One of my favorite shows of all time is "Jeopardy". (Prefer "Dancing With The Stars"? Then check out the best and worst hairstyles from the show here.) Yes, I'm aware that I just outed myself as a total nerd. I feel self-satisfied when I know lots of the answers -- or questions rather -- even if it is the College Edition. I feel extra smug when I get things right that the contestants don't know, especially when it's the final answer.

Bridal season is upon us. So far I've been invited to three weddings -- and counting -- and I'm in one (always a bridesmaid …). Is it just me, or have brides been getting prettier and prettier (well, except for this chick who had a wedding day hair nightmare -- read about it here)?

Throughout awards season, the only show I really give a hoot about is the Academy Awards (see if our Oscar hairstyle predictions came true -- we sure didn't predict the fate of Sandra Bullock's marriage though … ). Not only do I give a hoot about the Oscars, but I make a point to prepare for them by seeing as many academy-nominated films as possible beforehand (I covet "Inglourious Basterds" Diane Kruger's tousled waves, seen in this photo). And then on the night of the show, I print out ballots for pre-voting and betting (yes, I'm that serious about it) with my friends. This year -- and always -- there were the shoo-ins mixed with the unexpected.

Isn't it bizarre that as women we feel sub-human with an unkempt bikini line and bare toenails? When I'm in yoga class (stress-squashing equals better skin as these expert tips prove) and haven't gotten a pedicure in a while, I feel really self-conscious about how gnarly my toes look lacking color -- I know, I know, that's an un-yogic thing to worry about. As for nail color, I get so accustomed to having a fun splash of color on my nails that when it starts to chip and I have to go au natural, I feel like I'm half naked.

A friend of mine has nailed the smoky eye look. Well, I should preface that by letting you know that she's also drop dead gorgeous (like the super pretty celebs in this spring hair and makeup photo gallery) and has really big, round eyes. Nonetheless, her eye makeup isn't overly perfect, which makes it that much more enviable. It instead has an effortless, semi-smudgy, aloof-cool look to it (see aloof-cool master Chloë Sevigny's latest 'do). So of course it makes me want to attempt the smoky eye look too.

My fantasy haircut (hey, don't laugh -- guys have fantasy football) is a dark, wiggy bob -- if you don't know what a wiggy bob looks like, scope it out here. I don't have the balls to do it -- yet -- because my hair is currently super long and blonde, so that would require a gigantic leap to the other end of the hairstyle spectrum. To satisfy my boredom in the interim, last October I bought a short, brunette wig with blunt bangs (see the best celeb fringe here), and built my flapper girl Halloween costume around it. And though I've been so tempted to rock the wig on a night out, I haven't had the guts to actually do it. So on a day-to-day basis, I try to at least style my hair differently. I go from braids to buns, headbands to half-up styles, straight to wavy, etc. (I stole most of the looks from this photo gallery of 16 New Quick Hairstyles to Try).

My introduction to beauty began when, at three years old, my big sis dressed me up as Cyndi Lauper -- she got to be Madonna, of course, but that's another story. She decorated my face with blue eyeshadow, overly-rouged cheeks, fire-engine red lips and a hair 'do shellacked with Aqua Net. You can only imagine how scary I looked (kinda like the celebs' on this makeup don'ts list). It was obviously long before I started experimenting with an everyday, no-makeup makeup look (learn how to master it here) and creating normal non-updo 'dos with my mom's hairspray.

I'm kind of OCD -- in general -- but especially when it comes to taking care of my skin. I literally give myself a mini-facial each night before I go to bed by washing, toning and using anti-aging creams galore (like these winning anti-aging serums). A little pathetic, I know. I also try to resist the urge to pick and I stay out of the sun, and I even follow these steps to get a flawless face. But I still kinda freak out that I should be doing more to slow the inevitable process of aging.

I'm pretty conservative when it comes to shopping, but it somehow usually backfires on me. Case in point: I don't buy shoes often, so when I do finally allow myself to shop for them, I'll buy two (or six!) pairs at once. The same is true for makeup -- I'll wear my mascara (see a list of The Best Mascaras. Ever. here) until it's dry and crusty, but when I finally hit the makeup counter I splurge on a whole new cosmetic wardrobe from my lashes to my lips (take this quiz to discover your best makeup colors).
