You know the saying “It’s not the journey, it’s the destination?” Well, my hair story is a journey. A journey of self-discovery. I know what you might be thinking. What the hell kind of First World feminist, skewed self-awareness and failed attempt at philosophy is that? This piece is about much more than hair. It’s ...
Men! You can be pretty too. I’m sure you know that by now. It’s 2012, after all, and as your burly provider/protector credentials lose value, your value as an object of beauty increases. Nowhere was this more apparent this week than in Milan, where men’s autumn/winter fashions sauntered down all the catwalks under that watchful ...
Long and luscious locks may always come to mind when I reminisce about Barbie, but surely there’s room for a bald version of the popular doll, especially if it’s for a good cause. Two women, whose lives have been greatly affected by cancer (Jane Bingham lost her hair when undergoing chemotherapy treatments and Rebecca Sypin‘s young ...
I really like where Tony Robbins says that we’re all hypnotized to see beauty this one specific way, and it’s true. ~ Gwyneth Paltrow
Having strong European genes has made hair removal one of the biggest challenges in my life. Earning a university degree? Yeah, whatever. It doesn’t compare to the in depth research I’ve done regarding Nair, wax strips, five bladed razors, bleach, shaving creams, and hair removal aftercare. I am still waiting for my tax rebate to ...
Once upon a time in a land far, far away, there was a little brown girl who liked watching Disney movies and reading fairytales. Although she liked to believe that the fairytales were real, the little brown girl knew better than that. You see, this little brown girl was always pretty sensible. She knew that ...
Photoshopping is dangerous. Not only does it show us a false view of reality, it has led to eating disorders in men, women and children. It causes people to compare their bodies to something that doesn’t exist. Fortunately, there may soon be a tool that shows us just how fake photoshopped pictures are. This tool would tell ...
We all know about America’s weight problem. But a new study shows that US men and women are now about 20 pounds heavier than they were two decades ago. They are also farther away from their “ideal weight.” Most sources covering this study look at it from a health angle. Yes, weight gain is unhealthy, ...
Women. Gone are the days when we were obliged to suffocate ourselves with corsets, paint tawdry red cupid’s bows on our lips, stick tassles on our nipples and dance for money. Now that we can read books and go to law school and stuff, we can do all those things for fun. That’s what Dita ...
Oh, evolution. How strangely unfair you can be. A social experiment on female attractiveness proved just how human nature works: the more attractive and sexual a woman is, the more likely she is perceived to be a good mate, leading to suitors and receiving gifts. Caroline was the focal point of the research. It is ...
