Twiggy in a tube

Ladies, throw away those false-eyelashes! Now you can get the same dramatic, lengthened, clump-free, Twiggy-Esq eyelashes of the 70's, in a tube! The Diorshow mascara should be required in makeup bags everywhere! This mascara has an enlarged wand great for volumizing even those tiniest eyelashes, making your eyes pop!

I, myself, enjoy testing the waters and trying different products, even if I am satisfied with the previous one. However, I will NOT trade my mascara anymore. I have never found a makeup product that suits me more than this does. It can be a bit pricey, however I feel if it works and lasts it, it is well worth every penny! Give it a try, there will be no disappointment

I'm feeling HOT HOT HOT

I have recently became an addict. I have became SO addicted that two days without it, I feel like a fat lazy slob. My addiction is Bikram Yoga aka Hot Yoga. I was always the person completely against yoga. My ideal exercise is pushing my body to its extremes, sweating to tunes on my Ipod, and listening to someone yell,"One more set!" I always felt that yoga = boredom. UNTIL, I went to my first Hot yoga class. I researched online before actually testing it out, interesting enough burning 900 calories in a 90 min. class is enough for me to give a whirl. I mean, all you would be doing is stretching in an oven, right? Hardly so! Bikram yoga test your strength, stamina, balance, and flexibility ALL at the same time. Not only making it difficult but also extremely challenging. As an avid gym-goer Bikram yoga worked my body in ways a gym simply could not. It worked my body from the inside out. My suggestion? Give it a try, and try it more than once. Each time is easier, however each time is still challenging. It is a great way to spice up any exercise routine, and get out of a rut. I promise, you will be pleased!

Pretty in Paisley....

Paisley... It is all the rave on the runways. This Victorian-Esq printed fabric is yeilding a huge comeback since its circa 1960's acclaim to fame. The tear dropped yin-Yang's were spotted on the runway in the shows of...
Gucci
Hermes

Dries Van Noten
D&G
Valentino
DKNY
Paisley makes a great addition to any fall wardrobe. It can be easily layered and accessorized. Hermes' does an excellent job of showing how great the print can look when paired with a suede boots and a leather jacket. Want a casual evening look? DKNY's paisley dress is perfect when paired with opaque tights and python boots.

As fashionable as these looks maybe, the price tag can make the average person cringe. So how can you get a fabulous paisley outfit without spending thousands? Check out these pieces...


If these pieces don't convince you to wear paisley why not drive it? John Lennon did!

This VS That.... edition 1

Would you rather have this...



or that...

... One is the Dior Extreme Cut out Gladiators that are as exclusive as a front row seat at Fashion week. The other is the 69.95 malk version from Bakers Shoes. Almost exact without spending your trust fund... Can you spot the which is which? Hint, The Diors are a 3/4"inch higher...

Recipe of the Day....

Three of my favorite foods in the summertime usually consist of...

1. Deliciously rip fruits, such as strawberries, mangos, and pineapple
2. Seafoods
3. Salads

So when I ran into this recipe I automatically knew it was more than likely going to be a winner

Mango Salsa!!!

Ingredients
1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced (about 1 1/2 cup)
1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 JalapeƱo chile, minced (include ribs and seeds for a hotter taste if desired)
1 small cucumber, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
3 Tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Also good with diced red bell pepper and jicama.
Method
Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If the salsa ends up being a little too hot or acidic for your taste, you can temper it by adding some diced avocado.
This Salsa can be used to spruce up Seafoods, add in salads, or a fruity twist of traditional mexican salsa.

Please read this sitting down....

I have to bare some great news to you folks... First off, Sit down, take a deep breath, maybe even grab you a drink of water... Now calmly read this words out loud....... It has been confirmed by HBO that Sex and the City WILL be returning to the big screen... I repeat, Carrie and the girls WILL be back with more fashion, sex, relational screw-ups, and Manolos.




During my beach vacay, I picked up some magazines to read at while basting in the sun, when i ran across the article in Intouch. I was so intrigued that i imeditately googled (the 21st century way of conformation) SATC sequel. Just when I began coping with my life after Sex and the City, the girls do it again! I had to take a breather to keep from screaming my lungs out. However, it will be a while before productions because scripts and negotiations have not been completed. Now go and spread the word!!!!!
