hmmm... $3.50 per bottle is NOT free! It's great polish - I just hate that they engage in little tricks like this!

Whole Living commented on olessa pindak's blog post 'FREE Non-Toxic Nail Polish!'

This is awesome -- I almost bought new nail polish last night at the drugstore and now am glad that I got distracted and forgot to go :) Olessa, do you know if Zoya polish stays on well / lasts a long time? I've never used this kind. I tend to…

Creepy. Definitely creepy. Well, most of them. Surgery is a scary thing and usually the outcome is freakier than the original. Don't mess with your face! Beauty is being able to accept yourself and wear it proud (this coming from someone who…

For Beauty's Sake

There's a fascinating photo gallery in The New York Times (posted yesterday) by the photographer Zed Nelson about how our concept of what's beautiful globally is becoming homogenized.

No one tell the cast of the Jersey Shore that I said this, but I absolutely think it's fair, haha! Seriously, though I do. In the same way I think taxes on cigarettes are fair. There's no debating it, these habits damage your health and…

It's Here: A Tax on Tanning

According to CNN, a part of the health care bill includes a 10% tax on indoor tanning customers. As an editor who has long been hearing and reading about the connection between skin cancer and indoor tanning from the AAD, dermatologists, and studies, this makes sense to me, in line with a tax on cigarettes.
