Lululemon CEO Steps Down

Sports and yoga clothing brand Lululemon announced last week that their CEO, Christine Day, is stepping down. Christine was with the company for over five years.

The announcement comes just three months after the company had to recall it’s yoga pants due to an ‘unacceptable level of sheerness’. However, Christine Day insists that the decision to leave Lululemon is her own. Speaking on a conference call to analysts, she said “This was a personal decision of mine,” Day said on the call. “Look, there’s never a perfect time to leave a company that you love. … As the company embarks on that next 10-year vision, the timing’s right to bring in the next person to lead.”


Stop Heat Rash in ti’s Tracks

Does summer mean heat rash for you? Those pesky little red bumps are harmless, but pretty unsightly. If you notice yourself starting to suffer with the rash, then the best thing you can do is simple – cool yourself down!

Getting False Lashes Right

False lashes are adored by celebrities, and they won’t hit the red carpet without them. However, it can be easy to get them wrong. For the best look,you want your lashes to be enhanced and look natural, not be over the top or too obvious. Stick to light, feathery lashes, and if you want a lot of length then opt for lashes which are longer towards the outer corner but still your natural length in the middle – this creates a gorgeous, natural yet show stopping look.


Break our the Braids on Holiday

Looking after your hair on holiday can be a bit of a drag, particularly if you are going somewhere hot. It can stick to your face and get in the way, making you feel even warmer. One of my tips is to add a side braid into the hair – it keeps it away from your face and looks chic, while being incredible low maintenance.

Could Dairy be Causing your Acne?

Did you know that dairy aggravates acne? Many people have found that by cutting out milk, soft cheese, cream and ice cream their acne improves. Some people also need to cut out yoghurt, but many find that the balance of good bacteria means that their skin can handle it. It’s thought that dairy products make acne worse because of their effect on hormones. Why don’t you try cutting it out for a week and see if your skin improves, if you’re an acne sufferer?


Give long hair beachy waves, without heat

Soft, beachy waves are always a big hair trend in summer. However, a lot of styling can damage your hair, and long hair tends to be drier anyway as it’s older than short hair. So, if you want soft waves this season then try misting it with a spray leave in conditioner before bed, then wrapping it into a top knot – you could even do two top knots if your hair is very thick. In the morning, let down your hair for gorgeous waves.


One Direction Launches a Fragrance

Just when you think that the trend for celebrity fragrances is over, another one is launched. This time it’s boy band One Direction who are releasing a scent. Particularly loved by teen girls, One Direction will no doubt be hoping that the fragrance will be at the top of birthday and Christmas lists this year. The fragrance has notes of pink grapefruit, berries, jasmine petals, and musk,and will be called ‘Our Moment’.


A Close Shave

Do you feel like you could get a closer shave than you are getting? The answer could be in exfoliating. Make sure you have a warm bath or shower before you shave and exfoliate with a scrub or glycolic exfoliant. This gets rid of dead skin, so that more of the hair is exposed – meaning you can shave more of it of. The warmth of the water will also soften the hair, making it easier to get a nice close shave. Your legs will be summer ready in no time!
