Renting Spree

Most women go on a shopping spree to buy the threads they need for a special event, but Rent the Runway offers another approach…and it’s catapulted them to success. The season of proms, college formals, and spring business soirées is upon us. Instead of popping hundreds or thousands for a gown that could be deemed passé if worn twice, you …

Meet CLASSIC Makeup Artist

The song I chose for this video describes Tricia, the stunning Bobbi Brown makeup artist. Here she shows how to get false eyelashes to dry quickly by using a very high tech cosmetic fan. Just joking!

Easter Around the World

I love this holiday and learning of different traditions. For me, it’s a quiet day to reflect, attend church, spend time with loved ones, and pass out treats to neighbors and anyone feeling alone. For others, it means spring, Easter outfits, and social events. I can appreciate that sentiment. If you fit the latter category, there is an abundance of …

Men’s Favorite Fragrance for Women

I’m talking about Laila, the scent created by Geir Ness, Norway’s perfume genius. Laila was #1 in a test of which scents men found most attractive on women! It’s sold today because some powerful men asked for it. Geir spent almost five years creating Laila and named it after his mother. He secretly imprinted a copy of her signature on …

Farmers’ Markets and Floral Dresses

That sums up a major reason why I love spring! Seattle’s Pike Place Market is a favorite. And Kate Spade is sundress paradise. So I combined the Market and this floral confection. Pike Place, the longest running farmer’s market in the USA, was founded in 1927. Unique stalls, shops and restaurants cover three floors and the other side of the …

Emma Watson’s Gloss

As celeb makeup artist, Darais, was doing Emma’s makeup, she confided that she found lip-gloss containers messy because product goop always builds up around the rims. So Darais teamed up with Lancôme to create Gloss in Love, with a goop-free, push-button, pop-up lid. Ingenious! Plus, they made Gloss in Love a lipstick and gloss all in one cosmetic. I learned …

Love at First Sight

This week is Celebrity Central. I’m featuring different A-Listers and what makes them amazing. Since it’s Meeting Men Monday, I couldn’t think of a better subject than actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. He may be Game of Thrones’ BAD boy, but in reality, he’s GOOD when it comes to romance. In a recent InStyle interview, Nikolaj explained about his wife, “It was love …
