The Secret to Hollywood's Sexiest Brunettes
Despite the blonding trend amongst some of Hollywood's most head-turning brunettes, you don't have to go blond to be a certified bombshell. Maybe that's because there's a new way to make brunette hair look extra gorgeous. Brad Johns, color director for the Red Door Spas at Elizabeth Arden NYC, calls it "invisible highlighting," a salon process in which three shades of complementary browns--coffee, chocolate, dark chocolate--are all woven through the hair to give the color life and dimension. (That's salon-speak for total awesomeness.) You don't necessarily notice the different shades immediately, but the way the scene-stealing hair catches the light can't be missed. The other bonus: On natural brunettes, these invisible highlights only need to be touched-up once or twice a year for maintenance, so it's pretty wallet-friendly. Steering clear of any dye or highlights this season? Whatever your color, Johns recommends silicone drops like Davines Defining Drops
to make hair as smooth as glass after a good blow-dry.

Skuzzy Days
We all like to lounge around in sweats and do nothing but watch dumb shows like Gossip Girl or something with sexy vampires and that is completely fine. The problem is when you leave your house like that, it is always best to not look as though your a dirty bum, and I can say that without offending anyone because bums don't have computers or maybe even read? Anyway if you do not want to get out of those comfy sweats when you leave your house that is fine but make sure your not wearing a sweatshirt with those sweat pants. Always avoid wearing an outfit wear you say the word sweat twice! And definitely fix your hair so its not in a mamm bun or weird pony tail. I went out once with a sweatshirt, sweats, and my hair in a mamm bun but I only went to the library, did not think I was going to run into anyone. I was wrong, and looked like skuzzy skum. Embarrassing.

Make your new beauty trick FAB BROWS
You'll notice that eyebrows are getting bolder and more defined this season. Makeup artist Brett Freedman recently explained why this new look is catching on so quickly: "For a while, stars were going for the lash extension look, where lashes were enhanced with mascara or faux lashes to really stand out as the most attention-stealing feature on your face. Now we're moving to brows as the stronger focal point," she says.
So why is this good news? Because it's super easy to take your look from day to night with just a brow update. To get the before-five version of the look, fill in brows with a shade slightly lighter than your brow-hair color, so you see the hairs, not the makeup--it'll look more natural. At night, go for a color that's slightly darker than your natural hue to create a standout look. The only exception to this bold brow rule? Gals with dirty-blond hair. They should always stick with a taupe-y shade, no matter what time of day you're working the look.

Don't let your hair look OLD!!
I blow-dry and flat-iron OFTEN! How do I keep my hair in good shape? DEEP CONDITIONING!!!! I deep-condition once or twice a month. After I shampoo, I apply a mask to my hair, leave it under a warm towel for 15 minutes, then rinse. Voila! Soft, silky hair. If I had the cash, I would use Kevin Murphy Born.Again.Masque, but it's $50.00 (For those of you who can afford, kevinmurphy.com.au), so I opt for something more in my price range. I use Samy Beyond Repair Hair Masque cause it's only $5.99 at drugstores and does the job for cheap!

How to avoid a speeding ticket
I am probably not the person to give advice on how to not get a ticket considering the fact that I have gotten 7 tickets since I got my license only a year and a half ago, but I do have advice! SO LISTEN(:! A officer came into my government class and after the class I asked him questions on how to be able to get a warning instead of that awful green slip with at least a hundred dollar charge. Here is what he said:
- Pull over quickly and keep hands in view
- Provide information without attitude
- You do not have to say you were in the wrong but do not be really argumentative
- Police officers are trying to change your behavior when it comes to driving if you seem as though you want to change then you’re more likely to receive a warning
- Small talk with the officer is good; ask him how his day was. Police officers have bad days too.

Can't keep my priorities straight!
Finding a balance with school, work, family, and friends is always something that stresses me out. It feels as though you need three of you at least just to get the basic tasks done and have a little social time. Last night I wish I had at least two of me. I had to go the the Monroe soccer game to write an article, then work, and then come home and finish those articles that I completely slacked on, like writing Aysia's Advice, yikes. Procrastinating is never worth it! When it comes to priorities I seem to mix mine up quite a bit. My new plan is keeping a notebook with me at school and work so that I can write down ideas for new articles or Aysia's Advice.Also, instead of that extra sleep in time on weekends, I plan to get up early so I can add more practical hours to my day.

Don't be DUMB!!!!
I did not know what my advice would be this week, but I figured I would give advice of what not to do. I am a high school student who has to deal with high school students. No Bueno! Especially the boys. I never wanted to be the boyfriend stealer or the ‘other woman’ but I caved. DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU’RE PREPARED! And if you do this then
1) Make sure you can win the guy
2) Instead be friends with the guy until he dumps her
3) Do not even attempt if the girlfriend is psycho
My problem is I did not follow any of these rules. The other girl found out and it escalated from there, results no boy and a crazy girl mad at me.

How to be Jennifer Aniston not Paris Hilton!
Now they both seem to have boy problems so we are not talking about their relationship issues, because it seems too hard to keep up with; instead their skin. Jennifer Aniston maintains a natural glow all year, but yes she probably can afford the best of the best. Paris Hilton can too but she seems to look like a pumpkin all year. Too avoid Paris Hilton's chester the cheeto look stop tanning everyday! Never do a spray tan unless you want to be a 'Guido' and to save money and get the Jennifer Aniston look you need to do this.
1) Buy Dove's Self Tanning Lotion
2) Do not overuse it
3) Only 4 days a week put a thin layer all over at night before bed, make sure you take a shower in the morning. If you don't then you will have the greasy feeling all day, yikes.
4) Also, Hoola Bronzer from Benefit is a very good way to add an extra bronze
