My girl Annie sent me an email that I think is worth sharing with you. Annie is an eyebrow goddess, and therefore I implicitly trust her advice (though I haven’t yet tried this trick myself). 
Here is her brow wisdom.
DC,
Two words for you: castor oil. Rub it in 2 times a day, then use what remains on a finger on lashes. You’ll find it is in almost all brow/lash growth products, and that is actually how I fell upon that beauty jam.
Love,
AM
Castor oil has many useful applications, including breaking up scar tissue I hear. One word of caution, after some advice from a well-known body worker, my friend Trisha rubbed castor oil all over her midsection in an effort to break up scar tissue from a gnarly accident and subsequent surgeries. Trish tends to do things balls to the wall and the intensity of her bedtime castor oil application wasn’t any exception. The next morning after a vigorous 2 hour yoga intensive, Trisha darted back to her apartment, but didn’t quite make it before she shit her pants. Even worse? She dropped her drawers and ran up the stairs Porky Pig style (shirt + no pants), and a dude was walking his dog in the alley and caught her bare shitty ass running up the stairs. Let Trisha’s humiliation serve as your warning. Castor oil is great, but take it easy or you can shit your pants. 
I was under the impression we all decided that super grainy scrubs were no bueno. Does anything take you back to middle school like St. Ives Medicated Apricot Scrub? I came into this Acure Brightening Facial Scrub by way of a friend who manages the beauty and supplement department of Whole Foods. He gets so much good shit and thankfully he shares. Amazing friend. 
The gritty texture of Acure Brightening Facial Scrub is quite coarse and not suitable for everyday use for most folks. To summarize the experience, imagine massaging a bit of ground up kelp and sand on your face as it releases an organic earthy-oceanic fragrance. 
As you can see, the scrub contains quite a few powerhouse antioxidant sources, but I’m not confident I’m receiving much of them during a two minute exfoliation. Truthfully, I suspect most of the components of this blend get washed down the drain before activating any meaningful results. This product is the crunchy-granola equivalent of St. Ives. If you are on the hunt for a natural, organic, thoughtfully-manufactured alternative to the old standby, consider Acure. 
Go outside. Wasted the summer on the sofa? There is still plenty of time to get off your ass and feel the sun on your face. It doesn’t have to be an all day commitment. My friend Trisha and I took a short but challenging hike over the weekend and celebrated with smoothies and pancakes. I was back on the couch with the bong by 3 pm, but this time with a misguided sense of accomplishment. 
Go natural. Lose the make-up, hair dryer, and trappings of effort and just go as you are for at least a day. See how good you look free from all the cosmetic “enhancement.” Ever since I stopped brushing my hair like an Olsen everyone keeps saying how great it looks. A dialed-down you might receive surprisingly interesting reactions. Why not cultivate an effortless look by actually using less effort?
Embrace frivolity. Before September strikes, enjoy a moment of total silliness. Play in a sprinkler. Wear ridiculous vintage. Smile at strangers. Read Jacqueline Susann. Send a postcard. Shamelessly court fun.
Many of us want to get away from chemically-laden traditional antiperspirants, but how do we do this without sweating and stanking like some unwashed dready on Phish tour. The 90′s are mercifully over. It’s not a good look. Or odor.
At Coachella, my friend Annie told me this long-winded story about this great all-natural deodorant. When she got to the end of her description of this magical product, she couldn’t remember the name of it. Like porn without a money shot, I frustratingly informed her that such a build up without a climax is the conversational equivalent of blue balls. A few days after we got home, she emailed me the name of her beloved mystery anti-stink – Herban Cowboy. 
Herban Cowboy makes natural deodorants aimed at men and women, but I prefer the version marketed to men. It smells earthy and fresh and seems to incidentally mellow the sweat. I wouldn’t trust it for a job interview or anything, but if you are looking to get away from controversial aluminum-based products consider Herban Cowboy’s vegan, natural deodorant. Why not unleash your natural funk? Cover up all your pheromones with chemical blockers and you’ll never get laid. 
I’m loving Dr. Hauschka Translucent Bronze Concentrate right now. Wear alone or enjoy the way it mixes beautifully with foundation. 
Natural, with an earthy botanical fragrance, Dr. Hauschka Translucent Bronze Concentrate is easy summer glow in just one pump. The bottle will last you forevah. Highly recommended even for the make-up haters.
