How to Care for Your Lingerie

Kathleen Brown

Anything other than “machine washable” on the label can mean your favorite lingerie items require a high-maintenance laundry routine. But there comes a time when just a little extra TLC can make all the difference in the life of your undergarments.

Growing Your Hair Out – the Right Way

Kathleen Brown

Growing out your hair can be a very lengthy journey (pardon the pun). How many of you have insisted that you’re not cutting your hair, only to find that you leave the salon with a new bob? Lusting over long locks is common and it’s easy to get discouraged along the way. For the average person, it takes at least a year to grow out six inches (about one-half inch growth per month). Here are some ways to make the process a little more bearable.

What Your Nails Are Telling You

Kathleen Brown

We file down the edges and push back the cuticles. We buff and scrape and polish and seal, all to give the illusion of a perfectly healthy set of nails. But what do you see when you remove all the extras and really examine your nails in their natural state?

The Keratin Complex Smoothing Treatment

Kathleen Brown

I’ve always been the girl with big hair. Thick, coarse, frizzy hair; humidity is my kryptonite. I’ve experimented with hair taming serums and shampoos and have used every tool from the Con-Air Steam Straightener to the CHI Flat Iron. I turn green with envy when I hear about people whose hair naturally dries flat. I wonder to myself, “What could that be like?” So the idea of undergoing a treatment designed to combat my exact hair woes set my heart aflutter with the hope of a new hair life.

Beauty Musts to Update Your Look this Fall

Kathleen Brown

You wouldn’t wear summer time clothes in fall, and neither should you wear your warmer-weather makeup in the cooler months ahead. Our skin’s texture actually changes to adjust to the drop in temperature and decrease of moisture in the air. So what works for the summer doesn’t necessarily cross over in terms of effectiveness. Keeping your makeup kit up-to-date is the best way to arrive prepared when fall finally does arrive.

Make a Splash in Turquoise Makeup

Kathleen Brown

What are the first thoughts that come to your mind when you imagine turquoise? A tropical destination perhaps? Well that’s the inspiration behind this summer’s colour trend. Pantone, the global authority on colour, lists turquoise as the colour of the 2010. The appeal of turquoise is universal; it puts everyone in a “vacation” state of mind. Combining the best of blues and greens, this soothing shade is a sweet retreat.
