When I was about 10 years old, I received my first curling iron and I was hooked on the concept of having curly hair. It's not that I hate my straight hair, but I loved how soft waves added a little something special to my everyday look. Even at a young age, I realized the magic of curling hair. Now at the age of 24, I still hold on to that concept, which is why is pretty much why I curl my hair almost everyday. With that being said, I've pretty much mastered how to curl my hair and make it hold its shape all day long. I usually go with soft waves versus tight Shirley Temple curls. I love soft luscious curls that have slight volume and don't look too done. With countless compliments and questions on how exactly I do my hair, I decided to create this hair curling tutorial for you all...

One lady who took that class with me was my friend, Habebah...
Read MoreOne of the best things about going to an art school is that I get to meet many people with many talents. One type of art that has a strong hold on my attention is graphic design and the world of typography. My boyfriend and some of my friends are graphic designers and all of them do amazing work!

Read MoreWhat I love most about Vegas (aside from all the food and shopping) is the people and art culture. Most people think that Las Vegas is just the strip and that's it. However, this is a city thriving on people and their artistic passions.
