I’m a glass is half full person. One of my biggest challenges as a businessperson is that I tend to always look for the good in every situation. While that’s a great trait for a Ms. Goody Two Shoes, it has gotten me into trouble throughout the years, when my trust has been shattered.

A few days ago I was at a very large grocery store waiting in the checkout lane. A customer in front of me was complaining loudly to the poor checker that she had recently bought a box of cookies (at that store) and she did “not enjoy” the taste but the store would not give her a full refund.

Every fashionista enjoys watching the high-paced energy of the runways: the glamour, the designs, the music pumping as the pure essence of couture heads your way one after the other. But actually achieving the look of the runway women, becomes another story – as most of us aren’t model thin or model tall for that matter.

Thank goodness for EVITA PERONI®, their accessories have always been home-runs in the fashion department, but their latest collection has taken couture to the next level.

The perpetually blonde and beautiful Kate Hudson has hit the promotional trail for the new hair care line developed with her celebrity hairdresser David Babaii.

When pressed about her new relationship with Lance the bubbly actress told Ryan Seacrest “talking about a relationship only causes more problems and more words taken out of context. Everything is always misconstrued”.

Yes, you read that correctly. In the opening weekend the Sex And The City girls rocked the box office coming at 55 Million+. All right! Woman Power rules.

Ironically, the $$$$ even blew away all the expectations of the film’s producers who were hoping for 30 Million.

Spoiler Alert - If you haven’t seem the movie yet…you may not want to read any futher…although I promise to try and keep any spoiler to a minimum.

Yes, I was there. One of the hordes of women sprinkled with a few men, who showed up for the very first showing of the SATC movie. The first time available was 10:15 and there I was waiting patiently in line to buy my ticket at 10:00 am sharp.

By 10:10 I was in the very packed theater (Friday at 10:00 am and the theater is packed? Can you only imagine as the day goes on what the crowds will be like?) waiting patiently for sooooooo many previews to finish playing.

Besides by being the CEO of HairBoutique.com (and T&S Software - a sister software company), I also wear additional hats as the long time Consumer Hair Editor for MultiMedia, Inc., which produces a large number of consumer hair and beauty focused magazines. Besides having a monthly hair advice column (Ask The Hair Doctor) in two of the magazines - 101 Celebrity Hairstyles as well as Short Cuts Magazine - I often do exclusive interviews with celebrity hairdressers.

Yeah, I know it’s definitely dorky of me, but when its comes to Reality TV, I usually watch specific shows to check out the hairstyles, fashions and overall beauty trends. The Hills is an important reality TV show to plug into.

Even the Editor In Chief (EIC) of US Magazine commented on the fashion trend significance of the Hills character.

Why? Not only are the four female stars considered to be style and trend setting icons (whether you like it or not), they speak for their generation.

I would love to be able to have the time to watch several other reality shows but my schedule just doesn’t really me afford me the luxury of watching Dancing With The Stars, Survivor or American Idol.

With those shows, I lurk on the fringe to try and figure out any hair, fashion or beauty trends of note. All of the shows do have hair news that should be covered and I do my best.

Millions of viewers watched DeAnna Pappas, 26, suffer through a painful, last-minute rejection by Brad Womack on the last season of ABC’s “The Bachelor” - earning her the sympathy of women everywhere.

Now DeAnna will have the last laugh, as the tables are turned and she gets to choose from among 25 bachelors in her own bid for true love, when the fourth edition of “The Bachelorette” airs on ABC, starting May 19.

The brunette, brown-eyed real estate agent from Newnan, Georgia, became an immediate fan favorite and was the final woman remaining on the finale of “The Bachelor” last November. The ending proved to be a huge shocker, though, when Womack didn’t select any woman - a first in “Bachelor” history. She found out she was tapped to star as the next “Bachelorette” on an episode of “Ellen” that aired in January of this year.

Imagine how thrilled I was when I saw that Marissa Shipman’s BalmsAway Eye Makeup Break-up was featured in the Look What We Found section of the June 2008 O - The Oprah Magazine. Yes, I know. HairBoutique.com is about…well…hair.

But being a girly girl, I love everything that goes with hair including cool lip balms, eye makeup, fragrances, accessories….you know the gig.

Yes, I am obsessed with hair but it seems a crime to have awesome hair and blah eyes. If you have great hair, great eye make-up and fab earrings, it seems a shame to have a paleface, no lip gloss and a blah outfit. You see where this is all going? Yes, indeed.
