Recently, the staff of The Boutique at L'Atelier have been making some changes that we will only benefit from. We are reconstructing the boutique, improving our communication skills, and helping promote this wonderful piece of work. With the help of our new Probational Manager, Yosef Kalfon, I know that we can really make The Boutique not only successful, but exciting for our staff and the students at Taft High School.
Yosef is one of my really close friends, and I know that he is one of the hardest workers I've met. Not only that, but he is excited to work! He takes his job at The Boutique very seriously, and because he is employed at our local Levi's, he is able to bring his knowledge and Ideas into the workplace. I am very confidant in his work this semester and I know that with his contribution, along with the hard work of the staff, The Boutique will become even bigger than what it has been in the past.

Modelesque
Most kids dream of becoming a doctor, veterinarian, or a firefighter, but for Laura La Rue, this was not the case. She knew that becoming a model was something she longed for.
At the tender age of 14, she was signed with one of the top agencies in the US, Elite Model Management in 2007. Some of her very first jobs included American Apparel and a spread in Salon City magazine. Laura's agency eventually wanted her to move to Singapore to sign with Diva Models, which would give her great exposure. There she shot a Sony ad that ran on billboards and buses throughout Asia. One of her biggest accomplishments was strutting her stuff in Chanel's Spring/Summer 07' line, this would be her first runway show, and what an insane opportunity! From that point on Laura's exposure has drawn the attention of more agencies like LA and New York Models. Photographers such as David LaChapelle, Ninelle Efremova, Nate Jenson, and Jennifer Star. Designers like BeBe, Ed Hardy, Jeremy Scott, and has now been the muse for the up and coming designer David Alexander.
Laura is now currently living on her own in the heart of West Hollywood and continues to live out her true life fairy tale

Hair Care Tips
For me, having healthy hair is very important. It is a sign of youth, beauty, and fertility. I always dream of having thick, long, lushes hair, so I do as much as I can to help promote growth. These are some ways I keep my hair in shape.
Limit the use of hot tools. I iron and blow dry my hair about once or twice a month. If you are constantly applying heat to your tresses, it will cause your hair to weaken and damage. That causes split ends and dryness. Make sure to use low heat when using hot tools and remember to add a heat protecting serum before styling.
Nutrition! Having a diet rich in vitamin b, omega, and fish oils will help make your locks shine. Leafy, dark greens, fruits, and whole grains should be a part of your daily eats. Basically, when your diet is healthy, it shows through your hair and skin as well! I take a daily hair, skin, and nail vitamin which I bought at a Whole Foods. Don't forget to drink plenty of water!
Create your own hair mask! This is something that I absolutely love doing. I make all types of masks including honey & milk masks, avocado masks, and my personal favorite, the mayonnaise mask! This really works, it makes my hair ultra smooth and super shiny!
Like me, if you have biracial hair you should only wash it once a week with a moisturizing shampoo. Washing your hair everyday will cause it to dry out. This also applies for super curly or african hair. Never brush your hair dry! This will break your curls and cause your hair to frizz. Just stick to finger combing and brush it out when you wash it. Add a little conditioner in your hair to define your curls.
Lastly, you should get a trim every 6 to 8 weeks to loose the dead ends and prevent even more breakage.
By following these rules, you should have the hair you've always desired!
