It's Okay to be Childless

I am a woman with no children of my own. I know I talk about "my kids" all the time but they're actually my stepchildren. The only reason I bring this up is because I was at a baby shower the other day and there were a lot of older ladies, like me, talking about child birth, raising kids, etc., etc., etc. When one of the lady's looks at me and says ... "you have kids don't you?" And I said "no, I

Trendy 2009 Fashion Hair Trend: Braided Hair

Braided hair been one of the most obvious beauty trends this year. People seem to have a love-hate relationship with it -some people think it's pretty and some think it's just too cutesy. For most part, I think braids is a cute way to add some girliness to ones hairstyle, but it really depends on how you do it and whether it suits the rest of your look.

Braided Hair

The celebrity that has been sporting braids the most seems to be Lauren Conrad. And if you know Lauren's usual style (-very girly,) then you would probably agree that the braids really suit Lauren.

Fashion Hair Trend

The basic way seems to be braiding the front bit of your hair and pull the briad to one side, and tie all your hair up into a pony tail. Look how well the braid goes with Lauren's style!
And she even manages to use the braid to glam up her whole hairstlye and look.
Nicole Richie uses the braids to complement her boho, LA style.
Then there's the braided up-do.
I have to admit I think this hairstyle really doesn't suit Gwen Stefani. It looks so complicated and just... weird on her.
I love the way Rachel wore the braid. She manages to wear the braid without looking overly girly, keeping her casual and trendy look.
Despite how cute I think the braid is, I still haven't tried it out yet. It's probably because I don't want to look like I'm 14, but mostly because it requires some effort to pull together (as opposed to doing nothing.) What do you think of the braid trend? Have you tried it?

Spiral Perm Hairstyles

2009, 2010 Spiral Perm Hairstyles

Spiral perms were all the rage back in the 1980’s. Today they are making a comeback and if they are done correctly, a spiral pem can be truly beautiful. A badly done spiral perm will leave you looking like you just stuck your finger in a light socket, so make sure you go to a reputable stylist. Spiral perms make a woman look saucy, flirty, and extremely sexy.
The name spiral comes from how the hair is permed. Traditional perms use small rollers and your hair is rolled horizontally. A spiral perm uses long, slender rollers and your hair is rolled vertically, from the ends to your scalp, in a corkscrew fashion, hence the name “spiral”. Depending on the size of the vertical roller, your curls can be loose or extremely tight. You are not limited to always having one particular curly hairstyle when you get a spiral perm. Use a hairdryer with a diffuser to dry your curly hair and one without if you want to blow-dry it straight. Straightening your hair with a hairdryer will leave it appearing thicker and full of body; your curls will come right back when you wash your hair again. You can even use the diffuser for a little bit longer than it takes to dry your hair to change your hairstyle into attractive waves. Add some hair gel and you can scrunch your hair into even tighter ringlets for yet another look.
Spiral perms can cost almost twice as much as a regular perm. This is because they look best on longer hair and require more work. You could try giving yourself a spiral perm but you run the risk of a frizzy perm, and since spiral perms last months longer than a normal perm, you may not want to risk that. Also, remember to be careful after you get your spiral perm – use lots of conditioning products (perms dry out hair) and avoid any hair products that have alcohol in them. Alcohol will make the drying much worse. And if your hair is not in good condition, stay away from any type of perm or you’ll look like a dust bunny rather than a sexy woman.

I was at Borders the other day ...

This is one of my favorite pastimes. I love wandering around a bookstore and settling into a nice, comfy chair with a cup of coffee and reading. So, there I am at Borders and before I get my coffee and sit, I wandered around to find a few books to take with me. It was then that I saw it ... there on the shelf ... a book titled "Marrying George Clooney - Confessions from a Midlife Crises" by Amy

Megan Fox Hair Color

Megan Fox Hair Color - Fall, Winter 2010 Edition

The bombshell Megan Fox has captured the hearts of men and women worldwide. Some love her for her acting, some for her modeling, and women love her hair. She always has a beautiful style and unique color. Here is how to get this beauty’s hair color for yourself.
If you already have black hair, lucky you – you and Megan have the same natural color. If you naturally have very dark brown hair, you could probably manage to get this look without needing to dye it black. To get the perfect color, you should have black hair. Be aware that for those with really fair skin the contrast between your new black hair and your skin can be startling; some people end up hating that look. If you dye your hair black, you either will have to wait for it to turn back to your natural color or get it bleached, which will damage your hair badly. Start by dyeing your hair black. Your own natural highlights will help bring out highlights in the black hair color. If your hair is naturally dark, you can just start highlighting. If you want to copy Megan’s look exactly, then add some dark brown highlights and some medium brown lowlights. Chestnut brown would be a good color for this. Another way you could achieve this look is by dyeing your hair black, then dye it again with a dark brown. If you choose this method, make sure to condition your hair since dyeing it could damage it. But you’ll have that same sexy look either way.

Teenage Boys Haircuts 2009, 2010

Teenage Boys Haircuts 2009, 2010 Tips

There are many similarities between hairstyles for males and females in short and long variations. Usually the differences are due to limitations that may come from family, community or society at large. When looking at teenage boys haircuts, a large percentage of them are cut today at a longer length than was traditionally the custom. But even with a longer length of hair, the look is distinctly male because of its bold styling and clean, masculine lines.
Teenage Boys Haircut

For many style conscious teenagers, the super-straight style is the way to go, because it’s so simple to maintain. What makes this look work so well is when it’s defined with a deep-set side part and razor cut for a sleek, smooth finishing of the edges. This style is one of the most popular of all the teenage boys hairstyles because it’s also one of the most versatile. When the occasion calls for a special look, a touch of styling gel or texturizer is all that needs to be added to rework the hair into a more formal appearance.
The longer cut of is also popular when it comes to styling the hair for a more trendy “scene” look that is easily adaptable to look as edgy as it suits the person. For teenage boys haircuts that make the grade for a tough male look, this calls for a little more than comb and brush. While the hair is wet, applying styling gel to the hair before blow-drying and lifting the hair while combing will give a livelier, backswept look.

Memories from "The Block" ...

When I was growing our neighborhood had some really interesting characters. Mary Felix lived next door to us. Mary was the only divorced lady on the block and in the 1960's a divorced lady was kind of scandalous. To me, she looked just like Tina Turner and was my first exposure to a "sexy" lady. She never, EVER, took off her false eye lashes and she loved anything in leopard. Leopard pants,

Men's hairstyles - fashion hair cuts for men 2009

How a man chooses to wear his hair can either make him or break him as they say. Let‘s face it– our hair completes our look. It is a major portion of what people see when they glance at us, notice us in their peripheral vision, or simply stare at us. Therefore, caution should be used when selecting a new hairstyle, unless you are trying to make a statement.


Blond longer male hair

Trendy hairstyles typically refer to short and spiky or long and relaxed. The classic cut is always short and nicely fitted. Everything else falls somewhere in between the two unless it falls into the category of wild and unique. Wild haircuts include Mohawks, Emo, buzz cut, and faux hawk.

Victoria Beckham Hairstyles

Victoria Beckham's hairstyles always make the headlines- especially if she has changed her look.

Victoria has changed her style over the last 5 years many times. She started out with long curly hair - that she got from wearing hair extensions. This was a crazy stage for awhile where everyone wanted to get extensions to look like Victoria.

Then she shattered all ideas about hairstyle by getting all her hair cut off short. She started with a long version of the inverted bob hairstyle. Her hair was longer in the front and shorter in the back with tons of layers and height in the crown area.

The inverted aka shattered bob then morphed into a short pixie hairstyle, much like that of Halle Berry. It does look cute, but the longer styles seem to make her small features look better. She is so tiny and skinny that the pixie hairstyle doesn't do her any favors. Check out the latest Victoria Beckham Hairstyles
