MIAMI FROYO

It just so happens that two of my favorite things star with ‘f’s’. Can you guess them? Fashion and FROYO.

To me, finding your favorite frozen yogurt is sort of like finding your favorite hair stylist. You try, and try, and experience some bad ones until you find one you love and are faithful to forever. Well, my quest for the best froyo in town has ended, and guess what, I found the best Miami froyo. There are 4 locations to choose from in Miami and over 1,300 in 46 countries.

Yogen Früz is a self-serve frozen yogurt heaven… In 1986, two brothers opened a frozen yogurt retail concept in Toronto, Canada. The small store turned into an extraordinary product and a great design.

Yogen Früz is delicious and nutritious, just what you need to live a healthy and active lifestyle. The one I go to is located right on Lincoln Road… With plenty of flavors and toppings to choose from, you can’t go wrong! Who doesn’t love a big cup of frozen yogurt on a warm sunny day? I know I don’t mind it!

CURLY VS STRAIGHT

Hair… Curly vs straight?!

It’s either too curly or it’s too straight. It has too much volume (and eventually turns to frizz) or its too flat & won’t even stay up.

Truth is, the age-old question remains: What’s better curly or straight hair? And is there such thing as too curly or too straight?

Here is my curly vs straight hair resolution: Love your own crowning glory & find the product that’s right for you!

If there’s one thing I’m known for… It is definitely my hair. You know, I’m the “girl with the curls.” And over the years, I’ve definitely learned to love & tame the mane. That wasn’t always the case, in fact, my middle school years where quite disastrous for my hair-life. (LA Looks was my saving grace. Eeeek, gross! Let’s pretend I never said that. I wouldn’t put that junk in my hair today, even if you paid me!! And don’t worry I wont show you pictures or should I? ;) ) Thank goodness middle school was only 3 years of my life & now, I know better styling products exist.

Even though I eventually learned to style & manage my hair, the question still remains… Curly vs straight? Well, after spending some time observing hair trends at this year’s Mercedes Benz Swim Week. Guess what I found? Both are equally stylish & equally beautiful and with the help of Jonathan Products you can achieve any of the looks with ease! See for yourself:

For the Poko Pano show, lead hair stylist, Jonathon Powell created a sleek & sultry look using GG Gatsby’s new collection of straightening hair products. The models looked stunning!

Powell was also the lead stylist for the L*Space – Monica Wise show where he created a sexy “wet look” bringing the perfect beach waves to our humid Miami beaches. “The Water is Waiting” theme inspired his hairstyles and the new Hydracurls collection helped bring them to life by adding the perfect blend of flirty & fun.

So, how do you wear your hair and what products have you found work for you?

CELEBRITY INSPIRED: KYLIE JENNER

In our last our celebrity inspired post, we were lusting over Olivia Palermo’s style, but lately the Kardashians always seem to be in the limelight when it comes to fashion…

So, for today’s celebrity inspired look, I’ve got my eye on the Jenner girls! Kylie Jenner, to be exact.

I’m not sure if it’s her daring hair changes or her edgy/grunge look that keeps me obsessing over the youngest of the Kardashion/Jenner clan… But I’m hooked.

If I could shop directly from her closet (and if I had an unlimited spending limit in my bank account) I’d probably be one of happiest girls in town. But, thankfully for me (and you too), Kendall and Kylie have launched their very own collection for participating PacSun stores. Want to know something even more exciting? The PacSun location at The Falls Mall Miami is the only location in Florida selling their collection. So, stay tuned for a funky outfit post c/o PacSun ;)

If, however, you are looking to copy one of her trendy looks but you’re on a budget, see below!

River Island Jumpsuit $40
Asos Wrap Tie Coat (similar) $114
Fringe Cross Body $69
Rag & Bone Fedora $175
Zigi Soho Pumps $50

Which celebrity’s style are you currently obsessing over? Let us know!

LATINA GLAM

Filled with Latina glam, Miami is truly a place like no other…

As a visitor, one quickly learns that the Latin culture has a huge influence in our city. From Spanish billboards/signs, to different traditions, body-types, languages & foods; they all encompass the fun & vibrant life our city has to offer.

And we all know it isn’t easy to avoid the hair frizz & embrace the humidity in our day-to-day looks. Well, Glam Magazine featured some of our favorite Miami fashion bloggers (us included ;) ) with a street-style post in the 2014 Spring issue of Glam Belleza Latina.

They asked us to share our beauty secrets & focus on how we embrace Miami & our Latina roots. Here’s a peek:

What “V” wore:
PRABAL GURUNG x TARGET top
ZARA skort
FOREVER 21 necklace
GO JANE shoes

What “G” wore:

The magazine, a branch-off from Glamour.com, launched earlier this year & is produced by a team of proud Latinas! We loved participating in their Miami feature. We got to share the experience with a few friends & also meet some new amigas with impeccable fashion & flawless looks.

THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE WATER

Confession #1: No, I am not pregnant. Sorry if the pictures I’ve been posting on Instagram and the title of this post made you think otherwise. ;)

Confession #2: I have thought about deleting the fitness tab of my blog at least 2x this year. (Buuuut, I wont… ) And if any fitness/health gurus out there want to contribute, I’m always up for a collaboration. Just shoot me an email.

Confession #3: 99% of the time, the only drink available in my house is water. (Sorry, I’m not really sorry. I love love love water and you should too!)

Human survival is dependent on water – It is known that the human body can last weeks without food, but only a few days without water. Weather, health, and living conditions can factor into how long you can live without water. But on average, if you go 3-5 days without any water intake, you will perish. Yikes!

Also, did you know that as you age your body loses water content? Upon birth, our body is made up of 90% water… But average adults have about 70% water content and with age the percentage decreases to about 60-50%.

Therefore, today’s post… You guessed it, it’s a tribute to H2O! Here are 10 ways that water can improve your health & fitness.

Drinking water increases your metabolism and can help with weight loss.
Water moisturizes from within and nourishes your skin.
Drinking water can give you smoother & shinier hair.
Water brightens you eyes and can reduce puffiness.
Water boosts your energy and lowers stress.
Drinking water helps build muscle.
Water prevents muscle cramping & lubricates joints.
Water shrinks pores & prevents future breakouts.
Water helps with digestion and constipation.
And best of all, it saves money!

Ready to increase your water intake? Here are 10 tips to help your daily water consumption.

Set an alarm! In fact, as soon as your morning alarm goes off and you’re out of bed, start your day with a glass full of water. This will get your metabolism off to a good start!
Keep water bottles in different locations, in your car, office, or gym bag.
Infuse your water with flavor. Add lemon/lime or any fruit to spice-up your water.
When eating out, avoid ordering sodas or juices and ask for good ol’ tap water instead.
Challenge a friend to a healthy competition. Who can drink 8 glasses a day first? Having an exciting prize at the end of the week may help. ;)
Drink at least 2 glasses per meal, one before and one after.
Drinking juice? Dilute it with water, it also saves you some calories…
Enjoy a nice warm herbal tea as an afternoon treat!
Invest in a good filter.
Consume more watermelon, cucumber, celery & oranges. These fruits and vegetables are not only delicious but they also offer a high water content which will help your hydration.

There you have it! Now go on, take a sip and enjoy the benefits…. Ahhhh!

FALL IN MIAMI

There are several things I love about fall in Miami, okay, okay, maybe just one thing… That I can still enjoy a day at the beach and feel a slight change in the weather with-out freezing. Even though Miami is sort of…well, season-less, and we may not really experience “falling of leaves”, this time of the year in Miami is perfect. (I’m talking about those occasional chilly/non-humid/great hair days). ;)

With that being said, my outfit post will not consist of sweaters and boots, but of a pair of my favorite pants and strappy heels. As much as I love over-sized sweaters and booties, I prefer light and airy while enjoying fall in the 305.

What I Wore:

– Zara Top
– Ann Taylor Necklace
– Cotton On Drapey Pant
– Zara Strap Sandal (similar)

What do you love about Fall in Miami? Let us know!

FIVE FAVORITES: BEAUTY

I don’t know about you, but doesn’t if feel like this year has completely flown by?

Does anyone ever have time for rest and relaxation anymore? Before you know it, it’s Halloween, Thanksgiving, then Christmas… Then hello New Year, yikes!

Well, in the midst of this non-stop, on-the-go life of mine, I’ve had a few people ask me all sorts of beauty questions lately. From: What hair product I use, to what mascara I recommend? Thus, today’s post.

Here are a few of my current beauty favorites…

Smashbox– Limitless Longwear Lipgloss – boundless: Oh the magic of gloss… It gives that effortless look with just the right amount of color and shine, great for both day and night!
Bobbi Brown – Lash Glamour Lengthening Mascara: Perfectly separated long lashes are hard to come by, but with this olive-derived, Vitamin B mascara I can be smudge-free all day long!
Deva Curl – Light Defining Gel: This product is probably my best friend, not only does it help me avoid frizz, but it also deﬁnes my curls by locking in the good moisture and keeping out the bad. I don’t leave my house without this puppy! It’s part of my curly hair regimen.
essie – blue rhapsody: Regardless of how busy you are, every girl needs a good mani and pedi — and this pop of blue metallic feels like a fun jazz song unveiling before me, shiny yet matte with a mix of cool and sheen.
Resvology – Age Corrective Eye Cream: Who says we can’t turn back time or at least slow it down? This lightweight, hydrating eye cream minimizes lines and wrinkles, as it firms, tightens and refines your eyes. Oh and did I mention it’s paraben and sulfate free? Yup, I’m a fan!

There you have it! Those are my little go-to beauty weapons for long work days. What are some of yours?
