Love the way the website allows for searches... 88 MADISON AVE. Suite 128 VALERIE STAR-Makeup/Hair/Nail-at Caravan Stylist Studio -showed off her Jean-Michel Basquiat inspired nails... we chose this---use white nail polish over base coat-let dry a bit-then drop two other colors on nail beds-two per-separately...then take a cuticle stick to smudge them around-for a swirling water color effect.

SANDAL SNEAKERS: AIR FLIGHT HUARACHE+AIR TRAINER HUARACHE

Nike Sportswear reintroduces two trailblazing models honoring the progressive Huarache design. Like  Nike Flyknit ,  Nike Flywire , and  Nike Air  technologies, the Nike Huarache platform was born in performance running and swiftly applied to other sport categories.

In 1992, Tinker Hatfield and a young Eric Avar put their heads together to repurpose radical innovation to fit the needs of hoopers everywhere.

IMO physical blocks that are applied and hang out on the surface (not absorbed into the skin) made of - Titanium Dioxide and/or - Zinc Oxide  are the best…and the only thing we use on our face….and most of the time-on the neck down skin too. The longest lasting, physical block sunblocks are tough to wash off- we find it survives multi-hour races- so that is the point. Plus, when we sweat up a storm, physical non-micronized sunblocks don't sting our eyes…for real vs. chemical sunscreen claims of being non-irritating. Not so for us and we have tried about 4 big name sunscreens made of chemical ingredients that penetrate the skin ---that not only annoy
