Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Why narrow your choices? You want to go blond. Just leave your options open in terms of shades. And you know you want a new bathing suit, but don't set your heart on one just yet. It may be time to try a tankini!

Gal pal #1 couldn't believe her good fortune when she scored a pair of marked-down Jimmy Choo boots for an additional 20% off (complements of the flirtatious male sales rep).
Gal pal #2 could hardly contain herself when she recounted her latest makeup purchases via a buy one, get one free sale.
When it was my turn, I began bragging about all the free samples I'd snagged at my local drugstore. Both of my girlfriends unanimously agreed that while they fall into the 'savvy saver' bucket, I undoubtedly fall into the 'tightwad' club. Me? A tightwad!?!?

Antioxidants - rosewater is full of vitamin A and C which aides in reviving tired skin by stimulating the cell regeneration process. The antioxidants in rosewater offer protection from free radicals and sun damage.
Restores pH balance - Rosewater is good for all skin types as it balances sebrum. Balancing sebrum is an important step in the reduction of pore size as it is the oil that clogs the pore thus streching out the pores.
Soothing and nourishing - a natural astringent with anti-inflammatory properties and hydrating properties. Rosewater has a calming effect on congested skin conditions such as acne, dermatitis or eczema.

If you think pizza and chocolate are the bad guys behind breakouts, think again. These days, acne is blamed mostly on heredity and hormones. During puberty, a surge in male hormones called androgens (women have them, too) stimulates an increase of sebum, responsible for keeping skin moist, and keratin, needed to make hair.
