Here are some hair trends for Fall:

1. Natural and Effortless Looks: Low-maintenance hairstyles that embrace natural hair textures and require minimal styling may continue to be on-trend. People might opt for wash-and-go styles or subtle enhancements that enhance their natural beauty.
2. Warm Hair Colors: Warm and rich hair colors like caramel, copper, and auburn shades can complement the autumn season and add depth to hairstyles. Balayage and ombre techniques may still be popular for achieving a seamless blend of colors.
3. Curtain Bangs: Curtain bangs, which frame the face with soft, face-framing layers, have been trendy in recent years and might continue to be a sought-after look for Fall 2023.
4. Shaggy Layers: A modern take on the ’70s-inspired shag haircut might gain popularity, offering a versatile and textured look that works well for various hair lengths.
5. Hair Accessories: Hair accessories can add a playful and stylish element to any hairstyle. Headbands, barrettes, scarves, and hairpins may continue to be in vogue.
6. Short and Edgy Styles: Short haircuts with edgy elements like asymmetric cuts, bold color choices, and shaved designs could be popular for those looking to make a statement.
7. Sustainable Haircare: As eco-consciousness grows, more people might seek sustainable and eco-friendly hair care products and practices.

Rachel also shared what inspires her most when it comes to her business:

“Personally, when I see all the challenges that face the world today, I find hope in future generations.  Equipping children with a broad worldview and encouraging creative expression will go a long way in developing a more innovative future in which humans and the planet can thrive together.  My inspiration comes from the moment a child is proud of their artwork, the moment they ask a question and understand how they want to proceed, and every moment that a child is inspired to create.  That is why I have so much fun doing what I do and makes me feel like I have the best job in the world!”

Parachute Studio’s brick-and mortar-studio closed in December 2019, but Raychel has been operating the EcoArts program in elementary schools within the Poway School District. This summer, she will be partnering with La Jolla Recreation Center for summer camps. Summer camps will run for four weeks from June 21st to July 16th. Due to COVID-19 guidelines, students must book for the entire week, which presents the opportunity to revisit and add to the same art pieces day after day.

Regarding the upcoming summer camps, Raychel says, “I have always wanted to run a camp like this, and I’ve been so excited to offer these new activities.  We will work with lots of different supplies, like repurposed materials, oil pastels, acrylic, and watercolors.  The idea is to have a couple of outstanding art projects that the campers will be proud to display in their home, rather than a lot of small pieces that eventually get thrown away.”

These summer camps are a great way to engage with Parachute Studio. Check out the website, https://parachutearts.com, for more information on how to get involved and access video lessons for a variety of projects!

Following a La Jolla Village Merchants Association Marketing meeting part of the team headed to We Olive,  a favorite spot for a very romantic glass of wine and lite bites; not to mention one of the best olive oil tasting rooms anywhere.  The fun of our outing was getting creative to mix and match unique olive oils with equally unique balsamic vinegar.  Our favorite was the jalapeno oil with the pineapple balsamic.  The flavor combination (yes, you can drink the stuff!) would be incredible on rice, fish or chicken.

Be sure to stop by for the complimentary tastings of all of We Olive’s California Extra Virgin Olive Oils, vinegars, and gourmet foods and leave yourself time to sip a glass of wine on their balcony with stunning ocean and coastal views.

Biking around La Jolla has always been popular with extreme cyclists for it’s hilly terrain rewarded by beautiful ocean views. Now with the rentals of electric bikes becoming more and more popular every outdoor enthusiast, of all ability levels, can enjoy the beautiful trails and site La Jolla and the surrounding area has to offer.

Biking Coastal La Jolla and North County

This 13-85 mile bike route is a challenging ocean view ride that begins at Mission Bay Park, extends through La Jolla, and continues past the many sprawling coastal communities of North County. You can travel along the ocean as short or as far as you like. For the diehard cyclists this tour can take you all the way to Oceanside and Camp Pendleton. On the way you will pass the UCSD campus, Torrey Pines State Reserve, and many of San Diego’s beautiful beaches.

For a More Casual Day

Take on the La Jolla Bike Route that goes from beautiful coast to beautiful homes to hidden dirt paths.

There’s no place in San Diego more romantic, with more natural beauty, with proximity to such a high quality of hotels. And while the weather may not be perfect, it’s about as close as you can find. The abundance of sunshine and year-round temperate climate give about as close to a promise to cooperate as you’ll get, taking one less worry off the bride and groom’s list.

Beach Weddings

Many couples looking for outdoor weddings with a view of the ocean go with one of La Jolla’s parks. The grand Ellen Browning Scripps Park, beachfront Kellogg Park, and the delicately beautiful Cuvier Park (“The Wedding Bowl”) are among San Diego’s most popular wedding locations. The La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club is also a great resource to help put together a magical ceremony right on the sand. Other couples opt to exchange vows at sunset at the less formal but intensely romantic Windansea Beach. Another favorite for a memorable oceanfront wedding: the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Hotels

You can relax knowing your out-of-town guests will be spoiled once they check in to their hotel. For added convenience, some couples host both the wedding and reception at the hotel as well. You’ll save some money too, but won’t feel like you cut any corners. Popular choices include La Valencia, La Jolla Cove Suites, and Grande Colonial.

Best Spot For Beginners:

La Jolla Shores. A basic beach break with reliable, predictable waves make this spot the most popular for surfers of all levels. Ample parking and surfing lessons from local surf schools available.

Best Beachbreak:

Black’s Beach. Considered by many to be San Diego’s best wave. Just be careful not to use up all your energy to get there; Black’s is only accessible by hiking down the cliff (with your surfboard) or the long walk from La Jolla Shores.

Most Exciting:

La Jolla Cove. You won’t often find surfable waves here but when you do, look out! Certain times each year, this break, just outside the protected area of The Cove, creates some of the largest waves in the area. The size and the rocks should scare beginners away and rightfully so, but make a great photo for those watching from shore.

Local’s Only:

Windansea. The secret is not just knowing where to go, but when. The variety of reef formations around the Windansea and Bird Rock areas, just south of downtown La Jolla, create conditions that are difficult to predict. The waves vary with the tides and best left to be surfed by advanced surfers who know them well.

An afternoon manicure-pedicure at one of our many nail salons would be a great way to transition from sandy beach to elegant night on the town. Or gather some friends and indulge any of our local wellness centers’ cleansing and detoxifying packages–you’ll feel rejuvenated from the inside out.

There are literally hundreds of spas and salons to choose from, catering to all ages, tastes and budgets, from individuals to couples to large groups–including wedding and bridal parties. Most spas offer gift certificates as well.

La Jolla Village is just a short hop to Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, where you’ll find some of the best hiking trails in San Diego. Lace up your shoes, pack some sunscreen and drinking water, and be sure to bring your camera.

Many easy hikes under 2 miles (Razor Point, Yucca Point, Guy Fleming Trail, Parry Grove) will take about an hour to explore and offer simply breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean all year long. Beach Trail and Broken Trail are hikes with beach access and will deposit you down to the sands of cliff-lined Black’s Beach. The hiking trails are lined with gorgeous sandstone, succulents and springtime wildflowers. As you are traversing your way along, keep a close watch on the horizon where you may be lucky enough to spot gray whales or bottle-nosed dolphins splashing in the water.

La Jolla Walking Trail

Closer to the Village, the La Jolla Coast Walk Trail runs from La Jolla Shores beach to La Jolla Cove. It is easy and quite scenic. Park along Coast Blvd. The trailhead for this hike is just north to the left of the Cave Store. If you prefer to head south, follow the sidewalk that wraps around Kellogg Park and head towards the Children’s Pool, which, despite its name, is not a blue chlorine-filled rectangle but gorgeous secluded beach. Keep an eye in the ocean for harbor seals!

The cove’s waters are part of the La Jolla Ecological Reserve, a 6,000-acre area of protected tidelands and marine life. As a result, the cove is teeming with undisturbed sea life. Fish of every color of the rainbow, lobster, seals and sharks inhabit the cove. You are guaranteed to have some memorable undersea encounters.

The cove is a safe depth of approximately 15-30 feet, and enjoyed by divers of all skill levels, day and night. The moderate water temperature and calm current make it a great spot for beginners. There is a changing area nearby with bathrooms, showers and telephones.
