A recent poll in CosmoGirl! asked readers to choose who their dream Valentine would be, which, of course, got me wondering who your dream Valentine would be.
Here were a couple of CG’s choices, but feel free to add your own (with links to pix, if you dig).

OC Cutie, Adam Brody

Mega-sexy LA Sportsperson of the Year, David Beckham

Uber-Charmer, Usher
Me? I know it’s an odd choice because he’s not a traditional heartthrob, but there is just something so innocently hot about Entourage’s Adrian Grenier. I swear I’d eat a entire can of lima beans for a date with that guy. Rowr!

In the next year (snxzzz! That’s tomorrow!) you can look forward to more news you can use, more of the goods on your favorite celebs, more contests, more fashion, more beauty, more fun! And I can’t wait.
Thanks for a great year. I truly hope it was one of your best!!

I’m baaaaaack!
Hey guys! Hope you all had a great Christmas or whatever holiday it is that you celebrate! Hope you had fun and that Santa brought you everything you were hoping for!
After days full of holiday gatherings and a good old fashioned case of the gastrointestinal yuks (aka “The Pukes”) I am back in working order and am ready to round out the year with some pretty cool stuff. Today I’ll be featuring some of the best After-Christmas Sales out there so you can scarf up anything that somehow didn’t make it under your tree (or maybe exchange …read more

Yesterday, Santa went shopping at Old Navy. And Santa scored!
Okay, okay. So Santa, in this case, is moi. And the receiver of Santa’s score? Also moi.
See, I decided to reward my fabulous self with a Christmas present to…myself this year. You don’t fault me, do you? Plus, I simply couldn’t help it. I’d have been foolish to pass this up. The deals in the stores right now are wicked-crazy good. This sweater, normally $34.50, was only $20! See, I practically had to buy it (I got it in a khaki color, though).
Of course, one can’t score a new …read more

Do you wear holiday tees? Some think they’re totally ridiculous, but I, for one, love them. Of course, I love anything that has to do with the holidays, so the instant the clock strikes midnight the day after Thanksgiving, out come the candy cane-striped undies, the reindeer socks, the snowflake earrings, and…the holiday tees.

This year, I scored this cutie from Target. I love that it is very fashionable and not as obnoxiously blatant as my blinking Christmas light necklace (which I rarely wear, thank you very much). This tee was only $7 and was part of a fairly decent collection …read more

I once heard that Courteney Cox uses disposable toilet liners from public restrooms to blot the oil from her face in a pinch. Clever? Totally. Disgusting? Uh…just a smidge.
Until recently, blotting that extra shine from my face was always done with powder. Usually, this occurred two or three times a day. But when you think about it, adding more gunk on top of gunk can’t be a good thing. So imagine my delight when I had the chance to try the Clean & Clear Morning Burst Oil Absorbing Sheets.
I had heard of such things before, these oil-absorbing doo-dads, but I …read more

Happy November, Everyone!
I love November. The fun, excitement, and anticipation of the holidays are within our grasp. There’s turkey, desserts, carols…and presents!
But with all this family togetherness looming ahead, the last thing we want is bumpy skin, right? So this is the perfect time to launch a contest with a killer prize – one that can help you look and feel your best in a very short time.
Here’s the fabulous schwag:

According to CleanandClear.com,

100% of users had clearer skin after ONE DAY, including improvements in size, redness, elevation, and number of pimples.

This week’s Cutie Outfit of the Week – On the Cheap! features a mucho fun tee from Forever 21. Love their stuff! To accent it, I found all that you need at the Almighty WalMart. A reformed WalMart hater, it became really hard to deny that they have some super cute stuff totally cheap, so now I love it. A lot. In fact, this entire ensemble cost less than $90! Woo!
Exactly as is, this outfit is perfect for any day. But switch up the tee for a sleek metallic cami and slip on a black skirt in place of the …read more
