Style for Real Life
This past weekend the sun made an appearance in New England and I took full advantage. However I also paid a painful price because I forgot to grab a hat. Although I have a head full of thick dark hair and my skin is not prone to burning for some reason my scalp will burn. So if I'm going to … [Read more...]
At the least make plucking those hairs a little easier. Have you ever tried to find those stray long dark hairs on your neck and under your chin? It's nearly impossible! With the way my hair grows I can't always wait till my next waxing/laser/whatever appointment to let someone else clean them up … [Read more...]

Last week Moriah broached the subject of natural deodorant with a review of Arm & Hammer’s new Essentials line of natural deodorants.

Do you use heat to style your hair? A hair dryer? Curling iron? Straightening iron? I'm willing to bet the answer is yes. Do you use protection? If you are subjecting your hair to high heat then you need to be using something to protect it. The heat of a dryer or iron can cause major … [Read more...]
