Beauty for less

I came across a site yesterday with all these beauty deals for Toronto residence, but some can be applied to different Canadian cities as well as American.
For example, if you want your teeth bleached professionally, the dentist will charge you $350 for the tray and the bleach. You can get it for about $250 for both trays (lower and upper) if you go to a local college and get the dental assistants and dentists in training to make it for you. Same goes with getting your hair cut and colored. If you go to the local college, they do it for really cheap because they need experience and they try to get future clients.
Here are some of the locations in Toronto that have great deals for hair, nails and others.

Aveda Academy Salon

Students here are taught a three-point system, which marries haircutting and hair colouring with makeup application, as well as how to adapt their skills to meet clients' specific needs. Best of all, they use only Aveda products and charge a fraction of what you'd pay at a regular salon: $25 for a wash and blowout, $40 for the damage-remedy treatment and $45 and up for highlights. The only small setback is that the salon doesn't have regular business hours, so call to see when its staff can spend some time on your strands.

125 King St. East • 416-921-2961 • www.aveda-academysalon.ca

Prices: $25-$45+

Beauty Exchange

Six years ago Beauty Exchange owner and founder Dina Fodero envisioned opening a high-calibre aesthetics school and professional-grade spa committed to women's well-being. Today, just as Dina dreamed, students at BE are serious about the health and beautification of their clients. Pop in for a $10 mani, a $36 chocolate body scrub or a$44 mud wrap. Be pampered with brand-name products like Sothys and Allpresan or with the spa's very own Be Exfoliated line. You'll feel uplifted without having to empty your wallet. Students are available from Monday to Friday, but on Saturday the instructors take over and the spa services are regularly priced.

3281 Yonge St. • 416-932-2445 • www.beauty-exchange.com

Prices: $6-$65

Canadian Business College Faculty of Dental Hygiene

So you want a gleaming smile but aren't willing to swallow the $500 price tag for professionally whitened teeth? At the Canadian Business College's Faculty of Dental Hygiene, located in the Cumberland Terrace, a set of customized moulds and a bleaching kit will set you back only $100. If it's a standard checkup you're after, $20 will get you a dental exam, complete with cleaning and polishing, performed by third- and fourth-semester students. Rest easy as a certified dentist and hygienist supervise the procedure and perform a post-cleaning exam for no extra charge. Services are available Monday through Friday by appointment.

Victoria's secret lawsuit

I guess their bra's aren't so great. Personally, I never had a problem but there's been people who have been getting rashes, and itchy hives around the breast area.
According to the video there was Formaldehyde found in the bras that would trigger this. This definatelly sucks for both those people and victoria's secret. I'd suggest even if you do wanna buy these bra's, wash them just in case, same goes with any new clothes you buy.

tips on how to look casual chic everday

Mix and match
For a cohesive causal chic look avoid any wearing any one style head-to-toe. An outfit with contrasting pieces keeps you from looking like you bought your outfit right off a mannequin. The key is to mix and match different fabrics and styles. Throw on a tailored jacket with a pair of jeans and heels. Or wear a ruffled blouse with your favorite khakis and flats.

Splurge on the classics
Every wardrobe should include some basic pieces including jeans, a little black dress, tailored jacket, etc. Make sure you don’t skimp on getting quality pieces with these items as they are the building blocks of your wardrobe. Do you cringe when you see the price tag of designer jeans and wonder how many knockoffs you can buy for the same price? Try them on and if they fit perfectly, think about how many times you'll wear them. If you’ll wear them all the time, then they’ll be a better deal than four not-so-perfect jeans that’ll stay in the back of your closet all year. Trendy items can be purchased for less than your wardrobe staples – you know you’ll be tossing them once they’ve hit the 'so last season list.' But great fitting jeans will never go out of style and will just improve with age as you break them in.

Don’t forget about comfort
Casual chic isn’t just a fashion style, it’s a lifestyle. The point behind this style is to be comfortable, to show you don’t have be 'done up' and 'designered-out' to look stylish. So make sure that in the effort to look effortless you don’t forget to be comfortable. Flats can be your best friend after a day at the office turned night out on the town. A fuller skirt will be easier to hurry to an errand in then a pencil skirt.

Show off a little personality
Every season has its fashion 'it list' – whether it’s skinny jeans, menswear or animal prints. Make sure you don’t neglect your personal style in trying to follow the latest trends. Every celebrity voted well-dressed most likely won that honor by making a statement with his or her clothing. Find what looks great on you and wear it regardless if it’s out or in.

Accessorize simply
The key to look like you didn’t try to hard is to not try too hard. Coco Chanel, arguably the fashion icon who gave birth to causal chic, once said to remove one piece of jewelry right before you leave the house. So stick to a statement necklace, dangling earrings or a cocktail ring – just don’t walk out the house wearing your whole jewelry collection. Or perhaps go with the smartest accessory of all time – sunglasses
