Yesenia's pin up hair!

2013-03-09T22:47:00.000-08:00

I made a video with a subscriber. It was a lot of fun.

Here is the hair style she requested

Here we are together once we were done. She decided to wear the curl going down instead of up.

Yesenia has a beautiful family that she really loves. I was very lucky to meet such a sweet and humble person.

After our video, we sat down and talked about self esteem. We were able to record our conversation, so be sure to subscribe to my vlogging channel IrisVlogging on YouTube, so that you can see and hear that!

My Clairol Hair Color Change Experience

2013-03-04T10:48:00.000-08:00

On Saturday, I had the opportunity to get my hair styled by professional celebrity hair stylist, Gilbert Muniz. "His celebrity roster includes Abigail Spencer, Alison Brie, Brittney Gastineau, Patricia Kennedy, Paz Vega, Aubrey O' Day, Jamie Lynn Sigler, Jaime Ray Newman, Jonathan Bennett, and Natalie Zea, just to name a few."

Arriving in Los Angeles, and admiring the scenes...

This will actually be a photo blog coming soon through Clairol, but I wanted to give you a peek at what happened that day!
The color we chose is called "Coffee Creme" by Clairol Natural Instincts.

We started off with some natural looking makeup for my "before" picture:

Here is my "before" photo, also posted on instagram (Instagram name ILoveGerard0)

I applied the color myself and was now working on adding the final conditioning step. They took photos of me during the process for their photo blog.

The last step of this process smells SOOOOOO YUMMY ANNNND, it leaves your hair feeling like a silk scarf!

Now, it was time to get my hair styled by Gilbert!
Here is his website in case you want to know more about him.
http://gilbertmuniz.com/index2.php#/home/

And now, my hair is done!

Time for makeup!!Kimberly's make up on me made me feel like a whole other woman! I loved it and wish I could do my make up like she did it, every day!

TADA!What do you think??? Like it?

This is Jose! He is the one who gave me this opportunity.

Pictured below: Me, Gilbert Muniz, Make up artist Kimberly Bragalone and beautiful YouTube guru, Giselle from http://www.youtube.com/user/SprintingStilettosTV

We did take some professional photos, but those are to come! I will make sure to announce when they are up on Clairol! It was a fun filled day and something that is definitely out of the ordinary for me. If you follow my vlogging channel, you know my life is pretty average :)

After the shoot, hubby and I went out on a date to Hollywood and then Beverly Hills. No need to waste this good hair and makeup! (Not my hubby in the photo)

Just walking around site-seeing:

I had the salmon and veggies. Hubby had the steak and fries!

I hope you enjoyed coming along with me on this trip! I asked hubby to take as many photos as possible, so that you all got to see too. Thanks for reading my blog and I hope you are having a good day so far!

Healthy Ice Cream Treat!

My favorite long hair gurus and their advice on obtaining long hair

2013-01-17T10:55:00.000-08:00

When people ask me about how to get their hair to grow long, I can't help but to want to direct them to ALL of these videos. I truly believe in everything that they are sharing. I know the videos are long, but they will educate your mind and guide you toward your long hair journey. I am personally trying to grow my hair long and am hoping that I can achieve it by following all of this advice:

Dez, from the YouTube channel DeziredBeauty, is just one of those women who will forever be envied by the entire world, because she is so beautiful! I kind of feel bad for her for being so stunning and smart! Why do I feel bad for her? Because you know that people are mean to her for just existing hahaha! To add to that, she was blessed with amazing locks of hair. I admire her for not keeping her beauty secrets to herself. She shares them with the world on her beauty channel. Here is her video on how to grow long hair.

The next videos are from bishonenrancher, not only is this woman so beautiful, but she is knowledgeable and speaks intelligently. Sometimes the way she speaks makes me forget that I am watching youtube and instead I am watching some sort of documentary hahaha! I love how she puts detail into everything that she shows us. What I also enjoy about her channel is that she features her her corsets and even does occasional corset giveaways. I am obsessed with corsets and wish I could wear them every day.

Here are her very informative videos on hair growth:

Next is torrinpaige. Torrin is like that awesome neighbor you wish you had. She is always so bubbly and chatty and she makes delicious treats which she occasionally features on her channel. You should also check out her unique, annual Christmas tree theme; you won't be disappointed. Of course, her channel is hair related, so she does offer tips on taking care of long hair. Here is her informative video:

I recently started to watch this channel beautyklove, and am still not familiar with her 100% but I know that English is not her first language and she lives in the Philippines. She seems very sweet and her tutorials are pretty! Recently, she has been posting a lot of fun "no-heat" hair tutorials. I am sure you will enjoy her channel if you subscribe. Here is her video on long hair.

Here is my video on my channel, ilovegerardo, on my best advice to care for hair for the benefit of growth.

Let

And if you are a guy trying to grow long hair, check out Justin's channel:
Musique3579 Justin is a very kind man with a happy heart! Justin is musically talented and played music for my Rapunzel video!
Here is his video on how to grow long hair...

Ti Touch Titanium Peacock Flat Iron

Ti Touch Titanium Peacock Flat Iron is one of the most elegant hair straighteners to hit the professional salons in years! It has incorporated the "1-pass technology" to offer you the ability to straighten your hair in one pass & keeps your hair looking glossy and healthy! In addition, Ti Creative Style included the new patented ventilation holds on their specially designed flat irons. These ventilation holds have been designed to release the correct amount of heat from your hair, only allowing heat to lock in the essential oils and minerals & removing your hair's daily build up of grime.

Tourmaline / Titanium Technology: Ti Touch Titanium Hair Straightener distributes heat across the entire surface evenly, retains heat more efficiently, and eliminates damaging hot spots. It emits a natural source of negative ions and far infrared heat that helps your hair
1. Preserve more moisture within the hair shaft
2. Eliminates frizz and close the cuticle to create smooth and shiny hair
3. Causes less damage to the hair cuticle during styling

Black Tourmaline Technology: Black Tourmaline speeds up the ionic properties of the Tourmaline/ Titanium plates, which helps style the hair faster, leaving it feeling and looking healthy and young. This is the featuring option of the Ti Touch Titanium! When the Black Tourmaline is heated up, it detoxifies and sterilizes, breaking down bacterial build up in your hair. The result is: younger & more manageable hair!

Negative Ion Technology: Negative ions are atoms that can stop the growth of bacteria, fungi, etc., resulting in healthier hair and scalp. Negative ion energy is powerful enough to break apart clusters of water molecules. The smaller water molecules penetrate into the hair shaft by slipping between the cuticles, adding plumpness/volume to hair. The bombardment of negative ions also closes the hair cuticle, which is very good for the health and appearance of the hair.

Features

1 pass technology
Ultra smooth titanium plates for healthier hair and a high gloss shine
Accurate temperature adjustments via integrated digital control
Auto diagnostic circuitry ensures constant plate temperature
Power LED indicator
Adjustable temperature from 140 to 450 F for easy use

Where I find motivation to workout

2012-12-11T12:08:00.002-08:00

I am not trying to toot my own horn here, but for the sake of painting a picture for you on what I do and how I find the energy to do it, I will list some of my weekly tasks here (of course, they are not always like this, some days more, some days less
Get up 4 something in the morning, wish everyone on instagram a good morning, go to the gym to work out for an hour (cardio and weights), come home walk the dog, make three different breakfasts (we all eat something different in the morning), make smoothies, prep dinner by moving items from freezer to fridge, check youtube comments, wake up family, shower and get pretty, help my son change and get ready for school (he's 3 and half ), drop off at school, interact with teachers about anything that needs to be addressed, go to work, work, work, work, at lunch; run errands, after work; shop for groceries (some days), pick up son, play with son, make dinner, clean up our morning mess, check myself out before hubby comes home and freshen up, help son with homework, serve dinner, make time to talk to hubby, pack lunches, clean up kitchen mess, laundry (one day out of the week), prepare mine and son's clothes for the next day, depending on the weather, (including my workout clothes), give son a bath, work on my youtube channel stuff (either editing a video or writing back to people who write to me, wishing happy birthday's on facebook etc), washing up (or doing a longer night routine some nights for extra beautiness ha ha!), making sure son brushes his teeth, getting him to bed and reading a book together. Go to bed, search for instagram photos to post in the morning.

All of this, not to mention there are days when I have to make breakfast for work (I am part of a Breakfast club), make snacks for my son's school, research items for family, schedule play dates, take my son to places like the park or

or

or

Also, my mom passed away when she was 50 years old. She rarely made time for herself. She was an amazing person, but in my opinion, cared to much about her kids. She should have been alive today, if she just would have taken care of her health. I guess I shouldn't write things like that, but it's how I feel inside.

My goal is to be healthy and active.
