Rock the Weave Your Mama Gave You [Ask Tuffy Luv]
I’ve gotten some requests for a hair version of the post I wrote about last week regarding natural-looking makeup. Embrace your natural texture, girl. Thick, thin, curly, wavy, kinky, pin straight — honey, we all need some love.
How to Cut and Style Bangs for Naturally Curly Hair
For years, I wanted bangs. I longed for them. I coveted them. I desired them. But the answer from my hairstylist was always the same: NO. So in 2008, I cut them myself.

And now I’ve found something I love more than him: anything and everything Lush.

VitaminWater Introduces New Low-Calorie Variety
I love vitaminwater. It’s yummy, and the fact that it’s loaded with vitamins makes me feel like I’m doing something good for my body whenever I drink it. However, what I don’t love so much is that the sugar in it that makes it taste so good also makes it a little high in calories.
