If you're anything like me then you're pretty fond of the special time that your chi iron and your hair spend
together. But like most love making, you need to protect yoself fool so let me introduce you the Magnum of heat protective sprays and it's made by Tresemme.

TRESemme Heat Tamer Protective Spray is the best spray I've ever had the pleasure of using. Not only does it smell great but it doesn't weigh your hair down at all and not to mention it gives you a wonderful shine.

You can find this spray at most drugstores and it runs for about $5.

During the decadence of Fashion Week its easy to forget that there is anything, but excess.  Unless eco-friendly designer, Stella McCartney is showing, fashion fans seem to forget that there is a such thing as organic, fair trade, and green.  What can we say?  All the shiny fabric, over-the-top styles, beautiful people, and bright lights can blind you to the outside world.  

However, for the first time during NY Fashion Week there will be a departure from excess, without a single sacrifice of beauty in the form of The GreenShows Eco-Fashion Week.  For 2 days there will be events and shows from designers who are committed to fair trade and earth friendly fashion.  The events will be held at gallery and show space King of Greene Street in Soho on September 15th and 16th.  The event will be green top to bottom, including makeup and hair products (John Masters Organics) and the production of the show.  The founders of the show say that its goal is not just to allow the eco-friendly designers to have platform to show, but to also draw attention to the need for the fashion industry to be more aware of the being more environmentally friendly and limiting excess.  Refreshing.

From designer Lara Miller, one of the designers who will be showing at The GreenShows.  All of fabric is made out of eco-friendly bamboo.

I mean do you even know a guy who does that? According to US Weekly Diddy and Jay Z do, a Brazilian- at that. Aside- Is that what Nelly meant by get your eagle on? Not fresh. Read on if you dare…

New York is not winning… but its not losing when it comes to being a healthy city.  According to USA Today, The American College of Sports Medicine ranks New York as the 9th Fittest CIty in the US.  We should do our part to protect that ranking and get fit ourselves by going to the United Healthcare Sports and Fitness Expo.  Its happening on today from 12-8pm and 10am-6pm on Saturday.  Plenty of time to learn how to get it right and get it tight if you don’t already know how or to find ways to support that running addiction you might already have — and its all free (and air conditioned).
