One part of my daily routine has been constant for years. When I want to keep my hair dry while showering or washing my face, I twist it up and hold it back with a hair clip. Through the years, I’ve gone through dozens of clips as the plastic is quick to break and the spring mechanism eventually fails. I really never thought much about searching for an improvement to this process… and then Tassi crossed my path.
Similar to a cross between a terry-cloth headband and a shower cap, Tassi not only holds hair away from the face, but covers it almost entirely, absorbing any splashes of water that would otherwise soak your hair. Fantastic for keeping hair dry while washing your face, the Tassi also replaces hideous plastic shower caps!
Tassi headbands retail for a mere $14.99. You’ll never buy another hair clip again!
Click HERE to head over to the Tassi website, where you can find this headband in 12 different colors, including soft pink, hot pink (pictured, and the most popular shade), lavender, chocolate brown, powder blue, chili pepper red, tan, black, lime green, turquoise, white and tangerine. There’s a fantastic instructional video on the site, to show you exactly how this product is used!

Last year at this time, I wrote about how impossible it can be to get an appointment at the salon this time of year. After all, no one wants to be immortalized in holiday photos with inch-long black roots, or streaks of white hair! Frederic Fekkai's solution to the holiday hair-color dilemma last year was to introduce Hi-Lights hair mascara (still available at beauty.com, for those of you who want to be prepared for a last minute touch up). This year, Fekkai Salon Color has been introduced!
If you can't make it to a salon to refresh your all-over color during the holiday season, simply hit Bloomingdale's or Beauty.com, and buy one of the 20 shades of Fekkai Salon Color. The formula is so rich, each kit comes with a bowl and brush for professional-style application! What can you expect? Rich multi-dimensional hair color, complete gray coverage, and shiny silky hair! Salon results for only $30? Sounds like a dream…

They steal your boyfriends.
They wear a size 00.
They have exclusive access to some of the best skincare available in the marketplace.
They are Ford models.
Somme Institute recently helped level the playing field just a bit, making this once Ford-model exclusive formula available to we commoners!
I was in a unique position to test the effectiveness of Somme Institute Skincare. During my entire pregnancy, I dutifully avoided skin care products with Vitamin A. I immediately saw the negative effects of discontinuing my anti-aging routine. Nine months later, I had the opportunity to use the entire Somme Institute regimen on (basically) virgin skin.
Within a week of using this 6 step routine, I noticed the fine lines that had started to appear on my forehead during pregnancy were not as pronounced. Talk about instant gratification! I also love the step-by-step instructions that make it perfectly clear what order the product should be used. Here it is, in a nutshell:
1) Somme Institute Nourishing Cleanser– This non-foaming cleanser feels super-cool on the skin, and removes makeup in a snap. Contains the magical MDT5 vitamin compound to deliver intense anti-aging cocktail deep within the skin. Retail $40.
2) Somme Institute Transport Pads– Work like a veritable oil vacuum, leaving skin feeling clean and soft, but not tight. Also exfoliate without the harshness of a grainy scrub. Retail price $58.
3) Somme Institute Serum– Here's the crown jewel of the entire collection, a potent serum to apply directly to your freshly cleansed skin. Retail price $82.
4) Somme Institute A-Bomb– Ultra-rich moisturizing skin treat keeps skin soft and dewy. Retail price $70.
5) Somme Institute EYE Cream– Only one pump covers the undereye area of both eyes so this will last forever! Retail price $72.
6) Somme Institute Double Defense Face and Body SPF 30– An anti-aging SPF30 to apply every morning! Retail price $48.
Sigh– to purchase a full-sized collection will run you $370. This collection doesn't come cheap! A small price to pay for youthful appearance, right? The good news is, if you want to test the product out before committing to such an expense, Click HERE to snag the Somme Institute Mobile Travel Kit at beauty.com. The trial sized version of the entire set retails for $85, and is also great for travel.
