This was done entirely with round brushes and a hair dryer.  My hair even looks shinier!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that there is a new trend in hair salons. They don’t color, they don’t cut, they don’t do extensions or fancy highlights. They do the blow-out. And they do it well.  Hair dry bars claim they can have you in and out of the salon in [...]

makeyourownporestrips

Remember when Biore first brought out their pore strips?  I was all over that stuff.  A piece of tape that cured blackheads and got out all the gunk from my pores?  Yes please.  It was very satisfying to look at the strip once I’d pulled it off.   I haven’t used them for a while, [...]

We’ve inspired two friends lately to be a little more festive at Halloween time.  I tend to get festive at Halloween by buying my fun sized candy bars too early, eating them all, panicking the night of Halloween and then running to Target to settle for the candy nobody wants.  But this year, I decorated [...]

Picture 331

After seeing this on Real Simple, I tried it today and despite only having the Pam spray with the added touch of flour for baking…it worked!  I painted my nails, waited about two minutes (don’t spray between coats, spray when you’re all done) and sprayed on the cooking spray.  Then I gently washed my hands [...]

Conair Infinity Pro Spin Brush:  Spins in either direction, three heat settings, retails for about $55-$60

I’ve seen spin brush hair dryers on TV and haven’t tried them because the rotating action terrifies me.  I have visions of my hair spinning into a tangle of mayhem that will require me to actually cut the brush out of my hair.   But the other day Jody bought an air brush (in this [...]
