PRETTY SCIENCE
I would like to dedicate this blog to modern bond-building technology and the biomimetic science behind it. Over a decade ago, when I was in cosmetology school, had we gotten particularly frivolous with our abuse of lightener and hot tools, options for resolve were limited. In wake of disaster, we could opt for a Samsonesque […]
MASK REFLECTION
Before working under the mask mandate, I had never realized exactly how much I relied on reading people’s lips when communicating. Sure, blow dryers, salon gossip and my personal tinnitus were partially to blame for this. However, in lieu of mass (or, mask, if you will) reflection, I can identify the real problem. I was […]
LIKE A MOTHER
The days of mothers running themselves ragged and tearing themselves absolutely too thin in lieu of the needs of others are over. At least, they should be. After a pandemic ally grueling year, we’d like to propose those who haven’t adopted the “you can’t pour from an empty glass” attitude, do so immediately. Self-care really […]
OH, THE HUMANITY!
I could preface this post with some quick witted catch phrase but I’ll just say this, the atrocities of the year 2020 are so unparalleled that I’m, frankly, tired of making jokes about that exactly. I am by no means above above letting a full face of makeup melt off into a bath tub while […]
Pandemic Hair Loss
If you’re not one of us finding ourselves rubbing our concealer free, scratchy red allergy eyes in the middle of the night (anytime, really), losing our shit as we come to and realize that this year was not in fact a dream, you deserve an award. You have an grandiose amount of either strength or […]
A REMEDY FOR RENEWAL
Is it more difficult to believe that this year is almost behind us or that it actually happened? Debatable. Following African Dust, killer bees, getting used to seeing everyone you know wearing a mask, globally ordered house arrest, toilet paper shortages, and a perhaps unparalleled universal level of uncertainty, I imagine we could all use […]
PHASE FREE!
This past Friday, September 25th, Governor Ron DeSantis announced that Florida is moving into phase 3 of reopening and what a journey it has been getting here! Saint Patrick’s Day was essentially cancelled and it seems as though some sort of socially distanced slumber happened where time ceased to exist. From quarantine to the DIY […]
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE
What a time to be alive, am I right? From quarantine, to social distancing, to no longer being able to simply go out and make an ass of yourself on any given night, things are happening: DIY HAIR IS HAPPENING. At home hair experiments, often inspired by the internet, are nothing new. However, the “new […]
ESSENTIALLY BEAUTIFUL
An upcoming collaboration by Bond Street’s owner Lauren Donald and makeup artist, Martha Borowska, has made me sit back and really think about what beauty essentially is. The said collaboration is a photoshoot showcasing models who are “essentially different”: not your run of the mill blonde, photoshopped, tiny waisted portrait children of capitalism. I’d say […]
