There have been times in my life when I've described my hair as “seaweed on a rock.” It's long, straight, and, well, limp. So, I've embarked on a mission to find out what to do about it, and here's what I have discovered. First, product buildup is bad. Using chemical laden shampoos an...
I have to admit, I've been blessed with straight hair – I envy those with waves and curls. But I have lots of friends who dream of sleek and straight locks, and I've been doing some research on their behalf. Here's what I've discovered. The most important thing to consider is do you want a p...
If you want to do nude makeup, you may be thinking you should just skip it altogether. Nude is nude right? Actually, wrong. Nude makeup takes just as much, if not more, care as the case may be. As far as brows go, you could get away with a little slick of clear gel. Otherwise, use a pencil or powder...
We've all seen them – ladies on the beach or at the pool that turn heads. Of course, that could be for one of two reasons – either they look great… Or they really don't! This is why it's so important to buy a new swimsuit every year. Just because it looked good last year, doesn'...
I often think about what is glamorous and sexy. The truth is, it's not one thing. It's a collection of all the elements, seen and unseen, that add up to make a look glamorous and sexy. Glamour, and sexiness, also have nothing to do with cost – you can look fantastically sexy wearing a cheap...
OK. So you're going on holiday – lucky you! Trouble is, if you're flying, getting all your clothes into a tiny suitcase, and then within your weight limit, is well nigh impossible! Luckily, I've got some great packing tips. Firstly, only ever take clothes that don't require ironing with you,...
It would be great if we could use the same cosmetics all year round, but the truth is, like your wardrobe, you need different cosmetics for the different seasons. Firstly, you need to ditch your creamy winter cleanser in summer! It will lead to oily skin in hotter months. Rather choose a foaming f...
We all dream of leaving for work in the morning, looking perfectly groomed, and returning home at night, looking just as perfect. There are products out there that promise eight, or even twelve hour staying power, but generally, they're expensive. The good news is that there's a trick to stayin...
It's a sad fact of life that as we get older, things start going south. Most of them can't be affected much, without surgery that is, but the good news is that a double chin can most certainly be tackled. Chewing gum helps strengthen the jaw muscles, and tightens and tones the under chin area. Pat...
I've just found something out that completely rocked my world! If you want to lose weight, eating more fiber can help you do that with no effort. Apparently, the extra fiber helps your body to flush out calories and fat, before they're absorbed! So by eating more fiber every day, you can eat a li...
Times are tough, but that doesn't mean your hair should suffer! Luckily, I've found some fabulous (and cheap) alternatives to your favorite products. Here are a few substitutions you may want to try. A little body lotion, worked through very frizzy hair, can help tame your locks. Another good tric...
I was fortunate to have been born into a family of women with more than adequate breast size, but I've got friends who struggle to fill an A cup, so I've heard a lot about breast augmentation over the years. For some reason, our femininity seems tied more to our breasts than anything else. If you...
If you're feeling the pressure to cut back on costs that most of us are thanks to the recession, you might have to sacrifice your trips to the hair salon. The trouble is, hair is one of those things that you really need professional help with. You can't style, color or cut hair yourself, unless yo...
With the exception of (perhaps) our doctors, our hairstylists are possibly the hardest professionals in our lives. If you have a really great stylist, you'll know what I mean – they just GET you. You walk in, looking for a new color or style, and they seem to read your mind, and leave you lo...
I'm a big fan of blonde. I really think the saying “blondes have more fun” is true. Blonde just seems happier, more cheerful. It makes me think of summers at the beach! The trouble is, if you're not a natural blonde, you're going to have to bleach. And if you're not careful, you could...
Have you ever compared what you look like when you leave the house when you head out for a night on the town, and when you come back? Chances are, your eyes were perfectly “done” when you left, but a night in a sweaty club, or somewhere similar, has denuded your eyes, leaving you with...
OK. So you're trying to lose a few pounds. The trouble is, you're always hungry, thanks to a calorie restricted diet, that allows you to eat about the same as it would take to keep a baby rabbit alive. The secret is to make sure you have healthy snacks on hand, wherever you may be, so that your cr...
