Lipstick Jungle

"These women aren't looking for Mr. Big, they are Mr. Big"Forget Desperate Housewives...this Fall (actually whenever Sunday night Football is over....which is definitely not soon enough!), I'll be watching Lipstick Jung le on Sundays at 10. Lindsay Price is fashion designer, Victory. Brooke Shields is movie exec and mom, Wendy. Kim Raver rounds out the trio as magazine editor, Nico. All have been named to Wall Street Magazine's '50 Most Powerful Women in New York' list. Author Candace Bushnell said of the three: ?What I tried to do with the characters is put them in the same situation that powerful and successful men often find themselves, ... I'm fascinated by what it's like to be a woman in one of those powerful positions because there is really no road map about how you're supposed to behave. Just as society needs to re-evaluate our ideas about femininity and what women can do, we as women need to re-evaluate our ideas about it too.?Watch clips, check out photos and find o...

Please, Don't Do This

This OPI ad was the first I saw with the black and gold jewel-encrusted version of the '40's manicure (with moons unpainted or a different color). Then, I saw the Dior ad in the July Elle (pgs 4 & 5) with a pink/white and green/white version of the above. I think I'd run if I saw someone sporting this look...what do you think?

Foomomchoo.com
2007-06-11 18:30:00
If you haven't gotten on the podcast bandwagon yet, here is a great place to start!!!Foomomchoo.com is a weekly podcast for women. It was created and started by Nellie Coes and Sheilah King who share advice on many different topics. I recently talked with Sheilah about how foomomchoo.com got started, and here is what she had to say:"...we are childhood friends who got married and started having babies at the same time. We have kept each other sane by talking on the phone at least twice a day everyday. Unfortunately, we've never lived in the same city. We spend our time on the phone making each other laugh and making fun of ourselves and the situations we have found ourselves in with our kids and husbands. We decided to do the podcast thinking that there were other women out there, deep in the trenches with their kids like we are, and that they might appreciate our warped sense of humor. And that's basically it. Right now we are really having fun with this..."Foomomchoo.com reads ...

Salma Hayek
2007-06-04 07:44:00
I am not trying to give Salma a hard time.I like Salma, but my sister and I were just discussing this issue over a good issue of In Touch or another one of our favorite smut mags and then I read this from Bag Snob - I don't care what Bag Snob says or who Salma is marrying, but she is not wearing pregnancy well.It is also unfortunate that she is photographed so often, maybe she doesn't always look that bad.Let's be real honest - toward the end no one really looks like a rockstar....I don't care how skinny you are / aren't. The first five months aren't so bad....Boobs, Salma's Boobs -check out the boobs.Now mine were big when I got pregnant, but good Lord!And Ankle wrap sandals when you are swelling? What is she thinking?Okay, so I lied a little, I do care that she is marrying Francois-Henri Pinault, the CEO of PPR and Yves Saint Laurent and whose father is the 74th richest man in the world....bitch...:) Although, Francois-Henri is not exactly what I'd call haute...so that mak...

Spray Tan
2007-06-01 21:11:00
I had my first spray tan before my vaca last week. I actually loved it. There are some issues you must know about first. Spray tan is not just as easy as walking in, get sprayed, leave and in a few weeks it fades away. No no...it is a little more complicated than that, but way worth it!Here are my tips and tricks of this trade:1. Do not do a Mystic tan - get a spray tan where someone actually sprays you. Stop being modest...they've seen what'ya got.2. Do cover your face. It is great to look tan but when your face is that dark...not so attractive. Take an old towel, burp cloth/pad whatever or ask for a towel and cover your face. That is what you spent all that money on bronzing powder for anyway.3. Go home barefoot. Just trust me.4. Wear something lose fitting and not your favorite t-shirt. The spray does come out but I just wouldn't.5. Don't wear a bathing suit (like in the photo) and don't wear a bra, but wear a thong because you want the tan to cover your buns. If not, then ...

What a Sanctuary
2007-06-01 00:31:00
We are back from vacation on Seabrook Island (at right). Not familiar with it? Well it is a smaller island right next to Kiawah Island. They are both gorgeous, but we like Seabrook because it is smaller and quiet. There are no hotels on Seabrook Island that is how small and sort of remote it is.If you want lots to do you can go to Charleston for the day, or night, or over to Kiawah, which has grown tremendously in the past few years.One place we went that I have to recommend is the new Sanctuary Hotel in Kiawah! OHHHH is it phenomenal! We went there for dinner on our anniversary night. We ate at the hotel restaurant called the Jasmine Porch. The food was outstanding, service amazing and the wine list....don't get me started! They had some of my favorite hard to fine vineyards listed!!!! I was in heaven!

Summer Make Up
2007-06-01 00:13:00
I recently had the chance to check out the new Spring/Summer line from GloMinerals with a seasonal makeover. I love to do this atleast twice a year to see which new colors are in and break out of my rut.As you can guess from the name, this is a mineral makeup line. Glominerals bases are formulated using powerful pharmaceutical-grade antioxidants, natural, high-pigment minerals and broad spectrum UV protection. These products are designed to deliver a flawless complexion while improving the health and appearance of the skin and protecting it from the outside - in.I have a new favorite product...the gloPressed Base. After my 11:30 appointment, I went to visit my mother-in-law and then to a friend's house to swim with my 2 boys. Neither knew that I'd had a makeover, but both gave glowing unsolicited comments on my complexion. When I returned home at 7:30pm (after being splashed in the pool and playing out in the heat & humidity) , I still looked flawless...even my husband noticed. Th...

Summer Skin Care
2007-05-29 13:38:00
It's time for a regime change (and not just because it's election season!) Ditch the heavy creams and stock up on sunscreen!I am using Skin Ceuticals Foaming Cleanser. Be sure you cleanse away all that sunscreen at the end of the day!SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic serum is a must year-round! You must read the research on this amazing product...it provides 8x photoprotection, reduces sunburn cells up to 96% in UV irradiated skin, & prevents thymine dimers (DNA mutations associated with skin cancer).Daily Moisture is a great product for the p.m. summer regime. It minimizes pores & hydrates without greasiness (so it's also great under makeup!)The face, neck and chest need lots of protection if you're going to prevent sun damage & wrinkles. I like SkinCeuticals Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30. It works well under makeup for daily use & doesn't cause breakouts!If you have any spots from past sun damage, have your derm check them out. Ask about a 4% hydroquinone lightener, like the one ...

Thank goodness for this product. We scheduled a last-minute vacay for next week and I'll have to miss my color appointment. So, instead of my usual 5 week interval, I'll have to go 7 weeks...not good.Quick tint to the rescue! It's a genius instant hair root touch up pen that lasts through 2 or 3 shampoos (or until you remove it with baby oil). Dab color (there are 10 shades...even blonde) on a small comb and distribute through roots.
