Episode: Rockstar Recipes
Betsey Johnson Charm Bracelet
Betsey's charm bracelets are always fun and flirty. Her jewelry doesn’t take itself too seriously and neither should you. From bold leopard-print hearts, to tacky-licious sea horses, you can find tons of cheeky summer styles.
MAC Gold Bronze
Sometimes skin can lack a little luster, but that doesn’t mean you should pull a ‘Jersey Shore’ and tan yourself orange. With this awesome Mac bronzer, you can add a sexy shimmer to your collar bone, arms, and bright glow to your face without overdoing it.
Vintage Sequined Dress
Summer is here and nothing looks better with a tan than gold. G found her gold sequined dress in 2001 at a vintage store for 30$. If scouring vintage shops ain't your cup of tea, check out this beauty for under $100. For a more subtle look, experiment with a gold sequined tank paired with jeans, or just go for a sequined purse to add a little flair.
Mindora Ring
Who says you can’t mix silver and gold? We say, bring on the bling! This classy ring is decked out with silver, complete with a 3/4" square inlayed with gold. A perfect addition to compliment your inner rockstar.
MAC Lipstain
G loves lipstains: they're lightweight, sheer, and last all night. Fills, defines and layers for more color when wanted and so perfect you won’t even need a lip liner. Head on over to MAC for similar shades.
Vivienne Westwood Heels
These shoes are wacky... Alright, they're balls-out crazy. For all the brave fashionistas out there, check out Vivienne Westwood's collection of fun, affordable, (and comfy) rubber heels.

Ask An Expert: Jason, What Is A Keratin Treatment?
Q: Jason, what is this keratin treatment everyone is talking about?
A: Perfect for those with frizzy or wavy hair, the Keratin treatment can be done on almost all hair types. It's a treatment that repels moisture and frizz ultimately making the hair appear smoother and straighter. The process is a bit lengthy, but according to many, worth every minute. So here's the deal:
1) Keratin treatments or Brazilian Blowouts are not a permanent procedure like a relaxer or the Japanese straightener. (Which also means that if your hair is super curly, you won't get those awful roots everyone was walking around with a few years ago when the Japanese straightener was the biggest trend)!
2) Keratin treatments/Brazilian Blowouts only last between a few weeks-4 months depending on the exact service you have done. Over time, your hair returns to its pre-treatment state and doesn't have re-growth as mentioned.
3) The cost for the service is around $400+. (Cost is based on time and/or amount of hair, experience of technician)
4) The process takes around 1.5 - 4 hours depending on how much hair you have as well as the speed the technician works at. The process involves washing, blowdrying, applying the treatment, flat ironing, going home, not sweating, not washing it, returning back to the salon and having it washed and styled again.
5) Some services require special shampoos so be prepared for an extra cost.
6) The end result is straighter, healthier, shiner hair without frizz and is said to in fact make the hair stronger. Celebs like Nicole Richie, Jen Aniston and Salma Hayek are all said to be fans!! Hope that helps! xoxo
