Do you remember when straight hair wasn't cool and perms were actually the "in" thing? (Gasp!) Sometimes it's hard to believe that women used to pay big bucks to have chemicals poured over those tight little rollers.
Times have definitely changed, and now super-straight hair is all the rage. When did it become totally lame to have any sort of volume going on hair-wise? Gah!
As the popularity of sleek styles has spiked, so has the market for products and treatments that make the process easier. C'mon -- admit it. You went out and bought a flat iron the minute they started selling them like the rest of us.
But flat ironing can be kind of a pain, especially when you're a mom who has very limited time in the bathroom. With pricier, more permanent straightening options like the Brazilian Blowout being deemed dangerous, not to mention expensive, here are a few effective do-it-yourself-at-home straightening treatments that won't break the bank.

I have big news, you guys. You know what I just found out? Kim Kardashian and Sofia Vergara are both really sexy. I know, it's crazy! The only reason I was made aware of this info is because the two celebs were recently photographed, respectively, wearing skin-tight -- like, painted-on tight -- outfits. Kim donned a light gray, metallic-y-looking mini-dress; and Sofia stepped out wearing

I crush hard on Rachel McAdams for a few reasons, not the least of which is her red carpet style (and her dimples, and her Canadianism). She's always trying new things and she never plays it safe. You have to admire her for that, and for the fact that she dated Ryan Gosling for a long time. The girl is clearly a winner at life. Anyway, Rachel went to the Journey 2 premiere last night and showed us once again just how awesome she is. In a sexy, transparent blue t-shirt and high-waisted floral skirt, her look was unexpected yet entirely perfect.

Over the last three months or so, I've completely fallen in love with Mad Men. I don't know where I was for the last four seasons, but I'm happy to report that I'm now completely caught up on all of the mint julep drinking, affair-having fun and highly anticipating the season 5 premiere on March 25. Banana Republic seems to be excited too, as the store just announced that they're working with Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant for a second Mad Men-inspired capsule collection, launching in stores on March 1.
When I saw the trailer for Reese Witherspoon's upcoming flick This Means War, I thought, "Sweet, they're still casting her as the gorgeous object of -- not just one, but TWO -- guys' affection!" As opposed to someone's ... grandmother. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but you know how in Hollywood, 35 is practically the new 75. And Reese turns 36 this March! Plus, she's a mom to kiddos Ava and Deacon, so all in all, I was impressed that she's still scoring sexy leading lady roles you'd think would be reserved for, oh, I don't know, Dakota Fanning or Miley Cyrus!

Is it just me, or are slits absolutely everywhere lately? I don't think I've EVER bought something with a slit myself, but suddenly slitted maxi skirts and long dresses are popping up in all of my favorite stores, and I'm diggin' it. It looks like I'm not alone, either. Celebs are loving them too. Check out Kim Kardashian (right) wearing a beautiful high-waisted blue slitted maxi skirt out in Miami yesterday. Man, what I'd do to be in the Florida sun right now!
Good grief. What in the world is Christie Brinkley drinking? There's seriously a good chance that she's consuming some sort of elixir sent down by the gods or has found the actual Fountain of Youth or something like that.
