Did you know that Avon is celebrating its 120th anniversary on Friday? Yes, that is one HUNDRED and twenty. Wow. That is a mighty long time in the business, there can’t be too many more companies out there that can compete on that level.
That all makes me glad that one of my dearest friends has become an Avon salesperson. Along with my variety of Instant Manicure colors I purchased from her, I also tried this peel, the Anew Clinical Retexturizing Peel. I have only been using it for about a week, but I do like …read more

Giving back to your community is one of the most beautiful things you can do, but I am sure you know that. As we gear up towards Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October), there is so much information out there about the philanthropical things that people have done for their communities. This is a nice one from one of my favorite (ok, my favorite) beauty companies, Paul Mitchell, and the money they have raised for many charities, giving you one more reason (besides their exceptional product quality) to buy and use Paul Mitchell:

Joannie Rossiter started her day …read more

The Brains showed us this (not-so) lovely jewelry (?) item available at Black Chandelier this morning. What is it, you might ask? Why, it is a hissing Madagascar cockroach, encrusted with Swarovski crystals, and attached to a little chain that you can pin on your outfit, of course! Nice! For 80 bucks you too can have one of these gems – they eat bananas, and if you feed them and give them water and shelter, you might get lucky and have your jewel for a year.
Now, I am a science girl and I love a …read more

I go back and forth between appreciating Gwyneth Paltrow’s beauty and thinking she looks emaciated and unhealthy. She tells her secrets, and makes me understand – I think she looks much better (read: healthier) when she is pregnant:

Drink tons of water and wear sunscreen. And I really do think if you eat fresh, organic, good food, you look like it”, said Paltrow.
“It’s vitamins. Take New Chapter Organics’ Perfect Prenatal. It doesn’t matter if you are pregnant, I swear to God. I have double-processed blond hair, and it’s so long and not damaged. Those vitamins, they are the trick!”, added …read more

 
My friend Carla over at Product-Girl found the greatest site that I thought you all might enjoy as much as I have. The site is Trix of the Trade, and it is from makeup artist Tricia Sawyer. Carla raved about the false eyelash videos, and she is right, they are extremely good. As much research as I have done (and practice!) on applying false eyelashes, I learned several new tricks in these videos. The photograph above is from the Smokey Eyes tutorial – go and check out all of the videos – Tricia is a doll …read more

While I was browing one of the forums that I watch for Brad Pitt news, I ran across a thread about everyones favorite stars from old Hollywood days. In it, I saw this picture of Jean Harlow and it reminded me of a client I used to have:

This clients name was Rita, and she was probably somewhere around 75 years old, and she always wanted me to file her nails into points. It would take me forever to get her nails filed, because I wanted to round them gracefully, but she always insisted on the POINT. I …read more

Am I insane for going to my 20th high school reunion? Maybe. Why do we put ourselves through the stress?
I am sitting here watching my very favorite movie, The Full Monty – and if you have never seen it before, it is the story of 5 “regular” men who are down on their luck and decide to do a Chippendale’s type show to make some money. And it is oh-so hilarious – rent it if you have never seen it before, you will have to watch it a few times to get all of the …read more
