Beauty Tip - Blow Out
There has never been a Victoria's Secret Angel with limp and lifeless hair. Blow out your hair like a pro and get the most volume and swing you can. 1) Apply a volumizing product to your roots. Just your roots.
2) Blow your hair 90% dry while flipping it upside down.
3) Section off a little of your hair at the crown of your head. Clip the rest back and out of the way.
4) Use a large ceramic round brush to pull your hair taught while you dry it the rest of the way. Wrap 1-2 inch sections around a medium to large velcro roller and secure it.
5) Repeat section by section from the crown of your head to the nape of your neck.
6) Set with a comb-through hairspray like this one.
7) Let hair completely cool while you apply your makeup, undo the rollers and comb through.
See? Amazing volume! Now go put on your highest heels and turn some heads!

Beauty Tip - The Duct Tape Bra
Big hair- Check.
Big eyes - Check.
Big cleavage - read on.
Some women are genetically or surgically blessed. Some (and I mean me) are not so much. Here are my two favorite tips for bringing on the boobage. Warning... men will lose the power of speech.
Tip #1: Remember the contouring for your face? Same concept here. Get a non-shimmer bronzer in a stay-put liquid or a good powder. Brush it in the valley between your breasts. Now take a bit of shimmering powder (I know... I'm breaking my own rule here) and dust it on the roundest part of your breasts. Put on a great push-up bra and your set!
Tip #2: This is for the truly dedicated because it CAN hurt a bit at the end of the night. All of my college friends have done this at some point and let me tell you, the results are astounding. The only thing you need? Yup. Duct tape. Dust your nipples with talc or baby powder or protect them with a cotton pad. You DO NOT want to pull duct tape off your nipples. Using a strip about 12 inches long, stick it to the edge of your left breast. Squeeze your right breast toward it and tape them into the position of cleavage you want. Then use a second and third strip where you would have underwiring in a bra. Now here is the important part. Wear a well-padded or firmly lined bra so that you don't have odd-shaped breasts under your clothes. At the end of the night remove very carefully. If it hurts, use a little baby oil to dissolve the adhesive as you pull.

Beauty blunders... we all make them. Hopefully we learn and move on. Whether it's a dye-job gone awry or parachute pants, I know you've got one. What was your worst beauty blunder?
Mine? I've had a few. Bowl cuts, bad perms, clothes that were either way too big or way too small. But this may be the worst. My hubby and I were invited to a friend's Christmas Tacky Sweater Party. Instead of just a tacky sweater, I wore tacky hair, a tacky shirt and a tacky sweater. CJ didn't even want to be seen in the car with me on the way to the party. So when in doubt, scale back and remember that there are ALWAYS cameras present when you look your worst.
