Wen Hair Products: Hair Conditioner Gets a Spicy Twist! Wen Haircare Pumpkin Edition
Oct 28, 2011 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Hair Stylin'
Wen hair products have quickly become a cult favorite in the haircare world. I had been hearing about them for a while. In fact, I was sent a bottle a couple months ago and I was not impressed at all. At the urging of the press representative to try it again, I agreed to try the pumpkin edition. I figured, spicy twist for fall? I could try it again. I was told that you have to get used to it, etc. etc. I tried it again thinking that I would be completely disappointed.
I can't believe it. Those crazy PR folks were right. I saw my hair transform before my very eyes. It shines like I haven't seen it shine…well, ever!
Here is the annoying thing about this product, it's a bit pricey, about $32 for a 16oz. bottle. But honestly it really is better than any other conditioner I've tried. One other thing to note is that although your hair will shine like the top of the Chrysler building, (remember that line in Annie? Anyone?) it will get greasier faster than usual. I used to easily go a day or two without washing my hair. Not so when you use this conditioner. After two days my hair is screaming for a hair washing! Oh and you also are supposed to use like 40 pumps of the product, which I found ridiculous. I used a bit more than a normal amount of conditioner and found it to work fabulously.
This blend of botanical ingredients softens and nourishes your hair and scalp, formulated with chamomile, sunflower seed oil, sea kelp, and pomegranate extract. Available through November 2011. Available for purchase on Chaz Dean's website.

Oct 27, 2011 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Food and Cocktails!, Recipes, VeganAngela from Oh She Glows inspired me to make a vegan chocolate pudding. I adapted her recipe a little bit because I didn't have some of the ingredients. It seriously is the most amazing thing ever!
Ingredients (approx 1.5 cups)
2 medium avocados (scooped and pitted)
1/3 cup non-dairy milk (I used almond)
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1 Tbsp Almond Butter
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup, melted non-dairy chocolate chips
1 banana (optional)
Shredded coconut to garnish
Instructions
1. Throw all ingredients into the food processor except chocolate chips.
2. Melt chocolate chips and then add to the food processor.
3. Garnish your pudding with coconut on top. Also feel free to add in some banana if that's your thing.
Easy as pie pudding!
It's so creamy and delicious. This will quell any chocolate craving you have while being healthy at the same time!! I swear you can't taste the avocado at all! All you taste is chocolate goodness!!!

Radical Skincare Barney’s Event
Oct 27, 2011 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: BeautyRadical Skincare co-founders and creators, Liz and Rachel Edlich, are the daughters of one of America's most famous plastic surgeons and skin wound healing specialists, Dr. Richard F. Edlich MD, PhD. After having been in the skin care industry in Los Angeles for 15 years and creating over 100 products for home shopping brands and celebrities, Liz and Rachel saw the signs of aging in the mirror for themselves and decided to do something about it.
With the help of chemists and scientists, Liz and Rachel were able to identify that the potency in anti-aging formulas diminishes when the ingredients are put into a cream. What makes Radical Skincare different is a proprietary technology, called Trylacel, that suspends and preserves potency. Radical Skincare combines some of the most potent antioxidants like Resveratol, coffee berry, acai berry, grape seed, red wine extract, pomegranate, cranberry, prune, etc. and several other rich vitamins and minerals with an anti-aging peptide cocktail.
Radical Skincare Products claim to:
Increase skin hydration by 66%
Reduce wrinkles by 50%
Even skin tone and reduce age & sun spots
Increase Elasticity and create smoother skin
Reduce under eye dark circles and puffiness
