I know I can’t last an entire summer with those ‘beach tousled waves” and I know it’s hot (and humid!). But the thought of a scorching hair dryer going at your locks for, let’s say, a mere 15 minutes may not sound so enticing. Now just close your eyes, imagine a beautiful (might I add, <... >

After one too many red velvet cupcake indulgences and a lack of gym activity due to a mix of laziness and sheer boredom, I am officially in need of some help to get back into svelte summer-savvy shape! I am a strong believer in personal trainers, but you have to know which one is right <... >
