	syn·er·gy 1. the working together of two things (color and cut, for example) to produce an effect greater than the sum of their individual effects 2. The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. Michelle, owner of Synergy Artistic Salon, strongly believes in and supports lifelong learning. The name was inspired by a lesson issued by an art instructor, in her college years. The topic of the lesson was “synergy”. Her passion for art and how it applies to culture, lifestyle, and the general human psyche caused her to reflect on how people working together in the name of art, form synergistic relationships. Synergy Artistic Salon incorporates the fluid relationship between art and collaboration. The teamwork environment, passion for the salon trade and enthusiasm in being part of a solution for clients make the salon truly own its name. www.synergyartisticsalon.com/story Synergy Artistic Salon 29970 SW Town Center Loop W., Suite E.

"In 1969 two forward thinking photographers recognized the need in print advertising for models who were not traditionally beautiful, and the Ugly idea was born. For almost 40 years this niche market has fueled Ugly's success and opened the doors for international expansion. In summer 2007 the Ugly brand landed in NY and provides advertisers with talent ranging from the bizarre to the beautiful, and everything in-between. Along with our already established roster and a steady stream of new faces, UGLY offers our clients an ever-changing opportunity to view talent from every walk of life." I really love what this company is about. I would totally be involved if I lived in New York City. Check them out at www.uglyny.com.

My Guilty Pleasures... Movie: Transformers. I know this move lacks in quality story line and well-developed characters, but I can’t help but love when the transformers battle each other! Music: Cheesy songs from the '90's like Barbie Girl, Mambo Number 5, Who Let The Dogs Out, Macarena.... Food: Pizza or mexican food. I could never say no to either of these. Habits: I put pajama pants on the second I get home. I write down everything I need to remember to do or even say to someone on sticky notes, so yes, there are a lot of sticky notes around. I have every episode of Friends pretty much memorized. I am addicted to chapstick.
