Meet Libby Langdon!

November 12, 2009

Howdy, I’m Libby – thanks for checking out my blog! I love being an interior designer, and there’s nothing better than being able to share my tips and décor ideas with you all so I’m super excited to be one of Rachael’s buddies. The first thing everyone asks me when they find out I work with Rachael is, “Is she really as nice as she seems on TV?” The answer is YES! She rocks and I’ve loved getting to know her and her awesome crew at the show.

I live in New York, where we tape, but I’m lucky enough to do design jobs all over the country. I’ve designed homes, restaurants, a clothing store, a golf shop and even a small stone cottage on a vineyard in Italy! Small space design, like what I do on HGTV’s Small Space Big Style, is a specialty of mine and I’ve written my first book, Libby Langdon’s Small Space Solutions. I try to help people think outside the box even if they are living in one! There are so many innovative, inexpensive and easy ways to create a beautiful home that looks and feels larger, is functional, fabulous, and somewhere you’ll love to spend time. I’m going to keep you updated on cool trends, hot looks and cozy ideas for your spaces so keep checking back here to find out what’s coming up on the show. I’ll be the first to tell you right now that on Monday 11/16 I’ll be showing you how to make your holiday table look fabulous without spending a fortune so don’t miss that.

Glad to meet you, and stay tuned for more …

Mally on Motherhood

November 4, 2009

There's truly nothing like being pregnant and certainly nothing like experiencing the birth of your baby -- it is absolutely the most life-changing experience that any woman can go through. I know first-hand because I have beautiful twins who are almost 3, Pilar and Sophie, and am now in my eighth month of pregnancy with my third girl! I am so excited about the 'New Mom Makeovers' airing 11/5 because I feel strongly about new moms needing a little bit of pampering ' especially in the maternity ward, which is where I'm headed! When you become a mommy, all of a sudden your perspective changes; those little things that seemed to matter so much instantly seem so silly. It's like you never knew your heart could feel so much love. In my case, I have never been more in love with my husband, watching him as he lovingly cares for his daughters. But none of us has to be so selfless that we forget to take a second or two for ourselves. It will make you a better woman and a better Mommy! So why not start in the maternity ward?

Love Love Love,

Mally


Meet Kyan Douglas!

Hey everyone! Maybe you've seen me on the show sharing style tips for guys who weren't sure if they could pull off the latest trends, giving a whole new look to a woman whose hair had not been cut in decades, or going head to head with Gretta with our best beauty secrets in Rachael's Ultimate Tip-Off! Being one of Rachael's style buddies is so much fun and there's much more ahead, but first I wanted to tell you a bit more about myself and why I love what I do.

My training includes skin care, hair care, massage and yoga specialties, but I never planned to be on TV. I was working for a hair salon in New York City when one of our clients called me up and said, 'My friend is casting this show called Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and they need a guy who knows about grooming. Get me your resume and your headshot and I'll pass it along.' I thought, 'I don't have a headshot - I'm a hairdresser!' So I literally sent a Polaroid and wrote out a brief outline of my training, and went in for an audition without any idea of what to expect. After three auditions, they hired me!

For me, helping people update their look is about so much more than just the makeover. I really think that beauty is a vehicle through which people can become more of who they are. Something as simple as a makeover can help you change things on the inside; that for me is the power of beauty! That is my passion, and it's one Rachael is letting me share with you by being on the show! Along the way, I'm also going to offer up insider tips, so when you go for that next haircut you'll know the language that hairdressers speak and will be able to get much better results. For starters, check out my segment on the most versatile haircut with a look you can wear five ways and I've got more tips backstage for you right here! Who do you want to become today?

Meet Nick Lachey!

October 28, 2009

Hi everybody! You may remember me best from my days performing with the boy band 98 Degrees, and since then life has been full of surprises including a solo career and a really cool new reverse auction website I've founded called Winnit.com. Most recently, I've been putting the finishing touches on my next album "Coming Up For Air" and will be hanging with Rachael on her show as often as she'll have me! Rachael is spunky and has a great spirit - it's just the kind of energy I love to be around. There may be things that can get you down every now and then, but we can all laugh and enjoy life for at least an hour out of the day! I have lots of adventures coming up and promise to share them with you ... I'm up for anything as long as I get to be myself and have fun with you guys. So check back here for updates and backstage videos, including this one where I'm transformed into the king of rock 'n roll for Halloween!

Meet Mally Roncal!

October 16, 2009

Hey y'all! I'm sooo excited to be blogging here! I'll be giving you a preview of upcoming show segments, answering your questions, sharing beauty tips, and basically doing anything I can to teach and inspire you because you deserve it, My Loves!! In case you don't know me, I first wanted to give you a little info about who I am and where I come from. I am a celebrity makeup artist, mom to twin girls (with a third girl on the way), and I run an amazing beauty biz (more about that another time). But that wasn't always my path. I was originally following in my parents' footsteps by studying to be a doctor, until I felt compelled to pursue my creative side. My passion led me to eventually spend more than 15 years touring the globe and doing makeup for some of the most gorgeous and talented women in the world (Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez).

I feel so lucky that Rachael has given me the opportunity to touch all of you by being on her show. (You can check out all of my tips and makeovers here!) Like you, I adore Rachael and the way she approaches life. I feel a strong connection to her and feel so blessed that she has become my friend! It's been an amazing, fulfilling and emotional journey because I really believe that beauty is not superficial. How we look on the outside can truly reflect how we're feeling on the inside. We have done so many awesome segments together already that I hope have shown that you deserve only the best for yourself!
