I'm not a diamond girl, and though I'd like to say that my only reason why was something noble like outrage over the diamond mining situation, the truth is that I thought diamonds were (gasp) boring a long time before they were controversial.

Oh, the joys of summer: lemonade, tank tops, beach parties, and ... unruly tendrils?
All right, so nobody said summer was perfect. Luckily, we have two options for taming our summer-humidity, frizz-prone hair. We can either 1.) take the less popular route, reach for the nearest pair of scissors, and give ourselves a shorter mane, or 2.) grab the tangled mass and put those frizzy locks in a no-hassle ponytail.
Unfortunately, ponytails usually scream, "Look at me! My only other option is a hat!"
So, what is a girl to do?
The answer to the age-old ponytail dilemma is Cara Couture jeweled rubber-bands. The 2-inch round "jewel" gives an otherwise bland hairdo some zing. Choose from sapphire, diamond, amethyst, orange topaz, or the coveted J-Lo pink diamond.
