The perfect brow (part 2)
After trying many different places to shape my sometimes unruly brows, I think I just struck gold! Benefit Brow Bar is my new go to place to get my eyebrows waxed. I’ve tried both waxing and threading and I have to say I really prefer waxing. In NYC, the brow bar is set up within the makeup counters […]
How I got to take my vitamins (at over 40!!)
I never took to taking vitamins. I don’t know why. Maybe I’m a late bloomer? I just never saw myself taking a pill (or pills) religiously every day forever. But alas, that changed! Someone introduced me to vitamin gummies. Yes gummies. No they’re not shaped like bears, but usually shaped and taste like fruit and […]
Quick polish tip for girls on the go
Don’t have time to go to the nail salon? Then do it yourself and save time with quick dry top coat. But what happens if you don’t even have 5 minutes to spare? I often find I do my nails and then wait, wishing I could do my hair or makeup in the meantime, but don’t dare […]

We’ve been seeing neon clothes creeping back here and there and it’s made it’s way into nail polish colors. Bright yellow, greens and oranges, even blues. […]
Making your clothes (and shoes) look new again
As we rejoice in our summer wardrobes, we may find some of our favorite clothes are a little worse for the wear. Instead of throwing out that favorite top, why not spruce it up instead? Many of my tops and dresses develop pills on the sides from my shoulder bag rubbing while I walk to […]
Getting ready for summer…
Yeah!! Summer is just about here and I’m looking to get a head start. I’ve tried bronzers before but only the powder type, never the spray tanners. Afraid of looking like Snooki, I did my homework and found the perfect one. Sephora’s own Tinted Self-Tanning Body Mist. It’s the easiest, most natural looking color. One […]
