Lips are always getting dry..we use them a lot, and they’re sitting there, exposed on our faces, so it’s important to protect them. My friend, who has big lips, always uses Fresh’s Sugar lip treatment. i would borrow it from him, and one day, when i decided to start using Fresh products, i bought some myself. He has the original, which is clear.  The girl who works there introduced me to their Rose tinted version, and that’s what i began using. Until a few weeks ago…i learned that Fresh had come out with a brand new color, plum tinted, just in time for the fall, and i decided to try it out, so i bought some. but how does it measure up?? i mean, it’s all over online, but is … Read entire article »

Until this past Monday, I’d never had a facial in my whole life. I’d played around with masks and stuff.. I’d even gotten a sample fake facial at a store, where you try out their products. But never an actual, real facial. Rewind back to a year ago, when I got one of those million coupon offers in my email, and I was feeling down and thought well hmm, I should get a facial! And I bought one (half off!). Then I forgot about it. Realizing my coupon was going to expire, I quickly emailed and scheduled an appointment. Unfortunately, there were no appointments not during work, so I took off early at nearly 3pm and went over to Aesthetique Skin Care. Inside, it looked like a doctor’s office. I … Read entire article »

This week I’ve kind of had writer’s block.. My mind feels blank inside. There are things I want to write about, but I cant at the moment, and that kinda squashed the whole process for any other topics. But today I thought of something that is pertient. Buying a bathing suit. Waay back in January or february, I started looking for a bikini. I had several trips to warm places planned, and my bathing suits were a few years old. So I looked. And failed. And fortunately, when I went to San diego, it was too cold for a bathing suit. Then I came home and once again tried, and failed. And so I wore my old suit to palm springs. Ok but Now I will find a suit..but nope. … Read entire article »

Here is a blog I’ve been meaning to put up for a while… My friend Roya http://twitter.com/royasfstyle sent me a press release about her new company she’s started, Reve by Roya, and I wanted to put it up for her. Roya is smart, and creative, so if you’re in the market for some jewelry, check out her shop. If you’re short on money right now, just check out her blog, Style Celebration, which is a must for anyone trying to learn about style, fashion and its icons. I go there when I want to be educated. To me, SF is not a very stylish place, but Roya brings a little of that into our lives! (Here are a couple of old pics of me and Roya, because I haven’t uploaded … Read entire article »

If you’re a long time reader of my blog, you might remember how over the past couple of years, i’ve made it a goal to learn how to be more girly. i never learned growing up.  i didnt really have friends, and my mother and sister (and father and brother) are all even less girly than me, outwardly. Inwardly, i’m really not very girly at all, but i wanted to look my best, and to me, looking somewhat but not overboard girly is my best. So i researched. Mostly online, trial and error, a lot of observation…  i’m still working on it. the other day, my twitter/blog friend mary announced her operation sexification.  She too, never really learned how to be girly. and then other women commented, and said they … Read entire article »

Nobody ever taught me how to be a girl. All I’ve learned so far has been through my own trial and error, or internet research. It always seemed like other girls inately know this stuff, or learn it from their other female friends. One thing I’ve always looked at, and wondered at, is other girl’s hair. So many women have such nice looking hair. Especially if you see a gaggle of girls all done up to go out somehwere, or maybe if you see them on tv, or looking all put together at some professional thing, there are these women with smooth, coifed looking hair. For the life of me, I was never able to do that. My hair always felt like it was raggedy and flyaway. All broken ends … Read entire article »
