Elliston Vineyards | Sunol, California














"All I knew at that time is that we were basically sisters. We spent most of our summers in the swimming pool pretending to be mermaids- we always fought over who got to be Ariel. We would catch crawdads, sneak into the drive-in movie theater, spend lots of our days at the flea market, and our diets typically consisted of Taco Bell, McDonald's, and Stromboli from Tony DiMaggio's - if you haven't had the Stromboli, do yourself a favor and go get some. After learning how to rollerblade we would act like we were Disney on Ice - most of the time the theme was Lion King and we thought we were the hottest kids to hit the neighborhood..."
That was a portion of my speech for my best friend/sister's wedding (we have known each other since birth), and let me tell you that she married a W O N D E R F U L Man! Surrounded by a vineyard and a mansion, Alisha and Andrew's wedding was an absolute fairytale. Romance, love, laughter and happy tears filled the air that day at Elliston Vineyards in Sunol, California, and I can honestly say that we would all be so lucky to experience a love like theirs.
Congratulations to my dear friend, Alisha and her husband, Andrew! I love you!

Joseph DiMaggio | Master Session Ambassador | Davines North America
After signing up for a hands on styling class, I really had no idea what I would be learning or experiencing. Little did I know that on Sunday, April 12, 2015, that I would be exactly where I need to be. Joseph DiMaggio is a Master Session Ambassador for Davines North America. He resides in New York City, where you will find him working behind the scenes of New York Fashion Week. He has worked with top designers for photo shoots and has been published in numerous magazines. Joseph travels domestically and internationally teaching his amazing techniques in styling and cutting. Not only is he a phenomenal stylist, but he also has an engineering background. Joseph's knowledge is out of this world and it will truly blow your mind. To top it off, he is sincere, genuine, kind, focused, and is absolutely passionate about hair and encouraging people to follow their passion with this business. All around, he is a solid dude. I can not say enough positive things about this man. His personal motto and philosophy, "Live and do everything with intent." A man after my own heart.
Joseph brought an assistant with him, Patrick G. Nadeau, a freelance hairdresser and educator from Montreal. Like Joseph, Patrick has been published and works behind the scenes of Fashion Week. His natural knack for styling and educating is obvious with how he works in partnership with Joseph.
Together, they make a powerful team. It's a beautiful thing when educating comes as easy and flawless as it does for these two.
Overall, my experience with these talented men was amazing. They have broadened my knowledge to styling beautiful and healthy hair. I gained new techniques for runway styles that are wearable for everyday and I now have added skills for in salon styling as well as styling for weddings, fashion and photo shoots.
Thank you Joseph and Patrick for your amazing education. This was definitely the best hands on class I have ever experienced and It will truly help to further my career.
