The multi-awarded and Grammy-nominated American Band “Fall Out Boy” was formed in 2001 in a suburb in Chicago, Illinois. Its current members include Patrick Stump (vocals, guitar, primary composer), Pete Wentz (bass guitar, backing vocals, primary lyricist), Joe Trohman (guitar, backing vocals), and Andy Hurley (drums, percussion). They launched their first major album in 2005 entitled From Under the Cork Tree, which has reached triple platinum status after selling over 2.5 million albums all over the USA alone. The first single Sugar We’re Goin’ Down off this album went to the top of music charts of the Billboard Hot 100 (#6) and the Pop 100 (#3). Aside from this, the band also got a Grammy Award nomination for Best New Artist in 2006. In 2007, the band released its second album entitled Infinity on High, which sold around 260,000 copies within its first week. This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arm’s Race, the second album’s first single, topped the charts of the Pop 100 and reached #2 at the Billboard Hot 100, ensuring another major chart success for the band.
A lot of people consider Fall Out Boy’s musical style as emo. Drawing from a plethora of musical influences in rock, pop, punk and hardcore, the band has eventually found its own distinctive place in the music industry. This they did by creating their own unique sound that is basically emo in nature. This fact is no more evident than in the lyrics of the band’s songs, which are often interspersed with irony and other literary paradoxes. Most of the band’s lyrics were written by band member Pete Wentz, who has been in the media spotlight, not just because of his relationship with singer Ashlee Simpson, but also because of his hoodies, guyliners and who would have thought he had a fashion line.

Well, I don't know about you, but where I am, summer seems to be running late! It's raining, it's cold and I want the sunshine!!
One thing I love about summer is how my hair seems to glisten in the sun, multi faceted shades of auburn and strawberry blond. However, I find as I get older, and wiser, I worry about the damaging effects the sun has not only on my fair skin, but on my hair as well. The sun is really no different then a blow dryer or hair straightener, and although most of us tend to use hair styling tools less in the summer weather, the sun itself can still cause damage to our tresses.
I found some great products to help save our hair from the heat and damaging sun rays and wanted to pass them along to you! (after all this is the reason I am here, to share my knowledge ;)
Frederick Fekkai Summer Hair - Protect your hair while getting great style! With a great line including Hydrating Gelee and Beach Waves Heat Activated Conditioner, there is a product for your hair type.
Redken Sun Protection - This popular line of Hair Care Products has you covered for the Summer Weather with Shampoos, Conditioners and Leave-in Treatments. I love the Protective Oil Leave in Smoother with gold mica particles for a high-shine and super sleek finish.
So remember, along with your Summer Hair Style, be sure to protect your hair from the damaging rays to keep your hair healthy and looking it's best!
