I recently whacked all my hair off. I don’t know if it was post mid-life crisis, my ADD or a combination of both, but I made the cut. And it’s pretty cute. Kind of Halle Berry-ish, but medium brown with blond highlights.
Now, since I am having hot flashes on a regular basis, my hair doesn’t hold it’s flat iron too well, but that’s fine by me. I like my mixed curly/wavy textured hair. But it’s the frizz thatI can’t stand.
Aubrey Organics Hair Smoothing Serum
So, I finally tried out Aubrey Organics NuStyle Organic Hair-Smoothing Serum, and it’s just perfect for smoothing my frizzies, without being heavy or unnecessarily coating my hair. I love it. I can go “natural” without looking like I stuck my hair in an electrical socket. And the best part is that my hair FEELS good.

I’m not your typical chick flick chick. Please don’t make me see The Notebook. However, I can’t wait to see Salt, because I love to see a woman kick some butt. More importantly than butt kicking, Angelina Jolie wears some kick-butt eye makeup.
Angeline already sports cat eyeliner, but the depth of the eyeliner here is HOT! Check out my favorite eyeliner picks and check out the tutorial by makeup artist Cynde Watson on how to perfectly apply eyeliner.
One of these days soon I’m going to have those tutorials up and going…
The perfect accompaniment to seriously lined eyes is a pale blush and gloss lips. Just check out Angelina.

I can’t help it. I love to line the inner rim of my eyes when I want to look extra. Yup, I said extra and left it hanging. That’s my new expression, “You’re looking all extra.” That’s a compliment…
Anyway, back to the best liners for an inside job. While black may be your key to extra sexy, I love blue for brightening, nude for widening and bronzes for smoldering. Don’t get stuck in a rut — branch out and rim your eye in a new hue!

Perfected summer skin dictates that less is most definitely more. So stash your foundation until fall arrives, and opt instead for the sheer perfection of a tinted moisturizer. Tinted moisturizers are a triple-threat — coverage, moisturization and SPF. With the dog days of summer upon us, a using a tinted moisturizer is the ideal fix for fabulous skin.

Don’t you just love being able to swipe some color on your eye lid, blend it with a finger tip, slap on some mascara and go? I do, and I have become quite dependent on jumbo “crayon” size pencils for accomplishing such a task. Here are my favorites:

I recently rocked a smokey green eye using Envy mixed with a bit of dark gray shadow. Beautiful summer smoke!
