By now you’ve surely heard the hoopla surrounding Jon Hamm’s Jon Hamm. While we’re certainly not opposed to it, we like to live by the mantra that less is more. Less talk, that is. Aren’t things inherently cooler the less mainstream they are? We’ve compiled our favorite undervalued…
On the outside you’re like:
But on the inside you’re like:
And when you tell your besties, you’re all like:
Valentine’s Day is almost always a letdown. You set your expectations high and prepare for a good time: shave your legs, put on your good bra, and hope to see some action. In reality, the hundred tealight candles you set up all over the apartment set your comforter on fire. But don’t…

Planning a wedding is a lot of work! I know because I just got engaged, which means I’m writing this from inside a fort made of wedding magazines. You need to select a menu, choose a lighting motif, and make sure your Aunt Margret is seated at least 500 feet away…
On occasion, we wake up early enough to take a shower, have a cup of coffee, blow-dry our hair, and make it to work on time. And by “on occasion,” we mean once every few months. How on earth do people find the time to wash their hair every single morning? Truth bomb: they don’t, and you…
You ate your way through Thanksgiving and now it’s time to detox! A post-holiday detox is like saying “I’m sorry and I’ll never do it again” to your body, giving it just enough time to recover before you yell “PSYCH!” and stuff it full of latkes. A massage to work out the kinks in your…
You know what they say: winter’s all fun and games until someone gets chapped lips. We all know cold temperatures can be hell on your hair, face, and nails… which is pretty unfair, given that the rest of your body will be covered with an unflattering, ankle-length parka until March. So we…
As you may have noticed, we’re all a little beauty-obsessed here at Lifebooker. Which means our watercooler talk often devolves into some preeeeetty heated debates. Liquid liner or pencil? To pixie or not to pixie? But one thing we can all agree on: BB cream is the best thing to happen to our faces since we first mastered the smize.
By now you guys probably know the history: BB cream has been the “it” product in Korea since 2005, but it was actually invented by a German dermatologist in the 1950s to help patients heal and mask redness after a facial peel. The original formula contained bisabolol and panthenol, known for their anti-inflammatory and regenerating properties. It finaaaally made its way to the US about a year ago, and ever since, the miracle makeup-slash-skincare product has been EVERYWHERE.
Now that BB cream is blowin’ up stateside, we obviously had to jump in with our two cents. Which means our editor Sam has been tirelessly dotting, blending, and patting all week, all in the name of beauty. Here’s what she had to say about how they all stack up (cue West Side Story soundtrack):
My vag speaks five different languages; told your vag, bitch, make me a sandwich.
REVIEW: Ciate Velvet Manicure Kit
We like to think we’re about 50% responsible journalists and 30% arts-and-crafts enthusiasts (the remaining 20% being booze, obviously). So when Ciate’s new velvet manicure kit arrived at the Lifebooker office, we were ALL. ABOUT IT.
Allure.com recently polled 2,000 men and women across the country for their eagerly awaited American Beauty Survey, and the results are in. And while they totally dropped the ball on settling the “should we cut our bangs or grow them out?” debate raging at the Lifebooker office, they…
John Mayer recently cut off his hair after his fling with Katy Perry ended. (And thank goodness, because it was starting to look like he was just a few weeks away from a full-on Zooey Deschanel ‘do).
He’s not the first newly single person to change his look—though…
