How-To: Banish Those Pesky Post-Waxing Eyebrow Bumps
Yesterday, Yum came to me with a dilemma. She had her brows waxed over the weekend, and much to her dismay, was left with reddish bumps as a result.

How-To: Kristen Stewart's Faux Bowl Cut at the 2009 VMAs
It's pretty safe to say that last night's 2009 MTV VMAs were one of the most entertaining in recent history. You had your Kanye outburst, Pink's Cirque du Soleil-style act, Lady Gaga's bloody performance, and cast members from Twilight taking the stage to premiere the New Moon trailer.
