Recap of Pop-up Boutique Launch

No Comments

Thursday night I attended the launch of the Global Fashion Brands/Farasha Boutique pop-up shop in Downtown West Palm Beach. I love my new camera, but for some reason, certain inside lighting sometimes gives my photos a yellow tint :(I was greeted with a goodie bag of beauty and hair samples, and entered the over 5,000 square foot boutique, which was filled with racks and racks of bright colored clothing. This boutique definitely screamed summer! We were also offered cocktails made with Blue Feather Vodka, one of the event’s sponsors.There was a makeup section with KROMA Makeup, and was told that they would be having a great deal on their brow shapings this weekend while the boutique was open. …And a Redken hair station for touch-ups, staffed with stylists from The Sanctuary Salon & Spa in West Palm Beach. There was also a dermatology expert as well as an esthetician from The Sanctuary…

Jessica Szohr & Softer Underarms, a Winning Combination!

1 Comment

As some of you know, Dove has launched their gosleeveless campaign, featuring the girl-next-door bombshell we all love to hate on Gossip Girl, Jessica Szohr (who plays Vanessa). (You can check out a behind the scenes video on Jessica’s Dove photoshoot here). The Dove campaign is all about their newest Ultimate gosleeveless deodorant, which I was lucky enough to get to try out. First off, I am a HUGE Dove deodorant fan, and it is definitely my go-to brand of choice for deodorant. I have been using it for as long as I can remember, and not only are they comfortable, and really work, but they smell amazing! The Ultimate gosleeveless is an anti-perspirant/deodorant with unique ¼ moisturizers and vitamins E and F. Not only is it designed to protect from wetness and odor, but the ingredients replenish underarm skin, to actually leave your underarm feeling softer and smoother. The…

Feathers in my Hair

2 Comments

So…I might be a little late posting about the trend, but I’m not that late on joining the pack. Today is exactly 3 weeks since I DIYed installed my feather extenstions. I stay installed because I chose to put in the extensions with the crimp bead, that basically won’t come out until I take them out. I happy to report that now, 3 weeks later, I am still in love with my feathers. I actually forget that they are there, since they are lightweight and not bothersome.Jennifer Love Hewitt sporting her feathered locks. I ordered mine from ebay (from starasiastarr), who I would highly recommend for her fast shipping and HUGE selection! My package came with my choice of 5 feathers (I chose mostly neutrals, so they would blend in, but still stand out, from my dirty blonde hair: black and white grizzly, golden yellow grizzly, blond badger, black and brown…

Skin Tips from Celeb Dermatologist Dr. Jessica Wu

No Comments

Celebrity Dermatologist and author of “Feed Your Face”, Dr. Jessica Wu, works with AVEENO and is sharing some great tips and tricks to keep your skin at it’s best.TIP #1Many people don’t realize this but the condition of your skin has at least 50% to do with the food you eat – Choosing to eat the right foods is as important as choosing the right skin care ingredients. To keep your skin looking youthful, be sure to have some protein at every meal, since collagen (which keeps your skin firm) and elastic tissue (which helps it bounce back) are both made of protein. This will also help keep your blood sugar stable, which fights acne, rashes, and wrinkles. TIP #2Everyone focuses on what you can’t eat, not what you can. You do not need to starve for good skin. For example, EAT PIZZA! Start with whole wheat thin crust, go…
