This summer, nail art has become one of the best forms of self-expression and lately it’s all about texture. Pixilated and three-dimensional looks can effortlessly be achieved using glittered or holographic nail polish as well as nail beads and decals. Additionally, many companies have been releasing textured polishes, with finishes such as “sand,” “feather,” “fuzzy,” “concrete,” and “velvet,” that create a bold texture for those who are prepared to dive right into this summer trend.

As every one knows, the sunrays during the summer months cause damage not only to skin but to hair as well.  Sun damage to the hair may cause fading in your hair color or causing dry and brittle hair.  The UV-rays may cause permanent damage to hair if your hair is not taken care of properly.  If you are planning to stay in the sun for a while, be sure to use a protective sunscreen on your hair before stepping out.
If you are in the sun and you have extensions, your extensions needs extra hydration. 

Life can be tricky.  Life can be unpredictable.  Just when we make plans, life has a way of changing on us.  The key is trusting in the divine timing of things. Yes, I know that sounds a bit cliché, but I do believe that the more we can develop a keen sense of trust inside– the gentler, perhaps even easier life can become.  We know those days when everything seems to go wrong… those days that we say to ourselves, can’t anything go my way, and then even more stuff derails us!

Dear Cathy,
Summer is almost here and my dilemma starts again.  I’m sure I am not alone in that I love having a tan! I feel like I look healthier and a little thinner (ha ha).  The problem is I am trying to stay out of the sun. All the reports on skin damage and increased skin cancer from the sun and tanning booths have me concerned.  I’ve tried self tanning lotions and they work okay, it’s just a lot of work to get it on even, and some of them turn me orange. I also tried a spray tan where the person was spraying every nook and cranny (if you know what I mean) and that was uncomfortable. Is there anything that looks great, is easy, private and safe, or am I asking for too much?
