It’s springtime, ladies, and that means it’s getting toasty outside. That also means your hair is going to get gross in the heat. If you wear it down, it gets wet and sticky and, if you’ve got curls, frizzy. But what other option do you have? The boring, ugly ponytail?

There has been a lot of relationship news this week, and for once it’s not ALL about Sandra/Jesse and Elin/Tiger. I can’t tell you how relieved I am to read stories about other celebs!00 Not that I wanted to hear about Tiki Barber cheating on his pregnant (with twins) wife with an NBC intern…. in her dorm room. What is wrong with these men?!

I know that all of you out there wash your faces every morning and every night, but do you ever think about the germs and dirt you’re sweeping across those freshly exfoliated cheeks every time you apply your makeup?

Another week, another skank coming out of Jesse James/Tiger Woods’ bedrooms. My god, when is it going to end?! Hopefully most of this news is review for you all by now considering we’ve been covering the same stories for weeks now.

When I first encountered primers, I was skeptical and confused. What is this clear liquid? Why is it so important? Well ladies, this clear liquid is magic and it is important.

Don’t waste your time in the grocery store checkout line staring at last week’s gossip (use it to stare that the other odd things they’ve got hanging up there….foot file? Next to the food? Ew). Here’s your gossip cheat sheet of the week: the biggest Hollywood stories and, just for good measure, a little pinch of not-so-big Hollywood stories.

Normally, I don’t get really hyped up about drugstore brands because they don’t meet my high beauty standards. But I guess it’s true that there’s a first for everything because I’ve got a new drugstore obsession: Soap And Glory. The pink vintage packaging caught my eye at Target a few weeks ago, and I’ve been in love ever since.

If you’re not a huge gossiper/have a subscription to every tabloid/read the gossip blogs religiously/understand the issue that is Suri Cruise’s choice in footwear, it’s hard to understand what all your crazy, celebrity-obsessed friends are talking about. I mean, it’s hard enough to tell the Jonas Brothers apart – how does anyone keep up with Britney Spears’ relationship status (are they on? off? on? is she shaving her head again?!)?

It’s 8am and you stumble into your bathroom only to look in the mirror, horrified at how sick you look! You can’t miss any more classes (damn you hangovers for making me take an absence when now I really need it), but you also can’t show your face in public looking like this.

It’s time to start preparing your beauty arsenal for SB 2010. And there’s a lot to think about. You want to make sure not to bring too much (you don’t want to be “that girl” with a whole separate duffel bag for her beauty supplies), but you also want to bring your cheaper products in case Boozy Suzy turns into a kleptomaniac.
