
Moroccan Oil intense hydrating mask, I like all the Moroccan Oil products, quality stuff.
Infusion 23 conditioner.
Matrix conditioning balm.
Kerastase Masquintense, a nourishing treatment that I haven't tried yet.
Biosilk leave in treatment, smells very yummy and works pretty well too.
Besides switching up shampoos and conditioners, I sometimes make my own conditioning treatment by mixing together olive oil and about four or five egg yolks. Then I put it all into my hair after I shampoo it and leave this mixture in my hair, loosely wrapped in a towel for about 45 minutes. Then I rinse and follow with conditioner.
In the daytime I usually wear my hair in a bun or sometimes a braided ponytail. It is so long that it gets in my way too much when I drive etc. I sleep with it up also.
I cut my hair about twice, tops three times a year, a few inches every time. My fave hairdresser is one of my besties Angelica but she lives in Chicago now, so I don't see her that often. You want your hair to get long(er)? Don't cut it too often, leave your hair alone, that is my advice.
There is also a place in LA called George Michael of Beverly Hills Salon, that place is fantastic and they specialize in long hair and offer an amazing hair treatment. I try to go there when I have the chance. Pure luxury!

Here I have my hair in a tall unicorn looking bun, this was in Williston a few weeks ago. While waiting for the taxi......

Tatiana's chores

Girl maintenance........at least for this girl.
Tatiana waxes her own legs (thighs mostly), saves lots of $. And it can be done nekkid at odd hours, on the couch while watching tv.
As far as pedicures goes. Tatiana loves going to the salon for a GOOD pedi. But she has not been able to find a place here in town, yet.
Last time she went, some lazy, unmotivated girl did a bad number on Tatiana's toes. Since Tatiana can cut her own toenails and has plenty of
polishes to pick from, she can do her own pedis. For free. But she prefers a good pedi at a salon including a long foot rub.....Tatiana likes her
toenails to be square cut and her feet thoroughly massaged. The square cut did not happen tonight. More like weird cut, oh well.
The result? You need to come back to see that. Tatiana can't reveal everything at once....... HELLOOOOOO!!!
;-)




Green Peel update



Yesterday I drove all the way to Anchorage.......again.....for the final phase of my Green Peel, a moisturizing facial this time.
Now I can wash my face again! Does my skin look any different? I don't think so, nothing I can notice.....for now. Waste of money?
If so....oh well. Now I know at least. Anastassia thought my skin was "glowing" and feeling "like silk".
The skin on my neck is still a little itchy (annoying), so tonight I am going to put a warm oil on my neck and leave it on for a few hours, to let
the oil penetrate and hydrate well.
I have been eating for two this last week, for me and Demi (Moore). For some reason I have been craving everything, no I am not pregnant, it's
that time of the month and I am scarfing down everything in sight. I am the food monster!
Tonight I am going to stay home, watch tv and do girl maintenance, I need a pedicure and a polish change. I definitely need to wax my legs,
the hair on my thighs looks like dark long spider legs. A nice bath. Feeling lazy, chunky and sleepy.
Tomorrow night.....back to work.
