Citi Bike Is The New Blowout

Ride a Citi Bike every day—to my office, cross-town for after work drinks, to Brooklyn to visit my brother.

I’m all over it. I soon discovered that in addition to being my favored form of public transportation, riding a Citi Bike (or any bike) is also the perfect opportunity for a low-maintenance beauty person like myself to fake the look of “doing my hair.”

Here’s what I do: I wash and condition my hair, and then, while it’s still wet, I take a wide tooth comb and run it through. I have naturally curly hair, but if I comb it, the curls turn into waves. Then I twirl my hair (still wet) up into a bun and clip it. At this point, I let my hair dry naturally. Sometimes I do this at night, sometimes early in the morning. Once it’s dry (enough) I take it out of the bun and I use one product: Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray. I spray it over my head, pretty liberally, and then work it through with my fingers. I get on my bike, and let the ride do the rest. Sometimes it works better than others, it all depends on humidity and which way the wind blows. I find that east-to-west rides are the best for getting that full, vaguely permed—but not too ’80s—look that I love.

Viktorija

Pišem jer mi je to najjeftinija psihoterapija, jer me veseli druženja s vama, jer mi je dosadno na semaforu ili u redu za blagajnu, jer me netko raspizdio kome sam morala ili htjela prešutjeti…pišem jer je to moj način da izrazim svoje mišljenje ili stavove, koji bi me žuljali da ne izađu iz mene. Ime Viktorija Herak izabrala sam iz ljubavi i poštovanja prema svojoj baki, to je bilo njeno ime. Bila je sitna, plaha i dobrodušna. Znam, reći ćete da ja sve to nisam, ali svejedno…jako sam je voljela i ona je obilježila moje djetinjstvo. Upravo zato što je njen život bio u velikoj mjeri težak i nepravedan, željela sam da njeno ime i dalje živi. Svakako zapamtite da je život lijep, da ljubav ne boli, da je smijeh ljekovit!
