A Moment of Silence for Boston.

By Sswonk [CC0], via Wikimedia Commons

This is a sign I see often as I drive into Boston. Today, the city of Boston and the people of Boston are in my thoughts.

The Boston Marathon bombing tragedy struck very close to home for me. I live about an hour outside of Boston and knew too many people in Boston yesterday. Some friends ran the Boston Marathon, others were there cheering on the runners (a large group from my town runs the marathon), some were at the Red Sox game, and others were in Boston just sightseeing on a beautiful spring day during school vacation. It was hard getting in touch with family and friends, but those that I care about are safe. I pray for those that are not and their loved ones.

These days, we want the same beachy vibe but with a bit less bulk, which is exactly what the new Soludos for Madewell collaboration delivers. Streamlined silhouettes, cool patterns and a discreet layer of rubber at the sole — they’re espadrilles fine-tuned for the modern era.

Favorite Beauty Ingredient of the Moment: Salt!

Salt has some surprising uses, whether it's creating a hair mist that rivals salon products to detoxing with Epsom salt in the bath.

By Kate Winick - March 12, 2013

It might sometimes be blamed for bloating, but salt is a treasure of hidden beauty properties. From exfoliation to actually reducing puffiness in skin, try these uncommon — and incredibly effective — uses for the kitchen staple.

BEACH-WAVES SPRAY FOR HAIR: To create perfectly textured waves, dissolve a teaspoon of sea salt into an 8-oz. spray bottle of warm water. Add 1/2 teaspoon of liquid coconut oil and a dab of hair gel. Then just shake and mist.

BATH SOAK: Mix a cup of sea salt with a few drops of almond, coconut, or another essential oil and pour into running water. Adding salt to a bath permits less water to be absorbed by the body, reducing skin’s ‘pruning’ effect on fingers and toes.

DANDRUFF TREATMENT: Work crushed sea salt into the scalp before wetting hair to loosen flakes and better enable scalp treatments to penetrate.

FACIAL TONER: To reduce oiliness, fill a small spray bottle with tepid water, add 1 teaspoon salt, and mist on your face, making sure to avoid eyes. Blot dry.

SALT SCRUB: After you take a shower or bath, and while your skin is still wet, sprinkle salt onto your hands and rub it gently on arms and legs. A salt massage will exfoliate dead skin cells and improve circulation.

SKIN STEAMER: To open up pores before exfoliating skin, bring 1/3 cup sea salt to a boil in a small pan of water. Transfer to a bowl, take a seat, and hold your face over the steam for 10 minutes.

FACIAL EXFOLIATOR: Mix 1 teaspoon fine-grain salt and 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small bowl. Gently massage the mixture into your face and throat. Rinse off by washing skin as usual.

TOOTHPASTE: A classic natural beauty recipe, start by pulverizing sea salt using a mortar and pestle. Combine 1 part crushed salt and 2 parts baking soda. Dip a dampened toothbrush into the mixture and brush your teeth.

MOUTHWASH: Rinse with a solution of 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda mixed into a 4-ounce glass of water.

EYE DE-PUFFER: Mix one teaspoon of salt into a pint of hot water. Lie comfortably on your back and apply pads soaked in the solution.

FOOT SOAK: An Epsom- or sea-salt foot soak is just what the doctor ordered for overworked athletes — or even just a long night out in heels.
