I carry sunscreen around with me in my purse ever since I met with renowned dermatologist Patricia Wexler and she informed me that I needed at least 50 SPF sunscreen on my face, I needed to slather it on thickly and I needed to reapply every couple hours.

Lisa Fayed is About.com's Guide to Cancer and wrote up a great piece I highly recommend about the top 5 mistakes people make when it comes to sunscreen.

Reading this could save you or a loved one's life.

Naomi Torres is About.com's Guide to Hair Removal. This week she writes about using oils after you shave to moisturize. I always use oils after I shave, I prefer them to creams. At the moment I'm obsessed with almond oil, which smells divine.

Find out why oils are ideal in Torres's article, "After Shaving- Try Oil to Moisturize."

Lipstick is popular this spring and I'm partial to hot pinks as seen here on Gwen Stefani.

One problem with lipsticks is the lack of staying power. To keep yours from melting away within the hour, follow these tips:

• You must start with a smooth surface. Dry, scaly lips do not a nice mouth make. Apply a liberal glob of petroleum jelly to lips and exfoliate with a toothbrush.
• Fill in lips with a matching liner and your color will last much longer.
• Try a lip stain instead of a creamy lipstick. A good stain will really live up to its names and stay on for many hours. Because stains can be drying, top with a gloss and keep it on hand for touch ups. Unlike stains, gloss wears off fast.

I just completed 3 photo galleries of my favorite eyeglasses. They were such fun to put together and really highlighted some truths about choosing the perfect frames for you, which are:

• It's very important to choose a frame that matches your personality. Let's say you have a twin. If you are understated, classy and sophisticated, you really wouldn't pick the same pair as your fun-loving, loud and eccentric sister. And you shouldn't.
• Your face shape is key. Rounded frames don't look great on round face shapes. There are other rules you'll find in Gallery 1: Most Flattering Glasses for You.
• Your frames must go with your outfit. Because of this, you might want to invest in a few pairs of glasses so you can mix and match frames to outfits.
• Don't overdo the accessories. If you have a pair of signature glasses that stand out, you don't want to overwhelm your look with a lot of jewelry and heavy scarves. Less is always more.

To check out the photos, which I think are stellar, start with Gallery 1.
