San Francisco does not have your stereotypical California summers. We often have nicer winters and falls than we do summers, as Mark Twain famously pointed out, it can get down right cold and foggy here in the summer. But you never really know. Starting in about April, it could be 75 degrees one day and 55 the next.  It sounds frustrating, but it is also exciting in some ways. I am always on my toes…and always wearing layers.

Being a self-professed product whore, there are a few items I reach towards and keep on hand as the weather heats up and then randomly cools back down, in this fair city of mine.

1. ME! Bath Shower Sherbet Exfoliating Sugar Scrub:
This body scrub is perfect for sloughing off my dead skin cells that winter left behind to reveal a smoother, sweeter me. I love the scent Summer Rain, it is very fresh and clean.  It is hard to describe really, a bit citrusy I guess. It is one of those sugar body scrubs that leaves a bit of oil behind on the skin, which I love. It leaves my skin feeling super soft and subtle. Plus, it comes in an adorable little sherbet pint container and looks good enough to eat… but I recommend sticking to eating ice cream flavors at Bi-Rite.

So you made the cut..and now you're miserable.  We've all been there.  Don’t worry; hair grow back! Perhaps slower than we would like, but at least a bad cut can't last forever (unless you're Joe Dirt).  A bad chop can be traumatic, but you don't have to resort to wearing hats for the next six months.  Just take this quick tip from Richard and you'll be back to gorgeous in no time!

As founder and editor of All Things Chic, I have a lot of beauty products arriving on my doorstep. I've tested it all. Sometimes its great - sometimes I discover what not to use. So I was totally game to try out the Remington Women's S™ Razor and Shaving Gels.

They looked great - the Shaving Gels smelled fabulous and the "S" Razor had a cool ergonomic shaping. But as soon as I opened the package, I knew this was something new and different.  The "S" Razor handle brew me away. The soft-flex hinge and soft-grip handle was like nothing I've seen. I gave it a try and instantly loved it. This is my new razor - I threw out my old razor that very day and you will find the Remington "S" Razor in my shower from now on!!

We all know that bangs are still going strong and in the spirit of DIY Richard Marin gives us the tips and techniques we can use to create fabulous fringe at home!

I'm sure you've heard of the Remington i-LIGHT Pro by now, but just in case I'll give you a quick overview. The Remington i-LIGHT Pro is a great little Intense Pulsed Light device that gives you long term hair removal for up to  6 months#!  

Unlike most at-home hair removal meth­ods, IPL doesn't cut, burn or pull out hair, but instead works below the skin's surface to disable active hairs and prevent new ones from growing.  That means you get professional-quality results in the privacy and comfort of your own home for a fraction of the cost of getting in-office laser hair removal.  Pretty cool!

We had our friend and self-proclaimed laser hair removal "Queen", Vera Sweeney of Ladyandtheblog.com, try it out and see how it compares to her in office treatments.  Here's what she had to say:

Video Correction - The Remington i-LIGHT Pro is FDA *Cleared*

#Individual results will vary. In clinical testing, on average, participants had 47.8% fewer hairs six months after just three treatments, similar to results observed from professional hair removal systems.
