How to Treat Blackheads: 5 Dos and Don’ts
Blackheads can make you feel like a teenager all over again, but fortunately these blemishes are treatable and temporary. Also known as “open comedones,” blackheads result from excess oil that becomes trapped in pores beneath the skin’s surface. Managing blackheads can be as simple as practicing good skin care through exfoliation, topical treatments and avoiding further irritation. 1.

When you do exfoliate, cleanse and wash your face, use a light touch and avoid harsh scrubbing. Pick an exfoliator that’s best suited for your skin type. Physical exfoliators—like…

How to Turn an Apple into a Mini Salted Caramel Apple Pie
Ahh, apple pie. Childhood. Warmth. Love. America. Making the dough from scratch, rolling it out, putting it in a pie dish, weaving a perfect lattice crust just like our ancestors did in their olden-timey cabins. Kind of quaint, right? Forget that. It’s 2018, and we have DVRs to catch up on. That’s where we come in. This pie is so easy, you will be basking in its riches in 30 minutes flat. Here’s the secret: Make your pie in the apple.

You deserve three,” the signs read. Amabile won over The Bachelorette viewers…
The Art of Perfume Delivery Reimagined With Library of Flowers
Library of Flowers Field & Flowers Parfum Creme Perfume in cream form. How scent-sorily imaginative. In all my years of perfume collecting/fragrance hoarding (seriously, I have a bottle of YSL Paris I’ve had since roughly 1991), I can’t remember ever encountering anything quite like this before. It’s called Perfumed Creme by Library of Flowers, and instead of spraying a liquid or rubbing a solid on your skin, you work the mildly moisturizing creams into your skin like…mild moisturizers. The fragrance is released slowly throughout the day, with the intensity based on the amount you use. Work a small dollop into your skin for a light aroma, or turn up…
Short Hair Don’t Care
So, um…this happened! So much for keeping it long. El Hub is super cranky, LOL! You know boys and long hair… Whatevs, he’ll get over it. 🙂 My friend Alis at Fox + Stone salon in Corte Madera did a loose a-line razor cut. See how it’s shorter in the back and slightly longer in the front? She kept the same base color, a warm chocolate, and added copper highlights. I’m really happy with how it turned out! Even though I love having long hair, my head feels so much lighter now. I no longer feel like I’m wearing a 10-pound hat. And if I get bored, I’ll just…
