I don't know if it's the return of the sun, the sudden, massive snowstorms, the wind or perhaps a combination of all of the above and more, but the months of February though April tend to bring fly-aways, split-ends and, of course, hat head on the colder days. 
So what can all of us who suffer through the horrors of winter hair do to ease our suffering? Apparently there are a number of pretty simple ways to tame static, prevent flakes caused by dryness and maintain shine despite the crazy weather. Check out the tips listed here for ideas on how to keep you hair looking luscious, even in the waning days of winter. <p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/27/fit-beauty-looking-after-your-hair-in-the-waning-days-of-winter/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fit Beauty: Looking after your hair in the waning days of winter</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.thesoko.com/thesoko/article1648-8547-257-2.html>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/27/fit-beauty-looking-after-your-hair-in-the-waning-days-of-winter/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1143616/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/27/fit-beauty-looking-after-your-hair-in-the-waning-days-of-winter/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>conditioner</category><category>dry</category><category>dull</category><category>ends</category><category>flakes</category><category>fly-aways</category><category>hair</category><category>hat</category><category>head</category><category>lifeless</category><category>moisturize</category><category>moisturizer</category><category>split-ends</category><category>weather</category><category>winter</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 27 Mar 2008 06:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fit Beauty: Preparation is the key to holiday beauty</title><link>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/20/fit-beauty-preparation-is-key-to-holiday-beauty/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/20/fit-beauty-preparation-is-key-to-holiday-beauty/</guid><comments>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/20/fit-beauty-preparation-is-key-to-holiday-beauty/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[Traveling is easily one of my favorite activities. Whether it's a short road trip with friends or an across the globe adventure, as long as I can get the time off work and scrape together enough money to go, I'm in. The only thing I don't like, is the dazed and crazed look I often sport after several hours of travel time. 
I wrote not so long ago about an article that gave tips on how you can maintain your good looks while on a flight -- drinking lots of water and no alcohol, sleep and movement are all key. This time I've come across an article that will help you prepare beforehand, including advice on what to pack and which beauty treatments to try before you hit the road. Whether you're traveling for business or for pleasure, the advice listed here will make sure that you're looking great as soon as you land. <p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/20/fit-beauty-preparation-is-key-to-holiday-beauty/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fit Beauty: Preparation is the key to holiday beauty</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.thesoko.com/thesoko/article1754-8547-261-2.html>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/20/fit-beauty-preparation-is-key-to-holiday-beauty/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1143614/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/20/fit-beauty-preparation-is-key-to-holiday-beauty/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>airplane</category><category>automobile</category><category>beauty</category><category>car</category><category>eyes</category><category>face</category><category>flight</category><category>hair</category><category>holiday</category><category>ideas</category><category>plane</category><category>road</category><category>skin</category><category>tips</category><category>train</category><category>trip</category><category>vacation</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 20 Mar 2008 06:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fit Beauty: Going to the dogs</title><link>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/13/fit-beauty-going-to-the-dogs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/13/fit-beauty-going-to-the-dogs/</guid><comments>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/13/fit-beauty-going-to-the-dogs/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[I know that people who don't have pets or who aren't big animal lovers can't understand how those of us with furry friends can possibly think of dogs and cats and friends, family members and even children. I suppose these people think it's ridiculous to shell out perfectly good money on specialty treats for pets. To an extent I can see where they're coming from -- fancy clothing for cats and dogs is a bit extreme in my opinion -- but I will happily spend hard-earned cash on fun stuff for my dog.
I know that I'm not the only one. Most major, dog-friendly cities (Vancouver being the first that comes to my mind) have got fancy dog salons and boutiques in pretty much every trendy neighborhood. While I usually stick with funny squeaky toys and the occasional cute new collar, other dog owners out there will open their wallets for specialized grooming products, accessories, clothing, bedding and more. <p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/13/fit-beauty-going-to-the-dogs/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fit Beauty: Going to the dogs</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.sexybeaststyle.com/>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/13/fit-beauty-going-to-the-dogs/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1138879/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/13/fit-beauty-going-to-the-dogs/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>accessories</category><category>beauty</category><category>best</category><category>clothes</category><category>collar</category><category>collars</category><category>dog</category><category>friend</category><category>grooming</category><category>health</category><category>love</category><category>man's best friend</category><category>Man'sBestFriend</category><category>mutt</category><category>pet</category><category>pooch</category><category>pup</category><category>puppy</category><category>pups</category><category>scent</category><category>tags</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 13 Mar 2008 06:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fit Beauty: Cheap, at-home beauty</title><link>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/06/fit-beauty-cheap-at-home-beauty/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/06/fit-beauty-cheap-at-home-beauty/</guid><comments>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/06/fit-beauty-cheap-at-home-beauty/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[As much as I enjoy splurging from time to time on pricey beauty products, I also really like trying out simple, DIY beauty items. Not so long ago I wrote about home-made hair care -- using foods like mayonnaise and beer to soften and brighten your hair. I think what I like about at-home beauty is that, since the tips are usually cheap, barring any major disasters you can figure out which products you like without having to waste a tonne of money on stuff that turns out to be not so great. 
I was pretty excited to find this list of 10 great budget beauty products that you can make at home. They're all really simple, containing only a few ingredients each. In addition, a number of the 'recipes' include a lot of the same ingredients -- like essential oils and rubbing alcohol, so you only have to buy a few things and can still try most of the ideas. All you need is a range of empty bottles and containers and you're good to get started. <p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/06/fit-beauty-cheap-at-home-beauty/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fit Beauty: Cheap, at-home beauty</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.wisebread.com/ten-budget-beauty-products-you-can-make-at-home>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/06/fit-beauty-cheap-at-home-beauty/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1132980/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/06/fit-beauty-cheap-at-home-beauty/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>at-home</category><category>baking</category><category>beauty</category><category>bottles</category><category>cheap</category><category>conditioner</category><category>containers</category><category>DIY</category><category>essential</category><category>hair</category><category>items</category><category>oil</category><category>powder</category><category>pricey</category><category>products</category><category>shampoo</category><category>simple</category><category>skin</category><category>spray</category><category>tips</category><category>water</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 06 Mar 2008 06:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fit Beauty: Looking good despite a hangover</title><link>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/28/fit-beauty-looking-good-despite-a-hangover/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/28/fit-beauty-looking-good-despite-a-hangover/</guid><comments>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/28/fit-beauty-looking-good-despite-a-hangover/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[I tend to think that moderation is the best way to go when it comes to most things, including alcohol consumption. However, I'd be a liar if I said I always followed my own rule. We all overindulge from time to time -- sometimes it can be easy to get carried away when you're having a good time. Despite the resulting hangovers, life goes on and we all have to pay for our overindulging. 
If you find yourself in a situation where you've woken up with a raging headache, nausea, red eyes (etc) and don't have the luxury of laying around all day recovering in front of the TV, here are some tips from AOL's All About You on how to look good if you're hungover but still have to go about your daily life.<p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/28/fit-beauty-looking-good-despite-a-hangover/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fit Beauty: Looking good despite a hangover</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.aol.allaboutyou.com/Living/dietwellbeing/lookinggoodwithahangover/?MemID=1>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/28/fit-beauty-looking-good-despite-a-hangover/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1126679/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/28/fit-beauty-looking-good-despite-a-hangover/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>alcohol</category><category>booze</category><category>brush</category><category>cream</category><category>dehydrate</category><category>dehydrated</category><category>drink</category><category>endorphins</category><category>exercise</category><category>face</category><category>hangover</category><category>moisturize</category><category>scents</category><category>shave</category><category>shower</category><category>sleep</category><category>smell</category><category>teeth</category><category>tips</category><category>toner</category><category>wash</category><category>water</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 28 Feb 2008 18:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fit Beauty: Deconstructing the facial</title><link>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/21/fit-beauty-deconstructing-the-facial/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/21/fit-beauty-deconstructing-the-facial/</guid><comments>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/21/fit-beauty-deconstructing-the-facial/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[What's the big deal about a facial? I used to ask this question of my facial-fanatic friends until I had one myself. I imagine that anyone who has ever gone for a professional facial would agree that they're pretty great. Other than the extractions, pretty much everything about this ultimate pampering experience is fantastic. 
Some facials are definitely better than others -- one in particular that sticks out for me included lower leg and foot, full arm, shoulder, neck and head massages during the normally fairly boring bit where they leave you to relax while the face mask sets -- but extra massage or no, pretty much any facial will be a worthwhile experience. <p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/21/fit-beauty-deconstructing-the-facial/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fit Beauty: Deconstructing the facial</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://lifestyle.sympatico.msn.ca/The+art+of+the+facial/Style/Beauty/NEWContentPosting_EL.aspx?isfa=1&amp;newsitemid=238250&amp;feedname=TRANS-ELLECANADA&amp;show=False&amp;number=5&amp;showbyline=True&amp;subtitle=&amp;detect=&amp;abc=abc&amp;date=False>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/21/fit-beauty-deconstructing-the-facial/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1120624/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/21/fit-beauty-deconstructing-the-facial/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>blackhead</category><category>dry</category><category>extraction</category><category>face</category><category>facial</category><category>glow</category><category>healthy</category><category>indulge</category><category>massage</category><category>oily</category><category>skin</category><category>steam</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 21 Feb 2008 06:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fit Beauty - Beauty gifts for him</title><link>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/14/fit-beauty-beauty-gifts-for-him/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/14/fit-beauty-beauty-gifts-for-him/</guid><comments>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/14/fit-beauty-beauty-gifts-for-him/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[In last week's post I talked about ways to pamper yourself or someone you love on Valentine's Day. In one of the paragraphs I discussed gifts for men, including a short bit on grooming gifts. This week I thought I would elaborate on it because, to me, Valentine's Day often seems to be more about gifts for women. I know this may come too late for today -- or not, depending on how organized you are -- but here are a few of my favorite companies that do great grooming products for men.
Aveda is easily my favorite place to buy any kind of beauty product. I don't get to shop there often as I find it a bit pricey, but it is still great for a treat. They have a good range of items for men including hair care, skin care, body and shaving products. If your guy is mane-obsessed, you can try the pomade, grooming clay or cream, or if he's looking for face care, Aveda offers the All-Sensitive Cleanser, All-Sensitive Toner and All-Sensitive Moisturizer. <p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/14/fit-beauty-beauty-gifts-for-him/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fit Beauty - Beauty gifts for him</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.aveda.com>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/14/fit-beauty-beauty-gifts-for-him/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1114795/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/14/fit-beauty-beauty-gifts-for-him/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>aveda</category><category>beauty</category><category>body</category><category>body shop</category><category>BodyShop</category><category>care</category><category>gift</category><category>grooming</category><category>guy</category><category>H2O</category><category>hair</category><category>item</category><category>men</category><category>present</category><category>product</category><category>skin</category><category>valentine</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 14 Feb 2008 06:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fit Beauty: Pamper yourself or someone you love this Valentine's Day</title><link>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/07/fit-beauty-pamper-yourself-or-someone-you-love-this-valentines/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/07/fit-beauty-pamper-yourself-or-someone-you-love-this-valentines/</guid><comments>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/07/fit-beauty-pamper-yourself-or-someone-you-love-this-valentines/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[Valentine's Day is not for everyone. Some people love it and some people loathe it. I don't think that whether or not you're a fan of Cupid's big day necessarily has anything to do with your dating/marriage status. Sure, there are single people who hate it and attached people who love it, but I also know happy couples who feel that any time is a good time to let their other half know that they love them and single people who consider the day a great time to let their friends and family know that they care.
I don't think that you should need an excuse to pamper a loved one (or yourself) but, let's face it, sometimes we all need a reminder. If you're an annual celebrant of Valentine's Day and can't wait to spoil a loved one (or spoil yourself for the benefit of a loved one!) check out the sites that follow for a range of ideas on how to do it. And if you're normally anti-February 14th, why not try altering your thinking slightly this year and use the day as an excuse to take a break and pamper yourself?<p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/07/fit-beauty-pamper-yourself-or-someone-you-love-this-valentines/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fit Beauty: Pamper yourself or someone you love this Valentine's Day</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://beauty.ivillage.com/0,,qqn2,00.html>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/07/fit-beauty-pamper-yourself-or-someone-you-love-this-valentines/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1107982/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/02/07/fit-beauty-pamper-yourself-or-someone-you-love-this-valentines/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>beauty</category><category>day</category><category>extravagence</category><category>gift</category><category>loved one</category><category>LovedOne</category><category>marriage</category><category>pamper</category><category>partner</category><category>single</category><category>special</category><category>treat</category><category>valentine</category><category>valentine's</category><category>valentine's day</category><category>Valentine'sDay</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 07 Feb 2008 06:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fit Beauty: What to avoid when buying a bra</title><link>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/01/31/fit-beauty-what-to-avoid-when-buying-a-bra/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/01/31/fit-beauty-what-to-avoid-when-buying-a-bra/</guid><comments>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/01/31/fit-beauty-what-to-avoid-when-buying-a-bra/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[Do you remember back (way back for some of us) around the time we were about 11- or 12-years-old when sexual education started to be a regular unit in health class? Our fearless teachers managed to sit through all of the giggling long enough to explain the many technical details about growing up into men and women. As I've gotten older, I've learned a few things (whether through the experiences of friends or on my own) that I really wish they'd covered back then.
One of those things is the basics behind buying a bra. OK, I suppose it isn't really the education system's responsibility to make sure that you know how to get the right fit but it's still something that I think we girls need to learn as early as possible in order to save years of struggling through life in ill-fitting, uncomfortable brassieres. <p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/01/31/fit-beauty-what-to-avoid-when-buying-a-bra/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fit Beauty: What to avoid when buying a bra</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.ellecanada.com/Fashion/default/bra-basics-find-the-right-fit-for-your-shape-n236705p1.html>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/01/31/fit-beauty-what-to-avoid-when-buying-a-bra/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1102483/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/01/31/fit-beauty-what-to-avoid-when-buying-a-bra/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>band</category><category>boob</category><category>bra</category><category>brassiere</category><category>breast</category><category>cups</category><category>fit</category><category>fitting</category><category>measure</category><category>measurement</category><category>pain</category><category>professional</category><category>shopping</category><category>size</category><category>spill</category><category>strap</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2008 06:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fit Beauty: Home-made hair care</title><link>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/01/24/fit-beauty-home-made-hair-care/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/01/24/fit-beauty-home-made-hair-care/</guid><comments>http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/01/24/fit-beauty-home-made-hair-care/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[I am a sucker for expensive hair care products. Pricey shampoos and conditioners, any kind of serum that promises shiny results and expensive visits to the salon for a new color are all part of my hair routine. But I also know that fancy packaging and a big price tags don't necessarily guarantee quality, and that there are plenty of inexpensive alternatives. 
Many of these can be found at home -- in your refrigerator. A couple of years ago I embarked on my only little adventure wherein I tried out a few of the food products that I'd heard were great on your hair to see if they really worked. I was surprised and impressed that most of them did! Although I didn't stick with any of them (lets face it -- hair that smells of mayo isn't as enticing as hair that smells like Aveda), I still think they're worth giving a try if you're curious. <p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/01/24/fit-beauty-home-made-hair-care/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fit Beauty: Home-made hair care</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.motherearthnews.com/Homesteading-and-Self-Reliance/1982-03-01/Color-Your-Hair-Naturally.aspx>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/01/24/fit-beauty-home-made-hair-care/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1095051/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/01/24/fit-beauty-home-made-hair-care/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>beer</category><category>blond</category><category>conditioner</category><category>dye</category><category>hair</category><category>highlight</category><category>lemon</category><category>lighten</category><category>locks</category><category>mane</category><category>mayo</category><category>mayonnaise</category><category>shiny</category><category>soft</category><category>vinegar</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 24 Jan 2008 06:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fit Beauty: To shave or to wax?

I suppose the good news is that there are so many different hair removal methods out there (whether you're talking eyebrows, underarms, legs or bikini line) that we at least have some choice about how we'll free ourselves of excess hair. If you want to take a look at the long list of what's available, as well as know all of the pros and cons of each method, take a look at this article which gives a rundown on shaving, waxing, tweezing, removal creams and threading. 
I admit that I've always been afraid of waxing pretty much any part of my body. Pulling hair out at the root just doesn't sound appealing to me -- although I suppose I'm somewhat of a hypocrite as I do enjoy tweezing my eyebrows. However, I know that there are tonnes of devotees out there that wouldn't think of using any other method. According to the piece, the pros really outweigh the cons as, even though it hurts, the pain is fleeting, the results are excellent and long-lasting, and it's cheap.<p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/01/17/fit-beauty-to-shave-or-to-wax-or-is-there-a-better-way-to-remo/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fit Beauty: To shave or to wax?

You've also started to make sure you turn off any electrical equipment when it's not in use and you're taking shorter showers to save water. You reduce, reuse and recycle too.

I rarely had pimples or zits when I was a teenager and now that I'm pushing 30, I thought I was safe. Not true. I don't know what it is but suddenly I've began to have super, massive under-the-skin, painful zits on a regular basis and am getting other minor breakouts on occasion as well. 
In the last week in particular my skin has been revolting -- and I use the word 'revolting' as both a verb and an adjective in this instance. I was afraid that I was alone until I got a text message from a very good friend giving me a quick update on her life. "Things are good but nearly 30 and suddenly breaking out all over". <p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/01/03/fit-beauty-dealing-with-acne-at-any-age/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fit Beauty: Dealing with acne at any age</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/01/03/fit-beauty-dealing-with-acne-at-any-age/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1076016/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/01/03/fit-beauty-dealing-with-acne-at-any-age/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>20s</category><category>30s</category><category>acne</category><category>adult</category><category>breakout</category><category>dealing</category><category>face</category><category>habits</category><category>pimple</category><category>red</category><category>spot</category><category>squeeze</category><category>suggestions</category><category>t-zone</category><category>teenager</category><category>teens</category><category>tips</category><category>treatments</category><category>zit</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jan 2008 06:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>New  Year's Resolution: Get Great Eyebrows</title><link>http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/27/new-years-resolution-get-great-eyebrows/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/27/new-years-resolution-get-great-eyebrows/</guid><comments>http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/27/new-years-resolution-get-great-eyebrows/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[It is officially the time of year to start really thinking about New Year's Resolutions. While many people will vow to lose 20lbs, quit smoking and/or drinking, or start working out on a regular basis, I like to stick with something much smaller, simpler and -- let's face it -- easier.
While all of the aforementioned resolutions are very worthwhile, I think it's tough to decide to do any of those things just because it's the new year and everyone else is making plans to change their habits immediately following the holiday-binge season. So I think it's a great idea to stick with something less complex and work your way up to resolutions that are tougher to keep and need some serious willpower. <p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/27/new-years-resolution-get-great-eyebrows/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>New  Year's Resolution: Get Great Eyebrows</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://cosmetics.suite101.com/article.cfm/eyebrow_shape>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/27/new-years-resolution-get-great-eyebrows/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1071583/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/27/new-years-resolution-get-great-eyebrows/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>arch</category><category>brow</category><category>eyebrow</category><category>eyebrows</category><category>pluck</category><category>salon</category><category>shape</category><category>shaping</category><category>thin</category><category>threading</category><category>tweeze</category><category>tweezers</category><category>tweezing</category><category>waxing</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 27 Dec 2007 06:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fit Beauty: Yoga moves that'll help you shape your way to beauty</title><link>http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/20/fit-beauty-yoga-moves-thatll-help-you-shape-your-way-to-beauty/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/20/fit-beauty-yoga-moves-thatll-help-you-shape-your-way-to-beauty/</guid><comments>http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/20/fit-beauty-yoga-moves-thatll-help-you-shape-your-way-to-beauty/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[Is there anything yoga can't do? It tones, it strengthens, it stretches -- according to this past post by Rigel it may also help you find love (well for those who manage to avoid 'inappropriate yoga guy'). I was musing earlier today during my walk to work about all of the benefits I noticed when I was practicing yoga on a regular basis (I admit that for various reasons most of us who fall off the bandwagon would understand, it has been a while since I've been to a class). I remember feeling more limber, more energetic yet relaxed, and just generally had an enhanced feeling of well-being.
I began to wonder if yoga can also make you look good. I mean beyond the obvious tightening benefits, are there any yoga moves that will improve the shape of your body or perhaps improve the overall look of your face. Every time I used to leave yoga class I noticed that all of the participants, myself included, had a lovely glow about them. Was that just due to the excessive heat, sweating and exertion or could there be more to it?<p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/20/fit-beauty-yoga-moves-thatll-help-you-shape-your-way-to-beauty/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fit Beauty: Yoga moves that'll help you shape your way to beauty</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.siddhashram.org/a19940987.shtml>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/20/fit-beauty-yoga-moves-thatll-help-you-shape-your-way-to-beauty/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1067389/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/20/fit-beauty-yoga-moves-thatll-help-you-shape-your-way-to-beauty/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>beauty</category><category>benefits</category><category>body</category><category>face</category><category>glow</category><category>pose</category><category>poses</category><category>prevent</category><category>skin</category><category>stretches</category><category>tighten</category><category>wrinkles</category><category>yoga</category><category>youthful</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 20 Dec 2007 06:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fit Beauty: Would bangs suit you?</title><link>http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/13/fit-beauty-would-bangs-suit-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/13/fit-beauty-would-bangs-suit-you/</guid><comments>http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/13/fit-beauty-would-bangs-suit-you/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[I have been thinking about getting bangs cut into my hair for ages. I believe I first got the notion after watching the Devil Wears Prada and admiring Anne Hathaway's super cool fringe. Granted she seems to have great hair all the time but something about those bangs made me wonder if I could attempt something similar. 
After that I found myself noticing women on the street who had a fringe. Whether the bangs swooped to the side, were ultra-short or cut straight across their eye line, I thought they all looked pretty great. So after weeks of careful deliberation I took the plunge and headed to the hairdresser.
Before I the cutting began, we had a chat about which of the various fringe styles would best suit me. I didn't think I could pull off the cute but really short look and didn't think the swoop would be a dramatic enough change. So we agreed to try that straight across the forehead, just above the eyes style. I was nervous to begin with because if the look didn't work for me I had no idea how I'd hide it while my hair grew back out.<p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/13/fit-beauty-would-bangs-suit-you/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fit Beauty: Would bangs suit you?</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.lhj.com/lhj/story.jhtml?storyid=/templatedata/lhj/story/data/ShouldYouGetBangs_02042005.xml>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/13/fit-beauty-would-bangs-suit-you/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1060768/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/13/fit-beauty-would-bangs-suit-you/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>anne</category><category>bangs</category><category>consider</category><category>devil</category><category>face</category><category>frame</category><category>fringe</category><category>hair</category><category>hairstyle</category><category>hathaway</category><category>prada</category><category>shape</category><category>short</category><category>straight</category><category>style</category><category>sweep</category><category>texture</category><category>wears</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 13 Dec 2007 06:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fit Beauty: Size matters, at least as far as clothing is concerned</title><link>http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/06/fit-beauty-size-matters-at-least-as-far-as-clothing-is-concern/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/06/fit-beauty-size-matters-at-least-as-far-as-clothing-is-concern/</guid><comments>http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/06/fit-beauty-size-matters-at-least-as-far-as-clothing-is-concern/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[For quite a while now there have been a lot of giggles and jokes happening about one of pop culture's favorite new phrases, "the muffin top". As I'm sure all of you know, but in case any of you have someone managed to not yet hear the description, a "muffin top" occurs when one wears pants with a waist-size that is too small, making their stomach spill over their belt so that their mid-section resembles the top of a muffin.  While I know a small group of people who find the muffin top attractive, as far as I know most don't and tend to snicker at the thought of it. The thing about it is, a muffin top doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how much extra weight you're carrying but it has everything to do with how your clothing fits. If you've chosen jeans or pants of an appropriate size, you shouldn't have too much trouble preventing your belly -- whether large or small -- from ballooning outward. <p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/06/fit-beauty-size-matters-at-least-as-far-as-clothing-is-concern/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fit Beauty: Size matters, at least as far as clothing is concerned</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.helium.com/tm/592443/wrinkle-people-unable-afford>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/06/fit-beauty-size-matters-at-least-as-far-as-clothing-is-concern/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1056469/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/12/06/fit-beauty-size-matters-at-least-as-far-as-clothing-is-concern/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>clothes</category><category>clothing</category><category>fashion</category><category>fit</category><category>fits</category><category>fitting</category><category>muffin top</category><category>MuffinTop</category><category>shopping</category><category>size</category><category>sizing</category><category>slimming</category><category>squeeze</category><category>too-small</category><category>wear</category><category>weight</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 06 Dec 2007 11:20:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fit Beauty: Coloring Your Hair at Home</title><link>http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/11/29/fit-beauty-coloring-your-hair-at-home/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/11/29/fit-beauty-coloring-your-hair-at-home/</guid><comments>http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/11/29/fit-beauty-coloring-your-hair-at-home/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[I am a hair dye enthusiast -- I love to color my hair. While some do it to cover gray or because they've always dreamed of being a blond, brunette or red head, I do it because I love that it's a non-permanent way to considerably alter the way I look. Well that, and also due to the fact that my normal hair color is an extremely unappealing shade of mousy, ash-brown. 
While I'm happy to shell out a fair-sized amount of cash to have my hair done professionally for special occasions, I can't afford to pay expensive salon prices every time I decide I need a change. I imagine this is the case for most of you fellow dye fans out there. I know that many hairdressers will try to persuade all of us that home hair-coloring kits will forever destroy our hair, but I also know of a few who will admit that many of the products currently on the market do a pretty decent job at a much lower price. 
Having said that, if you do decide to try the DIY method, it is important to do a little research beforehand as the onus is on you to get it right. A botched at-home job will end up costing even more when you have to go to a professional to fix the splotchy, orange mess you've made of your former crowning glory. With this in mind, it's important to think about the four things listed here before you start the process.<p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/11/29/fit-beauty-coloring-your-hair-at-home/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fit Beauty: Coloring Your Hair at Home</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/dyehair/dyehair.html>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/11/29/fit-beauty-coloring-your-hair-at-home/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1050441/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/11/29/fit-beauty-coloring-your-hair-at-home/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>at-home</category><category>blond</category><category>brunette</category><category>color</category><category>crowning glory</category><category>CrowningGlory</category><category>DIY</category><category>do-it-yourself</category><category>dry</category><category>dye</category><category>expense</category><category>hair</category><category>hairdresser</category><category>home</category><category>professional</category><category>red</category><category>redhead</category><category>salon</category><category>shade</category><category>stain</category><category>style</category><category>stylist</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 29 Nov 2007 06:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fit Beauty: Online beauty sites in time for the holidays</title><link>http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/11/22/fit-beauty-online-beauty-sites-in-time-for-the-holidays/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/11/22/fit-beauty-online-beauty-sites-in-time-for-the-holidays/</guid><comments>http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/11/22/fit-beauty-online-beauty-sites-in-time-for-the-holidays/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[For many, Thanksgiving this week doesn't just mean a day of giving thanks, eating turkey, watching football, spending time with family and enjoying a day off of work. I'm sure that for a lot of you out there, one of the best things about Turkey Day is that it also signals the beginning of the holiday shopping season. I'm Canadian and we celebrate Thanksgiving at least a month before our neighbors to the south, but I know enough about American traditions to know that the day after the big event is traditionally one of the biggest and busiest shopping days of the year. 
Unfortunately, not all of us deal well with malls that are packed to capacity with bargain hunters. I'm not a good shopper and admit that I'd rather pay more for just about anything, if it means that I can avoid a tugging match with a frenzied shopaholic over the last cute hoodie or pair of yoga pants on the sale table. 
So what are we non-shoppers to do at this time of year? Most of us can't just ignore the craziness altogether and show up at a family gathering empty-handed. While it really is better to give than to receive, I'd still like to see the looks on all of our mothers' faces when, after gratefully accepting some lovely new slippers and an expensive set of sheets, we announce that this year we're just giving the gift of love and good cheer. However, I still don't want to have to spend hours of my precious holiday time duking it out for the best deal at Linens-n-Things. 
I've discovered that the answer, at least as far as I'm concerned, exists online. While a mere few years ago I was skeptical of anything I could buy on the web, online shopping has become my savior. So in the interest of the spirit of the holidays, I'd like to share with those who may not yet be in the know, two of my favorite companies to find the gift of beauty, online.
The first is the fabulous H20+, a company that has several freestanding stores across the US and Canada, but which isn't as widely available as a brand like the Body Shop or Bath and Body Works. I've had the chance to visit H20 stores in Las Vegas, Vancouver and even Sydney, Australia, and every time I walk through the doors, I feel completely relaxed. The company specializes in 'sea-derived skincare', offering products for hands, feet, face, body, hair and more. They've got a pretty fantastic men's line for those looking to find something nice for a special guy in their life, and also carry a few nice, light fragrances that smell great but don't overwhelm. I've loved pretty much every product of theirs that I've ever tried and one of the best things about H20 is that, while some of their stuff gets a bit pricey, they also offer fantastic, reasonably-priced gift sets, give away 'gift-with-purchase' items and shipping is free for any order over $100. 
My second favorite place to find great beauty items online is at the site for Vancouver-based spa company Skoah. The relatively new company only has three physical locations (2 in Vancouver and 1 in Calgary, Alberta) but will ship their products all over the United States and Canada. Like H20+, their stuff doesn't always come cheap, but as far as skincare products are concerned, they're pretty reasonable -- plus in my opinion, everything they sell smells great. I've tried a number of their products and a few of the best include the luxurious dewlux face kream, the eye kandy moisturizer and the lip dip, which at $15CDN for .5oz (15g), is an awesome deal --seriously, it will last you for years.
I'm sure that there are loads more excellent online sites where you can find some great beauty products without having to leave the comfort of your home or office, but these are just two of my personal favs. If anyone else out there has an excellent site that they've frequented, those of us hoping to avoid the mall rush this season would love to hear about it!<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/11/22/fit-beauty-online-beauty-sites-in-time-for-the-holidays/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/forward/1046073/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/11/22/fit-beauty-online-beauty-sites-in-time-for-the-holidays/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>avoid</category><category>bath and body works</category><category>BathAndBodyWorks</category><category>body shop</category><category>BodyShop</category><category>cream</category><category>day</category><category>face</category><category>frenzy</category><category>h20</category><category>hair</category><category>holiday</category><category>moisturizer</category><category>online</category><category>price</category><category>shopping</category><category>skincare</category><category>skoah</category><category>thanksgiving</category><category>traditional</category><dc:creator>Lauren Greschner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 22 Nov 2007 06:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fit Beauty: Looking after your skin during the harsh winter months</title><link>http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/11/15/fit-beauty-looking-after-your-skin-during-the-harsh-winter-mont/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/11/15/fit-beauty-looking-after-your-skin-during-the-harsh-winter-mont/</guid><comments>http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/11/15/fit-beauty-looking-after-your-skin-during-the-harsh-winter-mont/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[During the summer months plenty of lecturing goes on about looking after your skin by wearing an SPF lotion and drinking lots of water to stay hydrated. The result, for most of us, is that we look pretty darn good all summer. Later on when the plummeting temperatures and harsh winds of winter settle in, many of us aren't so well prepared and spend months suffering with chapped lips and dry skin. I know that by February my legs start to take on the appearance of a scaly fish, and are also often itchy and sore. 
There is no reason, however, why your skin can't look as good in the winter as it does in the summer -- as long as you're prepared to look after it, that is. This piece recommends concentrating on what you put in your body, as what you eat will be reflected by how you look on the outside. According to the article, a diet full of fish, beans, nuts, whole grains, leafy green veggies and flax seed oil (which is full of Omega-3 fatty acids), will help ensure your face -- and the rest of your body -- continues to look fresh during weeks of nasty weather. 
Naturally though, there are a number of ways to take care of you skin that have nothing to do with what you're eating. Some of the tips on winter skincare listed here include:
