The 2024 presidential election motivated me to have a birthday do-over

on
At the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater Pointe in Time Emerald Gala Today marks a week since my birthday.  Its occurrence is a tremendous blessing. Because all around us are reminders about the fragility of life. To that end, my brother, who always makes a point to celebrate me, took me to the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater's Pointe in Time Emerald Gala on November 2d. That was the beginning of my birthday celebrations. And then, on my birthday itself, I got a bit of a surprise... My actual birthday was tough. It was Election Day. And, I spent the day working polls as a part of an election protection effort. My efforts were designed to protect all voters. However, deep in my heart I love my AKA sister, Kamala Harris and I hoped for her historic victory. Then, much to my chagrin and despite my efforts—and those of thousands more—she lost.

A Recipe For Glamorous Holiday Hair in Five Minutes (guest post by Harmony Kaiser)

on
The holiday season is a time for parties, sequins and glamour. However, it is hard for busy moms to step it up when they are already super busy.  Still, nobody wants to be that mom who is at a party in the corner whining because she’s not dressed appropriately. Instead, you want to be the fabulous mom who is admired by all who secretly think, “I don’t know how she does it?!”
 

Below is a post from Harmony Kaiser a Pittsburgh stylist who helps lots of women, including moms, look fabulous!

The Glamour Pony, the secret to easy holiday glamour!


 Time: 5 minutes

 
Works on:

1.      Medium to long hair

2.     Dirty hair is better (HUGE plus for busy moms!)

 

Hair supplies:

1.      Headband

2.     Comb

3.      Hair band

4.     Clip (to hold hair out of the way)
 

Five Easy Steps to Glamorous Hair


 
Step 1:  Divide hair from ear to ear over the top of your head. Clip that front section out of the way.
 

Step 2:  At the crown of your head, take a two-inch section of the remaining hair and tease the area near your scalp to create volume behind the headband. It’s o.k. if it is a little messy.
 

Step 3: Un-clip the front section and smooth it back over the teased area, gathering all your hair into a low pony. Reserve a one-inch section of your longest hair and secure the rest with a hair band.
 

Step 4: Wrap the reserved hair around the hair band and secure underneath with a bobby pin.
 

Step 5: Slip on a headband. This look is great when the hair is previously straightened as well as curled.
 

This is a great everyday look, but you can also glam your pony up with a glamorous head band!
