Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend the largest fashion and beauty tradeshow event on the East Coast, Emiliani Enterprises hosted their 2012 BeautyExpo, RUNWAY V. 

The event was held at the NJ Convention and Expo Center in Edison, NJ. The VIP opening night ceremony was held on Saturday, October 20th from 6:30-11pm and the Beauty Expo will began on Sunday, October 21st - Monday, October 22nd from 9am-5pm.

Some event highlights will included a tribute to Vidal Sassoon, a 100ft runway show event featuring top designers & stylists, and an exhibitor display of Ri Ci Curls - a five product hair line targeted specifically for women with curly hair founded by Ricky Pennisi.

Successful salon owner and stylist Ricky Pennisi, the founder of RI CI 
products, has specialized in curly hair since 1995. Ricky recognized the need to develop cutting techniques and products uniquely designed for his curly-haired clients. 

Knowing that the challenges presented by curly hair is unique to each client, Ricky set out to develop a product line with the ability to achieve beautiful curls each and every time while keeping the range of products simple and easy to understand. Ricky developed formulations utilizing the best available ingredients and testing the products on his most challenging curly-haired clientele.

My daughter and I were able to get consultations and our hair styled at the show by Ricky Pennisi himself! Up until attending the show I had never heard of RI CI Curls. It gave my hair so much moisture, definition and shine. The best part is that it gives you the wet/ gelled hair look with out the damage or that hard crunchy texture. I also love hat my hair was still looking great, practically the same definition 3 to 4 days after having it styled.

The products used on both my daughter and I were the products that come in the "Styling Kit" which are:  (1) 16oz. Splash Shampoo, (1) 16oz. Drench Conditioner, (1) 8oz. Thirsty Styling Gel, (1) 8oz. Memory Setting Spray and (1) 3oz. Velvet Serum. Click to read detailed product ingredients. Between the products and the RI CI Styling Steps my hair has never looked better! I cannot say anything more positive about these products other than I love them!

After having had my hair styled it was my daughters turn and she gladly agreed. Like me she tends to have tons of shrinkage and the products seemed to help a tad. Also my main problem with her hair is it flattening in the back when she sits in the car seat. I noticed the curls kept their shape, definition and bounce all I had to do was fluff it a bit with my fingers and it looked great.

It was very simple actually, my name Daily means daily in the English language, then the first thing that came to mind was dailycurlz curls every day (I added the Z to make it look different)

4) How long have you Blogging?
 
I have been blogging since April 2011

5) Why and how you decided to enter the world of blogging?

My hair had been chemically processed since the age of 15 and after much thought, I was deciding to or battled with the idea of ​​letting go of chemical relaxers and I did. During the transition process I was desperately seeking support and acceptance in the Latino community, in my friends and family, I started putting photos and post on my personal Facebook page and did not see, or feel that support. Several "friends" would say that all I was talking about was hair and were tired of it, that day I opened a Facebook fan page with the same name dailycurlz, I started doing research and posting on my new page where I received a tremendous support from my natural hair sisters, first by the African-American community and gradually the Latin, but I realized that Facebook loses the information over time and that was how it was born www.dailycurlz.com was originally in Spanish and then became a bilingual, all posts are in both Spanish and English.

6) What if any is the difference between a blogger in the U..S. and the Dominican Republic?

The only difference from my point of view is that in the United States bloggers are given more value.. Growth opportunities are incredible if you work hard and consistent. In America a blogger is someone important and companies see you and appreciate you as such.

7) In 6 months where do you see yourself as a blogger and where do you see your blog?

I do not set dates, I try to make each post authentic and full of love. I have many aspirations for my blog and would like to undertake right now. I would like to have the opportunity to devote myself full time to this and to take be able to sustain myself from the blogging since this is a passion for me, I read and try to stay ahead with the times. I'm always looking for that little opportunity to take my blog to another level.

8) What is your goal for your blog in 5 years?

Only God knows, but I'll be safe here, Latinas have much to learn when it comes to naturaly curly hair and the damage done by chemicals, I assure you I have work for a while. jejjej

9) How do you describe your personal style?

My style is very casual, I try to dress appropriately for each occasion, although I confess that since I'm blogging and I am meeting so many girls like yourself and other fabulous fashionistas I feel my style is a bit more daring. I am more comfortable combining textures and colors that I used to think would not or could not go with my skin color.

10) For who or for which blog would like to be a blog guest blogger on?

I'd be lying if I said I would not like to be invited to onto a great well known blog like for example Latina magazine, Essence Magazine and other independent famous bloggers, that would be a dream, but I'm at a stage where every mention, every invitation even and is even when it is to take part in a photographic session makes me feel immensely grateful & I a very humbled.

11) What trends are you currently loving and which ones do you dislike?

I love neon and its combinations with beige and other neon colors. Also I like creating arm parties with different bracelets combined with different textures and colors.

12) How do you shop, on a budget, online, thrifting?

In this economy it is difficult to have a plan with respect to purchases, the good thing is that we have several sources where we can investigate and research before buying. If you have something in mind before you go shopping look online first, the budget is always the lowest jajjajja! I check on E-bay, Amazon, check the links on Pinteret photo's that I like and that is when I go to stores .. Marshall, Ross and TJmax are my best friends.

13) What are the rules that you always use when blogging about fashion? (optional)

I do not blog about fashion often, but is something I want to start doing more of, the rules are simple, I can make entries or post about almost everything but always with a touch of curly hair, whether I speak of the Neon trends, for example I focus on how well it would work with this or that hairstyle, always keeping the same line of the blog and my readers.

14) Music you are currently listening to?

I have two young girls, for that reason I am always listening to music in English that is in, I do it as a way to be connected more with them, of course there are always time to include a bachata or a good Merenguito... sopla chichi ... 

15) Your favorite dish and your favorite restaurant?

I like to try everything, to know the cultures of the countries for their food. I am the type of person that will walk into a new the restaurant. I also take magazine clippings and paste in the fridge and then visit.

16) Anything you would like readers to know about you or your blog?

Thank you for the opportunity to reach your readers, thank you for the support you have given me each time I have needed it. Maybe your readers do not know about the  great heart you have and I want to take this opportunity to let them know (I hope you do not edit this part jajjajjaj).

Actualmente vivo en Santo Domingo con Constante viajes a California por motivos de negocios.

2) Nombre de su blog?

Daily Curlz

3) Como surgió el nombre para su blog?

4) Cuanto tiempo tienes blogging?

Estoy blogging desde Abril del 2011

5) Por que o como decidiste entrar en el mundo de blogging?

Mi cabello había sido químicamente procesado desde los 15 anos de edad y después de mucho pensar, desidi o batalle con la idea de dejar el alisado y así lo hice, en el proceso de transición buscaba desesperadamente apoyo y aceptación en la comunidad Latina, en mis amigos y familiares, comencé a poner fotos y post en mi pagina personal de facebook y no veia, ni sentía ese apoyo. Varios "amigos" comentaron que yo todo lo que hablaba era de cabello, que ya los tenia cansado; Ese mismo día abrí una pagina en Facebook que lleva el mismo nombre de dailycurlz, comencé hacer investigaciones y hacer entradas en mi nueva pagina donde recibí un apoyo enorme de las que son mis hermanas Natural, primero de la comunidad Afro-Americana y poco a poco de la Latina, pero me di cuenta que Facebook pierde las informaciones con el paso del tiempo y fue así como nació www.dailycurlz.com que un principio era en Español y luego la convertí en Bilingue, osea todos los post están en Español e Ingles.

6) Cual si hay algunas son las diferencias entre un blogger Dominicano y uno de los E.U?

La única diferencia desde mi punto de vista es que EU se les dan mas valor a los blogger, las oportunidades de crecer son increíbles si trabajas mucho y con constancia. En EU un blogger es alguien importante y las compañías te ven y te valoran como tal.

7) En 6 meses adonde te vez como bloggera y adonde vez tu blog?

Yo no le pongo fechas, trato de dar un trabajo autentico y lleno de mucho amor. Tengo muchas aspiraciones con respecto a mi blog y quisiera que se realizaran ahora mismo para tener la oportunidad de dedicarme tiempo completo a esto y el poder sustentarme de el ya que esta es una pasión para mi, por esta razón me capacito, leo y trato de estar a la vanguardia con los nuevos tiempos. Estoy constantemente a la búsqueda de esa pequeña oportunidad que lleve mi blog a otro nivel.

8) Cual es tu meta para tu blog de aquí a 5 años?

Solo Dios sabe, pero de seguro aquí estaré, Las Latinas tienen tanto que aprender del cabello natural rizo y del daño  que hacen los químicos, que te aseguro que tengo trabajo para rato. jejjej

9) Como describirías to estilo personal?

Mi estilo es muy casual, trato de vestirme adecuadamente para cada ocasión, aunque te confieso que desde que estoy blogging y sigo y me siguen tantas chicas fabulosas como tu y otras fashionista mi estilo es un poco mas atrevido en el sentido que me siento mas cómoda combinando texturas y colores que antes pensaba no iban o no podía usar por mi color de piel.

10) Cuales son las tendencias que te encantan en el momento? Las que no te gustan?

Me encanta el neo y sus combinaciones con Crema y otros neon. También en tirintineo de las diferente pulseras combinadas con diferentes texturas y colores.

11) Para quien o para cual blog te gustaría ser un blogger invitado?

Te mentiría si te dijera que no me gustaría ser invitada a un gran blog reconocido por ejemplo los blog de revista con Latina Magazine y Essence u otras Blogeras independientes famosas, eso seria un sueño, pero estoy en una etapa en la que cada mención, cada invitación aun y sea para formar parte de una sección fotográfica me hace sentir inmensamente agradecida de una forma muy humilde.

12) Como haces tus compras? Con presupuesto? Online? Tiendas de Marca?

En esta economía es difícil el tener un plan con respecto a las compras, lo bueno es que que contamos con varias fuentes de investigación y búsqueda antes de comprar. Tengo algo en mente y antes de salir a comprar primero busco  Online, el presupuesto siempre es mínimo, jajjajja busco en E-bay, Amazon, entro a los links de las fotos de pinterets que me gusto y es entonces cuando me dirijo a las tiendas.. Marshall, Ross y TJmax son mis mejores amigas.

13) Cuales son las reglas que siempre usas cuando estas blogging sobre la moda? (opcional)

Casimente no hago blogging acerca de moda, aunque es algo que quiero comenzar hacer con mas frecuencia, las reglas son simples, yo puedo hacer entradas o post acerca de casi todo pero siempre manteniendo el toque del pelo rizado en el, si voy hablar de las tendencias Neon, por ejemplo me enfoco en lo bien que se vería con tal o cual peinado, siempre manteniendo la misma linea del blog y mis lectoras.

14) La música que estas escuchando actualmente?

Tengo dos niñas, por tal razón siempre estoy escuchando la música en ingles que esta de moda, lo hago como una forma de estar conectada mas con ellas;Claro que siempre hay momentos para incluir una bachata o un buen merenguito, sopla chichi...

15) Tu plato preferido y/ o tu Restaurante preferido?

A mi me gusta probar de todo, conocer las culturas de los países por su comida, soy de las que entro a nuevos restaurantes y pego recortes de revistas en la nevera para luego visitar...
