I was probably trying to figure out how to re create the cake balloons myself in this picture 😜 also I wish I still had those overalls they are amazing. My mom put this picture up for my birthday today so I had to share it. I feel so blessed that so many people reached out to share the love, not everyone is so lucky and I do not take it for granted to have so much support and kindness in my life. 🎂 🎁 #birthday

There is nothing that compares to drinking an incredible glass of wine in the place that the grapes were grown. If your version of wine tasting is a grocery store sample you have to put a trip to wine country ⛰ on your wishlist. There are so many excuses to be outside soaking in all of the “terroir” (terrain) while eating delicious food and sipping unique wines. When you actually slow down and taste wine it is a totally different experience. Next time you are having a glass 🍷 let it roll around your tongue to hit the different areas, you will experience it for yourself. We are packing up the car and headed north from Oakland. I can't wait to share my birthday weekend with you so make sure and follow my stories this weekend to get a taste of the Sonoma wine country. #winecountry #winetasting #sonoma #summer

This is my kind of “outdoorsy” being on a boat dressed in white and navy taking in the sights. I love this #tbt of Nana and I at Congress Lake on the pontoon boat cruising away. Times like these fueled my passion for outdoor living, everything from sleeping on the screened in porch to helping set up a huge family dinner on the deck. So let’s think about fun ways to do more without walls. What are your favorite childhood memories from being outside? #outfits #outdoors #pontoon #congresslake #ohio #ohioboy #theodore #lifestyle #preppy

I love talking about the #weather because I’m from Ohio and it’s what we do especially when it is AMAZING! And what’s the only thing better than cooking a delicious meal? Cooking OUTSIDE 😍 I had so much fun being the sous chef to @stonerandall for the big #paella 🥘 party in the #hamptons last year, and there wasn’t a spec of food left when we were done! Cooking outside is the best and here are my faves: turkey fryer, pizza oven, grill, clambake... what is your favorite type of outdoor cooking? #cookout #cookingoutside #summer

"Everyday is a specail occasion"

Theodore Leaf is the real life story of a small town boy who against all odds worked to find success in Hollywood. The root of his inspiration began with a wig from the store window of his family’s bridal salon in rural Ohio, which sparked into a passion for the art of transformation. After completing his studies at Paul Mitchell he made his first big splash into the world of entertainment as the youngest contestant on Bravo’s Shear Genius.

The show opened new windows for Theodore and landed him a coveted spot as a top stylist at Sally Hershberger Salon in West Hollywood. Since then Theodore’s title has shifted from “hairstylist” to a man of many trades, still growing today. Having never looked back, Theodore worked both sides of the lens producing his own YouTube channel featuring numerous tutorials reaching 5,000,000 views. He has been featured on television shows including NBC’s Fashion Star, E!’s Fashion Police and Style Network’s How Do I Look?

In 2013 Theodore became the Beauty Editor at Large for Glamour Magazine and has represented the brand & contributed several articles focusing on digital beauty influencers. He is the host of the popular digital series Elevator Makeover and the upcoming Bad Hair Day both produced by Conde Nast Entertainment.
