Don't Forget to Trim Your Luscious Locks


Let me tell you I am in desperate need for a hair cut!! I haven't had it cut since the end of February!! It is driving me crazy since it's at the point that my hair won't even keep any style right now...and the humidity around here isn't helping any!! BTW...my sister is a hairstylist and I should not be having a problem of being behind on haircuts but this thing called buying a new home has gotten in the way of my normal beauty routine lately...Ahhh crazy I know. Well I do have my sister coming over tomorrow to give me a little trim...I'm trying to grow out my bangs. Oh and the other day when my sister came by to check out my new house...which she did bring her scissors to cut my hair... but... I got caught up unpacking :( ...anyways this is what she says to me... " Jenny how come every time I see you lately you look horrible!". Thanks sis... Trust me all I want is some free time for a haircut, some sun...(b/c I have never been this pale in my life!!!) a little mani pedi and some major beauty sleep! I'm praying this can all happen this weekend!!

So don't follow my lead with waiting to get your hair cut. It's best to cut your hair frequently. It is better to trim a minimal amount of hair often that it is to cut off a whole lot once a year as your hair stays in healthier condition. You should get a trim at least every 3 months. Plus you avoid split ends that can make hair frizzy!!


Note: The pic is actually from March a couple weeks after I got my haircut but just an example of how crazy my hair is...hehehe
In my "horrible"state I wouldn't post a current pic of me... lol :)

Britney Brunette again...what do you think??


Well it worries me just a bit the Brit went back to Brunette...nothing wrong with Brunette's...I'm a Brunette and proud of it. But usually when Brit goes Brunette it either means she is prego again or she is going crazy! I hope neither...hopefully she just wanted a change. I still love her either way! What do you think of Brit's new do???

Latisse Eyelash treatment...



I keep hearing all this buzz about the new eyelash treatments that claim to help the growth of your eyes lashes...no extensions necessary! They are quite pricey which does make me a bit hesitant to try it but I guess it really could be worth it in the long run. Of course celebs are already all over this new product especially Lattise.

" Jenny McCarthy is a fan of Lattise, the new FDA approved eyelash treatment which makes your lashes 25% longer, 106% fuller and 18% darker in 16 weeks. The treatment costs about $120 for a 30 day supply, but in the end it can save you on expensive mascaras! Lattise is only available through a prescription and it’s even endorsed by Celebrity eyebrow expert, Anastasia."

Checkout their website, for amazing before and after results.

Pump up the volume for a max burn...


The only way I can put in an effective sweat session is if I have my I-pod blaring with all my favorite jams ;)

Well according to studies I'm not the only one this works for...

"Listening to music boosts your endurance...When subjects listened to upbeat music, they exercised 15% longer than when they sweated in silence. Synchronizing with tunes may stimulate euphoria-inducing endorphins and interfere with body signals that communicate fatigue and discomfort to the brain..."

Madonna's sexy work out secrets...


I have mentioned before that Madonna has quite the body for a 50 year old!! I mean she has quite the body for any age...she beats out most 20 somethings!! So to make sure her dance crew for her sticky and sweet tour can keep up with her she sets them up with a trainer to copy some of her favorite work out moves. Here is a peak at some...

1. Resistance Bands - use instead of weights since they are great for traveling. Do five sets of 10-15 reps.

2. Push-ups - 250 push ups a day (Wow 250 a day!! No wonder her arms look like that!!)

3. Chest Press - 5 sets of 5-10

4. Jump Rope - 1 minute on, 1 minute off to elevate heart rate and burn calories.

5. Knee-Highs- Jog in place, lifting your knees as high as possible. Do 10 minute sets, one minute on, one minute off.

Apply lip color like a pro...


"When applying lip color, start at the center of your lips and spread it to the corners- that way most of the tint is concentrated where you want it and will last longer."

Keep Mascara FRESH!


If your mascara thickens when it reaches the end of the tube just place the closed tube in some warm water. This will help to make the mascara thinner. Never add water to the tube because bacteria can form.
