Try a product like The Body Shop Brazil Nut Define & No-Frizz to tame frizzy hair.2. Bring it to lifeIf your hair is limp and lank, you may have used too much mousse or gel. Use a spray bottle with warm water, Bend at your waist, turn your head upside down, and spray a gentle mist on your roots. Shake your head a few times, then flip it back up and then style your hair. Much better!3. Get rid of staticThis is such a big problem in winter, especially if you wear a hat! To control static, I keep a box of fabric softener sheet in my desk. Just rub one lightly over your hair. Or try a tiny dab of leave-in conditioner. Both work great!4. De-grease, quick!No time to shampoo? Try a dry shampoo, like Tigi's Rockaholic Dirty Secret. Spray on at the roots to absorb excess oils and odors, then comb through and style as usual. Perfect when you only have a few minutes to do your normal hair-care routine. |

However, if it is in bad condition, or has different tones in it, a hairstylist might be a better option. Hair dye won't take well to hair in bad condition and will leave your color patchy, so you might save yourself some disappointment! 2. Which Kit? Photo Credit: wisely-chosen Kits sold in supermarkets and chemists contain different chemicals to kits from salons, which will generally give better results. That said, if you follow the instructions, you can get amazing and very professional looking results from a supermarket kit and they are of very good quality and value these days. 3. Prep Your House Photo Credit: Kathy Froilan Grab old towels to cover anything valuable and stay away from your bedroom, especially if your bed has white sheets! Cover the sofa if you are likely to sit on it, and hide any important paperwork. Some hair dyes have to be left on for 55 minutes, and you'll be surprised how far you'll move in that time! |
Posted: 05 May 2010 06:33 AM PDT  1. Who Runs The Contest?The Smile Makeover contest is being run by “Dear Doctor - Dentistry & Oral Health” magazine, a quarterly magazine written by dental health care professionals in simple, uncomplicated, “non-medical” language for the general public. Essentially, the magazine opens the lines of communication between patients and dental professionals by providing patients with the necessary education to make confident, informed healthcare decisions.Smile Makeover – or the Ultimate Dental Health Makeover Contest – has been on for quite some time and already has one winner who walked off with $33,000 worth of dental work. It doesn't matter if all you need are crowns, implants, veneers, orthodontics, periodontics etc. or if you need a total smile makeover, if you win, Dear Doctor will provide the dental work! 2. How Does Smile Makeover Contest Work?Basically, Dear Doctor has a group of contest sponsors and participating dentists, who donate everything that will be needed to fix your teeth. To be picked as the winner, you will have to agree to appear in "Dear Doctor – Dentistry & Oral Health" magazine. The staff of the magazine picks 10 random people and calls them to see if they object to the gift tax. If anyone does, the magazine just picks another person to fill their spot. |
Posted: 05 May 2010 06:09 AM PDT  Price: $14.50 at maccosmetics.com First of all, no matter which color you prefer or what you're looking for, MAC is bound to have at least three or four eyeshadows that are exactly what you want. There are, after all, 176 different shades to choose from, like the demure Filament (the palest of pinks) to a deep inky Carbon (nearly black). The color is intense, and it doesn't crease or flake or wear off, but it's not greasy, so a simple swipe with a warm washcloth will remove all traces of it. MAC Eyeshadows also blend beautifully, so if you're going for a smoky eye look, or even rainbow eyes, these are the shadows for you. There are also matte shades and glimmering shades for rocking the glam look or for keeping it subtle for the office. Right now, I have at least 30 of these tiny black pot of shadow in my make-up bag. It's something of an addiction, but I know I'm not alone — once you try them, you'll never want to use anything other than MAC Eyeshadows. Really. |

Marc by Marc Jacobs "Wild at Heart" Rain Coat Price: $300.00 at net-a-porter.com Why not add a bit of grey to an already over-cast day, especially if it's a rain coat covered in tiny yellow hearts?

Go Fug Yourself  Let this blog be your bible for what NOT to do fashion wise!

And it’s always fun to know that noone’s perfect and everyone makes a fashion booboo sooner or later… 4. Style Bubble   If eclectic/ funky is your thing, do stop by. The blog itself is a giant puzzle of London based Susie’s personal styles, photoshoots, fashion shows, haute couture, street fashion, suggestions for fashion must-haves, labels, labels and more labels.

What I love most are photographs of Susie donning bizarre, eye-popping outfits that you’d really have to see to believe and the funny thing is she totally manages to carry them off and boy does that make me envious! In her words, eclecticism is key to her style… no colour is off-limits, no style is forgotten, no period of fashion neglected and anything goes! 5.
