TV and print advertisements are loaded with product promotion in the beauty industry as it has to be – how else are we going to learn about the latest and greatest mascara and dark spot corrector? Because hair is our greatest accessory, hair products are equally important, each promising to do something great for our coifs like provide better nourishment, shiny hair and prevention of split ends.We can pretty much gauge which make- up products complement our deeper hued skin tone, but hair products can take a bit more research.

Today’s hair care market is saturated with styling tools and remedies guaranteed to revitalize dull, lifeless hair; and interestingly enough the products offering and delivering some of the best results are products made by and for our European brothers and sisters. There is no doubt that some of my best-tressed sister girls rely on some of these hair care staples:

Hey girls! Hoje resolvi fazer um column um pouquinho diferente. Estamos no verão e sei que infelizmente graças a visão que a mídia entre outros mecanismos incutem na nossa mente, temos um estereótipo de beleza surreal e praticamente impossível de se alcançar. Por isso, decidi mostrar aqui sem o intuito de difamar ou zombar, mas sim de informar e mostrar as coisas como elas REALMENTE SÃO. E não o que vemos em revistas, sites, ou TV. Corpos perfeitos totalmente chapados e rechapados transbordando Photoshop. Já cansei de ouvir e ver meninas cool novinhas e lindas mega frustradas com esse tipo de pensamento: ” Meu deus, não posso usar biquíni ou abbreviate nesse calor FROM HELL por que se não vai aparecer minhas celulites…” Ninguém tem celulite? Ter celulite é tão accustomed quanto respirar e esse padrão estúpido que nos é imposto tem que ser banido! Por isso então, aqui vai uma seleção de fotos das mais leeendas e divas famosas do world, pra nos provarem que é...

The new study found that both men and women both dream about sex, but men have it on their unconscious minds a little more often.   The survey lists 56 dream themes, including falling, floating, being chased, snakes, swimming, flooding and losing your teeth, the New York Daily News reported.
