Hair Repair: The Ojon Try Me Hair Ritual Kit
I know, I know. The official holiday shopping season is nearing a close and if you’re anything like me, you’re still scratching your head for a few last-minute gifts. Here’s a thought: The Ojon Try Me Hair Ritual Kit. Some 500 years ago, the Miskito people of Central America — known as “the people of […]
Gold Mine Kit from Jane Iredale
The peeps at Jane Iredale never cease to amaze me. Pioneers in the mineral makeup biz, Iredale continues to pump out healthy, wearable cosmetics with colors and textures just as pretty as anything you’d find in a department store. This time it’s the 24-Karat Gold Mine Kit containing six glamorous shades – gold, silver, bronze, […]
Hawaii in a Box: Malie Kauai Bath and Body Collection
If you ever wondered where I find out about all these yummy spa products, well… I’ll tell ya but it’s our secret. Yes, I do occasionally venture away from the safety of my office computer and recently wandered the International Spa Association (ISPA) conference showroom floor in Las Vegas. And one exhibitor that drew me […]
Shave Rave from Whish Body
Shaving is about as much fun as brushing your teeth. I take that back. Shaving has the added excitement of wielding a sharp instrument across your skin without drawing blood, which I do … everyday, same ankle, same dang spot. That’s why I’m positively giddy over the new Whish Body line of luxurious, spa quality […]
Kashwere for the Pampered Pooch
The deliciously soft, unbelievably durable Kashwere robes were gobbled up in droves after Oprah declared them among her favorite things in 2005. Fast forward a year and now you can buy drool-worthy Kashwere furniture, blankets, apparel (the Sport Jacket is officially my favorite thing of 2006) and of course, pooch wear. Available at furrme.com, the […]
Hey Jealousy for Manly Men
Honestly, I’m a teensy bit jealous. Hunky packaging and a selection of neatly trimmed products for head to toe — and they’re all for boys. A hip new collection of high octane men’s grooming products, Billy Jealousy is just the thing for guys unabashed by self-pampering. The Hits Vol. 1 Holiday Gift Set is a […]
Open Season
I don’t know about you but my day calendar looks like a Hum V ran wheelies all over it. So with the holiday shindig season in full swing, we figured there’s no better time to get us organized with an online calendar that tracks all the fab spa and salon events around town. Thanks to […]
Oy to the World
Ah, finally. Stylish, sassy e-cards minus the dancing chipmunks and exploding chickens. Remind your distant gal pals to find some chill time during the busy holiday season with an e-card from Hipster Cards. From retro to irreverent, the Christmas and Hanukkah collections include such favorites as “Gingerbread: tastes great with vodka” and “Oy to the […]
Om on the Download: Yoga for your iPod
Today’s word of the day: Breathe. Your to-do list is a mile long. Your cell phone is wassailing (or is that my phone?). And the holiday madness is well underway. Steal a few minutes away from the chaos of Life to breathe along with an audio class from Yoga Download. Each mp3 class is led […]
Walgreens Makes Pretty
Department store beauty counters fluster me. Don’t get me wrong, I love dabbling in the latest lotions and potions but I can’t help feeling a twinge of guilt bugging the salespeople when I know I have no intentions of making a purchase (until I get to the shoe department anyway). That’s why the new European […]
Par-fect Salon Sunday
