Review: Carlton Hair Salon

Carlton Hair Salons can be found all across California, from San Diego all the way up to San Francisco.  I'm lucky enough to have one right here in my own city of Riverside, CA.  Riverside, CA has many salons but Carlton Hair is one of the few top notch salons where you know you will walk out of the salon feeling confident in your new hairstyle.

I made an appointment last Friday with Carlton Hair Salons to get my hair done. As I walked into the Salon, I was greeted warmly by the receptionist.  I was then introduced to Amber my new stylist.  Amber and I discussed different option for my hair and decided on partial blonde highlights, an inch off my hair and more additional layers.

Because I was rushed for time, Amber had one of her assistants help her in highlighting, washing and styling my hair.  It was a unique experience for met to have four hands all at once working on my hair.

The final result, a great new hairstyle full of volume, color and vibrancy.

Here are the before and after pics:

Movie Review: Disney's "Brave"




 Last weekend I and my boys went to see the screening of the movie "Brave" at Disney's El Capitan Theater in Hollywood. We were excited to see this movie and my boys had been anticipating its' release since the previews started coming out.


 Based in Scotland this movie is sweet and charming with a great cast of characters. Merida is the main character with bright vibrant red hair and vibrant personality to match. She is an independent thinker with a mind of her own. Her parents Queen Elinor and King Fergus have plans for her and hope to marry her off to one of the princes of the surrounding kingdoms. Merida who will not be married off tries to sabotage the plans with disastrous and surprising results.

This movie's plot took all of us by surprise as the previews really gave nothing away. We laughed through the hilarious scenes and got teary eyed during the emotional ones. This is a great movie to take your kids to see. Highly entertaining for everyone young and old.
