Celebrate #EarthDay With @AVEDA
Since 1999 Aveda has raised over $32M to help support organizations that directly affect environmental change. More than $26M of that amount has supported clean water projects at home and around the world. While lighting a candle may seem like a simple gesture, throughout April 2014 – known as Earth Month here at Aveda™— it will do far more than just set a mood or scent a room; it will help change lives. Last year our Earth Month efforts raised a total of $5.5 million for Clean Water and set a Guinness World Record for the Most Money Raised for Charity Through Haircuts in a 24 Hour Period during our Global Cut-A-Thon. And we are aiming to up the Earth Month ante to $6 million this year. Throughout April we will donate 100% of the suggested purchase price of our limited edition Earth Month Light the Way™ Candles (based on $12 SRP) to Global Greengrants Fund, a non-profit organization that channels high-impact grants to grassroots groups working to solve pressing environmental problems. Total sales of the candle will raise over $1.6 million for clean water projects around the globe.
The images on this year’s Light the Way™ Candle carton were drawn by children living in the Umbari village who benefited from a grant supported by Aveda and Global Greengrants Fund to AWARD (Action for Women in Rural Development) to improve the local water system. The illustrations express the joy that having easy access to clean water has brought to their lives: clean water for people, plants and animals.
A few weeks ago Mary-Louise Parker visited the Aveda Institute on Spring Street in NYC to show her support for Aveda Earth Month 2014 clean water initiatives.
“It’s been amazing to see Aveda’s Earth Month fundraising initiatives…Aveda’s Earth Month efforts perfectly align with my personal mission to help create a cleaner, safer world.”
NEW Light the Way™ Candles are housed in:
- 100% reclaimed glass beverage bottles
- The outer cartons are fabricated from 70-90% post-consumer recycled (PCR) paperboard, with a portion made from Aveda make-ready materials (sheets of scrap paper that would normally go into the recycling stream).
Each one is scented with:
- 100% certified organic essential oils, including ginger and ginger lily grown in India
- Made from 100% naturally-derived soy wax
- Burns for over 27 hours
Available in Aveda salons, spas, stores and at aveda.com

Dance Dance for a Spring Beauty Look with @Aveda and @lolavlashes
I recreated the Aveda Culture Clash 2014 Make Up look from their make up tutorial video 🙂 I used the Aveda petal essence™ single eye color in SEAFOAM and AQUARMARINE. I didn’t love the packaging (looks like a sample to me in plastic clamshell) but I did love the pigmentation, staying power and how silky smooth it glided on my eye. It is flower and wax infused so perfect for spring.
To set off this flirty look, do a double braid on top of you head and use light weight lashes from Lola V lashes in Vanity.
Founded in 2013, Lola V Lashes has introduced women to 21 various high quality, yet affordable, styles of mink eyelashes. Created by Valerie De La Rosa, Lola V Lashes are in high demand in North America and is looking to expand to Asia and South America.
Lola V Lashes’ main goal is to beauty and self-confidence on both the inside and outside to the wearer. The 21 variations of lashes include both top and bottom lashes that will last from 2-3 weeks, with different designs to compliment every eye shape.Lola V Lashes will expand to makeup cases and travel kits in the summer.

New @Aveda Spring Culture Clash Collection
Janell Geason, Aveda Global Artistic Director, Makeup drew her inspiration for the Culture Clash makeup collection from the colors and textures of different cultures around the world. The end result is a global palette of universal hues that works on all skin tones and makeup looks that are as earthy and exotic as they are street smart and chic. “Culture Clash has a distinct boho vibe with a futuristic flair,” Geason says. “For makeup, this means pairing natural, earthy tones like warm coppers and fleshy nudes with a pop of vivid color, for a look that feels fresh and pretty yet sophisticated.”
Aveda petal essence™ single eye color in New LilacFlower wax-infused soft-to-the-touch shadow that is both color-true and crease-resistant-that builds and blends effortlessly, surrounded by a soft floral aroma.
Talc- and mineral oil-free. Ophthalmologist-tested. (US$14 SRP).
I love this look – Click to see the full video!

New Do, New Hue
So a few days ago.. i was thinking man my hair’s getting really long!
A year ago (2008 April) I did the ABA in Toronto with Paul Mitchell and went from
this:
to this!!
Cutting my hair short has be so liberating! You have to try it at least once in your lifetime. Then throughout the year, I experimented with Reds and Blondes
Anyway… I was at Aveda today from 9am-5pm.. We did some color correction and brought my hair to a level 8 blonde…
then to a desert storm ash
I think I love it!Being a hair model is NOT for:
- someone who clings on to their hair to define their look/personality style
- someone is is afraid of change and will cry if something goes not exactly as planned
- anyone anxious or timid
- someone who has no hair, hair/scalp disease, severely damaged hair
Being a hair model is for:
- someone who is broke & fabulous (hello, recession?)
- someone who wants to help hair styling students practice on real people
- a confident person who is versatile and likes to switch up their look
- someone who is tired of having the same hair style since 9th grade
As long as you have an open mind and want to have a top grade hair cut & color for (free!)… do what I do! If you have any questions, ask me!
If you want to be a hair model, participate in hair shows and take your look from a ‘Idaho’ to a ‘NYC’…
