With a new season comes the need to change things up a bit.  A easy way to change your hairstyle is to add bangs.  Bangs (or a fringe) can give you a different look quickly.  Bangs can do almost as much for your face as makeup.  Depending on the cut of the bang, you can give you a younger look or more sultry look. 

Bangs also let you change your look without sacrificing your length.  A short bang with long hair is always in style.  Maybe you like the versatility that a bang gives.  Depending on the length of the bang, you can sometimes push it off to the side, with a clip or hairband.

Some of the different types of bangs; wispy and mess, blunt and sleek, or angled.

Want to give it a try?  Here’s how you can do it yourself at home.

• Wash and dry your hair
• Use a large mirror  -preferrably a bathroom mirror
• Decide what style bang you would like.
• Part the area you want for the bang - don’t pull on hair
• Use a sharp pair of scissors
• Starting from the middle of the bang, begin to cut from the middle of the bang towards the ear, repeat for the other side.
• Try to snip a little at a time, don’t cut big hunks of hair.

 If your unsure of how long you want your bang to be, start off with a very long bang, try it for a while then cut it shorter if you’d like.  You’re going to look so good with these bangs…here’s to a fresh looking you!

The dog days of summer are on the way out and some of the items in your makeup bag should be right behind! 

 You’ve rocked a fabulous look all summer long.  The sun streaked hair, the bronzed cheeks, the glossy lips - you looked cute.  Now its time to get ready for autumn.  I know what you’re thinking - Tiffany, I don’t want to throw away EVERYTHING in my makeup bag, what things can I use into the next season?  What things absolutelyhave to go and what should I add?  Don’t panic, here I am to answer all of your questions.  Lets get started

Toss:

Mascara:  This needs to be replaced every 2 to 3 months.  It gets dry, gets a funky scent and is a breeding ground for bacteria. 

Bright color makeup:  Those bright colors like coral and bright pinks are cute..for the summer.  They don’t translate as well in the fall and winter.  Toss’em

Bronzer:  The shimmery goddess look worked well in summer, but you need a new look for autumn. 

Pastel shade:  Those bumblegum shades of nailpolish and eyeshadow, pretty for summer, no good for autumn Continue Reading >>>

 Dear Tiffany,

As I approach my 32nd birthday, I realize that I have no decent clothes.  I have recently, finally lost all of the baby weight.  Problem is, all the clothes that I had are what a mother in her 30’s should be wearing.  They either require too much upkeep (silk, ironing, delicate fabrics) or are just not appropriate when you are fending off a little one with dirty fingers (v-necks too low, low cut jeans now accentuate the stretch marks or worse, the butt crack etc.)  I used to shop at Ann Taylor, Express,  and the Limited.  What chain stores can I shop in now?  If I have a chain store, then I know, that the fashions there are what to look for elsewhere, and I can get the basics there.    I need help!  I am so tired of dressing like a college student, or worse, wearing out my Old Navy stand ins in just 2 wearings!  (The kid is hard on me, and hard on my clothes)

Dear Hotmama,

First of all congratulations on losing all of your baby weight.  We should all be as lucky.  I understand your wanting to creating a new ‘look’ now that you’re a mom, slim and trim.  Now is the perfect time to do that.  Right now you need a look that is easy and pulled together.   Finding your own style is key to perfecting your look.  Whether your style is classic, earthy, glam or funky there are a few items that will make getting dressed simple.
