Redheads: The Colors You Should Be Wearing
By: Tasha, The Bay Area Style Guru
It has been scientifically proven that seeing the color red increases a viewers metabolism, heart rate and respiration. Wow, so being a redhead is a powerful thing indeed!
Having red hair is a bold statement, so whether you were born a “ginger” or chose it for yourself, you must embrace the fact that you stand out in any crowd. Less than 2% of the population are natural redheads and of the women who color their hair, only 30% choose a crimson shade; this rarity is what makes us so exotic and intriguing.
So I say, not only should you be proud to be a redhead, but play it up all you can. One great way is to wear ”redhead friendly” colors that compliment your scarlet tresses. Here are the best colors for your daily wardrobe:
1. GREEN: Green hues look amazing on all redheads; from emerald to teal, these shades are stunning when paired with red hair.
2. PURPLE: Remember art class? Purple compliments red, so be sure to wear this royal shade!
3. BLUE: Cobalt, navy and light blue are all must-have’s!
4. RED: There is an old adage that redheads should never actually wear red. I couldn’t disagree more. The key is to find a red tone that works with your skin tone and shade of hair. Both Amy Adams and Nicole Kidman have favored red gowns for high profile events and have received the highest compliments from fashion experts. Tip:
-Fair-skinned like Amy and Nicole? You will look amazing in a bright, true red.
-Brown-Eyed like Susan Sarandon? You will look best in darker toned reds like, burnt red or burgundy.
5. WHITE: A redhead in pure white can be breath taking. For spring, a white jean jacket is a great choice to match with your dresses and summer outfits. Tip: Because this color is known to “wash” redheads out, make sure to “up” your makeup to give your face more color. Choose a deep colored eyeliner or a pretty pink pout.
But no matter what colors you love to wear, having red hair is all about attitude and confidence. Toss those ginger tresses, walk with your head held high and love being a redhead.
Rock it, ladies!
Fresh Redhead Skin: What Your Acne Is Telling You

Why do you break out in some areas and not others?
Each area reflects a different part of your internal health, so what exactly do pimples on certain areas mean? With this “map” as your guide, you can address the underlying causes of blemishes and correctly determine how to prevent them from recurring.
Area 1 & 3: Bladder & Digestive System — Breaking out on your forehead may be a direct reflection of what’s going on in your small intestine. High amounts of fat within your diet can lead you to breakout across your forehead. Cleanse your diet with antioxidant-rich green tea and up your water intake to clear this area.
Area 2: Liver — If you break out near/the middle of your eyebrows, it is because you’re stressing your liver. The liver breaks down fats, so you may be in-taking the wrong food. Alcohol and dairy are said to be the main causes for acea in this area. This is also an area that indicates food allergies– consult your doctor for more information.
Area 4, 6, 8 & 10: Kidneys — Spots close to your ear and even dark circles around the eyes can be caused by dehydration. Make sure you keep well hydrated throughout the day by drinking, at least, eight glasses of water. Also, avoid salt and coffee.
Area 5 & 9: Respiratory system — Those who smoke or have allergies tend to have acne here. But, if you are breaking out a quarter-inch from the sides of your nose, this may reflect what’s going on in your stomach. If you’re constantly eating the wrong foods, not chewing thoroughly eating too quickly, or eating late at night, you’re skin may be breaking out as if to say, “Stop feeding my stomach this way!”
Area 7: Heart — Check your blood pressure and make sure you’re not using makeup that irritates your sensitive redhead skin.
Area 12: Stomach — Consider a detox or adding more fiber to your diet to help with digestion.
Area 11 & 13: Hormones — Stress and hormonal changes can sometimes be alleviated with more water and a few extra servings of dark, leafy greens. Additionally, breakouts in this area also indicate when you are ovulating.
Use these tips and easily change the way your body reacts to certain circumstances!
Spring 2013 Fashion: How To Work the Tuxedo Trend
We redheads have always been a pretty confident bunch (we have the prettiest hair, cutest freckles… the list goes on) and it takes a confident gal to wear one of the hottest trends for the spring season: the tuxedo trend.
We love dresses, but there’s something so elegant and sensual about a woman in men’s evening wear. With jackets ranging from cropped to hourglass to sleeveless; and pants that are available in wide leg or straight leg, there’s a tuxedo-inspired style that will fit anyone’s style.
Here are a few pieces to help you achieve this classic look:
1. Oversized boxy blazer: This is a very masculine cut blazer, but should be fitted in the arm area to give the body some shape. Pair the jacket with a super sexy dress. Tip: Like Julianne Moore, do match you look with a great pair of slacks and hot black shoes.
2. Tuxedo pants: The pants should be a slender fitted pant if you have an oversized jacket. But, experiment with wide legged pants, if you have a fitted jacket. Tip: Wear these pants with a dressy blouse tucked in and it’ll really set your look apart from the rest.
3. Tuxedo shirt: You can find tuxedo tops that are casual button-ups, ruffled tops and even some with intense decoration. This is your opportunity to embrace your style and find the top that expresses your personality.
Remember, wearing each piece separately with a girly feminine touch is a great way to be on trend without investing a lot. Don’t forget to accessorize either; wear bangles and bracelets with your oversized blazer and roll up the sleeves.
Rock it, ladies!

6. Silk is one of the most desirable fabrics when it comes to summer dresses and while you might have to go a bit over your budget for a silk summer dress, the feel and comfort (not to mention the look) is something your friends will be fawning over all season.
