NEXTonSCENE Jeff Jean Photography We had the fabulous pleasure of working with Jeff Jean at our annual fashion show this spring! Here is a little background on why you should HIRE him for your next event or model shoot! Jeff Jean Photography is a professional studio with a concentration in fashion, editorial, advertising, and beauty. Jeff helps create images that represent his client and their brand with a highend commercial look. His clients say his images have a very clean and magazine style feel to them. He's most proud when his work exceeds his client’s expectations. Knowing that his clients received more than they expected feeds his soul. Jeff is looking to work with brands and retailers to help them reach their target audience in the best visual way possible. Boston has a growing Blogger / Influencer network and he enjoys supporting their business as well.
Jeff's also teaches photography classes and his goal is to bridge the gap between the vision and the final image produced. Shortening the learning curve for the photographer can increase the overall pleasure of shooting as they gain confidence in knowing what and how to get the job done.

hairstylist selina Sigaran SPRING FASHIONS SHOW HIGHLIGHT INTERVIEW Selina had the fabulous opportunity to showcase in our fashion show this spring so we wanted to give her the fabulous opportunity to showcase!
Who is someone you admire in the hair world and why? What inspired you to get into the work of hair? Â " I've always been drawn to the Beauty Industry naturally at a young age. My Aunt Viv and Uncle Will recognized my talent and had a serious conversation with me to give it a shot. I finally gave in and one day, I dropped out of college my senior year and signed up for Beauty School. I was working as a receptionist at James Joseph Salon Newbury St at the time. "
"I am surrounded by many talented artists, but I must say most of whom I admire are my coworkers."
Check out some BEHIND THE SCENES AT SELINA this fashion show and people she styled!
What is your fave summer go to look for hair? "Natural! There's finally a time that people are starting to embrace one's natural texture, and why not make your routine a little easier by wearing it in its natural state."
First person and style you ever did? Â "My Aunt Viv! She lets me do whatever I want as long as she has someone playing with her hair."

Sam Robbins
Who is the fabulous musician who covered our fashion show? Sam Robbins! This up and coming rockstar is NEXTonSCENE to know about.
What inspired you to get into the world of music?
"When I was 16, I found myself losing interest in playing drums, which I thought was going to my career. I was a little lost, and that is when John Mayer's Born and Raised album came out. My parents had bought me Bob Dylan's Autobiography around the same time. As I was reading the autobiography and listening to the album, I decided I had to try and give the music world a shot. Since then, I shifted all of my focus on being a singer /songwriter, and it's led me to here!"
Tell us how you got started? "I played drums for a long time. I wanted to be a professional punk drummer!! I was in a punk band called The Zambia. From this, I learned a lot of valuable experience, on how to work with people, how to be in a band, and how to build community. My brother played guitar, and I Share with us one of your most slowly picked it up from him. I memorable experiences thus far think a part of me always wanted being so young and performing! to be a singer... and when I was 16 I wrote some songs and "My most memorable show was decided to record them and definitely this November, opening people liked it!" for BJ Thomas at the biggest venue in my hometown of Portsmouth, NH, The Music Hall. Its a 900 seat venue, and me and my band killed it. I was so nervous, but we ended up being a success and I sold a ton of CD's and gained a lot of new fans. It was incredible to play for my hometown at a venue where I had seen so many incredible artists over my whole life."
#GETINTOUCH with Sam samrobbinsmusic.com @SamRobbinsMusic What are some goals you have as a singer/songwriter? "My goals have changed and shifted since when I was younger! I think when I was younger, I just wanted to be famous. I wanted to be a celebrity! I wanted to play arenas and sell millions of records! Now obviously, this would still be a nice thing. However, I've really began to appreciate the connections made when I play to smaller groups. I love making personal connections with audiences, and this isn't really achievable at bigger venues. My goal overall is to have an audience that comes to shows, loves my music and are people that I can connect with." NEXTonSCENE

What do you enjoy in your spare time when you are not working. "I very rarely have a spare time because managing 3 jobs doesn’t leave me with a lot of free time.

ashley hayward We had the fabulous opportunity of working with Ashley on multiple projects and we wanted nothing more then to showcase how she got to where she is.
Currently, Ashley is a Web Developer and Media Producer for a company called GraVoc in Peabody, MA. GraVoc has been a thriving technology consultant firm for the last 24 years! There, Ashley manages their web development and design projects, all while doing what she does best: building relationships with clients! Ashley also assists with video production, including video editing when needed.
Prior to GraVoc, Ashley worked for the City of Everett for nearly four and a half years as the Director of the Everett Community Television and Communications Department. Needless to say, she has worked her way up to management level by the time she was 24 years old!
Ashley wore many hats in Everett. She ran major city events, handled their social media, video production, and even their graphic and web design. As she discusses how far she has come since a young age, her hope is to grasp your attention! She hopes to inspire you while reading this. Her hope is that you realize no matter what you set your mind to, no matter where you end up (whether it was a job you wanted or not), each stage in life is a lesson, and a step to the next opportunity. Being the first in her family to ever attend college, Ashley went to Merrimack College, where she obtained ....
exceptional experience interning at iHeart Media, WHDH Channel 7 News Boston and Cambridge Community Television. She then graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2013 with a B.A., in Communications. When Ashley was 8 years old, she had a head full of dreams, and pictured herself in the hopes that one day she would become a woman working in the TV and radio industry. While dreaming during that time, she would envision she had her own radio show; “The Ashley Costa Show,” and would record herself on her big black boom box. The result: several cassette tapes she can no longer find, and the realization that dreams can come true. . .

...Then, after moving on from lacrosse, I found working out really hard to fit into a college schedule. I wanted to help other girls who felt the same way, so I turned an episode of my university show, into a little 2-3 minute health and wellness segment. From there, I knew my love for fitness was real. I basically combined my two passions of TV hosting and fitness, and went with it!! It might have seemed obvious, though, as Who is this gorgeous gal blossoming in my mom, Denise Austin, was the the fitness world on social media ? epitome of those two things.

Tell us what inspired you to get into the fitness world? "It was never such an AHA moment as people may think because of who my mom is! But it took steps to get there. I was an athlete my whole life, as I grew up playing tennis and lacrosse, and then went on to get an athletic scholarship for lacrosse to USC. At the time, in college, I wasn't thinking about a career at all because lacrosse pretty much was my career my whole life. After a year and a half at USC, I noticed all of the cool entertainment classes, the hosting gigs, etc., and knew that TV was my passion. I landed a sports broadcasting role for two years at our university station, and absolutely loved it...
What’s is your TV guilty pleasure? "This Is Us and I never not cry!" What is your favorite summer meal!
"My favorite summer meal is..... does it have to be healthy? LOL! My favorite meal is a good burger and fries. With ALL the toppings.

NEXTonSCENE katie austin ONE ON ONE WITH KATIE AUSTIN Why "Get Fit With Katie"?
"While getting “fit” does mean getting you fit physically, it’s also about your mentality! Girls from all over the world struggle with their self-confidence, so know that you’re not alone. We get flooded with a constant media stream of perfect-looking, stunningly beautiful females on television, in magazines, and any time we’re online or on social media. From childhood, it’s natural to begin comparing our own bodies to those perfect figures — their curves, their slim thighs, their perfect hair. And that’s how we start hating our own bodies. Media and advertising know this, which is why they publish headlines like “Want a body like hers? Here’s how to get it.” This tactic is common and temporarily motivates people to exercise using self-hate and body-shaming. So it’s no wonder when the new regimen doesn’t stick. Fitness that lasts doesn’t start by hating your body or trying to become someone else’s photoshopped idea of a woman. Instead of obsessing over how other women look, look at yourself in the mirror. Focus on what you love about your body, and fill your mind with it. Unlearn the bad habit of comparing your body to someone else’s. Love you, and know that you’re beautiful right now, just as you are."

does this happen editorials of a karmA healer, leila laura Why does this keep happening to me? Why do I keep on attracting the same guy? Why do none of my relationships last longer than two years, if not three months? Why do I keep on attracting clients who don’t respect me? Why is my business not making any money?I don't understand.

If any of the above statements sound like they came out of your head you may need a Karma Healing. Karma is the totality of all of the experiences, actions and feelings from this and other lives. Every time you have an experience negative or positive, it collects energy. The more our ego identifies with the feelings, the more energy it has.

LOVE AND CRYSTALS editorials OF THE COSMIC SISTER, RAE FINN When I was a child one of my favorite past times was rock collecting. There was nothing more exciting than scanning the driveways, streets and beaches for the cool colored rocks and scoring a rock that looked like a gold nugget!!! What I didn’t know at that time was that all of the “rocks” I was collecting were actually HEALING crystals filled with energy….who knew? This was the discovery that lead me to study more deeply into Crystal Energy Healing. The process of using crystalline energy to heal and repair areas of imbalance and disease in our emotional and physical body. Crystals act as a channel of loving energy flow from heaven to earth. The healing properties vary from crystal to crystal are sometimes dependent on the color or it’s place of origin. For example, Amethyst, the color purple, is the go to crystal for it’s calming energy and is often used during meditation to help quiet the mind. Photo: Robin Terhune
If you are new to crystals. It can be overwhelming when choosing which ones will be of the most assistance to you. I always suggest to start with the seven crystals that represent your chakra energy centers (much like a rainbow), the centers that make up your emotional body that resides within your physical body. Each crystal helps to keep each center clear and balanced allowing us to feel more grounded, safe and loved. A good place to start: red-Bloodstone, orangeCarnelian, yellow-Citrine, green-Aventurine, light blueTurquoise, indigo-Lapis Lazuli and purple-Amethyst. If you are headed to the beach this Summer be sure and grab yourself some snowy quartz, this smooth beach crystal helps with balance of female/male energy…...it really brings rock collecting to a whole new level!

Natural Ways To Heal With Essential Oils Lessons by Laney
Essential Oils were used by only the highest royalty in Egypt. It was believed that if one used these oils, it would bring them closer to the “Gods”. I recently did some research on the positive health benefits (and delicious aromas) Essential Oils can have in everyday life and how they can play an important role in helping to increase relaxation, sleep, calmness, balance and tranquility. Essential Oils are organic compounds extracted from natural plants that have healing properties. They can be used in a myriad of ways from reducing cold and flu symptoms to relaxing tired muscles. Many health practitioners are incorporating more holistic remedies to their clients by introducing them to the benefits of Essential Oils. Lots of people suffer with symptoms of low level depression, anxiety, insomnia, reduced immunity from colds, minor aches and pains, overthinking, and multitasking to a point of utter exhaustion and feeling depleted.
Day-in and Day-out, these can cause increased stress on our mental and physical health and the long term results of “overdoing” can have long-standing consequences. Of course, your first order of business should be to visit with your doctor or mental health provider to rule out anything more serious. If all you need are some simple, yet powerful ways to reduce everyday stress, exercise, good nutrition and a good night’s sleep may be beneficial but you can incorporate an additional layer of self-care by using Essential Oils. Listed below is a brief introduction to some of the more popular Essential Oils that can benefit your health and overall mental functioning. (Just as a side note, do be sure to do your research and consult with a health practitioner to rule out any allergies you may have before using).
Feeling tired, restless and sleep deprived? Lavender, Frankincense,
and Chamomile may do the trick. By placing a few drops under your nasal passages ,on your pillow case, or adding them in a warm bath, these scents bring almost instant relaxation. Feeling worried or a bit anxious? Cedar wood or Geranium can have a calming effect.
If you tend to have low-
level feelings of anger or frustration: Arborvitae
and Patchouli can give you sense of encouragement and help to regulate emotions.
Want a quick pick me up and a quick boost of energy? Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Peppermint and Wild Orange Oils may do the trick.
Feeling a bit sad or down? Sandalwood and
Myrrh oils are often recommended to lighten your spirits.
Feel a cold coming on or having nasal congestion?
Eucalyptus and Tee Tree Oils can help clear up your sinuses and reduce those stuffy, unpleasant feelings. They also may help with muscle fatigue. There are hundreds of essential oils that can create health benefits for you. You can find Essential Oils easily accessible at many shops like Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, Health Food Stores and online.

nextonscene takes on hollywood nextonscene gets lalla bee to the daytime emmys!
Working in the PR world for several years, our founder had the fabulous opportunity to get lalla bee to dress and connect with Daytime Emmy stars/producers. At the end of April , our founder Jaclyn and lalla bee Designer Melina Cortes took a thirtysix hour tour cross-country to Los Angeles! We wanted to summarize this amazing experience meeting and connecting with so many fabulous people. We also want to give a special shout out to Ace Elite Services, Nikki Claudine and Lisa Lew for making our trip so fabulous and welcoming. "International designer Melina Cortes-Nmili’s road to fashion has been anything but conventional. Part entrepreneur and part designer, Melina has never taken the standard path. Frustrated with the frantic, flash-in-a-pan pursuit of the latest fads, Melina had a vision for a new take on a timeless concept - beauty that transcends the trend...
Said in a simpler way, she believes in a luxurious, classic yet contemporary design that always looks beautiful, and never goes out of style."This #GIRLBOSS also works a 9-5 job and had Jaclyn help run her passions for fashion designs by night! On our L.A. Adventure, we had the fabulous pleasure of using American Airlines Fist Class with movies, gourmet meals and snacks. Six and a half hours later we arrived in Los Angeles and were picked up by our amazing car service. You MUST look into, Ace Elite Services! The founder himself, Antwan picked us up and set us up at the ..
.. beautiful Lowes Hotel Hollywood! Antwan and his team could not have taken better care of us! We are truly grateful for having them guide us through the whole trip! The Lowes Hotel was absolutely spectacular in the heart of Hollywood! From private pools, full service bar and help whenever we needed we couldn't have been happier with our stay. We also had the fabulous opportunity to check out Beverly Hills and go to VIlla Blanca! The food was super tasty and service was great! We also loved their classic wines! Now to Emmy PREP!
