#HelloAio, Welcome to Houston!

This is a compensated post but all opions expressed are my own

Fun times at the Blogger Social for Aio Wireless. Who is Aio Wireless, well they are an AT&T subsidy (basically a company under a company) that is introducing us to to a more simple approach to going mobile here in the Houston area and expanding all over the U.S as we speak, or you read, I type, you know what I mean. lol

Told you simple! Love it and here is why...

3 simple plans

$35, $50 & $65 and if you want to add UNLIMITED international calling to your plan it's just an extra 10 bucks! That totally beats a calling card. *just saying, I'm into saving money...well spending it on other things besides a bill. Ok back to simple...

bring your own phone, if it's compatible keep it and use it or purchase a new one and get a credit towards your old phone. (very good deal, a friend received $250 towards a new iphone5 this day) 

Jen looking very Aniston

What I loved loved loved about Aio was that they are not only taking up space in our communities, they are giving back to our communities. 

• In "H-Town," Aio Wireless locked arms with Girls Inc. of Greater Houston, LULAC National Educational Service Centers and the Houston Area Urban League to find 30 talented students.
• Each student selected receives a $1,000 scholarship.
• ZTE, one of Aio's device manufacturers, is donating a super cool ZTE Velox tablet to each scholarship recipient because they know how much tablet technology is changing the way we take-in information and learn.
• Our scholarship recipients' inspirational stories and dreams will be told on Aio's Facebook page for the next 30 days pictures, quotes and all.
• A cool party and bumping DJ at the Houston Museum of Natural Science on May 30.That's where the students will receive their scholarship and the tablet.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the event and this post...I don't know about you, but I am a big giver and believer in giving back. The fact that Aio hasn't been apart of my community for less than 30 days and is already giving back, shows a lot! Thanks Aio and Welcome to Houston!

Houston Image Expo- fun fun!

The Image Expo rolled into Houston over the weekend and I was able to attend the  first day. Wanted to go both days but had tons to do. I met so many fabulous people, got to know beauty brands that I otherwise probably never would have met and ultimately it was a blast. Shared the day with my bff blogger Magen Pastor. We scored lots of goodies, saw lots of new trends and made some great connections! 

casual kind of day...

the weather was so beautiful outside

 I was in heaven when I learned about these hair extensions! Mine will be shipped very soon.... Super easy to apply and take down hair extensions makes this product a must have!

Cute leopard and red outfit

 

Magen applying blush on with the biggest make up brush in the world!

 

Shany is a Houston based beauty brand who had the cutest make up bags, and make up cases. See the make up palette?  Yes, it's real makeup and it's soo cute I wanted to bring it home with me!

models for Recomier a salon only product, Hola Gustavo!

 You know I had to "Spoil Myself" too...lol

 

And so did Magen...you should have seen her mini tight curly strand, so funny and cute! 

 

Love these Vodana products! The curling iron above is a brush and curling iron in one, which gave me a sexy summer wavy look that I went gaga over.

Meet Aaron the CEO. He gave me great insight into Vodana, they are the manufacturer of Paul Mitchell products and other high profile clients and he created his own brand. Vodana means "better than" in Japanese.

 

Summer nail color must haves

 Obliphica had the largest and most beautiful set up. The staff was so friendly. The products are worn by Pamela Anderson, Macy Gray, Kendra Wilkinson and just added, ME!

 Obliphica just launched a new hair color collection that I cannot wait to try!
New hair color coming soon..... lol

fun video....excuse Beyonce's lyrics...just seems fitting. lol


  

So much fun, Thanks to The Image Expo for bringing such a great event for the beauty professional to Houston!

Cover Girl and The Hunger Games unite

CoverGirl makes a power move collabing with The Hunger Games. The movie which stars Jennifer Lawrence, Iam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson in the second installment of The Hunger Games franchise. 

The film promises to illustrate the exquisite splendor in the world of the Capitol in rich detail, and the film's makeup department used COVERGIRL products on set to create the film's luxurious, high couture looks. Which I can not wait to replicate.

"With The Hunger Games: Catching Fire partnership, we wanted to redefine cosmetics' relationship to film with a fantasy-meets-reality beauty experience," said Esi Eggleston Bracey , VP and General Manager, Global P&G Cosmetics. "The film inspired COVERGIRL campaign coming out this fall truly will bring beauty transformation to life in an aspirational, dramatic fashion. All of us at COVERGIRL were captivated by Suzanne Collins ' novels and the first film, so we're thrilled to collaborate with Lionsgate on such a bold beauty partnership with the release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire."

Novela inspired looks from Mary Kay- Giveaway! *ad

Hola Bella's! Are you one of those girls who loves to play with makeup and sometimes try to recreate a look you saw on a celebrity on the red carpet or on television? I know, I am guilty of it!  Since there really aren't any tutorials from the celebrity make up artist themselves on the particular look I want to try, I usually free hand it and although not the exact same, I love it! 

Mary Kay is an official sponsor of the latest Univision.com webnovela, Arranque de Pasión. 

The novela will have scenes where the product will be shown in use during the novela. Mary Kay is doing something really cool for us beauty fanatics, they have establihed some of the character “looks” of the novela and has created a series of vignette where celebrity makeup artists Luis Casco and Mariela Bagnato will share tips with viewers on how to replicate the characters’ looks.
Love it!

Kardashian Hairstylist Clyde Haygood talks "Braids, Top Knots and Pony Tails" for summer!

Behind every fabulous celebrity is a Hair God  that is responsible for the mane. Clyde "The Hair God" Haygood has been the Kardashian family hairstylist for the past 8 years and is fortunate for his talent that he is blessed to travel with the clan to all of their travel engagements and family vacations. I am sure the girls are fighting over him!

 I caught up with him while he was traveling with the sisters to launch the Spring 2013 Kardashian Kollection for Sears (watch it here) and I asked him what the KK's love, about setting trends and what we all can do to make our hair stand out in the upcoming Summer season. 

Take a peak, share the video and let me know if you like it, by leaving a comment!
