+ And be prepared for any mishaps (second photo, two items on right). Planning on wearing high-heels or platforms to your holiday gathering?

Go retro with Collector’s Series bandages with vintage Mickey Mouse images ($3.99, Walgreens) or fashion-forward with designs from fashion trendsetter Cynthia Rowley ($5, Cynthia Rowley). Slap them on and feel better about your toes.

In middle school, Roxana Hadadi was a cosmetics-scorning tomboy; in high school, a glitter eye shadow- and black nail polish-loving trend kid; in college, obsessively committed to dying her hair unruly colors that upset her mom. Now a bit older and a bit more mature, she’s trying to figure out what hair, body and cosmetics products will work for her, you and your family in About Face, Chesapeake Family’s new beauty blog — and she’ll leave the sparkle makeup and neon highlights in the past. Roxana also writes movie reviews for Chesapeake Family’s Popcorn Parents blog.
