In the Flow of Change with Georgia NY

All good things must come to an end, but absolutely fabulous things only get even better. After three years at their flagship location on The Bowery in New York City, the ladies of Georgia NY are bidding adieu to the retail world to focus on their global presence in wholesale and online. The doors will close at the end of September, so if you are in the area (89 East Houston) please stop on by for discounted goodies and warm conversation.

Those of you who, like me, are already hankering to relax in the eclectically charming and well-appointed boutique/salon as you have known it, can take heart. There are plans in the works for a new salon in NYC, and products from their private label, Georgia by G & Company will be available online as well as at select boutiques internationally. You cannot hold a good woman back from her dreams, let alone two!

All the very best to owners Jodie Patterson and Kiara Ellozy. You are visionaries and artisans par excellence. We are excited to behold the next iteration of Georgia NY! -Zee

Mischo Beauty Superstar of the Week: Karen Robinovitz: Founder & Creatrix, Purple Lab

I've been following the founder of Purple Lab, Karen Robinovitz, for over a year now since being introduced to her first product launch, Huge Lips Skinny Hips. And I must say, she's a woman after my own heart! We have somewhat similar paths in that we both attended college in Atlanta, were both pre-med majors, but most importantly we share a passion for beauty and beauty entrepreneurship.

Over the past year, not only have I witnessed the amazing take off of Huge Lips Skinny Hips, but Karen has also successfully launched a collection of foundations, concealers, blushes, eyeliners, mascaras and of course, a complete range of lip products. Great products, along with an amazing marketing/social media campaign have landed Purple Lab on HSN!

And with all that said, I'm sure you can see why she's a huge inspiration and an amazing role model- and that's why she is this week's "Mischo Beauty Superstar". To learn more about Karen and Purple Lab, check out the website , Facebook page, and follow her and Purple Lab on Twitter. Oh, and be sure to let me know if you've tried any Purple Lab products. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Mischo Beauty Pick: Karen's Body Beautiful

If you're wondering how to get gorgeous hair now (yes, that's the headline for the August issue of ELLE UK- and so appropriate for this post!), then you need to seriously consider checking out the collection of hair products by Karen's Body Beautiful. I'm using the regimenUltimate Conditioning Shampoo, Complete Hair Conditioner, Sweet Ambrosia and Butter Love- and my naturally dry, Type 4 hair loves it!

I'm proof that these products work for all hair types/issues. I'm 3 months post-texturizer, have 3 inches of new growth and the midshaft to ends of my hair are relaxed. So yes, these products work for a variety of hair types and needs. And, this specific regimen is recommended for hair prone to dryness, which definitely meets my needs.

The collection is free of parabens, sulfates and mineral oil, and is formulated with ingredients such as olive oil, jojoba oil, shea butter and apricot kernel oil. If that isn't a formula for gorgeous hair, then I don't know what is! Wouldn't you agree?

Mischo Beauty Superstar of the Week: Karen Tappin-Saunderson: Founder, Karen’s Body Beautiful

Since you all have been following my blog for some time now, you already know that there's nothing I love more than beauty entrepreneurs. And so, I'm happy to introduce you to Karen Tappin-Saunderson, the founder of Karen’s Body Beautiful and this week's "Mischo Beauty Superstar". The Karen's Body Beautiful collection (hair and body products) was launched in 2004 and now is available via the chic boutique (located in Brooklyn, NY) and online at karensbodybeautiful.com.

Not only are these products natural and good for you (they're free of parabens, sulfates and mineral oil), but they're formulated with ingredients such as olive oil, jojoba oil, shea butter and apricot kernel oil which only results in needed moisture and nourishment. I've used a fabulous regimen consisting of the Ultimate Conditioning Shampoo, Complete Hair Conditioner, Sweet Ambrosia and Butter Love- and my Type 4 hair loved it (complete review coming soon)!

To learn more, check out Karen's website, join her Facebook page and follow her on Twitter. And, most importantly, be sure to let me know if you've tried her products. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
