Pantene has partnered with the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund and they now have Hilary Swank on board to represent the Pantene Beautiful Lengths charity campaign.

Hilary commented in WWD on this past week stating, “I have lost multiple family members to cancer and witnessed their struggle first hand. I’ve never heard of anything quite like Pantene Beautiful Lengths, and I’m proud to be asked to promote the goals of such a unique and heartfelt program.” (Hilary Swank, right, during production of Pantene public service announcement)

The Academy Award Winner will be appearing in print and public service announcements to raise awareness for the charity to get the public more involved in donating their hair, as well as actually growing her own hair and donating it. All the wigs made are by Pantene partner HairUWear. Swank plans to cut her hair later this year in an event that will be public in hopes of generating more of us to do the same. She may even have a family member do the cutting, that’s the rumor.

Pantene launched the Pantene Beautiful Lengths campaign in 2006 with Diane Lane and more than 17000 ponytails were donated resulting in 2000 free human hair wigs! This was such a success that Pantene has kept going strong with their way of making a difference. Pantene’s goal is to raise one million inches of hair, and with your help, I know they can do it.

Love her or hate her, Tammy Faye Baker Messner was known for two things: crying almost every day as she sang a Christian hymn on the 700 Club and her extremely exaggerated make-up.

Tammy died on Friday of colon cancer that spread to her lungs (according to a spokesperson).

Tammy often spoke about her abundance of make-up (especially mascara) and said that she was forbidden to wear make-up growing up so she flaunted it as an adult (being able to decide for herself).

Tammy also made fun of herself. Asked how long it takes her to apply her trademark makeup, she once told a reporter, “Five minutes. It goes real fast when you use a paintbrush.”

Need a gift for a sophisticated baby? Try Noodle & Boo. The line is composed of a fairly extensive grouping of products within four categories: Hair Care, Skin Care, Bottom Care and SpecialGifts. The products all have a great milky, slightly sweet, clean-baby smell.

Even if you don’t have a baby to buy them for, try them yourself (especially if you have sensitive skin).

I love the French Milled Baby-Soaps and the Bouncing Baby Bubbles.

Here’s their story:

Having children born with extremely sensitive skin prone to severe eczema, I tried every line of personal care products, from those sold in health food stores to the most expensive department store brands. The only thing that would ease these flare-ups was steroid-based products prescribed by the pediatrician. While the medication would help each time there was an inflammation, I was advised to use it sparingly as steroid-based creams are known to thin the skin over time.

Believing there had to be a safe and gentle alternative, Noodle & Boo the company was born, beginning yet another new exciting chapter in our lives! Noodle & Boo’s complete care line is the remarkable effort of many fine professionals, chemists, a pediatrician and a dermatologist, plus feedback from hundreds of moms throughout the United States who participated in focus groups during the development process resulting in the world-class products you see today. Our holistic approach takes into account all of the personal care products that come in contact with baby’s skin and ensures that they work together resulting in healthy, well-nourished skin.

I, unlike some people believe that one can be too thin (rich is another matter). Hollywood and the fashion industry for years have set a standard for what people should look like that is truly unrealistic.

The average sized woman in the United States is a 10-12. This is not necessarily fat (depending on your height). Many women actually have breasts (imagine) that without them may fit into a 6.

I personally like to see a woman with a woman’s figure, not a 12 year old boy.

Within the same line of thought, I don’t like to see women that are overly muscular. There’s a difference between being fit and looking like an Olympian.

Most men like to hold onto someone who is soft and a little supple. Feeling bones is like being with a dead person and feeling muscle is like being with a man.

On the other side of the coin, muscle on men is perfectly acceptable.
