Spin the Wheel!!


Is anyone out there in color-limbo? Can't make a decision on the combination of your favorite hues? Well, try out the Color Wheel!

This great little tool will not only entertain you for hours (okay, maybe minutes) but it may help spark the creativity within you. Inspired by the traditional tool used by artists for many years, it combines different colors of the spectrum in order to see what makes an aesthetically pleasing palette.

Take a look at the combo we got our my spin! What do you think? We love it. What a burst of vibrant color!

Crazy... but True!


Ok everyone! We at BBWE enjoy everything beautiful, glamorous, and chic...but this one is a trend that we don't know how to feel about!

KVUE and Allure Magazine both recently did stories on a hot new beauty trend involving "doctor fish". Clients receive pedicures by having these little fish eat the dead skin from their haggered tootsies! Incredible!! Patrons swear that it is not only a unique sensation but also delivers great results.

Bella first saw this beauty trend on one of her favorite shows last season, Ugly Betty. As far as we know, there are no salons in the greater Austin area that offer this service. Is there anyone out there that has indulged in this treat (we use that term loosely)? Tell us your thoughts! We'd love to hear about it.
