Salon Secrets Exposed

So today in school, we watched this Video "Salon Secrets Exposed". It was only then I realize all the illegal & unsafe practices used in the video were the same practices used in most of Hawaii's Nail Salons. There was no doubt I had to share this information with you all. Pls Share this information with loved ones and friends before it's too late!

Remi was born on August 28th, 1989, in Okinawa, Japan. She had always been drawing since the age of 5, as she watched her mother painting by her side. At the age of 13, Remi moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, along with her parents, and lived there for over 4 years. Still then, her art teachers in high school were amazed by her talent. Going through difficulty of learning English language, she had faced many different types of trials in her life time. But she realizes that ART could break the wall of "language" barrier. Because of the talent that God has given to her, she is not anymore afraid to face many challenges. Now she is based in Oahu, Hawaii, living a wonderful life in paradise!

Pancho Abalos has been doing art since he was able to pick up a crayon. His art is rooted in his love for cartoons, hip-hop and graffiti with his earliest influences being cartoons like Transformers, Robotech and GI Joe. He began sketching what he saw on TV those early Saturday mornings. Pancho's art has since evolved to a modern contemporary style of urban art that has been described as vibrant, dynamic and intricate.

Pancho Abalos is influenced by his emotions and surroundings; family, friends, the graffiti and hip hop culture the environment that envelopes him. His love for creating characters evolved from the birth of his daughter, Alyssa. When she turned three, she fell madly in love with dinosaurs and that was when Pancho's character Dino Girl was introduced. It has since evolved into his tee-shirt and novelty line labeled Artist Proof.

Pancho Abalos was born in Quezon City, Philippines, but has spent his formidable years growing up here in Kapolei and Ewa. After graduating from Campbell High School in 1997, he studied Graphic Design at Bob Jones University, in Greenville South Carolina.

He started doing art professionally in 2003 and has kept going ever since in an effort to continue mastering his techniques. Pancho Abalos has done a significant number of Oahu exhibitions including live murals with the Ground Up Movement. He's shown in Los Angeles, the Philippines and have received several awards and honors in juried exhibitions in both Hawaii and California. He also did charity shows in New York, was a featured painter at the 2006 Festival of Philippine Arts & Culture, the 2007 and 2006 First Hawaiian Bank Auto Show for Scion of Hawaii, Remy’s on Temple in LA’s Historic Filipino Town, the 2006 Windward Artist’s Guild Annual Juried show at the Ho’omaluhia Botanical Gardens and several night clubs around LA and Orange County. Pancho Abalos also collaborated with many well-known artist of the urban art genre such as Alfie Numeric and Dave Araquel of Beatrock clothing. Art is his lifelong passion.

10.18.09: Susan G. Komen " Race for the Cure"

A dear friend of mines has a family history of women who had breast cancer, so I really wanted to participate when she told me about the Susan G. Komen "Race for a Cure" Walk/Run. Though our team was only 8 members, we hope to inspire all women to participate and give a great cause. Our fabulous team met up around 6am, dressed in comfort and style! I want to thank American T-Shirt for putting PINK Shirts ON SALE! I want to thank Micha at PROLIFIK, for sponsoring our t-shirt printing. The shirts came out sick! But most of all I want to thank all the lovely ladies who participated: Reoni, Danielle, Chelsey, Victoria, Joselyn, Morae, & Alyssa. You can still make a donation at the Susan G. Komen website. Hope to see you'll next year!


iKandy Team walking to support the Hawaii Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure because WE want to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer, and you can too!
