Have any of you seen The Doctors on ABC? I love it! Yesterday they had Dermatologist, Dr. Jessica Wu, author of Feed your Face. She says that while we pay attention to what's on our faces, we should be paying attention to what's on your plates.

 On The Doctors website, they have a detailed list that Dr. Jessica Wu created for your skin; what foods are good for your skin & what foods are bad for your skin.

Foods That Enhance Your Skin:
• Tomatoes contain loads of lycopene that is enhanced by cooking, which helps fight sun damage. Order your pizza with extra sauce!
• Bloody Marys: Both virgin and non-virgin, this is the best cocktail for your skin. Tomato juice contains lycopene which has been shown to fight sun damage.
• Green and yellow veggies: These foods have been linked to lessening wrinkles, especially crow's feet. Try peppers, zucchini, squash and spinach.
• Lean meats: Beef, lamb, chicken and fish contain amino acids, such as glycine and proline, which replenish collagen.
• Fresh fish: Salmon, sardines and mackerel.
• Soy: Soy milk, tofu and edamame.
• Dark chocolate containing more than 70 percent cocoa.• Green beans: This vegetable is packed with silicon, which helps grow long, strong hair and nails.
• Walnuts and almonds: These nuts are high in omega-3 fatty acids.
• Berries.
• Whole wheat bread and pasta.
• Rolled oats instead of instant oatmeal.
• Brown rice.
• Cold drinks.
Foods to Avoid:
• Dairy: Milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream and lattes all contain cow hormones that can increase oil production and clog pores.
• Packaged baked goods.
• White foods such as white bread, pasta, rice.
• Hidden sugar: Sodas, bottled salad dressings and sweetened cereals.
• High-fructose corn syrup.
• Vinegar and pickles.
• Aged cheeses: Parmesan and blue.
• Spicy foods, especially if you have rosacea or facial redness.
• High-sugar fruits: Grapes, pineapple and bananas.
• Steaming hot food and drinks.
• Tuna steak or solid white tuna, as mercury can cause hair loss.
• Monosodium Glutamate (MSG).

hot hair trends for summer 2011

Halfsies

Perfect for those humidity-stricken mornings, use a clipless curling iron to curl the mid-section of your hair and flat-iron the ends straight to nix frizz.

Unkempt Side Braid

The mantra for this summer's side braid is the messier, the better. Give yourself a deep side part and pull hair to one side. Start braiding at the top of your ear for a loose braid with bigger plaits. Let pieces fall out naturally to create a more relaxed look.

Let Your Frizz Fly

Flyaways were (thankfully) all over the runways this season, meaning you don't have to sweat to death in your bathroom trying to slick all your hair back. To make fuzzies chic, pull hair back into a ponytail or bun at the center of your head and spritz with a flexible hairspray.

Slicked Back Bun

If you've just hopped out of the pool or are in a rush, this style is great for on the go. Use a firm holding gel to pull your hair back into a low bun that will stick with you all day.

Get a Piecey Cut

Winter's polished pixie is being replaced with a textured, choppy cut. If you plan on cutting your hair to stay cool in the heat, make sure your shortest layer hits the top of your ear like Jessica Stroup's, so you can still have some styling options.

One-Sided Half-Up 'Do

For a quickie half-up 'do, create a small braid or twist on one side of your head with a fun flipped over part like Kate Bosworth's here.

Cheerleader Ponytails

Low ponytails are being replaced with high, cheerleader-esque styles that hit at the crown or just below. To give yours some more oomph, push your ponytail forward to create volume on top.

Flat Buns

Tame down your ballerina bun by creating a high ponytail, wrapping and securing hair around an elastic and then gently pulling at the sides to flatten it out.

Lightly Tousled Waves

Waves are always in, but this season expect to see a break from the all out sexy bedhead and instead more subtle, soft curls in its place. Try this look by curling just the ends of your hair or flipping them out with your flatiron.

Put a Lid on It

Having a bad hair day has never been so fun with this season's brims, like Reese Witherspoon's staple fedora.

Fiesty Feathers

Glam up any hairstyle in a flash with a skinny hair feather accessory, like Selena Gomez does here.

Argan Oil...Liquid Gold

I read a very informative article in the May issue of DERMASCOPE magazine. It gave some great facts about Argan Oil. Argan oil (it's the awesome oil in many of our professional products we sell at The Haven.) Mainly in our Morracan Oil haircare line. Us stylist are always telling our clients how awesome this amazing argan oil is because we have seen the results and many of us use it on ourselves and on almost all our clients daily. For those are you who like a little more detail I thought I would share some great facts. 

In the South- Western parts of Morocco, argan oil is extracted from nuts of argan trees. Often times referred to as "liquid gold". The process used to extract the precious oil from the argan trees is a manual and laborious process that has become a tradition among the local Berber woman. The production of argan oil allows these women to gain social benefits in a country where equal rights are not yet fully established; affording them a sustainable livelihood and an opportunity to earn fair wages. The process to extract the oil as mentioned before is laborious. The initial stage of this process is the actual removal of the nut from the fruit. Next, the shell of each nut is forcibly opened to obtain the kernel. Once all the kernels are collected they are roasted over mild heat. Then the roasted kernels are left to cool, ground in a quern made out of stone, and then blended with water into dough.

- Argan Tree -

- Argan fruit has a green fleshy exterior like an olive, but larger and rounder. Inside, there is a nut with an extremely hard shell, which in turn contains one, two or even three almond shaped kernels. -

- It is said that producing one liter of oil takes about 20 hours worth of work - 

(no wonder this oil doesn't come cheap)

In regards to our personal health and beauty, argan oil is outstanding choice. There are two types of argan oil. one used for cosmetic purposes and one for culinary purposes. Beyond its nutritional benefits, argan oil has many beautifying effects. As a cosmetic medium, the oil is magnificent for hair, skin and nails. In addition argan oil is a rich source of Vitamin E (a strong antioxidant) making it a great way to combat the again process. Argan oil has the ability to lock in moisture. This is great of skin and hair. Locks in moisture in the hair and eliminates frizz. Argan oil helps decrease blowdrying time. Helps hair look and feel so shiny and smooth. Is a great thermal protectant. So great of our dry Utah weather. Great on skin for after waxing or shaving. The list could go on and on. Argan oil provides unparalleled results making it worth of it's informal title...."Liquid Gold".
