Erica Weiner Gives the Letterpress a Makeover
Confession: I am a huge font nerd. And like most vintage geek collectors , I am always on the hunt for old timey tech. While I have a pretty decent collection of vintage typewriters , I knew the only way to pay proper respect to my passion for typography was to learn letterpress printing. After taking months of workshops and making my own set of unique greeting cards , I finally felt like I conquered the massive machines and their rows of movable type. As a thank-you, my guy surprised me with a beautiful letterpress necklace ($75) I’d been coveting from Brooklyn-based jewelry designer, Erica Weiner. Font nerds, get excited!

Eco Oil Custard.avi...A styling product I made using Eco Styler Gel and various nourishing oils. Has a custard-like texture. Great dupe for Organic Root Stimulator's Lock & Twist Gel or Kinky Coily Curling Custard but less expensive. The gel provides the ability to stick and define the style, while the oils nourish and seal the hair. Substitute any oil you like (Grapeseed, Jojoba, etc.). I wouldn't suggest Shea or Coconut unless they've been permanently liquefied, other wise they might re-solidify and ruin your mix. Recipe: 1/2 cup - Eco Styler Gel 1 tbsp - Olive Oil 1 tbsp - Castor Oil 1 tbsp - Avocado Oil Put Eco gel into a bowl, mix in each oil separately. Thoroughly mix the oil in the gel before adding the second oil. Cover and place in cool place. This does not need to be refrigerated as the ingredients used do not require refrigeration. If over time the mix begins to separate, just stir. Use for twists, twist outs, to smooth edges, etc. A little goes a long way.
