Best and Worst Hairstyles at the Emmys
August 30, 2010 · 1 Comment
Hair Hangover! I keep replaying the Emmys in my head, going over the dresses, the speeches, the winners…and most importantly, the hair! The following is my breakdown of the hits and misses: LOOSE CURLS Best: Claire Danes, Sofia Vergara, Christina Hendricks (though I hated her dress.) All of these ladies had nice, groomed curls that were shiny and frizz-free without looking crunchy or overly uniform.

How many of you have heard of it? Willing to try it? I know a lot of mothers who are intimidated by exercise in general. They know... [Read the full story]

Nicole Richie Returns to Blonde…Again
August 27, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Nicole has had enough of the dark days- she has returned to blonde. Maybe she missed the memo that men are digging the dark hair ladies these days? At any rate, I like her hair blonde and shorter.
