The Best, Expert-Approved Bob Haircut for Every Head Shape

Image
One of the most simple, yet equally nerve-wracking experiences someone can subject themselves to is a haircut; especially when they want to find the best bob haircut for their head shape . Because while a dramatic big chop may be tame for some, cutting even one or two inches of dead ends could be terrifying to the other. Of course, making the appointment is easy enough, but how about finding someone you can actually trust with your tresses at a price that won’t require you emptying your savings account? Talk about anxiety. And what about the process of after-care? Beyond extending those salon-fresh aura days or even weeks after the deed is done, there’s also putting together a regimen that’ll not only mesh with your texture and keep it healthy but motivate you to constantly freshen-up your new look, too. Seriously, it can be enough to send anyone running in the opposite direction if they haven’t already taken the plunge. Plus, if you thought the process got any easier with a look as ...

The Working Actress’ Guide to Fast ‘No Makeup’ Makeup That Actually Stays Put

Image
Makeup for auditions can get a little tricky. First, you have to consider the character. That might seem obvious, but you really need to dive deep, read the sides and script (if they’re provided), and get as much information as possible. Let’s say you’re going in for a cop role (yesss, let’s get our SVU on!). You probably want the best “no makeup” makeup in lieu of a full beat. After all, this is a badass cop bustin’ down doors to secret drug labs and having contentious debates with lawyers in the courtroom: I OBJECT!!! Sorry…got a little excited. Back to my point — this cop doesn’t have time to put on three layers of foundation, powder, a cat eye, and a red lip. To be honest, when do any of us have time for an extensive routine outside of special occasions? We’ve got places to go and people to see, right? For example, here’s how my morning routine usually goes: INT. DANNY’S BEDROOM-MORNING Dark. Messy. A 7am alarm goes off. DANNY (Yawns) Is it really already time to get up?! I...

What Ganja Yoga Taught Me About Cannabis and the Questionable Benefits of CBD

Image
Rich moments are etched into my psyche from ventures with cannabis-enhanced yoga. I was first introduced to the trend at Tmrw.Tday —a part wellness retreat, part music and culture festival packaged as a week of relaxation on the 7-mile beach stretch in Negril Jamaica. The class, “ganja yoga,” stuck out on my itinerary essentially because I never imagined professionally intertwining the two. I haven’t delved into the activity in years, excluding a few puff-puff-passes that occasionally fall into my social orbit. “Why not?,” I initially thought. Ironically, it’s the only yoga class I can recollect after a year, including the sound of the waves, the wind, and the mist of rain spotting my face. (There was a tropical storm hovering over Woodstock , the tiki beach bar where we practiced.)I can recall my senses heightening to great extents— the motion of movements from downward dog to warrior pose, much more graceful than ever before. The community force of oneness was at large and to th...

Image
Wow, what a year. For better or for worse, 2019 came at us with great speed and intensity—much like your December 2019 horoscope . If you thought 2019 was done turning the world upside-down, then you’re as wrong as that time I thought it would be smart to go drunk paddle boarding with my very non-waterproof phone, despite several explicit warnings from my friends  not to. This month’s horoscope is going to be big for all the signs. Not only will it be an end of the year wrap-up, this December horoscope will also give us insight into the new year and all of its Big Dick 2020 Energy.
