Give Yourself Some Head
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under bargain, gifts, hair
Some Head Organics hair products, that is (gotcha, didn’t I?). A Best of Beauty award winner in 2008 and 2009, the California-based Head Organics opened their doors in 1969 — yeah, I didn’t know that either — and true to their founding spirit, they have since set the standard for sustainable, organic hair products that both work beautifully and smell fantastic.

Beauty Q&A with GirlPaint: Free Advice for A More Beautiful You
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under DIY, bargain, concealer, cosmetics, education, foundation, hair, handmade, makeup, recipe, skin care, sun care
Recently I became a member of MakeupTalk forum. I LOVE posting on forums, and not because I want to promote myself or my blog (although that’s a nice benefit if other members like my posts), but because I really, honestly like giving advice, tips, tricks and product reviews. It’s the reason I started blogging in the first place.
