If the mere thought of wearing color has you breaking out in hives or raises your blood pressure then we need to talk. Maybe you should chant the words “color isn’t evil” 100 times daily to help you break free of your ‘black only’ wardrobe and neutral nail & lip palette.

I’m just a girl with a few thoughts about this years Grammy Awards Red Carpet arrivals…

Rihanna rocked a simple black Giorgio Armani dress that dipped and dived in all of the right places and no nip-slips to speak of…

It happens to the best of us. Some days we want to greet the world with a full face of makeup, and other days we could care less about combing our hair or grooming our eyebrows. Luckily there’s no rule that says we have to be made up at all times, but beware, HKI views putting no effort into your look at all as an act of pure blasphemy!

Hair color has the power to make us sad, happy, match how adventurous we’re feeling or make us feel demure & sexy.
