Fix Chipped Nail Polish

What could be more annoying than chipping your nails right after a fresh manicure?

Some quick fixes:
For the beginner (or time-deprived): Use a toothpick as your "brush" to dot on polish to the inside of the chip. Then simply allow it to dry.

For the intermediate: Apply polish remover to the pad of one of your fingertips (it's easiest to go with the hand opposite of the one with the chip). Then, using a circular motion, dab the remover-soaked fingertip on the chip to gently smooth it out. Once dry, fill any exposed nail areas with polish. Finish by sweeping on a fresh coat of lacquer over the entire nail to set. Tip: in lieu of using polish remover to diffuse jagged edges, you can always sand over the chip with a nail buffer.

Lastly, a glitter topcoat. Just paint it on right over your chipped polish for an instant fix. The chunkier the glitter, the better this works

You could also add another layer over your fix just to make it look more consistent.

Long Hair Journey #1

Short hair can perfectly frame the face, but when we are bored out of our bob the wait to longer hair can be a long one.

Here are 5 steps that you could take:

1. Adjust your diet.

Start by eating a healthy diet which will provide a mix of protein and nutrients that can improve the condition of your hair. Balanced eating keeps follicles strong and hair from breaking easily.

2. Get smarter about Styling.

Limiting the use of a flat iron to three times a week is best. Also, limit sunlight (as it can strip the hair) and blow drying. Loosen hair ties as they break your hair too.

 3. Try Vitamins and Conditioning Ingredients.

Vitamins such as Biotin and fish oil aid in the production of enzymes and hormones which can help stimulate hair growth. The cleanse-treat-condition formula is designed to push regenerating anti-aging ingredients deeper into the follicle, scalp and hair, which helps prolong the hair’s growth phase.

4. Take It Easy

Because stress can affect hair, Dr. Gerstner recommends weekly deep tissue massages to relax body and mind. “The adrenals pump out extra cortisol when we are stressed, which leads to acne, skin inflammation, and possible hair disorders”.

Static Cling

Static cling means there is an electric charge on your clothes and can cause a silk dress to bunch up on your tights.

Your clothes stick together and it is extremely annoying and unsightly.

Solution 1: Spray a little hairspray on the inside of your clothes.

Solution 2: attach a small safety pin to the inside of your clothes.

 Solution 3: applying lotion or baby powder to your body

Rockstud - why are they so popular?

Every once in a while a revolutionary fashion item is created and a media/shopping frenzie to go along with it. So in 2010, it was
Valentino's Rockstud slingbacks. And they are here to stay.

Most 'it' shoes come with a high heel measuring 4-5 inches and when the Rockstud stepped onto the scene with such a comfortable heel height, well, the ladies snatched them up.

Usually shoes designed with a 2.5 inch heel height are more reserved in nature (not fun or sexy at all), but the Rockstud with its ankle straps and stud embellishment filled a much needed gap in the market.

"Sexy and comfortable. A little bit lady, a little bit badass."

Another thing that makes the Rockstuds so popular are the available options. You can get them in black, white, beige, red, navy, pink, green, yellow,zebra-striped, dove gray with nude, black or self studded trim. Almost anything!

It's expensive. Seriously. You thought spending $600 on a pair of Prada heels was bad? Valentino laughs at $600. But there are lookalikes that may accommodate your pricing range...

It's addictive. Buy one pair and soon enough you'll want another, there is something magical about slipping on a pair of beautiful shoes. So what is the secret behind their success. Probably its the mix of an absolutely classic shoe silhouette (think no platform, elegant classic heel shape, little decorative elements).
Edgy little studs that give the whole thing a young and modern twist.

And maybe the fact that they are Valentino...
