Hasta La Ideas

True to the Ralph Lauren branding, all four scents are classic and exude a clean masculinity. If you’re looking for something a little more sensual and musky, the Big Pony #2 is perfect. Need something a little more unique, but still appropriate for everyday? Try the Big Pony #4.

It’s so hard to shop for boys! What’s a unique gift idea for the men in your life?

While light, refreshing smells are great for hot sunny days, cold weather calls for more saturated and sensual scents. If you’re into a more spicy scent, look for notes of sandalwood or bergamot. More of a floral scent fan? Try rose or gardenia blossoms, or notes of jasmine. Vanilla is always a sensuous backdrop to any winter scent and for those who really want to make an exotic statement, a touch of leather or honey is unique and sexy without being overly femme.

Celebs always seem to have perfect hair. Whether it’s a precise updo, or a tousled bed head style, celeb always step out looking like a million bucks. But, in fact, their hair ‘dos cost nothing close! With a few easy and affordable tricks of the trade, celebs can rest assured that they’ll always step out looking perfectly coiffed and polished. So just what are these tricks of the trade anyway? We’ve gathered three super simple and quick celeb hair secrets that anyone can try and succeed at, making sure that we all get to step out looking like a million bucks … for a fraction of the price!

Hair Extensions – Not all of us are born with a head of thick, lush hair that can grow to incredible lengths, but all of us can fake it! Go ahead and splurge on high quality hair extensions and either clip them in yourself, or go the next step and get them professionally done. It’s better to spend a little more now than to spend multiple times on mediocre extensions because high-quality extensions look and feel more real, last longer and can be re-used when taken care of properly.

Root Perm – Not ready to have hair that isn’t yours just yet? Try a simple root perm to add more volume to your hair. A root perm adds lift to the base of hairs to give an appearance of thicker, more luxurious locks. A root perm is only applied to a small section of hair near the crown so there’s minimal damage, and they last from two to four months.

Wispy Side-Swept Bangs – Wispy bangs brushed nonchalantly to the side are always a sensual look. Make sure the fringe is not too heavy as that can weigh down a look, and opt for an eye-grazing length as opposed to a blunt, short style for added sex appeal. Wispy, side-swept bangs work whether the hair is down or in a sophisticated up-do!
