It's the Bee's Knees

Nothing goes better with Lazy Leopard hair accessories than a perfect hair do. As many women know there are a ton of products out there that promise ultimate beauty when it comes to styling their hair. In my experience, the best policy when choosing hair products is ensuring it's good for your hair. Everyday factors downplay the shine of your hair such as blow-drying, flat ironing and styling your hair with alcohol-based styling products. 

What if there was an all natural product that can hold your hair in place  and makes you feel good about your purchase? Well friends, look no further and try out a locally made product, Dr. Rubin's Pomade! Stemming from an original formula created back in 1944...all of their products are made of 100% all natural ingredients. The best part is a portion of sales from each pomade can goes to Honey Bee Research and Conservation at the University of California, Davis! They also offer other great products like lip balm, lotions and more!

Hidden Treasure

When selecting a nice little weekend getaway a great alternative to the sunny side beaches of Long Beach, CA is to take a drive up the mountain to Big Bear and rent out a nice cabin for a cozy stay up there. Whether you visit during the winter time to hit the slopes on Snow Summit or want to enjoy fishing at Big Bear Lake for the summer, it will surely prove for a memorable time! 

As most of us know, whatever festivities you partake in many like to get the party started with a few tasty drinks, so what a better place than to stop in to Big Bear's new hidden treasure, Home of the Hangover. This is my latest favorite find as their unique selection can not be beat! Not only do they offer the basics such as Jack Daniels and Budweiser but you can also find rare treats such as Hello Kitty wine to a fine herbal liqueur AGWA de Bolivia! In addition to beverages, they offer kitschy drinking games, drinking accessories like Cocktail Candy and other products such as Slap a Bitch hand sanitizer. The best feature of the store is their delivery service for those who rather would hang back at the cabin for just $10, a price that surely can't be beat! To top it all off the owner, Jim provides for great hospitality and amazing product knowledge! So keep them in mind for all your entertainment needs next time you're hanging out in Big Bear!
