    What makeup are you wearing today?

    Today I'm wearing BB cream, and earlier I had on a little red lipstick. This is significant for me because I've been trying to minimize my makeup as much as possible to try to improve my skin and self-esteem, keeping makeup a joy rather than a chore I feel I'm not acceptable without. This is the...

    Toothpaste and acne

    I really really have to recommend bentonite or rhassoul clay. I just heard about these last week and got some rhassoul clay, WOW there was an amazing difference from the very first time. They're extremely good at drawing out impurities. http://www.amaloils.com/Moroccan-Rhassoul-Clay

    Best beauty decision you've made?

    I've had very bad skin for half my life. I only recently discovered this is because I'm WAY more sensitive than I thought I was. I didn't know your skin was NOT supposed to be puffy and red after washing it, it was just such a normal thing for me. I stopped using chemical products and switched...

    Toothpaste and acne

    I tried it. It's supposed to be drying, but I don't recall noticing a huge difference, maybe a little bit. I've been having some very frustrating skin issues for a long time now, and last week I got desperate and started considering a dermatologist. In a last effort, I asked my friend who is an...

    How many colors have you dyed your hair?

    So many. My hair is naturally dark blonde, and I had it highlighted starting when I was 13. When I moved in with my dad I did it white, which faded to yellow, then back to blonde, then auburn, dark auburn, red, black cherry, black, green, blue, then back to red (at my dad's insistence), then it...

    do you wash your hair everyday?

    I wash every 5-7 days, and I use baking soda instead of shampoo. Best thing I ever did!

    1930s Vanity and China Cabinet for an Elegant Boudoir

    I just became amazingly lucky. My parents have just downsized out of their condo into a smaller home, and had no room to bring along with them the 1930s art deco vanity and cabinet that have been in the family for many years. The china cabinet was found in the *garbage* of all places, which I...

    Hair Color Advice?

    I tend to associate pink with scene teenagers, which is absolutely not my thing in the least, so in a general sense I hate it. Somehow though, I do like it on myself. I only found out when I once dyed it pink by accident while I was still doing the red thing lol. I suppose there's just a lack of...

    Hair Color Advice?

    Thanks! I'm even starting to wonder if maybe I would be ok with blonde, and should experiment with growing my roots. It sure would be less maintenance, and would be easy to cover up if I don't like it. Blond with pink ombre? None of the examples I look up are pretty to me, and yet neither is...

    Hair Color Advice?

    Ack, yeah. I would FEEL happiest with black or darkest brown (when my makeup is done the black can look really pretty, but on that note - Ever feel like when your hair is intensely colored your face has a hard time keeping up and you feel like it looks awful??) but I don't want to NEED makeup to...

    Hair Color Advice?

    My natural color is dark blond. I've had red hair for the last 8-9 years, and being completely over it I finally dyed it pink with black ombre on the bottom half last winter. It's very pretty, but I'm feeling off, not me. I'm so conflicted about this because my current shade, which I always mix...

    I give up!

    I know what you mean! My first day sets are HORRIBLE lately. I'm not sure why, but it comes out half limp, half frizz ball. The first day is always a write off, at best I can salvage it with hot rollers. I've come to expect this so if I have an event to go to I'll make sure to set my hair two...

    Elastic Headband Curls

    I've been doing this for the last 3 days and I LOVE it so much. It is admittedly not the least bit vintage, but I really hate having straight hair and this is a super quick way to remedy that. This is from today. It was destroyed as soon as I left the house from high humidity :(

    Perm rods?

    I just ordered some perm rods from Sally online, thinking I could have the look of pin curls in less time. I must have got the size wrong because they're TINY, 3mm in the middle and 6mm on each end. And this makes them so fiddly they're actually more difficult than pin curls. Have any of you...

    What motivates you to do your beauty everyday? Lately I cant find any motivation!

    One thing among others that motivates me is my blogging. I've been writing a growing number of hair posts over the years and I love writing and documenting what happens as I learn new things. At the moment I'm documenting how a pin curl set holds up compared to a roller set to show if and why...

    Show us your hair do's....

    I decided to try out the small side of the sculpture pin curler, and I really like the results! I was afraid I would end up with a fro but I think it's super cute. It draw up a LOT. My hair is a few inches past my shoulders and I got his

    Show us your hair do's....

    I tried doubling rollers and while it looks totally perfect, it's hell to sleep on. I do use large pin curls to maintain the set in the following nights but to create the set in the first place that just never seems to work unless I do standard tiny ones. Everything would just come out straight...

    Q for ladies who shampoo less than daily

    My hair is the same as yours, super fine and oily. Over the years I stretched my shampooings out to every week, but just barely. It started to get greasy on day 4 and was desperate for a wash on day 7. Since quitting shampoo has re-calibrated my scalp (its not overcompensating from being...
