Summer is almost here and we are already feeling the heat. It’s time to make sure you have all the things you need for a summer vacation pool side or on the beach.
Having the usual items like the perfect swimsuit, cover up, oversize bag and sunscreen make for a great start. This summer, add a few more items to turn up the volume on your summer style.
Understanding how damaging the sun can be on our skin is really important. When you slather on the sunscreen, add a hat and sunglasses. Big hats and large sunglasses can offer additional protection from … Read More »
By now, everyone has heard that it’s in one’s best interest to eat as organically as possible and to avoid toxic cleaning products in the home to reduce the risk of illness and disease. But what about the personal care products you use each day? Are you reading those product labels as carefully as food labels, and if so, do you really know what those ingredients are or what they do?
The average person uses nine cosmetic products each day, from lotions and soaps to deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, skincare, makeup, hairspray and perfume-with roughly 120 chemicals spread among them.
But whether … Read More »

Well beauty lovers, it seems that coral is the ‘go-to’ color for spring makeup. The latest runway shows featured an orange lip that was a bit much for my personal taste, but I digress!
Bobbi Brown has a new collection called Cabana Corals. It includes lip and cheek shades to compliment most any skin tone. If you’re at all intimidated by this melony hue, and wonder how you can make it work for you, fear not. I recently spoke with Bethany Brill, accomplished hair and makeup artist, about tips on how to bring the coral cosmetic trend into your life, minus … Read More »
Oscar night would have made the Olympic panel proud. The metals of gold, silver and bronze were all represented. The competition was fierce, but with elegance and grace. And the judges had Nikons, not numbers.
Gold-dusted eyes on SJP (my love-hate relationship with her pale yellow Chanel Haute Couture gown was confusing)
Silvery makeup on Kate Winslet’s complementing her pewter YSL (that is if you could see past the reflection on the $2.5 million Tiffany & Co. diamond necklace)
Demi Moore’s metallic bronze glow against her stunning Atelier Versace tiered blush gown (does she age?)
And didn’t the gold statue look gorgeous against the … Read More »
My sister recently began selling Avon. Of course, I wanted to support her, but was not sure how I felt about their products. I have been a dedicated MAC and Laura Mercier customer for many years and did not want to deviate from the norm. I am always cautious about switching products due to my super sensitive and unpredictable skin!
As I was browsing around on her site I discovered the Mark. line. I had heard of the line prior to this, but never had a reason to try it. The first products I ordered from Mark. were the speedway cover … Read More »
We all know that lipstick can double as blush and that you can use a piece of pencil eraser for a missing earring back in a pinch, but did you know that there are a multitude of items in your toddler’s diaper bag that can do double duty? In my last 16 months of mommyhood, I’ve discovered some cool tools in Hayden’s room – baby essentials that moonlight as grown-up gear!
Baby oil - If the name doesn’t give it away, it’s most commonly used on your baby’s delicate new skin. Another use? Smooth it onto YOUR skin after you get … Read More »
I’ve always been a healthy woman…that is until my daughter entered the cesspool world of preschool. So now with every school project that enters our home come the germs of dozens of little runny noses, sore throats and puffy faces.
Here are a few tricks to at least look pretty even when you’re pretty sick.
Problem: No sleep
You have: Raccoon eyes
Pretty Quick Fix: Slice a raw potato and place the slices under your eyes for a few minutes. The potassium helps get rid of under eye dark circles. Place a dot of light eyeshadow in the inner corner of your eyelid and … Read More »
Maybe it’s the way I stroll slowly through the hat department, longing for something new. Perhaps it’s how I lovingly lift my grandmother’s fine vintage examples out of their boxes, eager to wear them mix with the latest style. Or the way my hat shelf is brimming with berets, Trilbys, bakerboy caps, fur hats, etc. You get it. I love hats.
But why am I always trying to cover my hair? Seriously. The reason…I have no follow through. Outfit, check. Makeup, check. Hair…oh, let’s wear a hat, shall we?
My do is usually a don’t, I won’t lie. It’s the last thing … Read More »

I’m sure I’m not the only one who loves the whistling of an old radiator heater. It’s a comforting sound that’s reminds me of being a kid, settling into my cozy bed on a chilly New England night, feety PJs in full effect. That whistle meant toasty flow of warm air was on its way.
It’s also a sneaky siren. One that calls your moisture. And whisk! It’s gone.
Let’s face it. Literally. Winter temperatures went down and your skin dried up. Spring isn’t on the horizon for months and your face is a lackluster reminder of scraping ice off windshields and … Read More »

Or not.
Winter…she is a cruel mistress. Dry sense of humor. Not only does she rob you of slimming clothing options (really, who looks thin in 14 layers of fabric and thick boots?…ok, Kate Hudson…but who else?), but she steals from you every drop of moisture you have.
Here are few quick fix-its for when your pout is pitiful, every day is bad hair day, and your skin…well, let’s just say the Sahara comes to mind.
