From dark, brooding brown to cheery cherry, Khloe Kardashian's new red hair color looks awesome -- if you ask me (see how to copy her hairstyle here). Not a Kardashian fan? Check out other celebs with great hair color here.

Hey you.

Yeah you, the girl going nuts on her nose in front of the magnifying mirror. Relax. You're blackhead-popping bonanza isn't doing any long-term good. (If you can't keep your hands from picking, at least learn how to extract blackheads the right way.)

The new year is a therapeutic time. It's a time when we get to look back at the previous year's mistakes, learn from them, and go forth in order to make a (mostly half-hearted) attempt at improving ourselves for the year to come. (See the 10 health and beauty resolutions real women are making for 2011.)

To help you have a beautiful 2011, I have rounded up the most popular hairstyles, makeup looks and nail trends from the past year in order to help you navigate which to keep and which to ditch come January 1st. These are some of the best and worst beauty trends of 2010:

I don't know about you, but I feel vulnerable walking the aisles of CVS or perusing the beauty counters at Macy's. With over 10,000 skin care companies trying to convince me that I need a different cream for every body part and that if I have a wrinkle here, a stretch mark there then I am doomed to some sort of ugly-hell (friends stop calling, I get fired and my boyfriend cheats on me), so how can I know what I actually need and which skin care products are totally useless?

This is not supposed to happen, but it does. Celebrities, who are expected to be on top of the latest cutting-edge styles, get stuck in a beauty rut. So they are human after all.

My Holiday Party List:

Crikey! I've finally figured it out.

I just had a birthday last month, which officially marks the end of a decade. Upon looking in the mirror, I swear I have aged in the last year. I don't smoke and I wear sunscreen on my face every day, yet my smile lines and crow's feet seem more pronounced than I remember, so perhaps the culprit is stress and the good ol' passage of time.

Hey, let's play a game. On my count, start making a mental list of all the things you can accomplish in five minutes or less. Ready? Go!

Every week I embark on a dirty hair throwdown with myself where I try to go as long as I can without washing it. And for the most part, unless I have a super sweaty workout (which has not been happening lately) or an event to go to (ditto), I top out at about two times a week. And, while you might be thinking that I must be into that greasy, "grunge" look, I'd be willing to bet that if you saw me right now, you wouldn't be able to tell that I'm on day five without a proper shampoo. That's right. After nearly an entire week, my hair doesn't look one bit greasy and I owe it all to dry shampoo. Jealous? Check out this round up of the best and worst dry shampoos to find your hair's new best friend. Because, honestly, who wants to take the time to wash and dry their hair every day (especially when it's cold outside)?
