Smile, Sparkle, Shine: A Guide To Glitter Roots

Who doesn’t love a little extra sparkle and glimmer? Sequins and foil were flashed all over holiday party looks and New Year's Eve outfits. If sparkles aren’t exactly your thing but you still want that little extra flare, there’s a simple way to fix it.

Whether you’re looking to subtly stand out or your roots are in need for a touch up but you don't have time for an appointment, there’s nothing to fear. Glitter roots are here!

While you won’t see any fashionista strut into the workplace with some jazzed up roots on a Tuesday, it is quite possible this look could make an appearance at a concert, a club or anywhere a little shimmer may go a long way.


To begin, simply part your hair. If you can rock the middle part, I suggest this to assure the best look. Don’t get too crafty with your 2001 zigzag part. The glitter will draw enough attention. If your part is naturally on the side, begin with taking styling gel and combing it from your roots down an inch or two in order to press down the hair. Once the part is perfected, with glitter on hand, gel the same part of your part. Afterwards, quickly apply a generous amount of glitter to the desired areas of your part. Repeat as many times as you feel is necessary to get your dream glitter roots. No need for an elaborate dress because your roots will steal the show.

A few hair washes and several shakes of your pillow will be necessary to get rid of all the glitter post-occasion. Try it while it’s hot. C’mon, we all had colored streaks in our hair somewhere in between middle school and high school or dip dyed it for a hot second. Unless your competition dance team did not allow it (like mine).

Skip the salon and dig into your craft drawer for this look.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
