DIY Foot Scrubs
Feet are in full fashion come summer. If you’re not flaunting your feet in sandals, then chances are you’re walking around the beach barefoot.

Summer Hair Repair
I find that my scalp becomes excessively more oily yet my hair more dry during the summer season. I chalk this up to humidity and product build-up (scalp oiliness) mixed with sun and salt water (dry ends) – a deathly combination for your strands. So, every Sunday night, I like to do a little Rx on my hair and scalp.

Bathing Beauty: Sarah Howard
Perhaps the question I am asked the most is “what are your favorite products?” That’s like asking someone who works at Willy Wonka what is his favorite candy – next to impossible to answer. As a beauty writer, I am constantly testing new products so I have a new favorite every few days. For example, my love for mascara is a constant, but the mascara I use is ever-changing. I go from high-end to drugstore back to high-end — and I’ve found many that are must-haves!
The perfect collection for these humid summer days. Oil, be gone! With Kiehl’s new Ultra Facial Oil-Free Collection even the oiliest of skin types will stay shine-free all day long.

INSPIRATION: Karen Elson
As far as redheads go, there are few I find sexier than Karen Elson. Perhaps it’s the hyper-vibrant fire engine red mane, or the sky blue eyes. Maybe it’s her pale skin that contrasts so beautifully against the red of her hair (reminding me of a character out of Twilight) or those uncharacteristically thin and undefined eyebrows that give her an other-worldly facade. Whatever it is, I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it’s not classic beauty yet I’m totally drawn to it.

Annual Tips For Cooling Off
It’s so hot, I’m sweating in my dreams. Literally. I can’t escape this heat wave even in my sleep. I want to stick my body into a refrigerator and not come out until the sun goes down. But, alas, if it were snowing I’d be complaining too so, I guess when it comes to the weather, the weather really can never win.

Trend Alert: Rainbow Ombre
Ombre has been the rage for quite some time now. If you’re still not in the know, here’s a quick recap: ombre is a hair coloring technique when you lighten just the tips (ends) of your hair and keep the roots darker (more natural). Celebs like Jessica Biel, Alex Chung and Rachel Bilson have made ombre very popular among the Hollywood and trendsetter sets.
