Paige DeSorbo’s Pink Rose Shoulder Top on Instastories

Summer House Instagram Fashion 2020

Although good news seems to be a rarity these days, thankfully we have some to report in this article considering we managed to find Paige DeSorbo’s pink rose shoulder top on Instastories still in stock. Oh and not only that, but in case you haven’t already heard Quarantine Summer House is officially set to move forward with Season 5 production this summer, filming 7 days a week (the cast will be working their “real” jobs remotely from the house) — so it looks like everything really is coming up roses.

Fashionably,

We’re all about a two-for-one over here. Not many have extra moments in the bathroom in the morning to get ready. More likely, you’re making yourself look put together and then running out the door. With the best SPF moisturizer out there, you can protect your skin from UVA/UVB rays while keeping your face hydrated. It’s great under makeup as a primer, too. Though of course, it’s not perfect. Allow us to explain.

Wearing a moisturizer with SPF protection of at least broad-spectrum 30 helps protect skin way more than if you’re not wearing sunscreen at all. But most dermatologists recommend wearing a separate sunscreen on top of your daily lotion for maximum impact. Either way, it’s important to wear some type of sun protection daily whether it’s sunny out or not. (Yes, even while social distancing!)

No matter what your skin type, there’s a sunscreen-moisturizer hybrid for you, below. If you have oily or combination skin and hate adding an extra layer, look for lightweight, oil-free moisturizers so they won’t clog your pores and you’re more likely to remember to wear it every day. Shop our favorites to wear all year long.

Braunwyn Windham-Burke’s Open Temple Sunglasses on Instastories

Real Housewives of Orange County 2020 Instagram Fashion

Braunwyn Windham-Burke’s open temple sunglasses on Instastories are a sight for sore eyes. I know I enjoyed seeing them, but searching for them not so much. Sunglasses can be tough, but that’s when having a compulsive shopper an expert like Lauren comes in handy. They were previously seen by her when they were worn by Dolores Catania as seen here!

Sunglasses are always the perfect accessory to have. They go with any outfit whether it’s a fancy dress, workout clothes, a swimsuit, or a tie dye t shirt.  Plus they come in all different shapes and sizes, and are often one size fits most. That way if you’re shopping online (like most of us are now) you know that they might be easier to order than a pair of pants in the Q, per say. All you have to worry about now is seeing that the pair you want is sold out. But thankfully in this situation that isn’t the case.

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess

Somewhere between the beginning of stay-at-home orders and that first sign of actual summer weather, I decided to let my hair just be. You know–cutting myself off from an abundance of products, letting the curls live their best lives without gel, and putting more intention into my routine, which inevitably shrunk in size. This ultimately led me down a very long rabbit hole of rice water hair products and rice water challenge YouTube videos, because Sunday afternoons are just like that sometimes.

The fascination with rice water within the natural hair community isn’t new, but when a global crisis caused most of us to stay put and cancel appointments, hair growth and overall health seemingly became everyone‘s goal. We want to take better care of our scalp and strands. We also want to look fly as ever when stepping out becomes the norm again. And so the comments under YouTube’s most-watched “rice water challenge” videos picked up steam after a dormant, years-long phase.

Though there’s no scientific data to back up its efficacy, rice water has been used for hundreds of years in China to treat and grow hair. The specific community credited for this DIY method are the women of the Yao tribe known for their nearly floor-length hair. Over time, Westerners have adopted their practice of fermenting rice in water and in recent years, it’s become the DIY recipe du jour for natural hair bloggers. In short, most challenge themselves to use rice water over the course of weeks before measuring and displaying their hair growth (or lack thereof) to subscribers and skeptics alike.

Monique Rodriguez, the founder of Mielle Organics, once counted herself among the throngs of curious onlookers before formulating a Rice Water collection of her own. “I am intentional about researching the pros and cons of an ingredient before I form an opinion regarding it,” she told StyleCaster. After concluding research and delving into the DIY concoctions making their rounds on YouTube, she “took an ample amount of time to research and develop a solution…that eliminated the tedious process.” She also dedicated time to trying rice water recipes on her own hair, too. “An essential step in the process to creating products is to try it on myself first,” she added.

The result is Mielle Organics’s Rice Water Collection; a Rice water Moisturizing Milk, Rice Water Clay Masque, Rice Water Split End Therapy, and Rice Water Shine Mist. So what exactly does rice water do for hair? According to Rodriguez, it “reduces split ends, strengthens hair, improves hair elasticity, aids in hair growth, and has been recognized for leaving the hair soft and silky.”

In the context of rice water, however, it is possible to have too much of a good thing. Depending on the state of your hair, an excess of rice water can easily translate into protein overload. “While researching the benefits of rice water I also spent time learning the adverse effects DIY rice water concoctions that had taken place for some curly girls. Many shared in vlogs and Instagram stories that their DIY recipes over time left their hair hard and brittle,” she said. “This happens due to a lack of balance of moisture to the amount of protein.”

This is why Mielle Organics’s rice water products are formulated with ingredients that can counter-balance those effects, such as yuzu. Furthermore, some of the products omit protein altogether for those prone to excessive dryness. “Those who are considered protein-sensitive should use rice water in moderation. Two of our four products that have protein are the Rice Water Moisturizing Milk and the Rice Water Split End Therapy. Our Rice Water Clay Masque and Shine Mist do not contain protein.”

Ultimately, the “will rice water work on my hair” question can’t be answered the same way for everyone. Before embarking on any hair adventure, it’s important to know the individual state and needs of your hair. If you want to do it right, this takes time. You’ll want to know how efficiently your hair retains moisture, the type of products that boost definition instead of weighing it down, and most importantly, what your goals are, to name just a few. But if you’ve already done a DIY rice water challenge and want results without the time-suck of a DIY recipe, browse the Mielle Organics collection or get familiar with some other notable hair savers below.
