My apartment is as cold as death. I have heat, but it’s not very well insulated, and I spend many days typing away on my computer while my fingers freeze to the bone.
My one refuge? The bathroom, where I can take super hot showers and for a few brief moments, feel the circulation return to my limbs. And thus, for Valentine’s Day, I have found what I really, truly want: an opportunity to up my salvage of a bathroom into an at-home spa to providing relief during tough times and cold weather.
Please, someone, get me Mr.Steam’s towel warmers…please? Imagine coming …read more

I am super-excited: I was invited to attend this year’s Heart Truth celebrity fashion show, which is part of the Heart Truth/Red Dress Collection campaign. It is this Friday at Bryant Park’s fashion week tents, and I will be likely plotting my outfit all week.
For the fourth year in a row, Bobbi Brown is one of the sponsors of this show, which brings some of Hollywood’s leading ladies together on one runway.
This year Bobbi created an exclusive, limited-edition Lip Gloss Trio in partnership with the Heart Truth campaign and its annual Red Dress Collection Fashion Show to raise awareness that …read more

So yesterday I mentioned my latest foray into sexy new frames.
Now, here’s the story: I am lucky enough to have incredibly sexy Prada frames that I received as a gift from LensCrafters last year – I love them and wear them to death. However, I live in perpetual fear of losing/breaking the, and realized that it was time to get a back-up just in case I have a klutz attack.
EyeBuyDirect is perfect both for a secondary pair, a fashion-frenzy pair, or even as your one-and-only: And no matter what pair you choose, you are pretty much guaranteed to be …read more

Recently, I attended an EyeBuyDirect event, and over pastries and coffee, learned about this huge step forward in affordable (but sexy!) eyewear.
I will be posting tomorrow about the event – and have a special surprise for all of you – but I just wanted to share a pic of my sexy new frames!

A few weeks ago, TJX (the awesome people behind TJ Maxx and Marshalls), invited a handful of their favorite style editors out on a 24-hour trip to their Boston-area headquarters. On the agenda: Shopping, learning about shopping, discussing shopping, lunch, and then more shopping.
I had a blast (and came home with so many goodies I almost had a problem getting through airline security), but somehow never wrote about it! It wasn’t until last night, when watching TV and seeing the brilliant new Marshalls commercial pass across my screen that I giant “duh” found itself on my own forehead.
In case anyone …read more

A very happy turkey day to all my friends and readers! I hope all of you are stuffing your faces right now with all kinds of deliciousness!

Hi friends!
I have created a Facebook group, so that all my netizen friends can join and stay updated on upcoming events, contests, promotions, features – here and elsewhere in the land of me.
If you are on Facebook too, please join my group (and friend me while you are there!)
Also, I am currently working on an eBeautyDaily holiday gift guide – please tell me if there’s certain types of products you wish to have included and I’ll make sure to be on the lookout for them!

Friends, readers: I must confess this post has nothing to do with eBeauty…except…myself becoming the most popular eBeauty out there!
I have entered to be “hottest girl of the week” in a VH1-related contest.  The male and female with the most “pickups” when the timer runs out will get featured on VH1 during airings of The Pick Up Artist… which I’ve honestly never watched, and I’m sure is very silly, but I want to win anyway!

Yes, I know…totally not blogarrific.
But winning will put me in great spirits…which may lead to even more fun contests…

Hi!
As I pen this introduction, I am readying myself to hit the skies…not for vacation (alas) but to explore the spa and beauty regimes at a hotel and spa in Los Angeles.
Most certainly indulgent, and not entirely sane (there are probably more responsible ways to spend the final days before an election when the nation’s economy is in shambles…), it is actually pretty reflective of my very existence.
I’m not shallow, I am just goal-oriented…and said goal is to make everyone around me as pretty and well informed as can be!
My name is Aly Walansky, and I am an avowed beauty …read more
