Bette Midler Circa 1970s, 1980s, Naturally Curly Hair And Trend Setting Fashions

Bette Midler Circa 1970s, 1980s, Naturally Curly Hair And Trend Setting Fashions

Maybe it’s because Feng Shui-wise I have an annual 5 in my life palace, maybe it’s because I have transiting Saturn skating back and forth over my natal ascendant or maybe it’s because Pluto is moving towards my 4th natal house.  Who knows exactly why, but I’ve been in a Mrs. Clean mode for the past few months.

As I clean and organize I’m finding all sorts of treasures I had carefully boxed up for “emergencies” or for “special moments”.

Of course a hair fanatic like myself has literally hundreds (yes, really) of boxes stuffed with hair magazines, clippings of beauty tips and photos of celebs wearing their hair in unique styles.

Yesterday as I climbed my trusty step ladder to retrieve my latest box I discovered a set of now yellowing clippings of Bette Midler in the 1970s and 1980s.  In one of the photos (from the 80s) which really caught my eye, Bette was posed outside a shiny black front door of her beloved Greenwich Village town home (or apartment whatever was P.C.) at the time.   She looked stunning.

This Blog Is Not Just About Hair!

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

This Blog Is Not Just About Hair!Yes, it’s true I have spent the last 25 years consumed with all aspects of hair.

Although my original college studies were not in the hair, beauty or fashion worlds,  I’ve gone to two different wonderful cosmetology colleges here in Dallas, received a license to do hair and continued to take ongoing hair classes, both for certification and to continue advancing my hair and beauty education.

Someone recently commented that this blog was only about hair.  Actually that’s not true at all.  If you visit on a regular basis you already know that.

While the HairBoutique.com site has literally thousands of articles specifically about hair, hair loss, hair styling, hair trends, this blog is not specifically limited to hair.  (more…)

Feng Shui For The Soul: How To Create A Harmonious Environment That Will Nuture And Sustain You

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Feng Shui For The Soul: How To Create A Harmonious Environment That Will Nuture And Sustain You Recently a business associate asked me about what philosophy of Feng Shui I followed.  I told her it was my own customized formula which evolved over the past nine years of studying with several different “Feng Shui” experts who all had their own theories, philosophies and formulas.

(Image of Feng Shui For The Soul:  How To Create A Harmonious Environment That Will Nurture And Sustain You – Amazon.com – All Rights Reserved).

While I faithfully followed each of the “experts” and took their classes, bought their CDs and DVDs and traveled to their home cities for classes and apprenticeships, I ultimately discovered that I couldn’t blindly follow any one of the teachers because while some things worked with all of them, there were still holes and missing information.

It didn’t seem to matter who told me what or told me what not to do, ultimately I had to find my own way.  Ironically the same thing happened with astrology which I have been studying off and on since I was sixteen years old.  Even though I spent the first ten years faithfully following a series of astrology “experts” I would always get frustrated by the missing pieces.

Over the past two years I have been combining all the Feng Shui pieces and doing my own experiments.  Interestingly I have been achieving much better and more consistent results than when I blindly followed any particular guru.  I have also been expanding my boundaries and being open to Feng Shui disciplines that before didn’t fit into the appropriate little boxes.

Spiritual Hair Experiences:  Michael Motorcycle Hair Salon In Dallas, TexasRight after HairBoutique.com was officially launched in 1997 I made a personal journey down to see Michael Kolar aka Motorcycle at the Michael Motorcycle Hair Salon in uptown Dallas.
