Detox: Day 4 & 5
Oops. Well, in celebrating Ted Gibson’s foray into What Not To Wear, I chose to forego the cleanse and drink a little Moet. Which… well, it wasn’t as bad this morning as it usually is, first off, and secondly, I didn’t feel the effects nearly as much as my poor lunch decision… Now I feel […]

Detox: Day 3
Day 3 began with grogginess, as per the usual. It has progressed, however, into land of “drink as much water as possible.” The mood is up, the happy factor is pretty good – I feel smarter, for some reason. Maybe because most of the time, the champagne afterglow makes me quite a bit stupider. More […]

Detox: Day 2
Nope, nope, nope. This is my breaking point. At about noon today, I gave up on cutting out coffee completely. Keeping in mind I’ve never detoxed before, well, one precious (and little known) side effect is one monster mood swing after mood swing.

The detox system has only 3 parts – a citrusy liver-energizing drink as soon as I wake up, a super fruit fiber drink midmorning, and then a deluxe liver cleaning crazy […]

(From Julia Allison’s Lifecast at Nonsociety.com) As a ginger myself, I love chronicling the descent into carrot-topdom. Webutante Julia Allison recently went from chocolate brown to super red with the help of Jason Backe at Ted Gibson. See her spicy progress as a redhead here. Summer is the prime time to switch it up, people! […]

I don’t use makeup, and find the trends of guys tweezing their eyebrows into points, wearing foundation, and applying lip gloss throughout the day more than a bit creepy. Of course there are mitigating circumstances, sunburn on the forehead, a savagely destroyed pore, or even a black eye, too distracting for black tie events. The […]

Makeup Trick: ReNu
I received a tip in my inbox, stating: To lock your eye shadow down and keep it from fading away: Dip your makeup brush into a drop of Bausch & Lomb ReNu Multiplus saline contact solution before applying eye shadow. The sodium chloride (aka salt) in the solution will make the shadow extra moist since […]

One of my favorite brands, Crazylibellule and the Poppies, has just introduced a new collection of CrazySticks, “Les Garçonnes.” The brand (a highly giftable, package-driven brand – seriously, check out the other fragrances - adorable) has been creating these little 0.17oz portable, solid fragrances called “CrazySticks” for a while, and now is introducing 7 scents: […]

“Guinness is Good For You.”
(Photo from The Swell Life) As I once proclaimed, I love Daphne Guinness. And this just in from Jane Larkworthy at W: she’s collaborated with Comme des Garcons to create a fragrance called “Daphne.” The blog states: Her scent, Daphne (out in September), is a woody concoction with hints of bitter orange, saffron, iris, patchouli […]
