Hula Hoops I saw one of the ladies here mention hula hooping, and I was wondering how well it actually works. I'm fairly thin but I'd like to flatten my stomach (people think I have a six pack but that's only because they never see my pot belly when I'm not sucking it in haha) and I have a...

They're a set of 24 Norelco velvet flocked rollers - they do give me curl but it's really more volume than anything else. My hair is also extremely dense though, so I think part of why the curls are weaker is because I'm wrapping more hair around each roller than what's considered optimal. I do...

Go Blonder? This is a good thread! Right now I'm trying to decide if I should go blonder. My hair is naturally pretty blonde but it seems that for the past year it's been rapidly losing it's blonde color and turning into a dishwater blonde/brown color that looks really mousy and gross to me...

Wow Violeta your hair looks amazing. I wish my roller sets turned out that well!

Spitfire your wife is beautiful! I hope my hair turns white when I get older, but even gray would be fine with me. I promised myself that when I start getting grays I'm not going to dye my hair; I think it looks so much better to go natural at that point. It stinks that there's such a stigma...

Hot Rollers I got my hot rollers today... I'm kind of iffy about how I feel about them. As I expected there weren't really enough for my hair ha, so I had to kind of use them in a cycle, which I don't like because it's just a hassle really... They didn't make my hair that curly, either. I can...

Lady Danger My Lady Danger from MAC finally came in the mail today - I like it a lot so far; it makes my skin look really fresh and it makes my eyes look bluer, which is kind of an added bonus. I think it's because orange is the complementary color of blue... It also feels really creamy in my...

I ordered some hot rollers and I hope they work out... if not I'll be trying hot sticks too I think ha.

Oh yeah, I've seen her blog before, it's really nice, but I completely forgot the site! Thanks for the link! I feel like her luau hair is getting at a similar idea as the updo I'm looking at.

This hair? Does anyone know how you'd go about achieving this updo? http://rachelmcadams.org/photos/displayimage.php?album=312&pos=31 It's really pretty but I can't really figure out what's going on with it, partly because the stills are kind of blurry I think. It's from the...

And ohh that looks perfect Odalisque, thanks, that helps! I love whatever you're wearing in your avatar too, if it's the same one.

Thanks ladies - maybe I'll check out Chili. I do want kind of a daytime red. I want a red that doesn't look too serious or harsh, and something I can wear frequently without it looking too fancy or anything. And that matches my yellowy-tan skin color. And ooo apparently MAC is offering free...

Lady Danger Does anyone like MAC's Lady Danger? It seems like a kind of orange-based red, which I think would be good for my skin. And I found it on eBay. Would it be worth it? I've never used MAC before. Part of me feels weird buying lipstick off of eBay haha but I'm sure it hasn't been used -...

Rollers or Sticks? I realize this thread may be dead at this point ha, but I just thought I'd ask if anyone has used/been satisfied with Windmere hot rollers? There's a set of 24 on eBay for pretty cheap that I think might be good... But I'm kind of wondering if I should try hot sticks/ hot rag...

Ooo thank you, that helps. I like the Yves St Laurent one a lot! A bit pricey though :/. Maybe I could save up haha :) I like the other ones a lot too though. I'll have to try it out.
