I’m turning 36 in a couple weeks. Over the weekend we had some family members over for dinner, and one of these said family members pointed out how grey I am. He said “Wow, I didn’t realize how grey you are!!” Thanks. Thankyouverymuch. I am grey. Like grey, grey. I know I have more grey than any of my peers, but I try to keep it hidden with monthly root touch-ups.

So anyway, on my monthly trip to Sally’s yesterday, I was standing in the dye aisle, and was looking at all the colors – wondering if I should try something different. I mean, it’s practically my birthday, right? Something new? I’m officially closer to 40 than I am to 30. Not depressing at all, right? I need something fresh, something exciting. I didn’t want to make an appointment, and wait weeks to get in, and drop $100+ on highlights. So I thought to myself…… why can’t I try doing it myself?

I asked the Sally’s employee what I should buy, and he picked out all the products I would need to do ombre highlights myself. I came home and watched 100 You Tube videos on the process, and found that everyone pretty much does it differently. So what you’ll see here is my unpolished, unprofessional and mighty easy way to get ombre highlights yourself.

Do you like how I started the post with the AFTER picture, and not the BEFORE picture? For that bad boy – you’re going to have to follow me after the jump… More »

Every single year I have one good burn. You know, the first burn of the summer. It’s like my right of passage into summer. Every single time I do it, I also have to hear about it from my husband. It just drives him CRAZY! Why do I let myself burn once a year? I don’t know – it’s just always been that way, long as I can remember? I burn once, then not again the whole summer. I don’t think that’s too bad, right?

WRONG. I have got to stop doing this to my skin!! When I saw this alert in my email box this morning – I thought I need to protect myself better – skip that ‘first burn’! I love Aveeno products as well. I trust them to keep me covered (no pun intended)!

Kim Kardashian’s ankles aren’t the only thing swelling on her pregnant body! Her lips are getting out of control!

The pregnant reality star took to Twitter and Instagram to show a picture of her lips, which are gigantic (the closeup doesn’t help).

“My pregnancy lips are outta control #IGuessNotABadProblemToHave,” the 32-year-old shared.

Funny how when your body gets big…. so do your lips.

Looking for something new in the nail polish department? The colors that are selling fast right now are colors such as sea green, burnt orange, and berry red. Here are some of the hottest colors – buy them while you still can!

WINE:

Bordeaux-hued lipsticks were hot on the fall runways, but if you’re hesitant to wear a full berry lip, ease into the trend with a wine colored nail polish. Like the perfect party gift, Essie’s Recessionista ($8; essie.com starting in September) is a one-size-fits-all merlot, while YSL’s Rouge Expressioniste ($25; yslbeautyus.com) and German-icure by OPI ($8.50; opi.com for locations) mirror a well-aged pinot noir.

GREEN:

Dark emerald shades like Estée Lauder’s Viper ($20; esteelauder.com), LCN’s New York Beat ($7.50; lcnusa.com starting in September), and Nicole by OPI’s For Gold Times Sake ($7; target.com) put a literal meaning to the term “green thumb.”

ORANGE:

Pantone’s color of the year gets a touch of warmth with burnt orange lacquers. Sweep on OPI’s Schnapps Out of It ($8.50; opi.com for locations) for a classic crème finish, or use Ciate’s Skinny Dip ($15; sephora.com) and MAC’s Styleseeker ($16; maccosmetics.com starting in late August) if you want to add some multi-dimensional shine.
