Today I had the pleasure of getting my hair cut by Kim Myles, a New York City hair dresser who won Design Star and then moved to Los Angeles to host her own show ("Myles of Style") for a few seasons. It was the only TV show I watched until unemployment had me resort to a few episodes of "Monk" and "What Not to Wear." Kim is a super talented--and sweet--lady, and I am disappointed that her show was cancelled. However, the cancellation prompted a return to hairdressing, and you can visit her at Luxe Salon in Silverlake, Los Angeles.
Also, friends, I have to share that there was a bowl of Hershey Easter candy sitting on the counter at Luxe, and I almost grabbed a mini-Krackel bar. Then I remembered in the nick of time--no on Hershey chocolate! For those of you who might wish to join this boycott, remember that Hershey chocolate products include the following: Reese's, Almond Joy, Peppermint Patties, Mounds, Kit Kat, Cadbury, Heath, Mauna Loa, Milkduds, Mr. Goodbar, Payday, and Rollos. They also produce Dagoba chocolate, but it's probably not tainted with slave labor because it is organic. Other non-chocolate Hershey products can be found here. Realistically, it may take some time to wean yourself off of these products, but in the end everyone benefits. Fair trade chocolate generally tastes better and is better for you! (Gosh, that sounded cheesy, but it's true!)
