SPOTLIGHT ON Celebrity Hair Tips from Lisa Marie Owens Hair Salon

This Week I had the pleasure of styling Teresa Giudice from Real Housewives New Jersey. Teresa has beautiful long hair but being in the spotlight she told me that she has been using heat styling tools almost every day. This has made her hair a little less shiny and feeling dry. I recommended to Teresa and at Lisa Marie Owens Salon we recommend to anyone who is using heat styling tools on an everyday basis is to ask your stylist about a conditioning mask that you can do at home once a week and at the salon always get a conditioning treatment.

My favorite treatments that I recommend at Lisa Marie Owens Hair Salon are:

• L’Oreal Huile Richesse
• Pre-Shampoo Oil
• In-Salon Treatment
• Power-Dose Treatment After Shampoo

IN SALON or TAKE HOME

• Neuma Moisture Intensive Mask

One artist, who will show her paintings through the ArtiGras Homegrown artist program, is Devin Howell. Devin is one of 13 artists from the Palm Beach area who are exhibiting in an outdoor art festival for the first time. These homegrown artists have been through a vigorous training program with ArtiGras event staff and other art experts over the past six months.  

“I’m really excited about being selected as a homegrown artist and having the opportunity to show at ArtiGras,” said Howell, whose paintings were featured as part of the ArtiGras Patron Society package. “It is a dream come true and for new artists this program really empowers and gives us the tools to succeed after the show.”

Festival hours are 10:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, February 18; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, February 19; and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, February 20.

SPOTLIGHT ON
Jazz Music Event Miami

Elliott Sharp is an American composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer and curator central to the experimental music scene in New York City for over thirty years.

Critics have hailed Elliott Sharp as one of American music's lesser-known geniuses, a guitarist and composer who works both within and at the fringes of NYC's avant-jazz and experimental rock music scenes. Sharp has collaborated with musicians ranging from jazzman Jack deJohnette to rocker Debbie Harry to the Kronos String Quartet.

"Explosively rhythmic power ...one of downtown's most important artists ...one of the scene's most fertile composers" - The New York Times

"A jubilant slam dance on the fault line between order and disorder...acid wit and high spirits, tapping energy from psychedelic rock, free improvisation, hardcore, speed metal, 'out' jazz, and blues." - Guitar Player

"Describing what Elliott Sharp sounds like is like describing what air looks like." - Bill Meredith, JazzBluesFlorida.com

SPOTLIGHT ON Art Supply Drive

Organized by artist Linda Manganaro, Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery celebrated the holiday season by collecting a wide variety of art supplies for the children of a Lake Worth Public Elementary School.

Visitors to the gallery returned again and again with a wide variety of art materials that children could turn into wonderful arts creations.  Many brought brand new supplies while others emptied out years of accumulated, but still usable, assortments of paints, brushes, glitters and yarns. The gallery matched all donations with brand new art supplies and materials.

On Monday, South Grade Elementary School arrived to collect their loot.  School Counselor Javier Ortolanza and Community Resource Liason, Rebecca Hinso filled their van to capacity with supplies for art teacher Rebecca Hinson. South Grade Elementary is located at 716 S. K Street in Lake Worth.  Mike Riley is the Principal.
