Even though #periodsarenotaninsult (we're looking at you, Donald Trump), there's no getting around the fact that menstrual cramps still suck. So we decided it was high time to review exactly how to get rid of cramps so you can get on with your life.
Headaches are more than just a pain -- they can be completely debilitating. And maybe it sounds dramatic, but if you're one of the 45 million Americans suffering from chronic headaches (most of whom are women, by the way), knowing how to get rid of a headache can vastly improve the quality of your life.
While it's safe to say that giving your diet and workout routine (or lack thereof) a total revamp would undoubtedly lead to a healthier you, it's also safe to assume that a big overhaul is probably unlikely. Who has the time? Or the willpower to completely give up sugar and start jogging six miles a day?
January is a big month for new beauty products -- and that's especially true at your local drugstore. After the stocking stuffers move over to the clearance aisle, the beauty section is restocked with a bevy of new beauty buys.
Beauty products that are as affordable as they are effective? That sounds almost as too-good-to-be-true as a magic weight-loss pill or the fountain of youth.
2015 has been a veritable whirlwind of beauty trends. Thanks to red carpets, runways, and the beauty mecca that is social media, we've seen sensational beauty trends spread faster than Nutella on a warm piece of pumpkin loaf. (Hey, 'tis the season.)
Brows are always at the center of the beauty conversation. The ever-evolving trends breed "brow gurus" like Anastasia and Benefit, as well as new tweezing, waxing and futuristic brow-building technology all the time. Why? Because brows make the single biggest difference in how we look.
Styes feel just about as bad as they look -- and, let's be real, that pimple-like bulge on your eyelid looks pretty terrible. (Tip: Avoid Google image searching "styes," unless you're a masochist.) If you're wondering how to get rid of a stye, you're in luck: We tapped stye expert Gary Heiting, OD, Senior Editor of AllAboutVision.com, to give us the scoop on these nasty eye abscesses.
Let's talk Instagram. Odds are you've got it pulled up on your phone right now. On average, people spend just over 21 minutes every day scrolling through their college friends' brunches and favorite celebrities' selfies. And for us beauty gurus and pop culture junkies, Instagram is also where we get a ton of hair and makeup inspiration.
It's five minutes before your alarm is set to go off, but you're already awake and feeling well rested. You leisurely do your makeup and make a healthy breakfast ... before birds braid your hair and you head to work on your traffic-free commute. Yes, you're dreaming. Here's something closer to reality: You hit snooze approximately 1000 times before begrudgingly rolling out of bed and deciding if makeup or breakfast is more important. We feel you.
December. Sure, it's the season of giving, but it's also the season of shopping. And while you're out there crossing names off your gift list, you might as well pick up a thing or two for yourself. After all, the best new beauty products launching this December aren't just holiday gift sets -- there are products you'll want to add to your regular routine, as well.
All right ladies -- it's that time of the year again. Roll up your sleeves, put on your best running shoes and apply some waterproof mascara because Black Friday is upon us. (And if you're a Cyber Monday shopper, get your gel manicure ready.)
Now that it's November, it's safe to say the holidays are right around the corner. And that means one thing: parties. Whether you're attending parties, hosting parties or just watching parties on Netflix, they're a good reason to buy some beauty products. You'll need a new fragrance, a bright lip and a serum to keep you skin looking fresh and dewy. Fortunately, there are plenty of new beauty products launching in November that address all of these concerns and more. From fancy soap to long-lasting blowout cream, scoop up these new beauty products and you're ready to party.
We get it: Sometimes, it's so much easier to just buy a cream or serum that promises magical results, smear it on at the end of the day and hope for the best. While we've got nothing against those products (the proof: our medicine cabinets are stocked with them), they can only do so much. Here, nine low-investment, high-return ways to keep you looking youthful (they're are just as easy as slathering on that miracle serum -- promise).
Halloween costumes: the perfect opportunity to show off just how with it you are. People may judge one another on their ability to keep up with the latest fashion or beauty trends throughout the rest of the year but come October 31, it's your ability to tap into an of-the-moment, entertaining or original Halloween costume idea that determines your relevance, Instagram likes and social standing at any All Hallow's Eve event you attend.
October is a surprisingly busy time for beauty shopping. Stores begin stocking their holiday gift sets, and brands come out with new products to moisturize winter skin. My favorite beauty products launching this October range from wildly luxurious versions of everyday necessities (glamorous muscle gel! A sheet mask made of lace!) to two-in-one time-saving must-haves (brow gel and pencil in one; a blow dryer-brush hybrid). Whether you're shopping for body wash or in need of a major makeover, there are products on this list you'll love.
There are plenty of ways to identify a beauty junkie: She always sports a flawless face, holds an encyclopedic knowledge of every brand and changes her hair and makeup look up as often as her clothes.
Between accepting free samples at the makeup counter and dabbling with dozens of products that promise amazing results, it's no wonder that many women have overflowing makeup bags and crowded bathroom counters. While many of us can easily admit that glitter shadow doesn't qualify as a beauty staple, we sometimes have trouble pinpointing which cosmetics are absolute necessities.
Latina women have a reputation for being gutsy, passionate and full of life -- and these influential figures prove that Latina women are full of wisdom, as well. Growing up as a Latina woman affords one a certain, special perspective -- on beauty, self-acceptance, family and success -- but everyone can learn something valuable from these inspiring quotes from A-list actresses, musicians and other high-powered Latina women.
Hundreds of hair, makeup and nail looks come down the runways of New York Fashion Week, but only a select few emerge as trends. Each season, we go backstage to interview the hairstylists, makeup artists and manicurists to ask them one pressing question: Which looks are going to be the looks come spring?
