About a month ago, there was a lot of buzz in the fashion and beauty community over "The Girl on Page 194,"featured in the September issue of Glamour magazine. The photo was a nude (but tasteful) shot of 20-year-old model Lizzie Miller. Here she is: Women from all over the country were taken aback by the photo being featured in a prominent fashion ...

Fall Haul: Weekend Shopping Report
I've been under the weather this past week and just had to get out of the house today for a few hours so I decided to head to the mall and pick up the MAC "My Favorite Pink" Dazzleglass Cream I have been eying. I suppose this will be my first official "haul" post.First things first. Because I thought I wasn't leaving the house today at all, I ...
Mousse: If you’re not using it, you should be
If you haven't used mousse in your hair since 1995, it's time to reconsider. I too stopped using mousse for several years and then found myself wondering why. Mousse just might be the perfect hair styling product. It leaves no detectable residue, gives volume that lasts for days (if you do a good blowout, of course, nothing in life is free!) and ...
Olivia Palermo from “The City” Hair & Makeup Inspiration
I've admired Olivia Palermo since the first season of "The City" for her great sense of style, gorgeous hair and flawless makeup. Polished is the best word I can use to describe her. My jaw dropped at the gorgeousness of the outfit she wore when she first went to the Elle magazine offices on last night's season 2 premiere- stunning. Sporting ...
Self Tanners: My Favorites and Reviews
I used to work at a tanning salon...for more years than I'd like to admit. Now I know better, and am 100% against tanning beds and wear sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when I am out in the sun all day. Tanning beds not only ruin your skin, but increase your melanoma cancer risk by 75 percent, if you use tanning beds and sunlamps before 30 years of ...

Canadaland Shopping Spree
I am officially back from Canadaland (more specifically, Toronto). I am happy to report that immediately upon deplaning, I headed to Yorkdale mall and had a successful shopping trip (only I would get off of a plane and go straight to the mall when arriving in another country).Initially, I was a bit disappointed (by H&M for example, where the ...
Review: Anastasia of Beverly Hills Eye Brightening Pencil in “Sand”
Every December, I tune into the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for an hour of awe at the bouncy, shiny hair, crazy long legs and toned bodies that strut down the runway in gorgeous embellished lingerie and fluffy angel wings. What I always take away with me is how striking and pretty the makeup is from these shows. Particularly, I want to discuss ...
Beautiful Brunettes!
My hair (color, particularly) has been in a state of change since I was old enough to learn about the orange-hair-inducing "Sun-In" (note: I know better now).From brown with blonde highlights and red lowlights, to dark brown, to almost black to golden blonde to almost platinum, my hair has been through quite the "tress stress."I loved the ...
Best Blushes for “Glowing” Skin
Blush is my "can't leave the house without it" product. When I sweep some gorgeous pink blush on my cheeks, I immediately feel fresh, glowing and awake.As you can imagine from the title of my blog, I absolutely love and adore blush. But not all blushes are created equal- which is why I'd like to share some of my best blush finds. Not surprisingly, ...
