So I went “New Me” a little early for the new year thing, but I LOVE being blonde. It’s more strawberry blonde, almost reddish, but it’s a really fun change for me. You know I LOVE Pink Salon, but if you’re looking for something, well, more calm, you might try out Avant. A friend passed…

Paula’s Choice
You may have noticed the new Paula’s Choice little graphic in the righthand column under the “Things I Like” cloud. Yes, friends, it’s an ad. Before you think I sold out–and make no bones about it, I sort of did–let me just tell you that I use Paula’s Choice. I love her Skin Balancing Cleanser,…
Lash Extensions? I want Texas-sized Lashes
I’ve long lusted for Texas-sized lashes. If I don’t have mascara on, you sort of wonder if I haven’t gotten enough sleep or if I’m sick. I don’t look awful, but I don’t look good. Over Halloween I got to experiment with fake lashes (the little three-lash pieces you glue on your own eye) and…

Free eyebrow shaping?!
Sometimes, you go to all these events at stores and boutiques and it becomes the same thing: little snacks on white napkins, wine in plastic cups made to look nice, and mini-makeovers. All of which are good things. But when you hear of an event with something entirely new, you get a little bit excited.…
I <3 Sabia
There are some things I don’t get about Austin. Like today when I was trying to find DaVine Foods for some sprouted grain pizza, and I stumbled into the Enchanted Forest where a man was welding some things and didn’t notice me as I walked by four times looking hopelessly out of place. Only in…
SkinBella facial = so-so
Maybe I’m biased because I don’t really have problem skin, but my spa week treatment was not as exciting as I had imagined. Maybe it’s because I didn’t really realize that my SkinBella “facial” was a microdermabrasion treatment instead of the exfoliating-masque-extraction-moisturizing facial I was thinking of. milk + honey itself was nice enough, if…
Spa Week!
Spa Week is somehow little-known, but it’s amazing! Spas present several of their (normally very expensive services) for just $50! It’s to promote awareness and hopefully hook you on spa visits, but for me, it’s going to be my first facial. Four Austin spas are participating: milk + honey (2 locations: downtown & hill country…
