Factoring in sustainability when making wedding decisions goes a long way, especially since the wedding industry continues to leave a massive carbon footprint at present. According to the Green Bride Guide, an average wedding produces 400 lbs of garbage and 63 tons of carbon dioxide. A wedding dress is also arguably one of the most unsustainable purchases we can make. We spend a huge amount of money only to wear them once. While this isn’t always a bad idea, choosing to look stunning while being sustainable can be a better option. There are numerous sustainable wedding dress options to choose…

I wanted to up my self-esteem and work towards self-love by finding just one thing that I loved about my body, and then asked my coworkers to do the same. As much as I don’t like to admit this, maintaining positive self-esteem can be daunting for me in the face of things like the Internet or mirrors. Even though my normal brain knows that a great personality (and about a million other things) is much more important than the perfect face or body, sometimes this awful voice in my brain will be like, “Your personality doesn’t matter unless you are…

Hayden Panettiere’s explanation of her Italian tattoo with an extra letter prompted me to ask myself, Is it okay to judge those with misspelled tattoos? Earlier, Ashley reported on Hayden Panettiere’s misspelled tattoo. The phrase “Vivere senza rimpianti” in Italian, which means “Live without regrets” in English, is tattooed on Panettiere’s ribcage as “Vivere senza rimipianti.” She jokes about it and says that she must now literally live with regrets, as she has a phrase in another language that she did not spell correctly permanently on her body. This brought up a question in my head: is it okay to judge others…

I was recently discussing whether couple tattoos were an impractical, stupid idea when I saw that Heidi Klum was getting her Seal tattoo removed. Not too long ago, I was talking to a friend about whether couple tattoos are ridiculously stupid or not. In my mind, I think they are impractical and entirely different than, say, getting a dedicatory tattoo for your mother or your childhood cat, as most — indeed, most! — relationships do end. He, on the other hand, felt that my attitude signified a pessimism toward “true love” and that I shouldn’t be so skeptical about it.…

When it comes to getting dressed in the morning, men have it easy because they keep things simple: Put on a suit. They keep it similarly simple on the question of hugging or shaking hands at work: Shake hands, always. No muss, no fuss. Ladies, we cannot rule the world until we stop hugging at work. Shane Snow, the co-founder of the “storytelling platform” Contently, has written a brief blog post for Medium about the supreme awkwardness of the workplace hug, especially when it involves a man and a woman. When he bumps into a male acquaintance, Snow writes, it’s obvious they’re going…

If you want extra-long lashes, you need to use eyelash primer. Find out what lash primer is and why you need to use it. There is no such thing as having too long eyelashes. If you find that your regular mascara isn’t giving you the long, fluttery lashes that you desire, an eyelash primer will help boost your mascara’s lengthening powers. Eyelash primers are sometimes referred to as “mascara primers” or “lash enhancers,” and all of the names are pretty self-explanatory about what they do–they help you achieve longer and thicker lashes. Think of a lash primer as the base coat for your mascara.…

So, it makes sense there is a huge range of unique beauty products to appeal to each country. I love seeing all of the slightly strange but fascinating beauty inventions, but there is one beauty product that Japanese girls have been obsessing over that continues to cause controversy: eyelid tape. According to the Daily Mail, eyelid tape is now a beauty must-have for many women, but that doesn’t mean everyone is fine…
