Sonja Morgan’s Zebra Print Wrap Dress at Her Fashion Line Meeting

Real Housewives of New York Season 12 Episode 6 Fashion

On last night’s episode of RHONY Sonja Morgan took a trip out to New Jersey to visit “the books,” and was totally channeling the state’s energy with her fierce zebra print wrap dress. And we’re just hoping for her sake that this trip didn’t inspire her to host her next fashion show on the other side of the Hudson at the Brownstone, because we have a feeling that would really piss off Melissa Gorga and Kim D.

Fashionably,

Faryn

Regardless of where you live, chances are your hair salon is still closed or operating on a limited schedule. In this case, the Ulta Gorgeous Hair Event for spring is right on time. The one-of-a-kind sale comes twice a year and the first one for 2020 feels like the best birthday present ever. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a Gorgeous Hair newbie, here’s what you should know before adding to cart.

First of all, get comfortable because this isn’t a flash sale; it’s a whopping three weeks long. (They call it an “event” for a reason, people!) It runs from Sunday, May 10 to Saturday, May 30—that’s 21 days of markdowns. Each day features anywhere from one to three brands each featuring one product for 50 percent off. As always, this event is the perfect opportunity to replenish nearly every part of your haircare routine. Stylers, hair masks, hot tools, and cleansers are all up for grabs in the coming weeks.

Taylor Hill is Quarantining With Her Mom and Taco Tuesday is Always on the Menu

Taylor Hill is Quarantining With Her Mom and Taco Tuesday is Always on the Menu

Posted by | May 10, 2020 | |

I’m admittedly in my feelings. Today is Mother’s Day and with stay-at-home orders going strong, I can’t be with my favorite lady. The same can’t be said for Taylor Hill, who has been social distancing with the matriarch of her family and reaping all of the benefits, including quality time and home-cooked meals. (Yes, I am extremely jealous.) Family time is everything right now and the Ralph Lauren ROMANCE Global Ambassador is making the most of it.

“My mom traveled with me everywhere when I was 14 and I just now have a newfound appreciation for how hard she works,” the model told StyleCaster. “Our relationship has grown, we are closer than ever as she’s turning into not just my mom, but my friend.” Though they have a daily routine down pat and are grateful for the ability to socially distance at all, Hill and her siblings were adamant about switching things up for Mother’s Day.

“To make it feel special and not like any other day during social distancing, we’re going to have a relaxing self-care day and get dressed up,” she said. “The little things can make a big difference right now, like pulling together a fun fashion look and adding fragrance for a touch of luxury.”

Brunch is also a must. Restaurants may be closed, but mimosas certainly aren’t canceled.

“We want to take care of everything from start to finish, so she does not have to lift a finger. Mom always does such an incredible spread with all the fixings so we need to return the favor. We are going to make eggs, bacon, fruit salad, avocado toast, and of course mimosas!”

Read on for everything else on their stay-at-home checklist. Besides lounging around in “an old t-shirt and some comfy soft sweats,” Hill and her mom are rockin’ out to the oldies, embracing the beauty classics and bonding over family dinners.

Relaxed Routines

I mainly dedicate about 30 minutes to an hour to watch the news, and then I have to tune it all out for a while, as to not get too overwhelmed with too much information. I try and stay positive and focus on taking it one day at a time. We follow a daily routine as best we can. My mom does yoga in the mornings and I usually have slower mornings; I have coffee, check emails, then work out later in the day. We have family dinners every night and do fun things like Taco Tuesday. We have been pretty good about calling and video chatting with friends and family.

The Beauty Classics

Right now, I’m all about the classics that I know will bring me joy and comfort—my tried-and-true products! Ralph Lauren ROMANCE is a staple for both me and my mom—the classic, floral scent is a mainstay that has stood the test of time and has been around for more than two decades. It evokes a sense of familiarity for me and of course, love.

I also love the Lancôme L’Absolu Mademoiselle Balm; super soothing and hydrating! And doing masks can always evoke a spa-like feeling. I love the Génifique face masks. I keep them in the fridge for that extra soothing, cooling effect.

Sights and Sounds

I’m currently re-watching DEAD TO ME as the new season is dropping and I love that show. We LOVE classic rock, my mama raised me well—good taste in music and all! We listen to Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith. I just started listening to podcasts and enjoy Sibling Revelry with Kate and Oliver Hudson.

Good Reads

I would say I am the biggest reader in the family; so far, I have finished Where the Crawdads Sing, Little Fires Everywhere, The Proposal, and What Alice Forgot.

Making Moves

I’ve been working out four times a week with these incredible workouts my trainer has been emailing me. I absolutely love and adore my trainer in LA, Coach Forest! She keeps me healthy and pushes me. Her workouts are tailored for my needs and she is always switching them up on me.

Food Perks

My mom makes amazing dinners and is an excellent cook unlike myself. So for me, anything she cooks makes me feel instantly at home. The last thing mom made for us was a delicious dinner: grilled chicken, roasted Brussel sprouts, and baked sweet potatoes.

Can Castor Oil Really Help Your Lashes & Brows Grow?

Posted by | May 10, 2020 | |

Hair loss is a well-known and wide-spread issue. Thinning hair can be caused by a vast array of different things, from genetics to stress to diet and prescription medications. However, while we typically think of the hair on our head when it comes to this concern, our lashes and eyebrows can also be impacted by the same reason the hair on heads begins to thin. Castor oil has been generating buzz lately, touted for its apparent ability to help promote accelerate eyebrow and eyelash re-growth. Unlike Biotin and other B-vitamins, there isn’t a ton of clinically backed research vetting the alleged connection between castor oil and accelerated hair regrowth. On the other hand, the anecdotal research is pretty compelling, with plenty of before-and-after pics scattered throughout the web.

While the academic research and clinical trials examining the oil’s ability to promote hair re-growth may be scant, that doesn’t mean the connection is to be completely discredited. In fact, castor oil does have natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal proprieties, which can thoroughly cleanse and remove dead skin and product buildup from the scalp. When the hair follicles on the scalp are clogged, this inhibits normal hair growth. Just like congested pores on your face, congested follicles on your scalp are simply no good. And, according to some castor oil manufacturers, it functions as an effective growth accelerant because it’s penetrated easily, delivering a saturated dose of Vitamin E, triglyceride fatty acids, and bond-building proteins. In short, while more research needs to be conducted for castor to earn  the FDA’s seal of approval, if you’re like us, the vast amount of “true stories” documenting its benefits are enough to convince us to try it out for ourselves.

After experiencing a month or two of non-stop stress and lack of sleep, I woke up one morning and as I looked in the mirror, I realized that my brows were noticeably thinner than a week or two ago. Of course, given my non-stop schedule that had taken over my life during the past weeks, it makes sense that the thinning brow situation would go unnoticed until that very moment. In panic mode, I immediately began to research what type of disease could be at the root of my suddenly skimpy brows, only to settle on the conclusion that it was in fact, probably stress — a very common cause of hair loss according to my bible, WebMd. Anyways, after learning that a few friends of mine had also been battling this sudden onset of thinning brows, I began to try out the oil myself to see what I could glean. I’m not sure if my restored brows were courtesy of my return to a more balanced schedule or the castor oil, but there was a visible improvement in the fullness of my brows. While I can’t speak to its impact on eyelash growth, I would imagine it would have same effect and the products below all claim to help in this department. Here are some of our favorite formulas.
