A note to my smart, handsome, wonderful boyfriend:
Burn your running shoes and give this a whirl.

I moved into my first big-girl apartment last weekend. Between being a bit sore — there were lots of (shoe) boxes to haul — and having a shiny new tub, I’m planning to clock in some bath time this weekend. Magazines, a fluffy towel for a pillow, a glass of wine and […]

If you’ve ever spent waaaaay too much for a salon blow-out, then you’ll understand why wearing a goofy shower cap is a completely nautral move. At least with this fun and retro plastic number, you can keep your coif looking fabulous in style. (Remember, if you divide the cost of the blow-out by […]

The word around town is that huge, cocktail style rings are big for the fall. This one doesn’t actually feature a gem, but in some ways, it’s even better. (I’ll keep telling myself that.) But seriously, the mini pot of lip color hidden under a glossy black rose is such a […]

How many times has a perfectly pretty manicure gone to hell after you less-than-gracefully knock your hand against a door. And then it’s chipped and you look like Lohan or an Olsen twin with half-painted nails — which is to say nothing like the polished young lady you were before you got all clumsy. […]

I recently picked this up in “cake/corset” and I love. The cake shade is a super-light pink, which I used for the lid, and the corset is a granite-ish black, which I used as a liner (after dipping the brush in water.) Plus, I’m a sucker for sweet packaging. The floral motif […]

The company doesn’t test on animals, 100-hundred percent of the stuff that goes in is natural and the main ingredient in the bodacious balms is extra-virgin olive oil. With promises like those, you’ll never go back to […]

Shine on, sister (just not on your forehead)! Seriously, it’s almost impossible not to sweat in this heat, but give it a try with these super-absorbing blotting paper from Philosophy. They’ll fit in your purse or pocket and promise not to disrupt your make-up. And, at $10 a pop, it’s cheaper than buying that above-ground […]

This mini mani kit includes all the essentials to make your digits presentable. (hand lotion, scrub, buffer, nail brush, and Goldie polish) If you’re smart, you’ll stock up for gift-giving. You’ll come off as seriously on top of things when you “remember” the intern’s birthday. (She’s faxed seventeen thousand sheets of […]

I have pretty (ridiculously) pale skin, so a few years ago I bought a product to help look slightly less “walking dead.” I get complemented on the bronze-ish cheekbone highlights often, so I’m excited to try the Mark version (which happens to be 5 times less than the other stuff.) If it’s as […]
