Do you ever wonder what your stylist is talking about in the back room with the other stylists? Is it juicy gossip? Titillating tales of what happened last weekend? The meaning of life? Nope, most likely we're talking about food: what we cooked last night, what we're going to have today for lunch, and what amazing, creative thing we're going to do with those pesky leftovers tomorrow.

Cocktailing! I know what you're thinking; a scene from an 80's movie with Tom Cruise tossing liquor bottles up in the air. Well there's a whole other meaning to the word than that, a meaning that can give you a better hair day every day.

Hair Mixology is taking two different styling products and mixing or emulsifying them in your hands and applying the mixture to your hair. This is cocktailing.

Here are a few of our favorite cocktails featuring the Alterna professional line of haircare products:

*The Boho

Sensitive Pisceans oftentimes like to escape from the harsh realities of the world. Going to a spa offers them a healthy refuge where they can find the peace they seek. Because they usually put other people first, a visit to a spa can help them to balance their energies, accepting care and pampering from others. The Fish swims toward treatments that feature water! Pisceans are very connected to their sensitive soles, given that their sign rules the feet. Therefore, pedicures rank high on their spa to-do list.

Foursquare: what is it and why should I care?

So there you are, passing a leisurely moment perusing Facebook, when someone updates their status with something like: “Jessie just checked in at Big Al’s Toy Barn.” What’s that all about? Should I be in on this? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Foursquare 101.

What is Foursquare? Foursquare is a social networking site/app for your smartphone or other mobile device. It uses the GPS in your phone to know where you are. You’ll “check-in” using the Foursquare application by pressing the “check-in” button.
