A few days before the birth of my son I had the pleasure of being treated to a "me day" at Bangz Salon & Wellness Spa in Montclair, NJ that included a wash, blow out and cut by none other than industry expert and co-founder Dominick Sansevero who was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. 

As a stylist & salon owner for 30 years, Dominick's career began in & continues to grow in Montclair. Dominick specializes in cutting techniques for all types of hair textures. Although he does not do haircolor, Dominick brings his advanced knowledge, creative flair & impeccable attention to detail into all color consultations with his colorists.

What type of oils are you using to cook with? It may be "time to change your oil" Pompeian was kind enough to send me two of their oils to try. First let me say that the amount of oil you get for the price can't be beat! The taste is great and I like how versatile they are.

Also Pompeian is challenging bloggers to CREATE OR RECREATE A RECIPE featuring Pompeian Grapeseed Oil and OlivExtra Premium Mediterranean Blend and enter to win a trip to BlogHer Food ’13. For more information on the "Time to Change Your Oil" campaign and contest, visit the Pompeian Facebook page.

Thanks to recent scientific findings, the Mediterranean diet has boosted the popularity of olive oil. And as a leader in olive oil, Pompeian wants to share another treasure of the food world - grapeseed oil. A chef secret for decades, grapeseed oil has similar health benefits to olive oil, but is even more versatile for cooking due to its light taste and high smoke point.

I have teamed up with BrushLove.com to bring you their awesome giveaway for this month. You can win a Satina Manicure/Pedicure 11 piece set along with a Brushlab Zebra cushion paddle hair brush perfect for curly haired girls and fashionistas!
