Drybar's The Morning After shower cap is lined with soft terry cloth to protect your hair from moisture, humidity and feels comfy against your skin. The fit is great - not too tight, but snug enough to keep your hair dry. The Morning After shower cap is my preferred headpiece for those days when I can't be bothered washing my hair.

ghd rose gold
May 25, 2015
This ghd styler had me at a moments glance - I luv anything rose gold! This set includes a 1" styler that is dual voltage (important for travelers), two sectioning clips, a heat resistant travel case and a detachable heat-resistant mat for placing your hot styler on. So far, I'm impressed..
I was drawn to this styler because it is dual voltage, it is award-winning, has positive reviews (and it is rose gold). Tried, tested and true - this styler is great! The ghd styler leaves my hair silky and straight. At a safe and effective temperature of 365°F, the ghd styler is not super hot and there is no option to increase the temperature - no temptation or even the ability to put the temp at max and cause damage to your hair.

Texas Tea and Sake Bomb
May 12, 2015
I've been a dedicated fan of Bumble and Bumble shampoo and conditioner for years, but a few months ago I went on weekend trip and packed samples of Drybar hair products in my carry-on (simply because I was lacking space). I'm so happy I did! I always get samples from beauty stores and hardly ever use them.. this time paid off and I've learned my lesson - try new things! I have been converted and am using Drybar shampoo and conditioner, Texas Tea and Sake Bomb. Texas Tea volumizing shampoo and conditioner provide instant fullness without stripping your hair of moisture. Texas Teas gives you that much needed weightless bounce we all desire. Sake Bomb shampoo and conditioner are nourishing, have a pleasant scent and leaves your hair feeling incredibly silky and most importantly - shinny. I go back and forth between the two, depending on what my hair needs, moisture or volume.
Sake Bomb is available in travel size - the 1.7 oz bottle is flat and convenient when packing too many toiletries (as I often do). Purchase these and other Drybar products at thedrybar.com or Sephora.com.
*Both Sake Bomb and Texas Tea shampoo and conditioner are free of sulfates, parabens and phthalates.

Restylane Silk
May 06, 2015
My recent visit to the dermatologist consisted of baby botox and Restylane Silk injected into my lips and oral commissure area. I am no stranger to fillers and lip injections - in comparison to other brands I gotta say Restylane Silk hurts, swells like crazy and left me with major bruises. You will notice in the photos above that day one my lips were huge! This is normal and happens with most fillers, but by day two the swelling usually subsides - not the case with Restylane Silk. The day after my procedure my lips were even bigger, I had a major bruise on my lip and I was showing signs of bruising on the skin above my lip. My dermatologist warned me that there would be excessive swelling and possibly bruising, so I was not surprised that my lips were getting worse everyday. I slept with my head propped up on two pillows, took arnica tablets 3 times a day and iced my lips often (this is important). After one week the swelling and bruising was gone and my lips look great! After all that pain and suffering, I have the perfect pouty lips I was hoping for.
So why choose a filler that has higher risk of side effects, such as bruising and swelling? The fine needle and smaller particles in Restylane Silk allow for more accurate and precise injections, so your dermatologist can create a subtle, natural pouty lip. Your dermatologist or a cosmetic enhancement professional can really form a specific shape, control the thickness of your lips and create perfect symmetry with small, continuos injections of Restylane Silk. This is my new favorite filler! With the combination of a great dermatologist and good injectable filler, you will have amazing results, but there may be some pain involved (and hiding in your house for days)!

Beauty Tips: Olive Oil
April 23, 2015
Can't get last night's eye makeup off - just pour olive oil on a cotton swab and wipe clean. It won't irritate your eyes and removes even the toughest makeup stains (even if your oil based makeup remover couldn't).
When time is a factor and you need your polish dry NOW, dip a soft brush in olive oil and gently swipe across your nails. It will accelerate drying time and nourish your cuticles.

NUDESTIX
April 13, 2015
NUDESTIX is great for removing makeup mishaps. Glide the clean-up pencil over your mistakes and then wipe away with a q-tip. What sets this product apart from other makeup remover pencils? The oil infused crayon-like tip does not absorb the makeup, so it is always clean and doesn't transfer last weeks makeup mistakes back onto your skin.

Mister Perfect!
March 25, 2015
Worth a second mention - Givenchy's Mister Perfect Instant Makeup Eraser quickly and gently erases makeup mishaps. Where has this Mister Perfect been all my life?! It's almost impossible to apply mascara down to the roots of your lashes without getting a little on your lids and removing the smudges (with a q-tip) can be a struggle. Then I met Mister Perfect.. the marker-like pointed applicator allows for precise removal of unwanted lip and eye makeup - a must have!

Are you applying dry shampoo correctly?
March 17, 2015
I recently read an article about the misuse of dry shampoo (I can't recall where I read it though). As do many of you, I applied dry shampoo in the morning when my hair was oily and immediately brushed it through. I've learned that you should apply dry shampoo at your roots before bed - this will allow time for the dry shampoo to combat the oil while you sleep and in the a.m. your hair will look fresh (as fresh as it can be with dry shampoo). This method works great - the results are fresh hair, no oil and less of the heavy residue feel you get with applying in the morning.
I use Bumble and Bumble prêt-á-powder at night - it's too heavy for daily morning use, but a great sleep-on-it dry shampoo. This dry shampoo smells great, the powder is light and blends fairly quickly. Prêt-á-powder is available at www.bumbleandbumble.com and Sephora.

Want a Smooth Shave?
March 15, 2015
Visit your nearest drug store and pick up hair conditioner for dry hair - the thicker the conditioner, the better. Or, use your regular conditioner (thats one less product to buy). Apply to your legs (and anywhere else you might require smooth, hairless skin) and shave as usual. The creamy layer of conditioner delivers intense moisturizer to your skin allowing for a smooth shave, no nicks and no razor-burn. I've tried a variety of shave creams over the years, but I always go back to hair conditioner.
