We’ve all fallen in love with a designer who’s name we just clearly had no idea how to pronounce. You’re so excited about your new find that you rush to tell your savvy older sis about him or her only to learn that a) you’re late on the discovery and b) you totally butchered their [...]

Another Designer Collaboration

About four months ago, I spotted a Bliss Spa and Aaaah set at Costco. (I meant to tell you, really I did.) But somewhere between those crazy checkout lines and all those free samples, it slipped my mind. I do remember thinking to myself, “Wow, what’s next?”

My question was answered today when I noticed the [...]

Her holiday collection is now available for purchase [...]

Talk about [...]

Was recently on the site Skin Deep to see if there was any toxic ingredients in this eye cream I’ve been jonesing over when I spotted this headline: Mercury in Mascara?!
Given everything we’ve learned over the past 30 years about mercury’s ability to damage brain function at low levels, it’s hard to believe it’s still [...]

I just downloaded the new Free Gucci iPhone app. It’s pure marketing with some practicality. One feature I like is the exclusive products that can only be found on your phone. Other than that it’s just a way for people to have Gucci on the brain. Gucci music, Gucci videos, Gucci events. Gucci Gucci [...]

Was just  flipping through this month’s issue of Real Simple and I found this interesting little tip… “October is the best time to buy jeans.” According to Lindsay Funston it’s because “the rush for back-to-school clothes has ended, so retailers are cutting prices on leftover inventory.”  Funston predicts 30-60% off retail prices and buy one-get-one-free [...]

Let’s face it, life isn’t always fair.
Losing the 4th grade spelling bee because the word “kayak” was drawn? Dealing with acne years after you’ve been old enough to legally drink. Not cool.
