If you’ve been feeling down on your luck lately, we’ve got a piece of uplifting intel: NuFace’s Friends & Family Sale is going on right now. The beauty giant’s seasonal event is the prime time to refresh your skincare stash, especially when this uber-popular at-home facelift tool is a whopping 20 percent off.

The brand’s devices typically sit at gasp-worthy prices, so whenever there’s a rare sale, it’s only right to share the good news. And to add to the intrigue, not one, but all (!!!) device kits are included in the markdowns, alongside matching skincare. Plus, the tools’ abilities—which no doubt extend beyond your average anti-aging cream—have even captured the hearts of celebrities and supermodels, including Jen Aniston, Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid, Miranda Kerr and Kate Hudson.

NuFace Trinity Starter Kit

For those new to NuFace’s fancy technology, here’s how the tool works: It sends gentle microcurrents, a.k.a. “low-level currents that mimic the body’s natural ionic flow,” per the brand, across the face and neck—or entire body if you opt for the NuFace Trinity Starter Kit—to contour areas of concern, lift sagging skin and soften deep wrinkles. It may sound like a painful experience, but have no fear; the device works its magic without sensation, so you’ll actually feel nothing during use.

NuFace NuBODY Toning Device

Microcurrent devices have historically been used in spas and professional treatment offices, so the chance to add one to your home arsenal is pretty huge. With that being said, you don’t need to be a pro to operate NuFace; the FDA-cleared tool can be used as little as five minutes per day by simply gliding it across the cheeks, forehead, and jawline in conjunction with a hydrating primer (NuFace offers its own gel version). With daily use, the tool aids in lymphatic drainage, enhances the absorption of additional skincare products and even reinvigorates your face muscles for a more youthful appearance.

Don’t waste any time in checking out all of NuFace’s deals.

NuFace FIX Line Smoothing Device

Described by the brand as an “innovative, pen-sized microcurrent device that effectively plumps, smooths and tightens skin for a more youthful-looking complexion,” the FIX Line Smoothing Device is your quick fix for upper lip lines, crows feet and 11-lines (those pesky forehead wrinkles).

Growing long, strong eyelashes is not something that’s easy to achieve. Unless you’re born with them, daily wear and tear can transform them into lashes that are brittle and lifeless. I used to be someone that would head to the salon and get eyelash extensions every single month, until I ran into a friend right after an appointment one day who I thought had also just returned from the same place I went to. Ever the curious one, I asked what length her extensions were and she said that they were actually her own lashes and that she had been using Revitalash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner for Sensitive Eyes for a few weeks—the results were astounding.

I immediately ran home and ordered my own, already anxious awaiting longer-than-life lashes, even though I knew that patience would be a virtue when it came to mirroring the results my friend had achieved. Slowly but surely, the growth serum did not disappoint. In fact, they looked even better than my eyelash extensions once did.

Revitalash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner for Sensitive Eyes

This eyelash growth serum is different from others because it was made by an ophthalmologist who was determined to create a product that not only enhanced the look of lashes but protected against breakage and improved the health of the hair. Providing flexibility and strength, this eyelash serum is made of a proprietary blend with scientifically-advanced technology. Think peptides, lipids, biotin, and green tea extract.

The formula is also rich in panthenol, an ingredient that strengthens and conditions while protecting them from environment damage because yes, pollution can cause your lashes to feel broken and brittle. It’s also made for people with sensitive eyes, so if you’re worried about irritation or inflammation, this is best for you.

And I’m not the only one who thinks so—go through any of Revitalash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner‘s over 10,000 reviews on Amazon and you’ll find the same thing has happened as to my friend and I—everyone around you starts to ask if you have fake eyelashes on. One reviewer said the following: “This is favorite beauty product EVER! It really does work. My lashes are amazing because of this. I have people ask me daily if I am wearing fake lashes or if I have eyelash extensions”.

So what are you waiting for? Grab Revitalash’s Advanced Eyelash Conditioner during Dermstore’s Beauty Refresh sale, where it’s currently 20 percent off with the code REFRESH.

Are you a woman over 60 who has taken to the scissors and had the long hair of your past removed? Or are you still wearing your glorious mane at the same length and in the same cut as you did back in the ‘60s or ‘70s or ‘80s?

Why Do We Think of Cutting Our Hair as We Age?

One of the major reasons we think of cutting our hair as we age is the change in hair texture. It may be as thick as it ever was, but it starts to look like a toilet brush with frizz and wiriness everywhere. Combine this with a less than perfect jawline and neck and the odd wrinkle or two, and dissatisfaction may check in.

Some women also experience thinning of their hair, which can cause real distress.

The colour is probably the least of your worries. Whether to dye the grey or leave it alone is another subject.

The Pros and Cons of Keeping Hair Long

Pros

• There may be less maintenance with long hair. On bad hair days, and especially when you don’t have time to wash it, you can put it up in a bun or ponytail. This is just get and go! We all like that.
• You need less cutting, and the cutting we do is mostly trimming the ends to create a healthy-looking head of hair.
• You have more styling options; from bun/ponytail to braids etc.

Cons

• As you age, your hair sheds more, and if you have blonde hair, or foils or are encouraging the grey, wearing dark clothes becomes a problem.
• If you don’t take care of your hair and just let it grow, it looks unhealthy, frizzy and straggly.
• It takes longer to dry and style. Yes, you have to do this, or it starts to look unhealthy.
• You may try, but you cannot hide behind your long hair.
• It’s more expensive because you will use more shampoo and conditioner. Especially conditioner. Also, if you don’t spend time and money on really good conditioners, it’s easy to look old beyond your years! I was listening to a podcast recently, where hair care experts agreed that the cost of shampoo is irrelevant but buying a really good conditioner (the expensive type) is key… especially if you want to flaunt long, lustrous locks.
• Long hair can make you look older because when people look at you they see your hair or chin (depending on the length). It draws the eyes down, and you need all looks to be drawn up to minimise the focus of jowls.

What About Short Hair?

Pros

• Short hair usually looks and feels healthier because the ‘old’ hair is no more.
• The cut removes the weight of your hair which means you have more natural volume. A little natural bounce!
• Those half-up half-down buns are one of your best friends because they always look fabulous and more youthful on short haircuts!
• Shedding is minimal.
• A great cut can look much more trendy or edgy. It is more of an accessory whereas long hair pretty much looks the same on everybody.
• Short hair works well in framing the face and bringing the eye of the beholder up to your features.
• The Big Chop feels very liberating. You’re free from the work involved in maintaining long hair.
• Because your hair looks as if it has more volume, you can play around with parts and flip your hair back and forth.

Cons

• Contrary to popular belief and the promises of your hairdresser, you do actually have to style short hair. Don’t take a picture of a short haircut to your hair stylist if you don’t want to put effort into its maintenance.
• You need more frequent haircuts, which needs to be considered if you don’t want to spend too much time with your hairdresser. You’ll probably want a trim and tidy-up every six weeks so it can be more expensive.
• There are limited styling options. No long braids, long pony, big top knot, etc.
• BUT, if you have found a magic cutter (they’re rare!), styling options aren’t a worry because your hair will look fabulous nearly all the time.
• AND… you will look younger. Your posture will improve (it does, really!) because you feel brighter and lighter in every way, and now the world can feast on your beautiful eyes.

There are so many different lengths you can try if you decide to go short and it’s up to you to decide which suits you best.

I know the bob is incredibly popular, but it doesn’t suit everybody, so please don’t let anyone tell you it works if, deep in your gut, you know it doesn’t.

Choose something that makes you smile when you look in the mirror!

Let’s Have a Conversation:

Is your hair long or short? When was the last time you changed your hairstyle? If your hair is short, why did you choose to have it cut? Are you happy with how it looks?

Dolores Catania’s Grey Rectangle Sunglasses

Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 Episode 4 Fashion

Seeing Dolores Catania hang out with Frank Jr. and her mom was a nice glimpse into their family life, which I adore. Dolores is definitely someone who raised her children well as we always seen when they’re on screen. And though I’d love her advice on raising my children as the mom of two younger boys, I’ll have to settle for her influence one something else she excels at—picking out sunglasses. Specifically this grey rectangle pair.

I’ve been searching for Melissa Gorga’s black and white ombre shirt and pants outfit at Teresa Guidice and Luis Ruelas’ “love bubble” housewarming party since Bravo released this photo. And as luck would have it, when I looked again after seeing it was going to pop up in tonight’s episode I found it. So it looks like second time is a charm for me, even if it doesn’t see to be for bridesmaids invitations.
