Elizabeth's Secret: Vaseline

I remember always seeing a jar of vaseline in my grandmother's medicine cabinet, so for that reason, I've always associated this sticky substance with the elderly. Little did I know, one of the world's most beautiful women, Elizabeth Taylor, was using it to keep her lips and skin plump. With the craze over full pillow -like lips in Hollywood, many starlets have used injections only to leave them looking like a fish. Applying vaseline to your lips throughout the day is like filling your dehydrated body with water. Your lips absorb the moisture and become more hydrated and plump. Elizabeth also applied the vaseline to her face and body each night for the same hydrating effects. Skin will appear more plump and glowing in the morning. However, it will plump whatever areas you apply it to, so avoid putting vaseline under eyes. If you do, the skin under your eyes will look swollen and puffy in the morning. And now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Rain, Rain Go Away....Because Now I'll Have a Bad Hair Day (Hair Solutions in this Crazy City Weather)

As NYC crews worry about cleaning up New York boroughs from the recent violent storms that wreaked havoc on NYC, the superficial part of us can't help but wonder how we could clean up our own appearance on days like this. Our biggest concern: our hair. So just in case you find yourself stuck in one of these hair-raising storms without an umbrella in hand, be prepared. The best waterproof hairstyles are of course a bun, ponytail, or braid. If you braid your hair tight enough, no water will be able to penetrate it. On humid days, avoid using any mousse or wax products, because these products react strongly to the humidity. By using a deep and proper conditioner the night before, it will place a protective layer on your hair for the next rainy day. So watch the forecast for tomorrow! If you see it is going to rain, avoid doing your hair in a style that is unnatural to its shape. Curling straight hair or straightening curly hair will never hold. Anti-frizz and anti-static products are always good to use on your hair even when it's not humid, because rain deprives our hair of the moisture it needs. These products will help to restore the moisture. These tips were provided by a number of different celebrity hair stylists. And now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
