From one extreme to another ....

I know I take you guys all over the place on my blog .... everywhere from my insomnia to my childhood stories to my VENTING and my hopelessly unrealistic desire for Viggo Mortensen. But I read something today that was soooooo beautiful that I wanted to share it with all of you. I'm an avid reader and a lot of that reading has to do with spirituality. However, sometimes I have to take a break from

Cosabella for SATC Cutie/Bootie Thong Set

Livespeakr Compact Sound System at Urban Outfitters

We always travel with our portable speakers; because they sound better than most clock radio versions you find in hotel rooms. Plus, we love to have them in the bathroom when we're getting ready for a big night out. This pocket sized set of speakers for the iPhone, iPod, Google Nexus, and Palm Pre, were built for full sized sound. They were designed by a couple of young Urban Outfitters customers, so where else but the UO with its electric mix of goods would be better to find them ? For more information go to http://www.digitalgroupaudio.com/ and http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/.

Bobbi Brown Brightening Skincare

Bobbi Brown's new line of brightening skincare includes a hydrating lotion, intensive serum, moisture cream, SPF 50 face base, and a spot treatment corrector with SPF 25. Though we're daunted by a five step regimen, we're suckers for a great serum, so that and the SPF 50 base would be the first two products we'd love to try. Here's what Bobbi had to say about the new line:

“I believe beauty starts with healthy, glowing skin. Traveling through Asia, I’ve discovered that many brightening skincare lines do not address women’s immediate need to cover dark spots. I used my makeup artist’s perspective to create this simple 5-step regimen: It includes skincare to give you brighter, smoother and clearer skin over time—and treatment makeup to give you a beautiful, even complexion instantly.”

Hairstyles for Ladies Summer 2010

Hairstyles for Ladies Summer 2010

Ladies have a wide variety of hairstyles to choose from for summer 2010. More and more hairstylist are developing styles that fit in with the busy lifestyle that most modern women live. These styles allow women to have long hair that is easy to style, short hair they can just wash and finger dry, or medium styles that are the best of both worlds.

Long, sleek hair is an excellent style for summer 2010. Whether layered or all one length, long hair looks excellent when it's healthy and sleek. Use a flat iron and smoothing serum to get the look, which won't take you very long at all to do. There is nothing wrong with long hair during the summer, so if it's what you want, try the sleek look for a sexy new hairstyle.
Summer Hair for Ladies in 2010

For those who love short hair, pixies are as popular as ever. Extremely short, or the newer layered pixie that is just a little bit longer, either one is great for most women. If your face shape normally prohibits you from enjoying a pixie cut, then you might want to consider one of the layered pixies. These styles are a bit longer while still retaining the look and shape of the traditional pixie, and are great ways to use bangs to make the look work for you.
Medium hair lovers will adore the shag style this summer. This layered cut is great because it is extremely easy to style. In fact, many people use their fingers and nothing else! Light-weight thanks to the layers, it is very attractive with its razor textures at the ends. Shags can be longer or shorter depending on personal preference, but they always look great and are excellent for anyone, no matter what shape their face is.

Salon AKS Brushes

I discovered these great brushes when I had my Brazilian Blowout. They're manufactured in France exclusively for Salon AKS, made of silk and designed for smooth and shiny blowouts.

I tested the large and small round brushes at home. The bristles really grab your hair, so much so that you need to use some extra pull to get them through. The results are worth the effort, though, they left my hair much sleaker than my old, synthetic standby. The brushes are available in the NYC salon and on line.
This review was based on a sample.

When do you wear sequins?

We laughed at this recent marketing email from Tory Burch, "When do you wear sequins?"

Well, naturally as often as we possible can! Not only do we like to push what you wear at night; why not have fun and push wearing sequins any time of day. It's easy, especially if you find yourself in Vegas.

We love this party dress from the spring collection.

Eat, Pray, Love preview

We'll admit, when we first heard Julia Roberts was set to play Elizabeth Gilbert in the movie version of Eat, Pray, Love, we were pretty skeptical; but the preview--including Julia--looks pretty damn fantastic. It opens August 13.

A RE- RUN ... Random thoughts on Dr. Laura

I originally ran this post about a year ago and since that time I have stopped listening to Dr. Laura and you know what I discovered? I FEEL MUCH, MUCH HAPPIER. I used to listen to her just to get myself all worked up ... what a useless waste of energy. ENJOY!Since I've been unemployed, I do laundry almost every day. I don't know why this is because I only do laundry for two people. When I

Easy and Inexpensive Tips for a Whiter Smile

Dentist to celebrities, Dr. Laura Torrado, shared with us these tips to getting a brighter smile (and keeping it that way) without the big price tag associated with laser teeth whitening. We'd add our favorite OTC product, Go Smile, to her list.

Here's what Dr. Torrado recommends:

1. Over the counter whitening strips are an inexpensive alternative to professional bleaching kits or office bleaching

2. Daily brushing and flossing after every meal is the most inexpensive and easy way to maintain a healthy, beautiful looking smile

3. Baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, table salt and a dab of toothpaste are the perfect ingredients to a home whitening concoction

4. Do not use teeth whitening recipes that involve lemon or orange peels- they decalcify and de-mineralize your enamel making it more prone to decay
