Now, let me make this clear: when I say "big problems," I don't mean a broken nail or frizzy hair (although those can suck when you've got an important day ahead of you, but let's get a little perspective here). No, I actually mean "big problems," the kind that aren't easily solved and may require professional help.

Being a beauty editor, you would think that my hair would be in excellent shape, right? Ehh, wrong! Actually, a job that necessitates frequent hairstyling, not to mention hair coloring and my sun addiction (which flies in the face of all sane beauty advice, I know) has left my hair in pretty rough shape.

This is not a joke. Nescafe has a new product -- coffee sachets with 200mg of collagen infused in them. At first glance this seems like a great idea, collagen is key to keeping your skin looking young, and what could be easier than getting a daily dose of it with your coffee?

"Excuse me, I have to go powder my nose."

If there's one hair care secret I'd like everyone to know it's this: you don't have to spend a lot of money on shampoo to have healthy hair. True, there are great salon and high-end shampoos out there, like any of these that are more than worth their price. But, for most of us, we can get along just fine using a quality drugstore shampoo.

Does anyone else (OK, anyone over the age of say, 25ish) get really excited when they get carded at a bar? I know I act annoyed, I'm clearly nowhere near 21 anymore, but I'm secretly thrilled at the prospect that someone might think I'm that young. Totally silly, but I can't help it.

Here's a little glimpse into my morning routine:

I was not blessed with much in the boob department, unfortunately, but I'm not about to go under the knife to change the situation. It seems way too extreme for my taste and I don't exactly have a modeling or porn career to justify the expense. And really, there's no need for surgery now that I've found these tricks.

In high school, I pretty much cleaned out the acne section of my local drugstore trying to find a cure for my lovely (ha!) zits. Although I'm sure my lack of patience didn't help much (most dermatologists say you should give acne products a solid month of use to see if they're right for you), I felt like I wasted a fortune and was still left applying a mountain of concealer each day. And really, even an amazing concealer like one of these can only do so much for a face full of zits, you know?

Nothing can ruin your look quicker than dark circles or puffy eyes. There's nothing worse than having someone saying, "You look tired, are you OK?" (Seriously, why do people ask that? No one likes having the fact that they look tired pointed out, can we all just agree on this?)
