Let's Get This Straight

Even experienced hair care consumers can get confused about the multitude of products available today. There’s stuff for your hair when it’s wet, and when it’s dry; when it needs strength, and when it needs repair. Is all this stuff bogus? And what are all these things supposed to do anyway?

 

Whether a product is as effective as it’s claimed to be is up to the consumer. She gets to decide if she likes the look and feel, and even the smell, of the product she purchases, even if the “revolutionary science” behind its formula ... Read More >>>

1.On these last few hot summer days, turn your thermostat up a few degrees while you're out. If no one's there to enjoy the air conditioner, you might as well save a few bucks!

Slim Wear for Every Size and Shape

One of the coolest things about modern sports and lounge wear is the selection of fabrics available. We enjoy breathable t-shirts and ultra soft yoga pants; even socks with a protective layer of aloe vera. But it’s the stretchy, slimming clothes which have been the real life-saver for women conscious of lumps under their clothes. This slim wear isn’t just for keeping in tummy rolls however; this wonder fabric can keep even the most slender women looking tidy—without bumps from crinkled fabric or bra straps.

One of the simplest slim wear classics is a waist smoothing tank top. Th... Read More >>>

Hot Rollers: A Thing of the Past?

Hot rollers aren’t just for little old ladies in housecoats anymore. Bring back the style this summer for a little extra bounce in your step (and your hair, of course).

Why hot rollers? Curling irons are well and good for hair care veterans, but holding a hot iron above your scalp for up to an hour can be exhausting to the average girl, not to mention a huge time-waster in the morning. But rollers can set in clean hair in less than half an hour in some cases, and the curl will only hold tighter and stronger the longer they’re in, and the more time it’s been since you last washed your h... Read More >>>

Old Wives' Tales: Beauty Myths Dispelled

Myth: Eating fast food will make you lose your figure.

False! It's all about the choices you make. And sometimes, let's face it, it's a lot easier to choose drive-thru than it is to prepare a full-ledged meal after a busy day of work. It's what you choose once you hear, "May I take your order?" that makes all the difference. These fast food ideas well help you (and your wallet) end the day right:
