Lisa Rinna’s Pink Confessional Shirt Dress

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 12 Fashion

As you hardcore fans of the site probably already know, this is not the first time we’ve reported on a celeb wearing this shirt dress (Erika Jayne wore it in yellow, Kristin Cavallari in white and Gina Kirschenheiter in lavender). However we must confess, we still really love it (maybe even more so in Rinna’s choice of pink ).

Fashionably,

Faryn

Around a year ago, I made the conscious decision to primarily use hair masks instead of regular, run-of-the-mill conditioner. Heftier formulas offer more in the way of reviving split ends, shine and softness on my bleached hair—and let me tell you, the difference this switch has made is astonishing. I’m always trying out new formulas to keep my locks in check, which is why I was wholly surprised to find I had yet to use one of the most revered out there: Coco & Eve’s Like a Virgin Hair Mask. And right now StyleCaster readers can save 15 percent on their order with the exclusive code SC15. 

First off, this product has so many glowing reviews, it took me who knows how long to sift through a majority of them. But as a beauty editor, I’m here to serve you the facts, which are as follows: This 5-in-1 treatment is capable of so much more than your average conditioner, and can transform the most brittle strands with each 10 minute application. It can be utilized a few different ways: Left on for 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing in the shower, or applying to dry hair and leaving on for up to 20 minutes (or even overnight) for added hydration. Whichever avenue you opt for, make sure to use the included tangle tamer brush to evenly distribute the product. 

Coco & Eve

Coco & Eve’s Like a Virgin Hair Mask

“Immediately after the first use I noticed a difference in my hair,” raved one shopper. “And as someone who is very insecure in my hair, I love that I could see instant results. My hair was very soft, had little to no frizz, and it even helped with oiliness. I went four days oil-free, and my hair never looked ‘flat.’ Absolutely LOVE this product and will be buying again.” 

The “multi-award winning” formula only delivers game-changing results. Ingredients like coconut oil, fig extract, shea butter, linseed, argan oil and probiotic extract restore dry, damaged hair to a shiny, glossy state, define natural texture and curls, revive split ends, tame frizz and flyaways, and last but not least, deeply condition tangles. It’s the perfect addition to a year-round routine, since it protects against the effects of environmental aggressors, such as humidity.

The mask has already made waves across the Internet, racking up thousands of eyeballs on dedicated TikTok videos. Plenty of the before-and-after’s showcase just how easily the mask can take dull strands to visibly new heights, especially when it comes to softness and shine. See here and here.

“Hair was silky soft and full of life after one use. Couldn’t believe it,” raved another fan, while a third wrote, “I have very thick, frizz prone wavy/curly hair that I’ve always struggled with. This masque smells divine and also made my hair so soft and defined my waves and curls by diminishing frizz.”

For an even more noticeable hair transformation, use the hair mask alongside the Coco & Eve Miracle Hair Elixir, a multi-tasking hair oil that aids in quenching dry strands and keeping frizz at bay.

For as long as I can remember, I have been writing poetry. As a little girl, I adored books with poems in them and particularly loved rhyming poetry. As a teenager, I wrote love letters to my boyfriends and often ended them with “Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you,” and then I’d sign my name.

Also, I loved reading the poet Rod McKuen, who had a way of describing the ordinary in the most extraordinary ways.

In fact, that’s the type I write now – poems that look at the ordinary in an extraordinary way that also shares a universal truth that readers can relate to.

Keeping Memories with the Help of Poetry

Poetry is the voice of the soul. Poets pay attention and have a special way of capturing moments, and in doing so, they have a tendency to slow down time. They help us see a slice of the world in a way we might not have observed it before. Poetry gives us a chance to zoom in on life.

I’m particularly interested in reading and writing confessional poetry that tells a story. For this reason, I believe that all of my poems are sacred. I view them poems as memory keepers. When starting to write a poem, I begin with an image, feeling, or memory, and see where the poem will take me. I usually don’t have a plan for my poem. It organically decides where it wants to take me.

Read a Lot if You Want to Write Well

To be a good poet, it’s important to read a lot of poetry. Writing and reading poetry can be a springboard to growth, healing, and transformation. I have a number of favorite poets.

Some of the poets who have inspired me over the years include Mary Oliver, Khalil Gibran, Sharon Olds, Sylvia Plath, and Pablo Neruda. Some of their collections have themes running through each book and other collections do not.

Each of my five poetry books has a theme. My latest book, An Imaginary Affair: Poems Whispered to Neruda, was just released on July 8^th. Each poem in the collection is in response to one of Neruda’s poems, most of which are about love.

Here’s a poem I’d love to share with you, which illustrates how poetry keeps our memories

Ode to Memory

From the moment I rise in the morning
how I remember everything
where my slippers sleep,
how to get downstairs,
where to find my dog
and how to brew my coffee.
I love to remember
my first coffee in a Parisian café
at age sixteen with grandpa—
strong espresso and sugar cube,
and how the server was so kind.
I will always remember
not what people do for me,
nor what they say,
but how they make me feel.
I will always remember my first love,
how and where it happened,
the sound of his name,
and how he held me,
and how scared
we were when blood gushed from me
onto his parents’ bed,
them at movie theater,
and how embarrassed I was,
yet how close it made us.
I’ll always remember
the feeling of being loved
in that way – for the very first time.

Poetry prompt: Consider writing a poem tapping into your own memories or one particular blissful memory that stands out for you.

Have you attempted to write poetry? Was it about a feeling, a story, a memory? What was the result? Did you share it with someone?

I’ve been dying, double-processing, balayaging and highlighting my hair since middle school. Because of this, I’ve become used to my hairdressers not so subtly pointing out that my locks could use some major TLC whenever I sit in their chairs. Listen, ladies, I get it. But I need my bleach and my hot tools!

Because of my not-so-healthy hair practices, I’ve tried and tested out practically every conditioning treatment and repair serum out there. By this point, I basically have a graveyard for empty haircare bottles in my trashcan. But honestly, so many of these cult-favorite treatments have left my locks feeling weighed down and greasy. Most of the time, my hair feels good and soft the night I shower and use them, but by the next morning, it’s back to feeling brittle or looking messy. Then by the time I put heat on it, the strands feel rough once more. It’s an endless and frustrating cycle that I didn’t think was possible to break—until now.

I’ve finally found one bouncing treatment that works with—not against—my hair habits, and leaves my strands feeling silky smooth for days.

It should come as no surprise that my new favorite hero product comes from the Jennifer Aniston-approved brand, Living Proof. Known and loved for its wide selection of smoothing creams and dry shampoos, the brand takes hair science extremely seriously. Instead of whipping up new treatments as fast as possible to stick to the trends, its team of scientists spends whatever time is needed in order to achieve a treatment that’s up to their extremely high standards. So is the case for the latest and greatest product, the Triple Bond Complex serum.

Knowing that consumers like you and me what results fast, Living Proof wanted to do the impossible: create a treatment that treats damaged hair as fast as possible in as few steps as possible. And, in this case, treatment doesn’t just mean conditioning during use. When you use the Triple Bond Complex serum, you get results that last for a week—at least.

Here’s how it works:

Triple Bond Complex Leave-in Hair Treatment

Living Proof’s Triple Bond Complex creates new bonds in hair follicles to strengthen and treat our locks. Not only does it help build back damaged tresses, but it also protects them. All you have to do is apply two to three pumps of the treatment into your damp and clean hair once a week, let it sit for 10 minutes and then apply heat—yes, heat!—to your locks.

When you add the heat into the equation, it essentially locks in the hair strengthener so that it stays put for good. Now, when you do your weekly blowout, you can do so knowing that the heat you’re using isn’t hurting your locks, but helping them. How’s that for innovation?

This treatment makes hair a whopping eight times stronger, according to the brand, and it doesn’t wash away the next time you shower. Its made with a patent-pending combination of lipids and peptides that protect your hair from heat and UV damage, a biomimetic blend that smooths hair fibers and makes your locks shinier and smoother, and a cuticle-sealing agent that helps hair behave when you style it.

What’s more, it helps hair color last longer. What can’t this treatment do?!

I’ve been testing the Triple Bond Complex out for more than a month (so have used it once a week for a total of four times) and my hair has completely changed. It feels softer, stronger and smoother. Immediately after the first use, I felt the difference in my locks. I used my go-to Revlon styler and was shocked when the typical flyaways and frizzy pieces that I’m so used to were flattened and smooth.  I didn’t change anything about my routine other than adding this treatment into it.

The treatment retails for $45 for a 45 mL bottle and $20 for a 15mL bottle (so you’re saving money getting the bigger one) and will surely last you a year. After all, you’ll only be using a few pumps once a week. It’s worth every penny, in my opinion. My hair has completely changed in the way it looks and feels. Before trying out the bond complex, I thought my locks would always slightly resemble the look and feel of hay. But now, I feel like I’m one of those women in a shampoo commercial with my shiny gorgeous hair blowing in the wind.

In fact, I’m shocked I haven’t been cast for one yet.

Triple Bond Complex Leave-in Hair Treatment Travel Size

According to Living Proof, stylists prefer this treatment compared to other popular ones, and I feel the same. It’s so much simpler to use and continues to work even after I wash my hair a few days later. With other popular treatments, I have to keep using them whenever I wash my locks in order to see and feel results, but with this one, I don’t have to worry about using it daily.

I like to use this treatment on Self-Care Sundays so that I start the week off looking and feeling great. Because let’s be honest, nothing makes you feel better than a head full of beautiful hair.

No matter your hair’s texture, color, or length, you’ll be able to use this treatment and feel the results take place. I mean, just look at the before and after photos.

Do you remember a television ad that said, “You’ve come a long way, baby?” It was an ad in the 70s for Virginia Slim cigarettes, and the jingle continues, “You’ve got your own cigarette now, baby, you’ve come a long way.”

We certainly have come a long way since that ad. First, I hope we have moved beyond defining ourselves by smoking. Second, being called “baby” may work for some intimate partners but not for women as a whole. As for “slim,” it is still overplayed.

In 2020, I wrote a blog for Sixty and Me, breaking the glass ceiling. In that article, I focused on the internal messaging within myself and other women that hold us back. In this blog, I turn my gaze outward to ask how far we have come? The path to get here has not been easy, but we are only part way on the path.

It Is a Long Process

We have to remind ourselves that the changes were not handed to us. It took nearly 100 years of fighting for women’s suffrage in the United States. And women didn’t have the right to vote in national elections until about 100 years ago. Nevertheless, women, and many men who supported them, fought for this right – including some who were beaten, harassed, and tortured.

My entry into the fight for women’s rights started in college. After being raped at 15, it took five years before I joined a support group to work through the trauma. In that group, our healing led to starting Sonoma County Women Against Rape.

At that time, it was still legal for men to rape their wives because women were considered men’s possessions. We worked to have that changed; unfortunately, in some countries it is still legal. Our rape crisis efforts in the 70s and the Me-Too movement have impacted women’s lives worldwide.

We Make Our Own Path

I raised my daughters with the book, Our Bodies Ourselves. Yet, adolescent females continue to be exposed to messaging that links their social worth to body image, including beauty, weight, and other aspects of appearance. Unfortunately, that also impacts seniors (see my Sixty and Me blog, How Do We Maintain a Positive Body Image as We Age).

Since the 70s, more things have changed for women. More women are leaders in politics, corporations, and science than ever. I was a school superintendent, a field generally occupied by men, and I have friends who are scientists and filmmakers.

My daughter owns a business; one of my daughters-in-law is a lawyer, and the other is a crime scene investigator. Yet, many barriers and glass ceilings continue to exist today.

A global study on gender equality and women’s rights found that the Covid-19 pandemic disproportionately affected women. Females had higher job loss rates than men, with the burden of caring for families during school closures and other significant disruptions. That augmented the many inequitable conditions that women face.

The Facts

• According to 2018 Census data, women make about 80% of what men make nationwide. However, females receive less pay for the same work as their male counterparts. The average full-time female worker earned $42,295, while the average full-time male worker earned $52,144, and it is worse for women who are not white.
• Oppression is experienced by people who don’t conform to gender stereotypes (e.g., demeaning name-calling – tomboy, she-man).
• Under-representation of women in elected office, CEOs worldwide, and science fields.
• More than half (53%) of women in a new study from Synack said a “glass ceiling” prevents them from achieving specific roles in their organizations. For minority women, that number was 71%.
• One-third of the world’s girls lack access to education.

So, Where Does That Leave Us Today?

Many of our children grew up without realizing the struggle that brought women the vote and the many rights we have today. The battle for equal rights continues and is growing stronger as younger women (and men) realize they cannot take any of our rights for granted, nor can we sit by and let them erode.

We can make our voices heard with our friends, families, and the world. One way to do it is by exercising our right to vote. You may be surprised to consider that many elections are decided by tiny margins, so every vote counts.  

After reading Sixty and Me for over five years, I know many of you are leaders and care about equity for women. What have you witnessed over the decades? What priorities do you see for women today?
