The highly anticipated season finale of Lost is coming February 2nd! For all you Lost fans, I have put together a beauty survival kit for Kate Austen, our heroine who steals the heart of Jack, the handsome doctor, who loves her, and also wants to save everyone too. She also had something special with Sawyer, the island con-man and heartthrob with a heart of gold. Sawyer, who used to love her, probably still does, and he’s recently lost his Juliet, so he may need a shoulder to cry on soon. More »

The temperature has been steadily dropping here in New York City — we even had snow yesterday morning! As much as I love a pretty dusting of powder on the ground, I’d rather not be freezing while I’m walking around. I started daydreaming a little bit this morning about what I’d pack on a tropical vacation, if I were going on one that is. I’m starting to feel warmer already! More »

So it turns out that chocolate does the body good inside and out (did you read this piece in the New York Times yesterday about chocolate and yoga?)! Having a piece of chocolate usually makes my day a little brighter, but did you know that it also has anti-inflammatory properties? Neither did I! I first saw chocolate wax being offered at a salon a few years ago, and I assumed that it was just being offered as a novelty. Then I looked into it further and learned that it does serve a purpose!

It’s quite rare that I can walk into a Sephora store and not stop to smell the delicious Philosophy 3-in-1 shampoo, body wash and bubble bath. This line has been around for so long, and they have developed an amazing range of scents that are so spot-on to their food counterparts that I sometimes wish I could eat them (not a good idea with soap, btw). Today I was dreaming about creating my own cupcake-scented shower with Philosophy soaps! More »

About two years ago, my friend recommended a lip therapy treatment that seemed too good to be true. During the winter, the edges of my lips get pretty dry and nothing ever seemed to solve this problem. Even if I exfoliated my lips and applied chapstick, it still wasn’t soft and smooth…that is until I started using Murad’s Treat and Repair lip therapy. More »

I present to you my top three little beauty indulgences that you can try at home! More »

The Unii Palette is the answer to all my problems. It is a magnetic makeup palette, that will store all your favorite refillable’s and non-depotable beauty products. More »

One of my younger friends is so excited to go to her school’s sweetheart dance, and it kind of made me wish that I was back in high school again. Of course, that feeling passed quickly. Anyway, we were brainstorming different ways that she could do her makeup, and I thought I would share some of our ideas. More »
