Grey Layers

of style and of substance

When life gives you lemons, teatox.

For those of you who have been following  me for a while now, you all know how big of a lemon freak I am. I LOVE LEMONS – both the fruit and challenges in life. Known to detoxify and strengthen you, known to be cleansers and refreshers, I honestly can tell you that you can’t ever have too much of them. But that deep conversation’s going to be saved for a later post. Today we focus on the fruit. Lesson 1: Lemons are your best friends. I had a pleasure working with Fruit Teatox these past 14 days.  Their herbal tea formula designed to cleanse and allow your body to process and remove wastes from the bad things you’ve been intaking while allowing you to enjoy its natural flavor. This means more energy, increased clearance of toxins, increased metabolism of important hormone messengers and neurotransmitters that help keep us mentally, emotionally and physically healthy. Their partnership with this vendor means that they are able to naturally source white vein kratom: a stimulating strain of kratom that provides the uplifting wakefulness of coffee, without the crash of caffeine.

Cutting Edge for a Cause: Mark Bustos

I want to do something nice for you today. Have a drink with Dewar’s and allow me to turn the direction of my blog to a breath of fresh air called inspiration. Fashion can only do so much until it can’t. Mark, a humble and soft spoken man found a way to extend it and touch hearts all around. A resident stylist at Three Square Studio in West Chelsea, this guy who cuts for designer Phillip Lim , also cuts for the unfortunate. Soak that in for a second. I hope you did because quite honestly, you should. I had the pleasure of having dinner with his girlfriend Lala and himself over burgers and onion rings , talking about my hair. It was quite easy to note how passionate they both are in their crafts. If it’s one thing that’ll never go out of style as my mother always said, it’s your character. Find your passion, own it, be it and then share it. Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do, allowing it to make a difference. Nice goes a long way.

Can I help you? Your questions answered.

@tayloreborden: How’s your bunny?  He’s grown up so fast! I feel like he’s gotten greyer than black? But maybe that’s just me.   @shereeclaudette: How do you style your hair? I’m thinking of cutting mine really short next year and I’m nervous on how to style it myself?  Haircuts vary and also keep in mind that hair textures are forever never going to be the same ( yours and mine.) When you see my hair wavey, it’s because I did not style it due to running around and not having enough time to. So to answer your question, I shower, and I leave it to dry. Once it’s dried, I add in a tiny bit of hairspray and voila! @valeriemum: Will you mentor me into being a wonderful young lady as yourself? Sure! It would help if you weren’t so far. @catherineyo: Where did you get your “dance all night, sleep all day pillow cases? Also what do you use to style your short hair?  I got it from Gypsy Warrior! They have “ Moon Child”, and “ Gypsy and Warrior” along with the one I have! Check them out.   @rachelhnng: Any tricks? Trying to cut mine similar to yours but it’s stick straight.  Try moose and a blowdryer – together. Work the moose in while using your blow dryer and crumpling your hair. I don’t have stick straight hair , I might be the only Asian who doesn’t, thanks to my dad’s side of the family. So this is actually my natural hair.   @oh.darkingxo: How hard was it to get this popular on Instagram and do you have any advice for someone who wants to get known as well?  I can’t really tell you “how hard” it was, because I didn’t really try to. It just sort of grew. So my advice for you would be to not try and chase fame, wealth etc. Do YOU. Do what makes YOU happy and stick to it. You’ll find that you’re more attractive that way and people will end up finding this more attractive rather than someone who tries so hard to be someone they’re not.   @mrs.row: How do you stay so positive at work, on social media and at home ?  It’s actually more controllable than you think. For one, negativity doesn’t really do any situation any good, hence why I place myself as far from anything…

Say it with Diamonds [ In Collaboration with YNC ]

“The Shoes make the man,” Said no one ever. Louboutins are classics, but ladies let’s be real, if people aren’t looking at your shoes, they are looking at your nails. An amazing fellow blogger Camila Coelho created a dynamically bold line of nail lacquers to make sure they forget about your shoes altogether. Just like outfits, what you create on your nails portrays you. With YNC’s nail color collection in Blue Jade, Forever Pink, Tropical Salmon and Purple Dream, you may be wearing all black, all white or perhaps all floral, either way– these nails will accessorize, creating a statement.    In this case, forget Louboutins because Diamonds will always be a girl’s best friend. Yup you thought right. Camila Coelho’s new lacquer line is dazzling with rough diamond powder glistening as you apply while acting as a nail strengthener as well.   YNC Nail polishes are the new accessories. A line of trendsetting nail lacquers created to dress up your get up. Available in four Spring Colors to welcome Fashion Week that’s coming up, be sure to check out YNC by Camila Coelho at Ricky’s NYC.
