Advanced Beauty: RPZL Hair Extensions Rescue a Bad Haircut

Most people think of hair extensions as a way to add length but there's a whole other plus side to this modern hair wonder. Just as I grew out some overprocessed highlights-- and when my hair not only was back to its natural color but healthy again-- I fell prey to one horrible haircut. Let's be fair to say that my finally shoulder length hair was suddenly hacked into something that could only be described as a soccer mom mullet! If said baby fine soccer mom mullet wasn't hideous enough, the proportion was so off that it was almost impossible to correct. The only possibility was to wait this monstrosity out. Which I did for a couple of anxious months until

Advanced Beauty: Strawberry Laser Lipo shrinks an inch of belly fat at lunch

Think of this as Spanx that's a part of you. Strawberry Laser Lipo treatment is a non-invasive inch-loss and body contouring treatment that shrinks stubborn fat cells. The treatment is fast and mindless as you lay down with space-age looking paddles strapped to you for a 10-20 minute treatment. The unwanted fat is then naturally released from the body via the lymphatic system. It's followed up by a quick session on a vibration plate exercise machine that impressed me so that I instantly looked it up to buy for myself. I tried one session of the recommended eight session Strawberry Laser protocol and lost an inch off my midsection with Carmen Fernandez the Aesthetician at MedSpa 44 in New York. Not bad

Everyday Chic: Chanel styling and makeup you can try on your own!

I just love everything about this everyday chic look from Chanel in Vogue! The article is about Chanel’s global creative makeup and color designer Lucia Pica, pictured in a Chanel jacket, Margaret Howell scarf, and photographed by Daniel Jackson, for Vogue, September 2015. Pica's strong yet casual look is something that you easily master on your own. There's nothing easier to style the right white T-shirt. Top it with your favorite good jacket, add the flirty neckerchief and suddenly your otherwise better than basic jeans are polished and statement making. Now, of course, that bold 90s inspired smoldering dark lipstick adds the edge. Try it! MORE: Quick Tips

Beauty Quick Tip: Never let your lipstick linger

Kisses, not lipstick, should linger... I know it's cool --graphically-- to leave a lingering lip print in a photo... but in real life it's kinda tacky. Looking classy is all about the blot! Here's's what to do: Apply lipstick, blot with a single sheet of tissue, lightly set with face powder. Add a second layer of lipstick or gloss and lightly either blot again OR put your index finger in your mouth and pull out so that your finger "grabs" the extra lipstick. You'll be far more chic than leaving a glob of lipstick on your coffee cup, wineglass or napkin. The other solution is to use a chunky lipstick pencil (I like Nars) or more matte less goopy lipstick to begin with. What's your
