This video makes me honestly laugh at loud. I love their accents, the playfulness, and also how direct they are: you know exactly how to go through the steps, and it's a pretty well edited movie! So here's the topic for today: how to dye your hair from home. Always a difficult one. In the past we've … [Read more...]
How to Create a Faux Mohawk
August 3, 2010 By Leave a Comment
On the first episode of the new season of "Project Runway", the contestant was eliminated, not because her dress wasn't super cute and finished (as it was, and Tim Gunn agrees!) but because of her styling. She dressed her model up with colorful heels and an enormous pink bag with a flower on the front, … [Read more...]

August 2, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Celebrities love do be over the top in beauty, and it's all part of living in the spotlight. No matter what crazy hair-do or makeup or tattoo they decide to show off in a music video, they have the money and time to change it back to something glamorous for the Grammy's the next week.

How to Apply Bronzer for a Healthy Summer Glow
July 30, 2010 By Leave a Comment
What I love about bronzer is that it's the secret weapon of the workplace. Everyone has the blush and the eyeliner and the lipstick, but with a little bit of bronzer, you look young and fresh but also well-rested. I always look so pale in the mornings, especially: it's good to give your skin a wakeup … [Read more...]

Lip liner was one of the first beauty tools I bought: I thought they would help plump up and redefine my lips. I learned quickly that there was a bit more science to the application (and to the achievement of lip plumping!) than just outlining the fading edges around your lips. I think we all need … [Read more...]
Self-Tanner Reviews: Hits and Misses
July 28, 2010 By 1 Comment
ItÂ’s summertime, and because I am not a supermodel with a lot of extra vacation time on my hands, my tan is uneven and barely developed and it makes me feel a little insecure. My nose is so much darker than the rest of me, I feel like a reindeer in photos. I have to wear long pants to work and work … [Read more...]
How to Wax Your Own Eyebrows

Waxing your eyebrows is difficult, and I think all of us want to leave it to the professionals. IÂ’m always wary of waxing my eyebrows, since if you do it wrong, everyone is going to see! I mostly prefer to wax every two weeks and tweeze in between to keep the evil hairs at bay, but after watching … [Read more...]
Latex Nail Trends? Weird and I Want It!
July 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment
So as much as I feel a shift in color and cut during the summer, (going from the black skin-tight dresses and pants and sweater combos of the winter to the flouncy, floaty girly prints of the summer) thereÂ’s also an undeniable desire to change the texture! And yeah, for the most part that comes from … [Read more...]
Casual Looks for a Summer Barbeque
July 23, 2010 By 2 Comments
ItÂ’s the height of summer, and I still havenÂ’t had that fantastic rock-out barbeque. IÂ’m starting to feel faint: I need the feel of that juicy burger with barbeque sauce and onion rings drizzled on top, the perfect summer ales to complete the hard-core beef, and the festivities of frisbee … [Read more...]
