Strange Beauty Trend: Vagina Makeovers?

Izzie Drew

A few years back the cast of SATC shocked the mommy majority when they highlighted the Brazilian wax as a ritual among many women. Soon, the Brazilian became a household name, and hair-down-there became a thing of the past. Now, it’s come to the attention of the inter-web that anything goes below the belt. No hair, hair, Jewels, shapes, you name it - it’s now game on. Don’t know what we’re talking about, brace yourself, and your vagina.

It’s been cold, so it’s likely that you have either been curled up on the couch beside a pot of hot tea while watching The Bachelor, or with a book in bed and a half litre of red wine. Whatever your poison both have something in common – copious consumption causes discolouration to your teeth.

Confessions of a Nail Biter

I was likely about 10 years old, give or take, and my uncle told me that no one was ever going to love me with hands like mine. While although I’m 27 and still single, I highly doubt it’s based solely on my incredibly disgusting habit of biting my fingers and nails (it probably has more to do with all of my other incredibly disgusting habits - but more on those another day).

Why Braids are Still Going Strong

Last summer you couldn’t swing a pint on a crowded patio without almost drenching someone in a pair of cutoff jean shorts rocking a side braid. Not only are they arguably the only hairstyle you can don on any occasion at any age - first ballet recital, prom, job interview, hungover at work on a Monday, your wedding day, and on and on – they are easy, and the perfect combination of cute and sexy.

Dating: To Creep or Not to Creep?

Have you briefly talked to a guy, swapped names and work place info and than gone home with your fingers crossed, hoping that he is rocking laxed privacy settings on his social networking sites? Yes? You aren’t alone. Social networking has started to take the blind out of blind dating. The days of asking your friends “Do you happen to know so and so?” have been replaced with already knowing who is connected to because you’ve checked out his friends list.

It’s that time of year: Reese Witherspoon, Leanne Rimes, 24 year old Crystal Harris set to marry 60 years her senior Mr. Hugh Hefner, and on and on. People love love over the holidays. So, did anyone in your life just pop the question: Will you be my maid-of-honor? If so, start preparing.

Brow Shaping 101

Izzie Drew

Remember that girl in your homeroom that fell subject to emotionally plucking her brows? Unforunate on so many accounts. Your brows not only have a physical use (they stop the sweat from entering the eye during your hot yoga class) they are also one of the best ways to define and highlight the features of your face. So for you and the emotional tweezer, here are a few general rules to remember when shaping your brow:

Everyone (so like Oprah) will tell you that a happy-go-lucky life includes loving what you do. Of course Op’s thinks this – she’s got it made right? Well, some of us aren’t as fortunate. A lot of us end up feeling trapped because we’ve become insanely uncomfortable yet comfortable in our current position because – let’s face it – the pay cheque feeds us. Taking the next step and quitting your job can feel like a daunting leap, so how do you know when it’s really time to let go of where you are and walk the plank of quitting and hunting (side note – hunt before you quit – unless it’s for um, insanely serious reasons – if that’s the case, call HR and report them)?

New Lashes Trend: Custom Mascara

Izzie Drew

What we need? A really good mascara, but what we want is for it to look like the lashes are ours - no clumps and no access formula making it look like spiders are poking out of our lids. Recently a few choice brands have come out with customizable mascaras allowing you to gauge how big and bold you would like to go for an occasion. Here are a few that will take your lashes to your personally selected length and volume leaving that “I was born with it” finish:

Sex Ed 101

The first time they likely talked to you, whatever variation of the story you may have received, it started a bit like this, “sweetie, when two people really love each other ...” and so on. So, what did we really wish our mother, or the school nurse had told us about sex? Future parents, take notes.
