Since it's officially spring time, I thought I would show off my most recent fave pedicure with a great nail color from Nicole by OPI. It's the perfect shade of dark blue with grey undertones. This particular color acts as a neutral and looks good with everything.
Three Quick Fixes to Cover Your Grays
What's a brunette girl to do when she has random gray hairs popping up every day (they seem to come out of nowhere) or is in need of a quick fix between colorings? I found three great products that work well to cover grays. Read on for more...
My grays are around the front and within the crown of my head. Here they are camouflaged well. Nail color is Essie's Merino Cool. Jewelry by Kelly Gerber.
One of the best ways to cover gray hairs is with the TouchBackQUIX Hair color Marker. It comes in several shades and is easy to apply and control. It's REAL hair color in a marker that bonds to hair and will not rub or flake off. Just lift hair up and away from the scalp and apply to gray area. Washes out with shampoo.

Everpro Beauty Gray Away temporary root concealer has a self-adjusting color technology that matches hair color perfectly and dries quickly. The spray application product is made of mineral derived pigments (no dyes) so it's safe for pregnant women. It's perfect if you have a lot of concentrated grays...no more line of gray roots in between colorings. Available in two color options--Light Brown and Dark/Brown Black.
Roux Tween Time Temporary Hair Touch up stick a temporary color crayon that applies like a lipstick and washes away with shampoo. I like this product because it is good to keep in your bag for quick touch-ups or for travel.
Create the Perfect Cat-Eye: Lessons from Alexa Chung
I love the look of a cat eye but find most liquid eyeliners difficult to control and time-consuming to apply. Thanks to "it" girl Alexa Chung, there is a product that's so easy to use, it's pretty much dummy-proof.
Alexa teamed up with Eyeko to develop a set for creating the perfect cat eye, her go-to beauty look. Below is a quick video by Alexa Chung on how-to create the perfect cat eye!
My daughter Rachel is a big fan of the cat-eye look so I asked her to test out and demonstrate the product.
Step 1: Draw the outer line first and wing out from the top of the lid. The EyeKo liquid eyeliner is like a pen marker and can be applied with great control.
Super Easy to Apply
Step 2: Finish with EyeKo mascara for extra thick, dark lashes. Add a dark lip stain and a quick brush of your favorite eye shadow to complete the look.

The verdict: Amazing new product. LOVE!
