When it comes to hair color, Girlawhirl's touching-up at home. Her compromise? Frederic Fekkai's Salon Color which, once she mastered the application technique using the same kind of brush her stylist does, leaves her hair super soft and shiny.

Instead of her monthly by-appointment facial peel, Girlawhirl's found some at-home alternatives that produce the same amazingly smooth and glowing skin results.

Gentle enough to use before a night out, Nude Skincare's Miracle Mask is one that Girlawhirl uses again and again. The entire line's organic-whenever-possible and fair trade sensibility appeals to her green goodness, and Miracle Mask contains alpha hydroxyl acids that come from milk, which are less irritating, so she never worries about redness or flaking.

Formulated to use every morning, Girlawhirl gets glowing with MD Skin Care® Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel. One pad contains alpha and beta hydroxy acids and the second pad neutralizes, leaving Girlawhirl with a smile to start the day.

Perhaps the worst salon task that Girlawhirl's taken over at home is her monthly pedicure. It's not her favorite thing to do, but truth be told she's getting pretty good at it. The trick? The right tools, an assortment of formaldehyde, toluene and DBP free nail polishes and a clean-up stick.

The one beauty ritual she can't duplicate at home is a massage, but adding a yoga class after her usual spinning or other aerobics gives her that stretched-out-jelly-muscles feeling that she gets after a massage.
