A Good Denim Is Hard To Find

When you find a pair of jeans that you love...buy two pairs because you know you will want to wear them all the time.

Treat them with love. Wash them inside out and air dry your denim.

You will probably want to throw them in the dryer every three washes or so, so that they do not get baggy.

ok, so I realize this is a picture of Brad Pitt, but he does have jeans on!

The Ripple Effect

How old are your bras?

Did you know that it is recommended that you replace your bras every six months?

Don't panic.

Depending on how many bras you own and how often you wear them, your time table may vary.

But, if you cant remember the last time you bought a bra...it is time to go shopping!

Here are some tips:

*A well fitted bra will cause back ripples. Try going up a size (when you do that you may need to go down a cup size)

*Look for a bra with a wide back strap, more comfort and less ripple.

*When shopping wear or bring a form fitting tshirt. It is the best was to see if you like the shape your bra is creating.

Dry Rub

Do you know the proper way to exfoliate your body? Thai at Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa in Bethesda Maryland taught me.
Begin with a gentle exfoliater (they have a great product SPA7/52) and rub a small amount on your dry skin. Then rinse. Then moisturize. So simple, so effective.

Get To The Root Of The Problem

Fresh hair cuts and color are essential to looking good. Roots, whether they are dark or even gray are bad.
So, between trips to the salon try NICE AND EASY ROOT TOUCH- UP by Clairol. And if you are blond, in a pinch baby power works too.
