6 Ways to Stay Young Looking

When I was a little girl I wanted to look older. Now that I'm in my twenties, each year I pray that Father Time will let my look slip by unscathed by the hands of time. In doing this, I gather tips and tricks from the most gorgeous celebrities I can.


Here is a photo of one of my favorite desperate housewives, Teri Hatcher. I can still remember the days when she used to play Lois Lane on the television version of "Superman." In my opinion, Teri has aged beautifully. For a woman of her age, she still looks hip and hot. However, these two photos below are meant to show Teri when her look makes her appear unintentionally older, and when her look clearly makes her appear younger. Can you tell which is which?

 If you think the first photo doesn't do Teri justice, then you agree with me. There's something about the wild, dark hair and dark makeup that ages this sultry star. The photo on the right appears to have the opposite effect. Teri goes light on the makeup, and even on her hair, and she looks glowing.

Keep reading to find out the six tricks you can use to naturally shave the years off.

Sexy Hair Accessories for Spring

This morning I watched Louis Licari, "Today" contributor and stylist to the stars, talk about the latest hair accessory trends.  As spring is the best time to switch up your style, I had a lot of fun listening to what he had to say.  I think I might even try a few of these!

One of my favorite looks was the head wrap made famous by Rihanna.  This girl made contemporary hair scarves sexy.  Just pull hair up in a bun, wrap a scarf around it, and clip in place.  Play with colors to make your hair or outfit truly pop!

Though Native Americans have known about this beauty secret for centuries, U.S. cosmetic companies have recently started promoting this product in almost everything.

Do you think you know what it is?  Take a guess, and see if you're right!

Beauty Blunder 13: What Is Normal Hair Loss?

Question: Hey Sara, I've recently switched to lighter color sheets, and I've noticed a lot of hair around my pillow when I wake up.  There aren't any chunks on the bed, and my hair doesn't feel different.  I just want to know, what's the normal amount of hair to lose?



Answer: Who knew what lighter sheets could do to a person?  For a while, my boyfriend was concerned with the trail of tresses I left around his room.  "You seem to be losing a lot of hair," he said to me.  Suddenly, I felt like a shedding dog.  "It's normal hair loss," I told him.  "We all lose a bunch of the stuff every day." As he was still unconvinced, I looked around for a handful of his hair, which I did not find, cursed the sheets, gathered my lost strands, and hobbled away like a crazy woman in denial. The truth is,
