SONG OF THE DAY+LOOK OF THE DAY

Today's song of the day is one of my favorite songs, "The Greatest," by Cat Power. And today's look of the day is one of my favorite actresses in Hollywood right now, Zoe Saldana. In this picture the adorable Saldana is wearing a sheer layered tank top with a textured mini skirt by MaxMara and YSL pumps. This outfit definitely complimented the actress's little frame.

Men Hooked on Pretty Soaps!

Sudz 'N Bubbles, an online boutique specializing in handmade soaps is apparently appealing to a lot of men out there. According to Cindy Tollen, the owner and founder of Sudz 'N Bubbles, her fastest growing clientele is men. Sudz 'N Bubbles creates all natural glycerin soaps as well as bath salts, lotions, shower gels, body butters and lip balms. Cindy started the company 4 years ago when her son's doctor suggested that he bath with glycerin soap for his eczema. Cindy discovered that glycerin soap was very costly and invested in making her own soaps. Apparently most soaps are detergent based but glycerin-based soap is an all natural soap that leaves the skin much more moisturized and fresh. Sudz 'N Bubbles even has an adorable collection of soaps called, Bubblin Bakery line. This consists of a collection of soaps that look like delicious pastries such as, Strawberry Creme Pie Soap, or Cherry Tart Soap. The soaps don't just look like desserts but smell like them too. So why do men love them? Apparently they love how the soap leaves their skin a lot smoother than ordinary soaps. "I literally have to conduct business like a drug dealer with some of my clients. I have local customers insist we talk in private and only communicate through text messages," says Cindy. Most of the men order the old pure soaps, but Cindy admits that there are some who are not afraid of the pretty scented soaps and have ordered special orders of soaps with customized fragrances. Cindy has even included a soap designed to remove the human scent and it smells like dirt. It doesn't get any manlier than that! This is considered to be the manliest of all her soaps and a lot of her male clients get a kick out of it. Think your man could get hooked?

The Dominican Hair Salon Experience!

Dominican women love their hair! We pride ourselves in taking care of our hair, leaving it as healthy and beautiful as possible. And Dominican hairstylists love to make your hair look beautiful. There is no hair salon experience quite like the Dominican hair experience. The other day i went to Rizos Spa in Corona, Queens to get my curly hair blown out straight, and man did they do one hell of a job! There is no blow out like the Dominican blow out, which leaves even the curliest of all hairs soft, and silky straight. I go whenever I'm looking for a change from my usually curly hair. So let me explain in further detail the Dominican hair experience. Most Dominican hair salons are not by appointment but by first come, first serve, but it really depends where you go. I love Rizos Spa because they work extremely professionally so they do take appointments and do value appointments and you're not waiting there all day long like you would in your typical Dominican hair salon. You are taken to the sink and your hair is washed and conditioned, many times with Dominican hair products. For five more dollars you can request to have a deep conditioner treatment added, but if you want to be cost efficient bring your own. They'll apply it on to your hair, put on a clear shower cap and have you sit under the hooded hair dryer for about 15-20 minutes with the treatment on. Afterwards they'll rinse out the treatment and you can request if you want a blow out or your hair set. When they set your hair that is referred to as the regular lavado y secado (wash-and dry or roller set). The hair is then set with the rollers and you are left to sit under a hooded hair dryer with the rollers for about 45 minutes to an hour depending on your hair length. Once your hair is dry, the stylist straightens out the curls with a big rounded brush and a blow dryer, leaving your hair silky, smooth and straight! If you live in the Queens area, check out Rizos Spa in Corona, Queens. It's the Dominican hair salon experience combined with a sophisticated spa experience, and all at a pretty reasonable price. If you don't live in Queens, tune it soon for a post I will be doing on the best Dominican hair salons throughout New York City!
