Tinsley Mortimer Instagram Fashion

Here at BBH we live for a Tinsely Mortimer Instagram post, and quite frankly, they are way too few and far between. However, we’ll take what we can get because when she does post her outfits are always on point, as was the case with her white lace puff sleeve dress, pink bag and studded ankle strap pumps. And while I’m very sad to say every last piece is sold out, I’m happy to report that Tinsely is looking just as good as ever.

 

The Realest Housewife,

Big Blonde Hair

Selena Gomez Is Back to Blonde Hair & She Looks Even Better Than Last Time

Is there anything better than getting your hair cut and/or colored, leaving the salon and feeling like a supermodel? No, we don’t think there is. But because of the current climate, seeing your hairstylist might not be as easy and getting your split ends cut off or your roots done might just be a quick in-and-out appointment without all the fun. That’s one reason why we’re so obsessed with actors and influencers who switch up their look on a dime. We’re jealous, sure, but it’s also aspirational AF. So, we’re rounding up the best celebrity hair makeovers of 2021 as they come so you can drool with us.

Though, it’s not just about drooling over these looks. Saving this page and referring back to it at the hair salon can help you decide if curtain bangs or a bob is right for you. Hairstylists actually love when you show them photos because they can get a real feel of the vibe you’re looking for and can adjust the look into something that suits your wants and needs. This goes for color, too. Did you ask for balayage when you really meant a shadow root? It’s easier to just give examples of what you want.

Some of these celebrity looks aren’t permanent. Stars love to play around with wigs, extensions and faux bangs. But there’s nothing wrong with that. Real or faux, we’re taking inspo from our favorites to figure out our next look for 2021 and beyond.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

Selena Gomez

In an Instagram photo promoting her beauty brand, Rare Beauty, in April 2021, Gomez showed off her newly dyed blonde hair. The picture saw the former Disney Channel star light blonde tresses and dark roots. She most recently dyed her hair blonde in 2017 in a color dubbed by her hairstylist Nikki Lee as “Nirvana Blonde.” Gomez’s 2021 color was also done by Lee and Riawna Capri. “We’ve been doing Selena’s color for over a decade now. She typically keeps it pretty natural, but this time she went for a big change. This blonde is unique to her as we had to make sure there was an equal balance of cool and warm for her skin tone. It’s an edgier look and perfect for summer,” the hairstylists said in a statement.

Elizabeth Olsen

At the virtual launch of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier miniseries, Olsen debuted a totally different look from her usual copper-blonde hair. The bangs! The darker color! So chic.

Chrissy Teigen

We love how Teigen is playing around with wigs lately and experimenting with hair color. Although she only kept the silver shade for a day, we hope she brings it back. It looks amazing on her.

Kristen Bell

It seems like Bell is dressed up in character to film a TV show or movie but we’re loving these piecey bangs on her and we hope she keeps them up IRL.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

While filling us in on the Covid-19 relief package, AOC showed off her adorable new haircut. When followers commented saying they loved the chop, she replied, “Let’s not start another national crisis over it, right?”

Gigi Hadid

The model mom returned to the runway, walking in the Versace fall 2021 show. Hairstylist Panos Papandrianos wrote “Ginger for Gigi” on Instagram, making us believe he really did dye the model’s hair this gorgeous red shade for the occasion.

Olivia Rodrigo

The ‘Drivers License’ singer jumped on the curtain bang trend thanks to hairstylist Clayton Hawkins. They’re subtle but make a big difference in her look. One interesting note: Sabrina Carpenter has them too.

Lana Condor

The actress looks so great in this pastel pink wig, maybe she’s considering doing it IRL? “Get ‘Anyone Else But You; to 5 mil streams and I’ll keep it,” she wrote on Instagram. Though, she told STYLECASTER last year, “I don’t know that I’d ever dye dye my hair. I think my mom would kill me, you’d know?”

Ashley Graham

The model had everyone thinking maybe she got a pixie cut but her hair is actually the result of new growth post hair loss. “Postpartum baby hairs come through!” she wrote on Instagram.

Emma Roberts

A new color and cut for the birthday girl! “Emma always looks and feels her best blonde,” said her hairstylist and Nine Zero One co-founder Nikki Lee. “We decided to keep her a warm blonde and went for a ’90s supermodel vibe. With a new baby and a big birthday, we went out with a bang! Lisa Satorn added extensions for length and fullness. I kept her haircut free and flowing with piecey layers around the face.” Lee keeps her client’s hair healthy with the In Common 3 Step Treatment System ($105 at In Common).

Katy Perry

Why not start with one of the biggest hair chameleons? Though she’s been ultra-blonde for a while, we can’t help but miss a brunette Katy Perry. It’s classically chic and fits her personality. So, when we saw these photos of backstage at Jimmy Kimmel Live, we were so excited to see the long brown hair. But it seems it’s a wig and she’s already back to blonde.

What No One Tells You About Getting Older, Until It’s Too Late

Getting Older

I’ve always had a “so-what” approach to getting older. In my youth, I did all those foolhardy things we are warned to avoid – I drank too much, I partied all night, and I never went sunbathing without first dowsing myself in virgin olive oil to make sure I got a deep brown. How foolish was I? The answer is, very foolish indeed.

The trouble for me and for many others my age is that I don’t feel old. Most days I am convinced I am trapped in my 30s, until I walk past a mirror and wonder what my mother is doing staring out at me.

The first indicator I got that I was aging was my eyesight. I’ve always had poor eyesight but once I began walking into cupboards and falling off pavements, I realized I was getting older.

On the plus side, I can’t actually see the wrinkles that are mapped across my face – what you can’t see, doesn’t exist, right?

However, like it or not, I have got older and as my mother always said, getting older isn’t for sissies. She’s my heroine. At eighty-two she still partied the nights away with friends. Her legendary Twister party went down in the annals of history with the locals in Cyprus (and the doctors who had to treat those who got stuck on the mat in contorted positions playing it). Anyway, because she also refused to age gracefully, she neglected to tell me all the things I could expect as I got older so some came as a shock to me.

In an attempt to enlighten others to the perils of getting older, here is my list of what no one tells you until it’s too late:

You Will Morph Into an Alien

Ladies, one morning you will wake up to discover your eyebrows have migrated south and taken up residence above your upper lip. You will either have to have them tattooed back on – ouch! Or start using an eyebrow pencil. I advocate the latter as you can have enormous fun putting on one eyebrow higher than the other and giving yourself a quizzical air or for full-on fun, put them on upside down and scare people.

Men, you may discover a similar migration. The hair from your head will gradually disappear and begin to force itself out of your ears and nose. You know you are getting old when you suddenly find yourself fascinated by those nasal hair trimmers. Alternatively, you can let the hair in your ears grow. It might block out the sound of your other half nagging you haven’t done all those DIY jobs she left for you.

You Will Develop a Superpower – Invisibility

Honestly. You will be walking along the mall one morning, thinking about what to buy for your lunch and a woman, on a mobile phone or chatting to a friend pushing a baby buggy, will approach from the opposite direction and aim directly for you. They will not move out of the way, and you will be forced into a doorway to escape from being run down.

Or, you will walk into a store and try as you might to attract the attention of a salesperson you will fail. They will continue to talk about their families and boyfriends and ignore you. Congratulations! You have just become invisible.

I use this new superpower to amuse myself by wearing a lampshade on my head and travelling up and down the escalator in the department store. Amazing what you can get away with.

You Will Find Yourself Comparing Breakfast Cereals for the Best Bran Content

Forget buying tasty, sugary cereals that you used to enjoy, or bagels and peanut butter. You will find yourself naturally drawn to nutritious bran-enriched cereal and… prunes.

Actually, you won’t be able to eat a lot of the stuff you used to enjoy. You can kiss goodbye to those extra fries for one thing. All those carbs will just make your stomach blow up and give you stomach ache. You’ll be kept awake listening to your stomach groaning as IBS plays you up and has you reaching for the anti-acid tablets. I recommend you live on small bowls of soup and sandwiches – it makes for easy meal planning!

You’ll Wander Into a Room and Forget Why

It happens to us all. You’ll trundle down the stairs, enter the kitchen and wonder what you’ve gone in for. Or, you’ll open the fridge and discover the washing up liquid in the place you normally put the milk.

This is quite acceptable as is checking you have turned off the hob several times after you have already locked up the house and returning to the car to see if you have actually locked it.

If this has started happening, stick a post-it note on your head to remind you and hopefully that will help, as long as you remember you have a post-it note on your head.

You Will Start to Make Pom-Pom-Pom Noises for No Good Reason or Grunt When You Get Up From a Chair

Men are mostly the culprits in this department. For some unfathomable reason, they’ll burst into a non-musical version of a pom-pom-pom song much like the character Winnie The Pooh. Some may take to whistling tunelessly instead while many females will merely end up talking to themselves.

Both sexes will begin to let out a wheeze as they stand up; even those who are slim and don’t have bad joints. I’ve decided it must be compulsory and have adopted a grunt that I use when I stand up on buses and trains. It certainly confuses people who wonder where it’s come from – after all, I am invisible!

What did you least expect about getting older? What aspects of the aging process do you find funny, intriguing or unexpected? Please join the conversation.

10 Simple Healthy Eating Nudges to Help You Get More from Life

Healthy-Eating

As we age, our metabolism slows down and weight gain becomes a sensitive issue. No matter what we do nothing seems to shift the weight. Here are some tips to help with nudging that weight a little that do not require deprivation and hunger.

Forget bribes and deprivation. When it comes to changing eating habits, a nudge is all we need to get started. Behavioral experts believe making small tweaks and nudges around the home can encourage anyone to make healthier choices to win the battle of the bulge.

What Is a Nudge and How Does It Apply to Healthy Eating?

The nudge theory was first made famous back in 2008 by Professor Richard Thaler. It is based on the idea that 80% of human behavior is automatic, with people responding to cues in the world around them.

Thus, nudges need to be easy and cheap to implement. The case of putting fruit on the counter top and at eye level is considered a nudge, whereas banning junk food in our homes does not work because this will be seen as trying to change behavior through restriction.

The beauty of nudging is that it is easy to do from home. Here are 10 simple nudges for you to try:

Try These 10 Healthy Eating Nudges

Use smaller plates and bowls to encourage you to try smaller portions of new food.

Place a bowl of fresh fruit within easy reach on the kitchen counter. In contrast, make unhealthy foods difficult to find and get to in the fridge and pantry.

To encourage movement, add a miniature basketball hoop to the back of the laundry door. Keep bikes and running shoes in easy-to-see and use places, such as the front or back door. Use smaller bins so you need to walk outside to empty them often. Always have sports gear in the boot of your car for impromptu activities.

For fun, use chalk on the driveway to draw up a hopscotch layout and go back to your childhood days and skip along as you walk to the front door. Set up a mini golf game in the living room and leave it there.

If you do not have a dog to take for a walk every day, ask around and see if a neighbor needs a hand with keeping their dog active.

Just implementing one change a day, or even a week, and making it a habit, may surprise you in what you can achieve through simple nudges.

What small things do you do to stay fit and healthy? What gentle nudges have you implemented this week to maintain a healthy living attitude? Which one of these tips do you use every day? Which would you add to the list. Please share in the comments.
