How does your city rate for hair and the Fresh Start Women's Foundation makeup class

TotalBeauty.com
The 13 Worst-Hair Cities

These towns have the worst conditions for hair. Is it time for you to call the movers?


We all have bad hair days, but instead of cursing the mighty hair gods and calling in sick, you might want to consider packing your bags. There are a number of factors contributing to frustrating frizz and dried out strands, but as it turns out it, they could all be due to the city you call home. From looking at national averages of humidity/wind/rain/sun, water-hardness, pollution levels and even the number of salons in the area, Totalbeauty.com has located the worst cities for your 'do. Did your city make the list?

See the list


I live in the greater Phoenix area, and around here, most people always look like they've been to the salon before they go out. Either the sun has baked the hairstyle into a permanent position, or everyone is preening before they go out.
Spray in hair sunscreen is a must here in the summer, especially if you color your hair because the sun will strip it in days!
Enjoy the fun info on the beauty bubble and I'll see you soon at the May 4th Fresh Start Women's Foundation Makeup 101 class. Remember, it's $5 to register, you have free childcare available at the center and I always send you off with a goodie bag of products. The catch being, it's what I find in the www.wehelpwomen.com beauty closet. :)

Do they really stay on? Read this real-woman road test


Slicking on a coat of lip color every five minutes lost its allure after junior high. Nowadays, we want color that lasts hours and a product that doesn't suck moisture from our lips. The Total Beauty Squad tested nine contenders to find ones with real staying power -- enough to withstand cocktails and kisses. Find out which products delivered and which disappointed.

Enjoy! I do not like a long lasting lipstick but I do love a stain such as Sephora's house brand, love love love Lorac sheer wash and I'm extremely partial to Benefit's Benetint!
I'm going to buy and try one of Cover Girl's lipstain pens but I remember not liking one from another brand because it deposits too much color in one spot and leaves very little room for blending.

I too, need to follow the recommendations!
**********************************
According to Declan Condron, co-founder of PumpOne, the world’s most advanced iPhone fitness program, “variety in your workout is key, if you have a goal you are trying to reach, keeping your fitness program interesting and varied can help keep motivation up.” Declan is the fitness expert behind PumpOne’s newest iPhone app, FitnessBuilder, which offers over 400 different workouts tailored to every fitness goal imaginable – including getting that perfect bikini-body.

In celebration of the beginning of spring, PumpOne would like to offer one lucky reader a free bikini workout available for download through the iTunes App store. Your winning reader will be given a special code to download PumpOne’s “Bikini Bod Workout.” Declan addresses some of the most common fitness questions here:

What is the most effective way to slim down for summertime?
I recommend an all-round conditioning program that includes strength training, cardio and flexibility training. Depending on the time available, an ideal plan would have three days of strength training, two-three days of cardio, and stretching as often as possible.

How much time do you have to commit to see a difference in your body?
Ideally, you should try to do something everyday. This does not necessarily mean you have to be at the gym at the crack of dawn and workout for hours. By making some smart decisions you can add in exercise in short bouts through the day. For example, let’s say a person goes to the gym three days a week which is typical, and on the other days they do 10 minutes of yoga in the morning before going to work, 10 more minutes of walking the stairs during lunch and 10 more minutes of crunches or something similar when they are watching TV at night. This is an additional 30 minutes of exercise per day that doesn't really interfere with their daily work routines. By adding these short bursts they can really jump start changes in their body composition.

If you only focus on the areas that are going to show in a bathing suit (abs, thighs) will that improve those areas?
Not really, as there is no such thing as "Spot Reduction". Spot reduction refers to the idea that if you do a ton of exercises for a body parts, such as your triceps, you will achieve beautifully sculpted arms with no "wing" fat. This is unfortunately not the case. The best way to lose weight and gain muscle tone is to perform a total body conditioning program, and eat a healthy diet.

What role does diet play in losing 1-2 clothing sizes?
A huge role! You can exercise till the cows come home but if you are eating poorly and unhealthy foods, then all that hard work in the gym is going to be lost. Food is the fuel that the body uses. Give it poor fuel and it will perform poorly. A quick note: When I refer to "diet" I am referring to a healthy daily diet not to caloric restriction for the purpose of weight loss.

What role does drinking alcohol play in losing muscle and adding fat? (i.e., young women on spring break, vacation like to indulge)
Alcohol can play a very detrimental role in losing muscle and gaining weight. First, alcohol is what I would consider empty calories, there is no nutrition value. A 12oz. regular beer contains approx 150 calories and a 4oz. glass of wine contains approx 80-100 calories. Multiply that by however many drinks you typically have a night, and you have a lot of bad calories being consumed. Secondly, alcohol can often by used as fuel when exercising which stops the body from using the preferred fuel – fat. Thirdly, alcohol can have a negative effect on the hormonal changes that occur after exercise restricting the anabolic effects and disrupting muscle growth. It also can increase fluid retention, which leads to bloating.

How quickly can you become “out of shape”? Is it possible to work hard all winter and then in one week go back to your starting point after indulging too much?
You will not become "out of shape" after short periods of inactivity, in fact, taking a week off here and there can actually increase the positive effects of working out hard. The body needs time to recovery from exercises so a little vacation from working out is good. That being said, you can't take too long off or you will start to see a steady decline. It doesn't happen overnight but it will creep up on someone if they are not doing anything for a few weeks. You can also take time away from working out hard and still be active by doing some other form of activity.
