    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    I'll definitely try the cold cream approach again, but I'll probably make my own from one of the old recipes. I've been checking out the different brands, and each one of them has something about it that I don't like. For Origins and C.O. Bigelow, there were a bunch of unnecessary and...

    Dress For Success

    I've gotten a few modeling gigs, which is lots of fun. Photographers love my style, and it's convenient that I can do my own hair, makeup and provide a great wardrobe...and the occasional prop! It's also helped me get a job that would have been very difficult to get if not for my style and...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Also, for anyone concerned about mineral oils, I looked up the ingredient on the Skin Deep database. I've always used this website to check the ingredients in my cosmetics. http://cosmeticsdatabase.com/ingredient.php?ingred06=703977&refurl=%2Fwordsearch.php%3Fquery%3Dmineral+oil%26 And...

    "Lazy" Vintage Hair Ideas

    I've got a bob, so on "those days" (...most days), I just blowdry with a round brush, curling my ends under and the front towards my chin. I have long bangs, which I'll either clip in rolls if I'm having amazing hair luck, or I'll bobby pin the bangs to the side. Add a flower or hat, and I'm...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Still looking for mine... I'm saving up for a tube of Dr. Hauschka's, but I might try Besame, since the quality and ethics of the company seem to fit me. I liked the look and feel of the Chanel lipstick my MUA from sunday's photoshoot used on me, but Chanel is listed as one of the top 20...

    Nope, that's turmeric! It's amazing stuff. It helps regulate your hormones, too!

    Cooking Lesson Learned the Hard Way

    Ouch, you poor thing! What a sweet gesture for your husband, though. I don't have any similar cooking experiences, but I have a memorable eating experience (who doesn't?). In India, my group spent a day with a village that was becoming sustainable with their own land and farming. A really...

    Foods I can't find in my present location and regional specialties.

    Eek! It was actually my MUA's from a shoot I did yesterday, but she said it's Chanel -- didn't catch the shade. The lipliner is Anna Sui. The lipstick stayed very well through the day, and I looooved the shade, but Chanel is one of the top 20 "brands of concern" on the EWG's cosmetic safety...

    Foods I can't find in my present location and regional specialties.

    Yay, I love Slow Food! Ever since coming back from Dharamsala, I've been desperately craving Tibetan momos -- they're basically dumplings, but there is something absolutely, addictively AMAZING about them that I just can't put my finger on! I haven't even heard of them in the US...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Ehhh, I don't know what to think about my skin. I tried the cold cream, and my face broke out a bit more (and the day before a photoshoot, too!!). I'm back to my regimen of rotating oil (non-mineral) cleansing with Mychelle cleansers. I think I just need to wait for things to even out. I...

    What's your best beauty/household tip?

    Instead of going for a high-SPF sunscreen, pick a lower SPF and reapply often. The lower SPF sunscreens don't absorb as much into your skin. If you are somehow in a position where you're unable to reapply lipstick during the day, try lipstain with lip balm over it -- lasts all day. I've...

    Hello! I've started posting already, but haven't properly introduced myself! My name is Kaeti and I'm from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I recently turned seventeen and will be attending either the University of New Mexico or New Mexico State this fall. I'm an avid swing-dancer, and a lover of...

    Foods that shouldn't be allowed in your house because you will eat it all

    Women doing mens jobs.

    I've DEFINITELY noticed the gender issues in the art world. I'm sort of a comic nerd, and it is absolutely ridiculous how many amazing female comic artists have been overlooked. Women have been creating comics for as long as men! It's the same in the world of literature. Frustrating...

    What's your best beauty/household tip?

    My at-home necessities are vinegar (check it out! http://www.versatilevinegar.org/usesandtips.html), baking soda, sea salt, lemon juice and essential oils (mostly lavendar and tea tree). I never, EVER use mainstream cleaning products in my house, and the natural brands tend to be so expensive...

    Women doing mens jobs.

    Very nice, ladies! I'm too much of a youngun to qualify for any of the above positions, but I do have one out-of-the-box "female" activity I participate in... I help out at a women's self-defense course taught by my Karate sensei, and after helping the women out with techniques, I take the...
