However small or large, we all have goals to which we aspire.

I had found that my goals were becoming more beauty-centric. Now, before you write me off as vapid and narcissistic, let me clarify: I am in the midst of pushing myself out of a hair and beauty slump. And it is indeed a slump.

My makeup routine had dwindled to moisturizer, powder, blush and sometimes mascara if I was feeling extra decadent. As for my pin-straight mane, it had grown surprisingly long, the lack of a good layered cut weighing it down in all of its can't-hold-a-curl straightness. If I was feeling at a true loss, I would tie my locks up in a high ponytail (if I ever fooled you into thinking that I was going to the gym with said pony tail, then it's working).

Needless to say, I required a couple of quick makeup tricks and a blowout which could magically last me the rest of the year. My beauty routine needed the love and care of a celebrity glam squad—they're fast and efficient, not to mention a walking encyclopedia of which products actually work.

So when I was afforded the unique opportunity to stop by Caravan Stylist Studio, I took it as a sign from the beauty gods (Aphrodite? Cleopatra? Marilyn? Thanks, ladies).
