You will first of all need to wash your hair with the shampoo and towel - dry your hair well. You can then apply the conditioner and leave it for some time, since this will help in straightening the hair, along with making them soft. You can then styling iron to gently straighten your hair. Alternately you can use the blow drier along with a rounded comb to create curls too.

Celebrities and Cocktails

The Art of Parties and Staying Slim

What is the celebrity beauty secret the stars all seem to share about weight control and alcohol? Whenever people get to see celebrities either in movies, at hotels or at some resort spot, each time they appear to be sipping a cocktail. Parties, parties, parties which all gives us a fair amount of celebrity gossip in the media. But are not cocktails full of calories? Sure they are, but Celebs do not gain weight in most cases.

To make matters worse, many Hollywood parties serve super sized calorie rich cocktails. Many are disguised under fancy and tempting names like Key Lime Pie Martini, Chocolate Syrup martini or Hot Buttered rum. For most people, it takes only a sip of these drinks and the lust for more is unstoppable.
