My Favorite Cleansers From Cheap to Steep

Wednesday November 18, 2009

I've become a Pond's cold cream person. There, I said it. I've always thought of Pond's cold cream as the cleanser of choice for old ladies until I read that it's also the choice of French women. Then my editor told me she'd become obsessed with it and I decided to try it out. I am thrilled with the results. Pond's leaves my dry face moist and dewy and gets rid of every last bit of makeup. There's something very satisfying looking at a tissue full of makeup. Plus, I love not splashing my face with water before heading off to bed. The water wakes me up from my much-preferred drowsy state.

Pond's is a new addition to my best cleansers list, which includes a few fancy products but it mostly made up of stuff you can find in your local drugstore. All of these are hugely popular. I'm less interested in what's new and hip and more interested in what works, period.

New! More Short Hair Photo Galleries

Wednesday November 18, 2009


Short hair is more trendy than ever with some women opting to go super-short (the photo here of singer Pink is one of my most popular short hairstyle photos on my site).

I've had my hair chin-length (or shorter) for more than a year now and I've never gotten more compliments on my hair in my life. The comments still come almost daily. It blows my mind. And yes, I do need to post a photo so you can see it for yourself.

So is short hair for you? Should you opt for a bob or an edgy, punk cut? Check out these new photo galleries and decide for yourself.

You have the date set, perhaps the dress picked out and the shoes. What what in the heck are you going to do with your hair for the company holiday party?

I've pulled together a special hub of holiday hair just for you.

Browse short hairstyles and find out how to dress up short hair (hint: it's all about the statement necklace, the lipstick, the smoky eyes), or pick out the updos and choose between a formal chignon or a loose, messy bun. Perhaps you have long hair and want to curl it, but should you use rollers or a curling iron? I've got the scoop on the hottest holiday hair for 2009.

Sunday November 15, 2009
Whether you approve or disapprove of Botox (for the record, I have no problem with Botox, I have several friends who SWEAR by it), you may wonder what happens during a Botox injection. This video shows you exactly what happens during the procedure.
