Isla Fisher Had 10 Inches Chopped Off Her Hair, Debuts Your Spring Haircut Inspiration

Isla Fisher is showing us the perfect way to freshen winter-worn hair for spring.

Isla-Fisher-3

The actress revealed a new look at the Los Angeles premiere of The Brothers Grimsby (the latest comedy starring her hubby Sacha Baron Cohen), and we're just a wee bit obsessed. Isla had 10 inches taken off for this mid-length style, which is a nice change from her normally back-grazing cut—and a sprightly length for long-haired girls looking to sport a more spring-ready look for March.

Speaking to People, the actress's hairstylist Adir Abergel said that the cut was his idea, explaining, "I came in, and she was like, 'What do you want to do this time?' And I said, 'Let’s do it—let's chop it off!'"

Looks like Fisher took the risk—and it certainly paid off.

Deceiving Health Foods That Can Sabotage Your Dieting Efforts!

Rethinking your food choices is the first step to losing weight.

This is the time of year many will be attempting to shed that accumulated winter weight. If you’re one of us, then you may want to rethink your food choices because not all healthy foods are as diet-friendly as you may be led to believe. 

A common dieting problem is often in the product’s labeling when you see promises of words such fat-free, sugar-free or salt-free when you shop for groceries. You need to carefully decipher that label of those foods first because they can be misleading.  For example, “fat-free” may have the manufacturer compensating for the missing fat with other ingredients such as an excessive amount of salt or sugar.  The real truth is the FDA allows that product to have 0.5 grams per serving of sugar or fat or less than five calories per serving.  



Be just as careful when you read low-cal, low-salt, low-sugar, low-fat or even natural on a package.  The FDA basically gives manufacturers a free reign in this type of labeling as long as the product does not contain added color, artificial flavors, or synthetic substances.  

Instead of those containers of sweetened regular or Greek yogurt with the fruit or even tastier with those separate sections of yummy toppings to mix in as well, you might want to pick up a plain Greek yogurt and mix some honey and fresh fruit such as berries to make your own.  Add a little flax seed to your mix and your yogurt will be lower calorie than what you were buying along with more antioxidants.

Those bottled fruit smoothies or the ones you stop for when eating out are much higher in calories and sweeteners than you may think if you take the time to read the label.  Try making your own smoothies with fresh fruits and greens. Throw in a tablespoon of chia seeds to your smoothie and you’ll help curb your appetite.  Be sure to soak that tablespoon with three tablespoons of water first before blending or grind the seeds in your coffee grinder first then add to your smoothie.

Granola bars aren’t helpful to your cause. You think eating one will carry you through that need for a candy bar or satisfy your hunger until the next meal, but each has a lot more calories than nutrition. These are loaded with fats, oils, sugars, and salt.  A better alternative is to buy a few packages of almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, dried coconut, and pumpkin seeds to mix your own health mix that you could carry with you in a small plastic lunch bag.  You can even make homemade granola bars.

These are just a few useful suggestions before hitting stores.  After all, when you want to lose weight, it always is better to do it with a friend.  I hope this post leaves you with more insight into those healthier foods and their labeling for better weight loss results.

16 Lip Colors for Spring I’ve Been Loving

When it comes to lips, these are the colors I’ve been favoring. I don’t wear strictly what I want all the time (especially over the last couple of weeks–it’s been heavy on lip products to test), but when I do, these are the ones I consider. (These are only the permanent picks, of course!) 16 […]

Vichy Normaderm Beautifying Anti-Blemish Care Review

Vichy Normaderm Beautifying Anti-Blemish Care Review
Vichy Normaderm Beautifying Anti-Blemish Care Review 
"Anti-blemish while Hydrating" sounds like an oxymoron; most anti-blemish products contain acids which dry up the skin's surface and in doing so, prevent the production of sebum and also fight skin-colonising bacteria, two hits in one ingredient. When I heard of Vichy Normaderm Anti-Blemish Hydrating Care Moisturiser sporting both claims, I knew I had to try it out.

This moisturiser contains LHA, Vichy Thermal Spa Water, Salicylic Acid and Glycolic acid. LHA or β-lipohydroxy acid stimulates the skin in a manner similar but with a weaker effect than retinoids, to renew epidermal cells and the extracellular matrix. Vichy Thermal spa water acts to hydrate the skin, while the latter two ingredients are acids to combat acne.

As a person with combination skin (dry cheeks and oily T-zone), I appreciate applying this product especially on my oily nose. I would avoid applying on the cheeks as it could still cause dryness and flaking. During periods of hormonal stress, I would use it more often to prevent breakouts.

I believe Vichy Normaderm Anti-Blemish Hydrating Care Moisturiser would work well on people with oily skin types. Despite its 'hydrating care' qualities, I would suggest those with dry skin types look further to Vichy's Aqualia Thermal line-up for more hydrating products.

A simple top knot is the perfect solution to tame your bed head for those rushed mornings while still looking put together as you step out the front door. Although it is the easiest updo to pull off for those days when you don’t have the time to coif your blowout or craft your curls, it can also be easily overdone when it has become your go-to hairstyle. For beauty mavens, looking to put a refreshing twist on a traditional top knot, here are a few ways you can update your twisted locks for a chic new updo.

It's Totally Possible That Your Period Is Giving You Bad Hair Days

Add another bullet point to the list of things that aren't so great about that time of the month. Insight from period-tracking app Clue reveals that women's hair starts to look not-so-hot in the week before their period (oily, flat, and stringy were the exact words used).

Don't think it's just PMS-related grumbling either. There's a real connection between heightened progesterone levels and excess sebum production. If you notice your face getting oily in the lead up to getting your period (or if you get cystic acne breakouts around your chin and jawline), it's likely affecting the level of oil production on your scalp too. Major bummer, especially if you already have oily hair to begin with. You also might notice your hair getting greasy during your period, because that's when testosterone—another oil-production trigger—levels are at a high during our cycles. Sigh.

Even if occasional greasiness is unavoidable, it's not a problem you should fight constantly. Read up on the most common hair-washing mistakes to make sure your strands are as healthy and shiny as possible. And if you need a good oil-soaking dry shampoo, we've got the best suggestions for your hair type and texture here.

If you've been waiting to dye your hair a vibrant ROYGBIV hue, the time to try technicolor tresses is now: rainbow hair is officially chic.
