It's finally warming up--and that's means keeping your body smooth and hairless. But who honestly has time (or money) to be booking wax appointments left and right at your local spa? I sure don't! Luckily, there are a ton of hair removal products out there that can get the job done and all at some pretty affordable prices. Check out a few of my favorites that won't cost you more than 10 bucks a pop!

Mi abuelita siempre me enseñó que mucho maquillaje te hacía lucir barata. Así que naturalmente, mi mamá y yo crecimos con la idea de que usar mucho de algo nos hacía ver como payasos.

Sin embargo, lo que si usamos es polvo bronceador. Sobre todo redescubrí sus maravillas, ahora que llevo hibernando más de 6 meses en mi departamento en Nueva York y mis días bajo el sol mexicano han terminado, luzco cero sexy con mi piel pálida.

Curly Q: My hair is naturally curly, but I really like to  wear it straight from time to time. How can I prevent heat styling from damaging my curls?

I'll admit, even though I was born with a head full of curly hair, I have my days (sometimes even months) where I'd just rather wear it straight. Most non-curlies don't get it, but the truth is sometimes I just want a change. You know, like a non-permanent change that requires a little less primping and maintenance in the morning.

And hey, just like straight-haired chicas like to pull out the curling iron every here and there, we like to occasionally blow-out or flat-iron our tresses. But I must warn you ladies, if not done correctly, with time you can wind up with some serious heat damage that can totally ruin your curl pattern. Believe me, I've been there!

Even though it's been getting warmer outside, I've haven't been leaving my house without making sure to fully cover my face in foundation and concealer and no, it's not because I enjoy walking around with caked-on makeup. It's been in efforts to cover those super annoying dark spots that have recently been popping up.

Estudios recientes realizados por varios científicos liderados por el Profesor Dongshen Cai del Albert Einstein College of Medicine en EE.UU., comprueban que  hay una región en particular del cerebro humano que parece controlar el proceso de envejecimiento.

Desde hace mucho tiempo estos científicos se vienen cuestionando la posibilidad de que el envejecimiento pudiera ser regulado por un órgano del cuerpo y  ahora se ha establecido, por lo menos en ratones de laboratorio, que se pueden alterar  las señales enviadas por el hipotálamo para incrementar la longevidad y revertir el proceso de envejecimiento, publicó  la edición en línea de Nature, publicación del grupo editorial Nature Publishing Group (NPG).

There's seriously nothing worse than dealing with a bad haircut and let's face it--we've all been there! You know that terrible cut that wound up being inches shorter than you had expected, that's insanely hard to style, or has you feeling depressed anytime you take a glance in the mirror. I recently got one of those and have to admit, the coping process has been taking a lot longer than I had anticipated. But it's also taught me that a bad chop doesn't have to be the end of the world. There are definitely ways to save your strand sanity without having to chop it all off and start from scratch.

Just because it's getting warmer, doesn't mean we need to walk around like we just stepped out of a hot yoga class. Having makeup melting and running down your face has to be the most mortifying thing ever. Let's face it: keeping makeup from melting during the warm, humid months is a battle we often lose.
