Fridays: Terrible for productivity, but great for random conversations a.k.a. attempts to kill time without actually doing work. Here's what my co-worker and I "worked" on this morning:

Beautygirl123: Hey

Lipstickaddict27: Hey, what's up?

Beautygirl123: You working?

Lipstickaddict27: HA! What do you think?

Beautygirl123: Yeah, seriously, I'm so bored, I've checked my FB page like 50 times already … any big plans for tonight?

Lipstickaddict27: Nah, I'm so boring, I'm probably going to sit at home, watch my Arrested Development DVDs and do a facial (well, my low-budg at-home version, like this, anyway)

Beautygirl123: Aw, well that doesn't sound SO bad, at least you won't be rocking any zits -- like I am right now :(

Lipstickaddict27: Oh please, it's all in your head, but if you're worried, just try these tips, they totally worked for me

Lipstickaddict27: So what are YOU doing tonight, miss exciting?

Beautygirl123: Friend's birthday

Yeah, yeah, there are plenty of reasons to hate her -- that Proactive-perfect skin, those ginormous boobs -- but in the spirit of being all good-karma-y, here are some reasons to love that wig-wearing, easily-confused gal.

1. Those curves? Completely natural. Celebrity Sleuth Magazine says she began "blossoming" (ew, why celeb sleuth, why?) in junior high -- her current measurements are 35D-25-37.

2. Plus, no matter how her weight fluctuates, her devotion to curve-hugging clothes never wavers, gotta love the confidence.

3. Her astrological sign is a CANCER. Which means she's a cozy homebody and wears her heart on her sleeve. Awww. (Find out what your sign says about you here.)

4. Her line of shoes is not only cute, but surprisingly comfortable. So those boots were made for walking.

5. Her commercials are freakin' hilarious. Chicken-of-the-Sea anyone?

6. She's a huge fan of magic and has appeared as a magician's assistant in several magic shows. She actually

Are you sitting down? Because I'm about to drop a bomb on you: Your hair may be the wrong color. I'll give you a moment to collect yourself ...

Better? OK, so when I say wrong, I don't mean totally fake-looking (like some of these 'dos) or even bad for your skin tone. I mean that you may have been born with the wrong hair color for your personality.

Check it out and share with the group what hair color you get and if you'll be breaking out the box dye to make it happen. Hey, I've heard of stranger style inspirations ...

Considering highlights or wondering what went wrong with yours? Let these celebrities guide you towards the best (and worst) highlights for your hair type.

The similarities between these two fair-haired songbirds is striking (beyond boy-toy choices). Whether you're onTeam Jess or Team Carrie (or you're cheering for both), it's clear they're both style icons in their own right. But which diva takes the crown in a direct faceoff? Let's find out...

What's the best cut and style for my face shape? It's one of the beauty questions that's most frequently asked by women. Here are some of the best and worst styles you can select for your face shape as seen on favorite celebrities.

I'm a *total* sucker for celebrities. So when I got an invitation to attend "An Evening of Luxury With a Great Price" and meet the beautiful Lindsay Price (from "Lipstick Jungle"), I was stoked!

Let me just report that Lindsay is even more stunning in person than she is on television. I couldn't stop admiring her luminous skin. She is also very nice and really smart. So I now officially hate her ;)

We talked about recessionista strategies and got a chance to try out a new line of coordinating body sprays and anti-perspirants from Degree Women, the host of the event.

- Scent. High-quality fragrance doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. Degree Women now offers Fine Fragrance body mists with matching anti-perspirant. The bloggers at the event were treated to samples from the line, and they smell dreamy!

- Makeup. Splurge on
