Jennifer Lopez is a busy woman these days, trying to make movies, raise her cute twins, and keep her J.Lo empire growing.

And now Jennifer hopes to shine again with the debut of her newest perfume addition, My Glow, to her popular Glow collection. The fragrance comes out in October.And the talented songstress hopes to hit all the right notes with My Glow:

We love the design of the My Glow bottle. Jennifer Lopez wanted an angel at the top of the fragrance bottle, and we think it looks quite attractive.

Some critics are saying that Jennifer Lopez has 'borrowed' the L'Air du Temps bottle design. We say, not really.

Other J.Lo Glow fragrances include:

Glow

Miami Glow
Love at First Glow

Glow After Dark
Sunkissed Glow,

and soon-to-be: My Glow

That's a lot of 'glow-ing going on.'

Clear Up Skin Quickly With Once Daily Zinc Supplement

Want clear, smooth skin?

Frustrated because you've tried the prescription acne drugs, the many over-the-counter zit zappers, and you're still bothered by break-outs and pimples?

Don't despair. We have a simple, inexpensive way to clear up your skin quickly with one, small daily zinc supplement .

You have nothing to lose, but about $6.99 for a bottle of supplements.

For those of us who have been there, pimples can seem like the end of the world. Acne has ruined many a date, instantly lowered self-esteem, and for some, lingered on for a number of years, even into adulthood.

So, what's so magical about zinc?

Let us explain. First of all, we know how important Vitamin A is to healthy skin. But so is zinc, because it is required to mobilize Vitamin A from the liver to the skin.

Several decades ago, a Swedish physician treating a patient for another ailment in the Uppsala University Hospital, noticed that the patient's acne improved after treatment with zinc supplements.

A Swedish study was later conducted on patients with pimples in a clinical trial. And after 4 weeks of taking zinc supplements, there were major improvements. After 12 weeks, the patients taking the zinc, showed an 87% improvement in their skin.

Zinc is present in a lot of delicious foods we enjoy, like pumpkin seeds, seafood, nuts, dairy products like yogurt and eggs, wholegrain breads, chickpeas, and so on.

From the research we found, most experts recommend one 15mg. to 25 mg. supplement pill of zinc daily. We don't want to scare you, but zinc can be toxic at high amounts. Trust us, a little goes a long way.

Take the zinc supplement with a meal. On an empty stomach, zinc can make you nauseous.

You can find zinc supplements at your local drugstore and in the grocery aisle.

That's it: 1 zinc supplement daily, with a meal.

Give it about a month, and you should see results. We can honestly say, this worked for us back in our college days. Within a month or so, our skin, and our girlfriend's skin improved greatly. And we were only taking a 15 mg. zinc supplement.

After our skin cleared completely, we later stopped taking zinc, and we never had a major case of acne again.

Just a reminder: If you are on prescription acne drugs or any kind of oral antibiotic therapy, do not take zinc supplements. Zinc could interfere with the absorption of these meds. Best to check with your dermatologist about the zinc method to clear up skin.

Ouidad Brings Out Big Double Detangler To Comb Through Curls

Ouidad is a beauty company that knows all about curly hair. In fact, that is all they sell---- products for curly locks.

And we have to say, we were quite intrigued by one of their newest beauty tools, the Ouidad Double Detangler Comb ($24).

This double-sided comb has been designed to glide through your curls quickly and safely. In other words, no tugging or breakage.

According to their website, the Double Detangler Comb works because of these clever aspects:

Double Rows of teeth eliminate difficult knots and prevent curls from springing back and re-tangling
Longer Teeth reach through the most dense curly hair
Fewer Combing Strokes help curls remain defined and frizz-free
Spaced teeth are just the right width for detangling knots
Rounded Tips on teeth are soft on the scalp

There's just one little problem we see with this big, double comb. And that is its size. It's huge!! We're not kidding. Here are the dimensions:

The comb measures approx. 9-1/2"L x 1"W x 2-1/2"H and is made of sturdy plastic.

The reviews we read at a few online shopping sites that sell the Ouidad Double Detangler Comb, were favorable, but several complained about the big size of the comb and its heavy weight. However, those loving the Detangler, also spoke about its styling efficiency and how easily the comb can get through wild, thick, wet curls.

Best Boxes Of At Home Hair Color That Fade Less And Cover Gray

We have written several articles about hair color, salon pros, and at home color kits over the past year.

Coloring hair is a challenge at most levels, and yet, if you aren't attempting a 2-color process, strategically-placed highlights, or changing up your locks to a new, bold shade of red, then you can use at home hair color. And we have found you the brands that work the best.

Famous stylists like Frederic Fekkai, and many others, have recently introduced their signature at-home brands of hair color for women to try.

So, if you are just interested in covering grays and roots, or just enhancing your natural shade, you can stop off at your local drugstore and pick up a box of at home hair color.

And let's take a look at the Best At Home Hair Color Boxes. Thanks to the September issue of Good Housekeeping magazine, the folks there tested a bunch of leading at home hair color brands on swatches. And these are the boxes that faded less and covered gray perfectly:

Permanent Color:

Clairol Nice 'n Easy ($8) in Natural Dark Neutral Blonde tied with Revlon Colorsilk ($3.69) in Ultra Light Natural Blonde.

Both brands were so-so in covering gray. But both boxes were excellent at resisting fading and retaining shine.

Revlon Colorsilk ($3.69) in auburn shade Burgundy, scored high for its gray coverage and shine retention. Fading is common with red dye, and this brand did well after 4 weeks of washing, drying, and sun exposure.

Clairol Nice 'n Easy Perfect 10 ($14) in Light Auburn, was the runner-up. Covered grays perfectly, but shine and color fading were fair.

Semi-Permanent Color

Clairol Natural Instincts ($9) in both Cinnaberry and Brown colors did very well. Great coverage, shine, and fade resistance. The blond shades did not cover grays as well.

Runner-up L'Oreal ColorSpa Moisture Actif ($6.49) in Chestnut Reddish Brown had very nice gray coverage and shine, The blonde and brown hues gave lots of shine, but didn't hide grays as well as the others.

Revlon Colorsilk ($3.69) in Dark brown scored excellently. Super shine, covered grays perfectly, and resisted fading.

Runner-up L'Oreal Excellence creme ($9) in Medium Brown performed almost perfectly with just slight fading after a month of washing, drying, and sun exposure.

Dara Torres' Butt Exercise And Fitness Tips That Work

About a year ago, Beauty Tip Today wrote an article about Olympian swimming champion Dara Torres.

We talked about Dara's rock-solid abs and body at age 42. And one year later, she still maintains that enviable physique by constantly 'moving.'

Here's what we learned in a recent interview with the multiple Olympian medal winner from

That's Fit

"It doesn't have to be a purposeful workout, you just need to get out there and move, even if it's just a brisk daily walk. Exercise not only makes you feel younger, it relieves stress, and you automatically look better. It's a win-win." Dara Torres explains.

And we love that Dara is sharing a super butt exercise with us. We all love a high, round, firm butt. And we all know how hard that is to sculpt after 35. But Dara claims this one will deliver:

"My behind needs a little extra attention, and I swear by this move: Prop a small stability ball up against a wall. Lie on your back facing the ball with your butt against it, arms at sides, feet on ball, knees apart. Lift your butt, hold for a beat as your bring knees together and then lower to start. Do three sets of 15 reps."

We are also including diet tips from Dara Torres from our article last August.

Her favorite meal:

"A mixed green salad, turkey-spinach lasagna, garlic bread and green beans. My favorite cookbook is one I got in college—Where’s Mom Now That I Need Her?"

And yeah, you can cheat, Dara says:

"It’s OK to have bites of food that probably aren’t the best for you because that way you won’t deprive yourself and then want more of that food. I eat what I want, when I want, but I exercise so I can do that."
