This week’s yoga pose is downward-facing dog, part of the traditional sun salutation sequence, and also a great asana to do on its own. Read more »
UPDATE: This post originally ran on November 12th 2012 but we love using party paint for New Year’s Eve so we wanted to bring it back for inspiration!
I was a huge fan of our festival paint this past spring and summer so when I heard we were getting some gorgeous new colors for parties and the holiday season, I couldn’t wait to test them out. Read more »
I usually associate hair chalk with summer and music festival season, but it recently occurred to me that it would be fun to use for New Year’s Eve as well! I’ve never actually used it before so it was fun to try it out. The two ways I liked best were choosing one bright color and making a solid streak in the hair, and using two similar shades a to create an ombre effect at the ends of my hair. Read more »

Hair chalking is great idea, also I like colored hair spray for similar temperary effect for my hair.

The thought of exercising outside in winter is not exactly appealing to me… I am not a fan of the cold. However, it is more appealing to me than the idea of going to a gym. In an attempt to motivate myself, I’ve made a list of 5 ways I want to get outside and exercise this winter. Read more »

Skating and/or playing hockey are great ways to warm up and exercise in the winter! Also cross-country skiing-no resort or mountain needed, if you live somewhere with lots of snow everywhere.... I can only dream of being able to run outside in the winter... :(

I really needed this post. I love the idea of running but not do I hate getting up and freezing. You are right and it does warm up quickly. I am going to have to keep reminding myself of that.
During the winter months I always without a doubt get a winter cold, but this year I’m determined not to let it get the better of me. I’ve taken note of simple cold-fighting tricks that will help me prevent the symptoms from arising. I know it’s a horrible feeling when you start to feel all congested, your throat becomes all scratchy and then the sneezes start and before you know it you’re laying in bed with a heavy head not being able to enjoy the holiday.

ginger! lots of it.
I have quite long hair and when it comes to the winter months when layering is key, my hair becomes a nightmare. When I’m wearing my coat and chunky scarf my locks become all tangled and knotted. Lately, I’ve come up with a solution and that is to braid my hair into cowgirl braids. Read more »

I am IN LOVE with the third picture!!!
Like most girls, I collect so many nail polish colors it’s all most scary, it makes me happy picking up a beautiful color that will look fun on my nails. So when Free People launched their very own line of nail polish in a rainbow of colors I was over the moon.

Hey Katie! it's our DIY alternative tree :) http://blog.freepeople.com/2012/12/diy-alternative-christmas-tree/
For me, one of the hardest parts about traveling is deciding which beauty products to take along with me. I’m a product fiend, and when I can’t take all 600 of my beloved potions on a trip with me, I just don’t feel like myself. Read more »

hey! im very careful with the products i use everyday so i looked up benetint after using the first bottle. dont know if it's true but there are a few articles that say that benetint contains high level of lead. here is the article! http://safecosmetics.org/article.php?id=831

Thanks for reading, Kim!! Nars Multiples has a creamy consistency whereas Benetint is a liquid stain, so I think it depends on your preference!

This year was no totally different. All across the net over the course of the last week of October was one video when another showing ladies and men the way to rock the smoldering smoky eye look with their day costume or simply to urge a sultry look on the scariest night of the year.

I really like make up and hair tutorials that this blog offers generously, but the hair tutorials tend to be directed towards long haired gals. I really would appreciate a video for shoulder length bobs and shorter hair like this model's hair length. It would be amazing. Thank you!

Hey guys, I am the Free People yoga instructor and have some answers for ya. I will see if I can to some some of these poses in the upcoming weeks. If you are pregnant Warrior II, a wide legged squat, and pigeon pose are good for you. If you have tight hip flexors you should play with pigeon and take bridge pose with your one ankle in a figure laying across the opposite thigh. Stay there and let the knee widen and drop to the side. If you are looking for guidance immediately check out yogajournal.com. They give good advice for advance poses. We will get there eventually. There are so many poses to touch on first. Be well everyone. Namaste.

I've been told that I need to stretch my hip flexors; is there a yoga pose which helps with this?
