Breakout Stars: how celebs treat emergency acne situations
Pimples are never a good thing. However dealing with an acne breakout might perhaps be the one instance where it is far easier to be a regular person than a celebrity. If you suffer from a breakout– you probably feel more self-conscious than usual at work and during social functions, but you know it will eventually pass. If you’re a celebrity suffering from a breakout– you have millions of people anxiously waiting to pass judgement on your current appearance via the internet, magazines, and big-screen. (Not to mention the millions of dollars at stake if you’re in the middle of a work production.) A celebrity breakout is not something the public...
Read MoreClarisonic: Don’t forget to brush your face?
The Clarisonic is just like an electric tooth-brush… but for your face. (It actually is made by the same company that invented the Sonicare toothbrush.) Consisting of an electronic spinning brush, the Clarisonic Skin Cleansing System uses revolving brush bristles to uniformly exfoliate your skin. It feels good, massages your skin, and when you are done– your face feels smoother and because of the massaging nature– you are left with skin that is slightly glowing. (Depending on the Clarisonic model you have, there are even different brush attachments so that you can exfoliate your various body parts in addition to your face.) Promising to remove 6x more...

Skin care sales-reps make “calls” on us ALL the time, and before they come out with their pitch, they usually like to ask us a bunch of questions about our business. This is advantageous to them for two reasons; one– they get to try and butter us up by seeming so interested in our business, and two– through this they are able to glean info from us about which of their products/services we would be the most likely to buy. Often the sales-reps will come in with inaccurate, pre-conceived notions about our business. The most glaring of these misconceptions is their idea of what our clientele’s men to women ratio is. They just about fall out of...
Read MoreHealth secrets revealed by your nails
The other day I was getting a manicure, and as soon as the old polish was removed, my dramatic sister leaned over from her chair to inspect my naked nails. “Omg, you have nail fungus!” she shrieked, pointing at the white spots I had dotting some of my nails. “No I don’t!” I said quietly, but firmly, as I looked around to see how many people had heard her over-dramatization about my nails. A few glances did meet mine, but it didn’t seem like anyone else considered my white-spots to be the huge deal that my sister did. “Yes you do,” she insisted. “Those white spots are nail fungus! Ewww!” The poor technician stuck...
Read MoreWas Viviscal Rapunzel’s secret?
Ever wonder why Disney princesses always have super long, thick, lustrous hair? (And even though it’s just a cartoon– somehow you just know that the princess’s hair is super silky, soft, and shiny.) Would a princess with thin, stringy, scraggly hair, always still manage to snag the most handsome prince in the world? Long, thick hair is a symbol of beauty. While in reality, Disney princesses are just drawings for children… consider instead their real-life counter-parts: the super-models of Victoria’s Secret. Giselle Bundchen, Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima, Marissa Miller, and Miranda Kerr are all real-life women, whom are considered the echelon...
