Beauty Byte: Top 100 Beauty Money-Making Brands of 2008
I'm sure you haven't been holding your breath for this release, but if the business side of beauty has always been as intriguing to you as it has to me, I think you'll find the statistics of the top 100 beauty company earners of 2008 quite interesting. The glosses, fragrances and pick-me-up eye shadows that we buy to make ourselves look and feel better add up to some serious poundage and have made brands a full fledged fortune.

Today's Tip: Baby Powder Your Hair
If you are a blonde (whether natural or not) like me, you know that your roots can start to look a little greasy if you don't wash your hair every day. A cool tip that I learned that I wanted to pass along is that a little dash of Baby Powder can help absorb the oils.
So, the next time you don't have time to wash and dry your hair before running out the door, just sprinkle a little powder and you are good to go!
