**Sitting Down with the Sisters of *Tress It Up*!**

Santa Teresa's darling hairdressers sit for a chat and makeover.

Sisters Taylor Ferguson-Doyle and Kylie Ferguson-Howard are the hairdressers and co-owners of Tress It Up! beauty salon, and best-selling authors of "The Cutting Edge: How the Ferguson Sisters are tressing it up, one head at a time." Inspired by their mother, aunt and cousin, Taylor and Kylie followed their passion for hairdressing and opened Tress It Up! Salon in – you guessed it – Santa Teresa, an upscale neighborhood in the heart of Los Angeles.

The driven sisterly duo describe for us their world-famous beauty salon, favorite restaurants and District living:

What are your favorite things to do or places to go in DC?

Payton Chung
KKB: I have a daughter. I’m recently a new mom. So I love to do anything that’s kid friendly in the city. We actually live near Roosevelt Island and we love to walk around the island. It’s very beautiful. And I love going shopping, obviously, for baby clothes and baby toys. Dawn Price Baby is a local DC business. They have the cutest things for children in there. The Georgetown Waterfront is gorgeous, too, especially with the fountains and the park. I love to bring my daughter there.
SKL: And just the design, I love Cady’s Alley here. There is so much character to it. There are very few other neighborhoods in the country, really, that have this kind of character. There’s just something about the alley and the cobblestone. It makes the neighborhood very walkable and it’s very family friendly. It’s a great place to spend a leisurely Sunday or Saturday afternoon.
What are your top three restaurants for a pre-cupcake meal?

Ristorante Tosca
KKB: We have a favorite restaurant near Logan Circle.
SKL: Le Diplomate. It’s very good.
KKB: I think if you want to go a little fancier, I would say Ristorante Tosca. It’s very good Italian food.
SKL: We like Good Stuff Eatery.
KKB: Oh yeah. I’m so glad they opened in Georgetown because when I was pregnant with my daughter, I made my father drive me in rush hour traffic, from Georgetown all the way to their Capitol Hill location to get a toasted marshmallow milkshake. It’s the best. It’s worth the splurge. And if you don’t want something too fancy but something a little bit nice, I like Peacock Cafe in Georgetown.
SKL: Yes. We love brunch. That’s our favorite. We love their mint lemonade.
KKB: Oh yeah the mint lemonade at Peacock is really good. They blend the mint leaves into the lemonade. It’s delicious. Oh one more: the one thing that we are obsessed about is the kale salad at Kafe Leopold. It’s one of our favorites. Sometimes we’ll just get it as an entrée.
What is the coolest experience you’ve had since opening Georgetown Cupcake?
KKB: I think for us, definitely hands-down, is being able to ship 10,000 cupcakes to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And it’s been one of the greatest things we’ve ever done and we’ve been able to give back in a way that I don’t think we really understood that we could.

Georgetown Cupcake
SKL: So every year we donate happily to our troops. It’s a special relationship we have with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs office and the USO. We love supporting our troops. Another highlight was having Sasha Obama’s birthday at our bakery.
KKB: Yes, she had her 10th birthday here and we baked cupcakes with her, her sister and her friends.
SKL: They made them from scratch and frosted them themselves. So that was super fun. It’s just those kinds of experiences; being in Washington, DC you don’t know who’s going to walk into your door.
KKB: It is so true. I mean when we’re walking across Key Bridge to come to work every day, we’ll see Marine One (the presidential helicopter), just fly overhead. You can’t get that in any other city. You really can’t.
SKL: And since being here, we’ve had everyone from U.S. Senators come in to Stevie Wonder to Kim Kardashian. It’s just amazing the kind of people that come through the door here. Martha Stewart visited—
KKB: We did her show twice, and she came in asking for us, but we weren’t here. We were in New York. But she ordered a mocha and coconut and took pictures with our staff.
What is the all-time coolest cupcake that you’ve ever created?
KKB: I would say, for me personally... was when Sophie made the lavender earl grey teacake for my bridal shower. I drink lavender earl grey tea every morning. And so she developed a recipe. She got lavender sugar from France. And it turns the cake into this beautiful pistachio green color, and the lavender frosting. It’s to die for. And now it’s on our menu every April/May.
What do you think is cool about Washington, DC?
KKB: I think what’s cool about Washington, DC is that you are in the most powerful and historic city in the world and – it is home.
SKL: When you drive by the White House and you see the monuments—
KKB: Or a motorcade going by, you pinch yourself and you’re like, “Wow, I live here!”
SKL: It really is a cool city. It’s like history in the making- in your backyard.
KKB: It is pretty crazy, because when we first started Georgetown Cupcake, we would never think that we would have Sasha Obama in the bakery baking with us. We would never think that we would meet the vice president. It’s an amazing place to live because you just never know who you’re going to meet here.
KKB: I‘m a huge fan of DC.
SKL: We’re very proud of being from DC.
After you get your sugar fix at Georgetown Cupcake, discover what else there is to see and do in the neighborhood.

Meet Elle & Blair Fowler, two sisters living in Los Angeles that have become somewhat like beauty consultants through their videos on YouTube. These enthusiastic sisters have a love and passion for the beauty industry that goes beyond appearances.
Check out the exclusive interview below for more details:

EY: Where in the US are you girls from?
Right now we live in Los Angeles, CA, but we were born and raised in the south.
EY: What inspired you to upload YouTube videos about beauty?
We were bored one summer and spent all of our time researching anything fashion or beauty on the internet. We came across the beauty community on YouTube and became so intrigued with it! We had friends who wore makeup and cared about their appearance, but none who really understood our love and passion for the industry. When we found the beauty community, it was like finding a group of people who loved what you loved. It was a group of built-in friends! We decided we should do our own videos, and that was probably the best decision we ever made.
EY: Did you receive any form of training before?
Nope! Our mom had taught us some things, and when we would go to the makeup counters we would ask more questions than the typical girl. We just wanted to learn everything we could and soak it all in. But no, we never had any professional training.

EY: You both showcase a lot of positivity in your videos, where does that motivation come from?
I guess we’re just happy people! We’ve had a very fortunate life and we don’t take that for granted. We both realize that we should try our best to go through life happy, because this is the only one we get, so we’ve got to make it count!
EY: Were you expecting to receive that much feedback, and have you received any opportunities after releasing your videos?
Of course not! When we got our first views we were flabbergasted! We were just two girls in our bedrooms doing videos about how to put on eyeshadow. We had no idea what kind of response we would get, let alone how amazing the response would be. We have received some awesome opportunities because of it, like we’ve both been showcased in some magazines, and we’ve gotten to work with some of our favorite brands like Sears and Marshalls. We’re very happy with where this has taken us.
EY: Elle, what is your major in college, and how did it feel working at Seventeen Magazine as an intern?
My major in college was Communications with an emphasis on law. Originally I was pre-law before I got into YouTube, but then I fell in love with the beauty industry and decided that’s where I wanted to be. I loved working at Seventeen Magazine as an intern. It was the best internship I could have asked for, and helped make for an amazing summer in NYC.

EY: You both stated that you make videos for fun but have you considered pursuing a career in it as well?
As of now it’s something that we really just enjoy doing, and if people keep watching our videos… we’ll keep putting them up!
EY: Blair, what are your plans after finishing high school?
College, definitely. Right now I’m looking at a few different ones around the LA area. But I’m going to keep up with my YouTube channel as well. It will be a little bit of a struggle, but I can do it.
EY: Have you ever made videos about fashion?
Yes! We do lots of fashion hauls as well as videos like “top 3 fall trends.” Fashion is more away from our comfort zone than beauty, but it’s an aspect of the industry we’re interested in and are trying to incorporate it more into our channels.

EY: Why did you both start another channel and how do they differ from each other?
We both have our second channels or “vlog” channels because we wanted a place where we could put up random videos that didn’t have anything to do with beauty or fashion. We love sitting down in front of our camera and just talking about our day, but we felt we needed another outlet to put those up on. Volia! Another channel was born.

EY: Provide us with five beauty products that girls should always have in their purses?
Lip Gloss, Concealer, Powder, Eyeliner & Mascara.

EY: What’s next for you ladies?
As of now, we’re just going to keep doing what we’re doing and see where it can take us!

***Tress It Up! author Maryam Wells says baby loss story for Darcy Payne was one of her hardest storylines to write.***

"I've given many of my book characters issued-heavy subjects that mirrored reality, but I'd say this storyline still gets to me."

Tress It Up! author Maryam Wells has reflected on book character Darcy Payne's "heartbreaking" baby loss storyline, explaining that she found Darcy's payne-ful loss plot one of the hardest storylines she's ever written in the series.

Darcy Payne, a senior hair stylist at Tress It Up! Salon in the popular spin-off of L.A. Hair Goddess, was featured in a big storyline throughout the 7th arc of the series, as Darcy and her paramedic husband, Kevin learned that their unborn son, their second child, had bilateral renal agenesis and wouldn't survive long after his birth.

The storyline saw the couple agree to see the pregnancy to full term, and the couple later welcomed their baby son and spent the precious little time they could with him before his tragic death.

Wells reflected on the storyline during her book tour and admitted that picking Darcy to do this storyline wasn't easy.
"I told my publisher that I had a serious storyline for Darcy for the seventh arc. Darcy going to get pregnant with her second child and then explained the whole situation that her baby wouldn't survive," she recalled.

"It wasn't an easy decision to write the story and it wasn't easy to have Darcy as the center of it. I've given many of my book characters issued-heavy subjects that mirrored reality, but I'd say this storyline still gets to me."

***Upcoming Tress It Up! book reveals heartbreaking baby news for Darcy Payne***

One of Tress It Up! star stylists has been told that her unborn second child can't survive.

The upcoming book episode of the popular novel series, *Tress It Up*! has revealed Darcy Payne's tragic baby news in this latest episode.

Emotional scenes saw pregnant Darcy and her paramedic husband, Kevin left devastated as they went for a scan at their doctor's appointment and were told that their unborn second child had major problems with his development.

Darcy's baby boy was given a preliminary diagnosis of bilateral renal agenesis, a rare condition which occurs when kidneys fail to develop in a fetus.

In emotional scenes after the Darcy's OBG-YN discovered something in the ultrasound, called for a second opinion, the doctor told the expectant couple: "We should be seeing the baby's kidneys showing up at this stage. Unfortunately the kidneys and the bladder have failed to develop. I gotta be honest with you both. When both kidneys fail to develop normally, there's a lack of amniotic fluid which can lead to undeveloped lungs.

"I'm gonna run more tests, but if it's confirmed, your son may have Bilateral Renal Agenesis. Meaning, we have no way to treat this condition. Darcy, Kevin, I'm really sorry. But... without fully developed lungs and kidneys, your son won't survive."

This is one of *Tress It Up*! most devastating storylines to date.

When Darcy and Kevin were left alone in the room, the two were left in tears with the possibility that they were going to lose their son in a tragic way.
