Some celebrities to love for their classic, yet unapologetic strong looks, & great hair color. Of course there are so many of them but when your thinking about that new style or color theses are some good go to looks. Like the basics in your closet.
But don’t stop here imagine all the possibilities….

Finding everyday beauty….
Today in these thoughts by Christian Mihai
Hi
So after a month of getting my hands and your hair in Organic color systems, I have had a great time testing out how effective it is to other professional hair color lines. I think the results have been fantastic , the colors are vibrant & natural, condition of the hair is beautiful and there is no chemical smell. I am looking forward to seeing how the hair looks six weeks later.
Thanks to all of you who tried it with me.
Have a great work week.

In the weeks leading up to the Academy Awards, which air Sunday Feb. 24, every news outlet has been busy interviewing the Oscar-nominated actresses. This amazing group of leading — and supporting — ladies have a lot of interesting things to say about women, film and their award-worthy roles. We’ve rounded up a list of the best quotes Oscar actresses have given since awards season mania began.
Jessica Chastain
“Every time an actress is celebrated for her great work, I cheer. For the more brilliant their performance, the more the audience demands stories about women… And as we all know: a great year for women in film, is just a great year for film.”

Emmanuelle Riva
“I’m sure you know, that roles for older women in cinema are not that numerous. And when you’re 84 years old? It’s not very often that you find a role that matches you. I felt that since I am really in the last stage of my life, this was a tremendous gift that was given to me.”

Naomi Watts
“I like complicated women. I like women with strength and contradictions…”
(Source: CBS News)
Amy Adams
“I realized you can still be a human being and have flaws and still be in movies, and that your flaws are what make you beautiful… I just wanted to do a good job.”
(Source: The Hollywood Reporter)
Sally Field
“They said, ‘Well, that’s foolish. You’ll never work, you’re not pretty enough, you’re not good enough,’ and I said, ‘You’re fired.’ Then my business manager said the same thing and I said, ‘You’re fired.’ I just fired everybody. Then I left my husband. You know, I was like, ‘Out, all of you.’ I couldn’t afford to have those voices near me that said, ‘You can’t do this, you’re not good enough,’ because I have too many voices inside of me that say that.”

Helen Hunt
“At some point you just go, ‘Whatever, it’s a body’… I think that’s what happened when I read this movie. I thought, ‘Which am I gonna choose — being part of this beautiful story? Or some path to misery about the shape of my body?’”

“There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.”

The winter blues… ah the greys can be beautiful too….

Birthing ‘Cloud Terrace’ In D.C.
In the U.S., Dumbarton Oaks — a historic, 10-acre garden in Washington, D.C. — is also ablaze with colors. It has roses, azaleas, lilies and a new, temporary installation by Cao and Perrot. The pair arranged tree-high poles into an oval shape and on top of those poles they perched a configuration that pairs luxury with something very basic.
“It’s a wire mesh cloud made of two different gauges of chicken wire,” says John Beardsley, head of the garden and landscape studies department of the Harvard research institute based at Dumbarton Oaks. “It’s just plain old chicken wire… folded into elaborate shapes that evoke a big bank of cumulous clouds. And then it’s hung with 10,000 Swarovski crystals.”
… in tough times, art is more important … keeping the spirits up and the soul alive in difficult economic circumstances is terribly important.
– John Beardsley
Like those at Beauvais, the crystals at Dumbarton Oaks are on loan from the Austrian company. All 10,000 have been hand-tied to the chicken wire cloud, where they cast prisms everywhere. On a cloudy day, they glimmer like raindrops.
“And then it’s all reflected in an oval pool that the designers created to reflect it in,” Beardsley says.
Between sculpting the wire mesh and threading and tying each of the cut crystals, it took the landscape artists and some volunteers a month to make Cloud Terrace, which is open to the public through November. Until the actual installation, Beardsley had only seen drawings of the piece. He says he was relieved when it was finally in place.
“It’s a birthing experience,” he says, laughing. “We gave birth to 10,000 crystals and a wire mesh cloud.”
But in the midst of all the oohs and aahs, you have to ask how — in these rough economic times, with daily doses of joblessness, hopelessness and anxiety — you can justify the luxurious sparkle of artworks like this? Well, Beardsley says, the crystals are on loan, and chicken wire doesn’t cost much. He says the real investments were time and aesthetics. And then, there’s something else:
“There’s also the saying that, in tough times, art is more important,” he says, “that keeping the spirits up and the soul alive in difficult economic circumstances is terribly important.”
