Top Teen Site
This site is created by a 17 year old and includes some cool My Space layouts that you can use to make a
personalized space online.
It's also more popular than Oprah and American Idol in terms of online web traffic - not bad for someone who
doesn't have any formal educational qualifications, just a love of fun and an adoration of pink and hearts (I love
it!).
The 17 year old in question is called Ashley and she's one of the latest young internet entrepreneurs to
surprise both herself and her friends by creating a successful business, from what started as a hobby.
Her site is called whateverlife.com and it's worth checking out for the whole bunch of free stuff
that you can download - as well as getting a little inspiration as to how you might earn a little extra cash from
your own website.
Cool Hair Accessories & Barrettes !
Just came across a site which sells really pretty accessories, specially designed for hair.
If you're fed up with cheap items which fall apart - and would like something that you can add to your jewelry
box for special occasions, check out the Byrd Designs website which offers a range of hair jewellery, barrettes, combs and much
more fun stuff.
Sunbathing Sensibly
Are you confused about the conflicting advice on staying out in the sun recently?
We've always been advised to stay out of the sun as it increases the risk of skin cancer. Yet now we're being
told that a little sun helps to produce Vitamin D which may reduce the risk of certain types of cancer.
As ever, it seems that too much of a good thing is what we need to avoid - and that old phrase "moderation in
everything" once again seems to have proven itself.
Healthy Smoothies for Glowing Skin and
Hair
Quick note - with so much fruit being in season - now is the time to whisk up your own vitamin-packed
smoothies.
Try using orange or apple juice and adding bananas, grapes, kiwi fruit - and whatever fruit you've got to hand -
and whisking it all up in the liquidiser or blender.
Homemade smoothies taste different every time - but that's half the fun!
Hairdressers, Prices, Men & Women
One thing that has always puzzled me - how is it that men seem to pay so much less for getting
their hair cut than women ?
For example, my sixteen year old son had a haircut last week at the barber that cost him just £10. The hair cut
took about 40 minutes.
My own haircuts (much as I love them) cost around £35 and take about the same time.
Does anyone else find it rather strange that women pay so much more - even though the time spent is about the
same?
By the way, I wouldn't want to go anywhere else but my current hairdresser, she's great and does wonders with my
curly hair .
Cool Hair Care Site
As a popular site on hair, we often get contacted by other related sites.
Hair Parlor have got some useful articles on coloring and bleaching your hair, but what was
particularly well written and helpful was their info on common hair problems, such as dandruff, flaky, itchy or
greasy scalps and psoriasis.
You can find out some cool hair care tips at the Hair Parlor website.
Do let us know your favorite sites - we'd love to review them and add them to our recommended sites.
Making Money from your Passion !
We've all probably wondered how we could make money from something we enjoy - such as writing about fashion and
hair.
But have you ever really wondered if you could make money without working so hard?
If you've not come across Squidoo lenses before, they're a free way to set up a moneymaking website or page.
Some people use them to raise money for charity or get publicity for their chosen cause, others just enjoy
writing about whatever is their passion - there's lenses about subjects from Updos to Beef Jerky!
If you've already got a website or blog, are you using affiliate programs to make additional revenue? There's a
number of popular hair products and programs that you can promote - just do a little research and you will find
something real quick.
Don't just add the affiliate link, but write something about it, having reviewed the website and products
yourself - it's your own enthusiasm and honesty that'll inspire people to buy.
Hair Loss in Women
It's a little talked about event, but many women have gone through the difficult time of
seeming to lose their hair.
Whether you have handfuls falling out, or just a pile or hairs when you rinse out the bath or shower - it can be
an unnerving and worrying time.
First of all, talk about it! You'll probably be surprised by the number of women who've had something similar
happen to them.
Secondly, if it persists, get medical help. There may be a health reason why it's happening and it's always best
to find out and treat it as soon as possible.
For example, pregancy can lead to temporary loss of hair, as can a number of other common conditions.

Beauty Secrets & Tips
How many times have you sought out top beauty secrets and tips?
One of the best places to look is in the celebrity magazines to find out what top celebrities and stylists are

The key is to discover what works for you and your skin - everyone has a different combination of beauty regime

diet and lifestyle affect your skin.
One of the top tips of all is to drink more water - to avoid spending money on expensive bottled water that
tastes so much better - buy a sports bottle, fill it with water and chill it - it will taste great and you'll be
surprised how much more water you can drink.
