Forget the boring regular ponytail. Or the mussy updo. Who else is so sick of beachy waves? If you have a fun night out on the town (or a prom to go to), the side ponytail might be your hottest accessory. Perusing photo galleries of the red carpet for this year's crop of prom photos, I noticed the side ponytail was particularly a hot trend.
Check out my photo gallery of Side Ponytails for Prom and keep in mind, these babies aren't just for prom. You can wear them to work or to the park with the kids. Dress them up or down, they're very pretty either way.

My colleague at About, Jen Adkins, has a great article on 5 Tips for Younger Looking Hands. Most of us worry about our faces when it comes to aging, but it's actually our hands that show signs of aging first.

How funny is this picture of the lady at the spa with cucumbers splayed across her face? Back in the 50s the average housewife concocted her own homemade face masks and scrubs to keep her skin dewy and soft.
Women today are going back to basics and making up their own homemade face masks using simple ingredients found in the refrigerator and pantry, such as olive oil, brown sugar, table salt, eggs, avocado, honey and yogurt. Homemade face masks are not only fresh and devoid of processing (and testing on animals), they are also economical. After all, my beloved jar of Fresh Sugar Face Polish cost me $30. God knows I love it, but I love the effect my own homemade sugar scrub has on my skin. And my recipe costs me mere pennies.
One of my most popular articles of all time is Make Your Own Homemade Face Masks & Scrubs, which includes 25 recipes for 6 different skin types. Because literally 1000s of people have tried these recipes over the years, they tend to rate them as well, so you can see which ones were beloved and others which, well, weren't so much.
