6 Quick Home Remedies To Grow Nails Faster

Want your nails to grow faster? May we suggest that you stop watching scary movies? Nothing slows down nail growth faster than biting them. Or cutting them. Instead, try any of these simple nail growing home remedies that you can start implementing from today.

Best Bangs For Your Face Shape

Bangs are one of those features that can dramatically transform a person’s appearance in a matter of minutes. The growing-out phase may discourage some people from committing to bangs, but we believe that with the right styling, a fringe is flattering on every face shape.
With the right style, you can add more definition to your oblong, oval-shaped face or soften up the high points of your heart-shaped face. Need help determining which bangs work best for your face shape? Scroll down for celebrity inspiration as well as tips from Mario Russo, the owner and lead stylist of Boston’s Salon Mario Russo.

    Emma Stone“Whether you have thin or thick hair, side-swept bangs can easily be styled and blow-dried off to the side of the face,” Russo says. “Make sure your bang is cut thick, so that it doesn’t appear too soft or too wispy, which for a round face can be unflattering. Side-swept bangs work well with both long and short haircuts, especially cuts with layers and angles that provide the hair with more shape and definition.”

When you're pregnant, there are so many things that you have to remember. How to exercise, when to go to the doctor or see your healthcare professional, what kinds of medications and supplements you can or can't take, what to eat, and even what to drink (or what not to drink). Some off-limits beverages, like alcohol and too much caffeine from coffee, tea, and soda, you've probably heard are a no-go many times before.

7 fatty foods you should be eating and 7 you shouldn't

Time magazine made waves in 2014 when they declared butter to be "back," reporting on a study indicating the consumption of saturated fats did not, in fact, hold the same health concerns as previously believed. "But not so fast!" said the Harvard School of Public Health in 2016, reminding us of their findings that saturated fats, while not the worst fat we can eat, are certainly not as healthy as plant-based, monounsaturated fats. When it comes to the skinny on fat, some days, it seems hard to keep up!

What Are Blackheads?

You know this story all too well…
Everyone around you seems to have flawless skin — and you have a T-zone dotted with ugly blackheads.
You look into the mirror, see all the dark specks and spots, and ask “Why me?” Well guess what…
It’s not just you. It may feel that way. But pretty much everyone gets blackheads at some point. That’s because blackheads are the result of natural, healthy processes that occur in everyone’s skin.

7 Ways to Survive Migraines

Until science finds the silver bullet for killer headaches, here are a few survival strategies worth a try.


Searching for a cure for your migraines can make you want to bang your head against the wall.

8 Ways You're Unknowingly Ruining Your Clothes


Though we don’t consider ourselves (or you) reckless with belongings, we’d be lying if we said we hadn’t inadvertently sabotaged an item by not properly caring for it. Nothing is more disappointing than having to toss a beloved cashmere sweater or pair of boots because you yourself didn’t take care of them. Oh, the waste!

The 10 Shocking Things That Happened When I Stopped Running

I used to hate running.
Back in my elementary school days the dreaded ‘Field Day’ came around like clockwork every June. For me, it was one of the worst days of the school year. I pleaded with my mother to let me stay home.

Signs from your body you should never ignore

Our bodies are pretty amazing. From hiking mountains, to hauling armfuls of groceries, we rely on these nature-made machines for just about everything, oftentimes without even noticing. But especially in today's fast-paced world, our bodies can't always keep up with our super busy schedules, demanding workloads, and the endless stimulation of on-demand technology. The result: we end up tired, cranky, and ultimately, sick.

What really happens to your body when you don't exercise enough

Some people are born with naturally thin frames and the metabolism that allows them to eat whatever they want and never gain weight. It's tempting for these people to forego exercise altogether in favor of hanging on the couch and watching TV with a friend. As a certified personal trainer, I've had many clients who weren't convinced they actually needed to exercise since they were naturally thin.
