The Makers is a photo project by Jennifer Causey (I’ve talked about her here before!), in which she registers images of several creative people, real sources of desire and inspiration.

In these pictures you can see the photographer and stylist Karen Mordechai, creator of one of the most beautiful cooking websites ever, Sunday Suppers. I’ve always wanted to participate in one of her class-cooking-dining experiences, offered in this beautiful loft. Maybe someday…

Macadamia oil treatment by Redken

Does your hair needs hydration and nutrition? Then you need to know more about Redken Smooth Down products.

Last week I was invited by Redken to try the Macadamia Oil treatment, that uses and enhances the effects of their Smooth Down line.

Redken Smooth Down

The Smooth Down line is specially formulated to enrich and tame extremely dry and unruly hair. It has macadamia oilcandelilla wax and cationic refiners to help replenish oils, provide intense smoothing and a long-lasting, humidity-resistant, frizz-free finish.

The treatment is super fast and has three steps:

1. Smooth Down Shampoo
Gently cleanses and tames to help provide a long-lasting, frizz-free finish.

2.  Smooth Down Butter
Ultra-rich rinse-out cream that provides intense smoothing, long-lasting conditioning, nourishment and control.

3. Heat Glide Smooth Down
Leave-in serum that provides heat-safe control to tame frizz on even the most unruly hair. Gives an ultra-smooth, glossy finish.

Escova de Macadâmia Redken

After the treatment, my hair was super hydrated, soft and shiny. Amazing how, even after the brush, my hair was super natural and completely frizz-free! I’m doing maintenance at home with the Smooth Down Shampoo and I’m loving it!

How about you, have you tried this Redken line?

Rita Hayworth as Gilda

The other day I watched Gilda (directed by Charles Vidor in 1946) and became even more in love with the beautiful Rita Hayworth. She’s so pretty, so sweet and so sexy… They really don’t make muses like they used to. The plot, a sinister love triangle that takes place in a casino in Argentina, is the least important, since you will spend the 110 minutes of the movie completely mesmerized by Rita. Or better yet, by the unforgettable Gilda.

In one of the most amazing scenes in the film, Gilda sings Put the Blame on Mame, while performing a killer mini-strip-tease that made ​​history (Rita Hayworth was dubbed by the singer Anita Ellis):


I also love the little dance number in the song Amado Mio.

Tip: if you like fashion, you will be thrilled with Gilda’s wonderful outfits, including the black satin dress used in the above scene, created by costume designer Jean Louis Berthault, that became one of the most famous dresses in cinema history.

There never was a woman like Gilda! :)

The Underwater Project is an amazing photography series by Mark Tipple. Mark captures images of surfers as they struggle to emerge from the waves. In his own words: “Surf photography’s been around forever. I wanted something different.” Different and gorgeous, isn’t?
