The Broot

Sometimes our hair needs a little TLC, more than the ordinary shampoo, rinse, deep conditioner, satin pillowcase…I’m talking about some fruits and veggies!!!

Whaaaa????? No i’m not drunk, I wrote that right. Guys can do this too, but hair long enough to pass your ears really benefit from it the most, so gentleman- with those gorgeous manes this is for you too, I’ve seen you! I don’t know where you are hiding but listen up too!

InstaBali

Hello there Gorgeousness!

Tell me you have an instagram!?

One of the aspects of instagram that I enjoy and think they have developed really well, is the feeling that you get to travel with your favorite people. It is very visually driven and yes at times we have few people who think they are professional photographers with their phones because all those pretty filters can be misleading. But I love it! I love pictures and textures. Soft pastels and bold colors make me smile and the quotes make me laugh. My favorite is that I feel like I get to share the things I learn and enjoy as I travel and get smarter. Come with me! If you have an instagram, travel along with me Stephanie_Marinello and share as we learn things together.

Bali Treasures

Bali is the type of place that gets you thinking.

It’s strikingly different culture and language from mine contrasted with it’s near perfect weather and surf got me….well, thinking. Let me be honest…thinking wasn’t quite the mind set I had when I walked off the plane… initially first thing that happened was “Holly Sh**t that’s what cankles look like on me” when I happened to look at my feet after 24 hours of travel. Then I ate really good food, and that just made me happy and relaxed. After quickly realizing I could not pronounce any of the words any where and that internet connection was not reliable so not even Google translator could help me…I THEN realized how foreign of an environment I was in. Some unsteady acceptance followed suit….AND then I got to the thinking phase. Justifiable natural progression of events, no?
