To create a Dutch Braid, first, detangle your hair, then divide it vertically. You can use a rat-tail hair comb to divide your hair. Leave one part of your hair untied and tie the other half with a hair clutch. This open section will be the first part to be braided. Continue braiding until all your hair is braided. Repeat this process with the other half of your hair. Dutch Braid: If you want to create a unique hairstyle, try the Dutch braid hairstyle. The Dutch braid is an asymmetrical style that features strands of hair forming a knot. It…

It’s been said time and time again that history repeats itself. This is true in many aspects of life but is seen as a particularly steady cycle in the fashion and beauty industries. If you’re old enough to have seen them on their first victory tour, you may have noticed an influx of rather familiar (and very iconic) 90s and early 2000s trends making their grand comeback as of late. In the fashion world, this includes the return of wild animal prints, barely-there camisoles, minibags, and sheer…well, everything. Dark lipliner and colored eyeshadow ruled the makeup scene and the use…

The natural skincare sector is one of the most rapidly expanding beauty industries. There are several benefits to choosing natural skincare over traditional cosmetics, such as avoiding potentially dangerous synthetic ingredients. It’s also a more environmentally responsible solution. Beauty is personal, whether it’s a tried-and-true skincare routine, how often you wash your hair, or the cosmetics you’re interested in. In areas like Scottsdale, the air is dry, and the sun shines brightly. All that dry air and UV exposure may be harmful to your skin. Prolonged contact with these circumstances may cause dry, flaky, itchy skin and cancer. However, a…

People who work in the anatomy and physiology field primarily deal with the body, its functions, and the various parts. Today, there is an array of jobs associated with anatomy and physiology, as these subjects are the basis for therapy, medicine, forensic science, biomedical research, and pharmaceutical industries. Depending on your interest in the field, anatomy and physiology careers will need several years of rigorous study and training and/or a few years of schooling. As is clear from the title, this guide will detail the different jobs in anatomy and physiology. But, before that, we need to understand what these…

Silica (silicon dioxide) is a natural compound found in both the Earth’s crust and the human body. Silica is composed of silicon and oxygen, and it can take different forms and have various uses. In the body it serves many purposes, such as maintaining healthy connective tissue production. As a result, bones, hair and skin benefit greatly from this compound. In fact, beauticians use it in spas, and you can also use it at home as part of your daily routine. If you want to have the ultimate silica experience, you must visit Iceland, specifically the world-famous the Blue Lagoon…

It’s time you got out of the mindset that white button-downs are only for pencil skirts and sales meetings. I’ve long stood by the notion that you can make a button down and jeans look like more than just a button down and jeans if you just put some thought into it. The lowly button down blouse isn’t everyone’s best friend. It can feel stiff or Business Casual and look nothing like the easy, breezy models in the J. Crew catalog that you’re not on purpose (but totally on purpose) dressing like. But white button downs with awesome sleeves and chest details are huge for…

It doesn’t matter what else is happening in fashion—there’s always going to be some version of a prep school trend come September. If you wore a uniform to school, you probably complained bitterly about it, but they can actually be a great source for style inspiration. Just think about the fitted blazers, the classic plaids, and the shiny loafers. While the prep school fashion trend can be great, you don’t want to look like you’re wearing a school uniform when you passed your last math class ages ago. You want to channel prep school style; you don’t want to look like you’re ready for…

Rules are meant to be broken, especially when it comes to fashion. These are the style rules that you should ignore. Sometimes the rules are meant to be broken. While there are definitely some rules you should obey, such as those involving vehicles and private property, there are others that you should take with a grain of salt. So-called fashion rules are one category that you shouldn’t be too concerned about. Some of them are valid, like dressing for the weather–no one wants frostbitten feet–but some are a bit ridiculous. See not wearing white after Labor Day. Haven’t the rule-makers heard of winter white?…

Mixing prints and patterns is a total fashion do–it just takes a little while to learn how to do it the right way. Anyone who’s ever tried her hand at mixing prints knows that it’s surprisingly difficult. Something that we did accidentally as kids (I swear, one of my favorite outfits growing up consisted of a floral, primary-colored shirt and plaid shorts) is suddenly so much more difficult now that we’re supposed to be real fully-functioning ~*adults*~. There are just so many rules to follow, especially when it comes to prints in the fashion world, that sometimes it seems impossible to figure…

Summer is the season of bold prints. Here’s how to wear patterns without it looking like you’re being overwhelmed by flowers. Summer isn’t just the season of jorts, bright colors, and sandals. It is also the season of bold patterns. Tropical floral prints are always a popular option, but they’re not your only option. You can try a whimsical animal print, stripes, spots, or incorporate a trendy 1970′s pattern into your look. A patterned dress is a classic, but we’ve been seeing a lot of printed pants and coordinating separates. Prints are great for summer, but if you choose the wrong one, you can end up looking like you’re…

We wore these trends all summer but now that it is September, we are ready for some new fashions. Summer is drawing to a close. *Sob* It’s the Labor Day weekend, school is starting again, and the days are already getting shorter. While it is always sad to pack away our flip-flops and maxi dresses until next year, it is nice to take a look at the new fall fashions. As much as we loved our summer outfits, they’ve lost their new appeal after spending months wearing them. We’re ready for fresh pieces and an excuse to go shopping again. These are the fashion…
