Winter Blues Got You Down?
Filed Under Awareness, Bath & Body, Fitness, Home, Makeup, Seasonal, Skin Care | 3 Comments
Every year come December, January, and February we repeat a cycle. It starts with gaining a few pounds during the holidays, followed by making goals for the new year (possibly involving weight loss). These New Year’s Resolutions make us feel clean and fresh and give us hope that whatever was left undone last year will be fulfilled in the blank slate that lies ahead. We then forget about our list of ambitions as we bask in the river of chocolate at Valentine’s Day. Heart Day is then over and we find ourselves in a lull, it is cold and dreary and we are waiting for Spring to lift our spirits.
How about lifting those winter blues by putting a new charge into your intentions for this year? Recommit to your New Year’s Resolutions or make up different ones that inspire you. No matter what you want for this year the beauty world has a solution that is sure to put a smile on your face!
Have Beautiful Skin All Year Long: Save time and get gorgeous skin with PCA Skin’s Purifying Mask. Quickly becoming one of my all time favorites, this mask detoxifies and exfoliates in one step! Bits of micro pumice buff your skin to a healthy glow while algae from the Red Sea, French Red Clay and Red Wine draw out impurities. You will see your skin brighten the first time you use it. Best Benefit: This mask does incredible work at clearing up breakouts.
Go To The Spa More Often: Keep this resolution by bring the spa to you with Liz Earle’s Energizing Body Scrub. Made with ground olive stones, this scrub smells and feels fantastic. What else would you expect from the woman who brought you the cleanser British Vogue calls one of the, “top must-have products of the last Millennium?”
Lose Weight: If your need for sweets is constantly getting in the way of your desire to shed pounds, try steering your sweet tooth in a new direction with Jaqua’s treats for the body. Whatever your craving this fantastic company has something for you: Cocoa Buttercream Frosting, Pina Colada, Peach Parfait, or their original scrumptious Buttercream Frosting.
Go Green: You already recycle and are loving your hybrid car, but you’d like to take it a step further. Smashbox and Pangea Organics are here to transform you into a eco-contributing beauty goddess. With every purchase from the new Green Room collection from Smashbox a tree will be planted in a developing country. Not only that, but all the packaging is either biodegradable or recyclable and you will love the collection. Taking biodegradable to a new level, the boxes used to package Pangea Organics can be planted in the ground to spout in your garden! Soak the boxes for one minute and nestle in the soil for plants of sweet basil and flowering Amaranth. The best in these two collections include Smashbox Bamboo Shadow Quad and Pangea’s Egyptian Basil and Mint collection.
Get Organized: If you love makeup as much as I do then I’m betting you need a place to store all those eyeshadows. What could be better than a train case as beautiful and fun as your most colorful shadow quad? Fluff has just what you are looking for and tons of choices, I personally couldn’t resist the Chelsea Girls Train Case.
Finally Get The Guest Room in Order: Every guest loves to be pampered. Make them feel special with the new creamy Jaqua hand soaps in Pink Buttercream Frosting and Pink Champagne (they look especially pretty too). Surround your visitors with yummy scents, the candles from Beyond The Basket do just the trick, try the Apricot & Honey!
Use My Gym Membership: Make your workout twice as effective with FitFlops, the flip flop that builds muscle while you walk. These shoes are so comfortable and they work your muscles no matter where you go.

For a limited time, Amazon’s new website for shoes and handbags, endless.com, will pay you $5 to ship you items. Yes you read that right, it’s not $5 shipping, its negative $5 shipping!
On top of that, they have a return policy that I’m willing to bet will beat most stores you shop at: “If for any reason, you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, you may return it free of charge for a period of 365 days from the original purchase date”. How many stores do you know that give you a year to return your items ?
The cherry on top? They even pay for the return shipping fees!
Shop till you drop and don’t forget to add a gorgeous pair of vintage inspired heals , one of fall’s must haves!

Fall 2007 Fashion Report: Part II
Filed Under Blog, Fashion, Seasonal | 1 Comment
Now is the time to stock up on all the gorgeous Fall fashion so when the chilly weather hits you are ready to hit the streets with the latest looks for this season! Here’s part two of the Fall 2007 Fashion Report:
Knits: They are bold, gorgeous and oh so touchable. Make sure you have a big, chunky very soft sweater in your closest this season, when the knits feel this good you won’t even want to take them off. My favorite look for Fall knits: A knee length chunky cardigan in one of Fall’s bold color’s with fur trimming. Could you feel more glamorous?
Pencil Skirts: Another must have, they are knee length, just below the knee and half calf, whichever length you choose they look very sexy with this season’s shoes.
1940’s style waves: To match the red lips for Fall make sure you take advantage of this very feminine and yet powerful look. These waves look great with both the skirts, shift dress and wide leg pants showing up on all the runways.
Sequins: This Fall is all about embellishing your look and sequins are one of the top ways to do it. On a hand bag, on a sweater, add a sequined hair pin to your waves for a beautiful evening look.
Waist Length Jackets and Blazers: Blazers are all over the place and they are being shown with pipping and accents, like gold pins and contrasting plaid patches. Continuing the trend in waist length jackets, your fall wardrobe won’t be complete without a leather waist length fitted or bomber jacket!
Camel: Oh, my absolute favorite, season after season! This is a lesser trend than gray and purple, but an equally important one, camel is showing up on sweaters, fur coats, pencil skirts and shoes. It looks great in the season’s chunky knits.
Long Gloves: Can you believe it? This is most definitely the season of both lady like and powerful women, what a great combination! The glove is back and it’s past the elbow, bold, and luxurious. Make sure you check out H & M’s delicious selection of long gloves!
The Cape: A perfect fit for a season of long gloves, waves, red lips and berets, the cape is back in bold, eye-catching colors. Whether you love capes or you’ve never had the pleasure of wearing one, this is the easiest way to keep warm and look fabulous.
Shoes with Ankle Straps: What else would you expect from a season of 1940’s styles? These shoes are gorgeous and look great with each and every style of the season.
