Thanks to Walgreens for underwriting this post. I was paid as a member of the Clever Girls Collective, but the content is all mine. Visit http://www.discoverbeautywithin.com/ The lingering residue of my past as a beauty editor is that I’m constantly experimenting with beauty looks, BUT I can’t ignore my roots as a ponytailed, low-maintenance jock…

Feel Good Friday 042712
Feel Good Friday is a roundup of the things that made me feel good or that I’m grateful for all week. Join me and leave your Feel Goods in the comments! A perfect Sunday spent lounging by the pool and beheading (or is is de-tailing?) crawfish. [#bastian] The horses. Equine therapy is real. Sand volleyball.…
No, Really, You Can Drink More Water
I’m a huge proponent of drinking more water. I write about it all the time, perhaps ad nauseum. But there’s no reason not to, as water has billions of health benefits, beauty benefits, skin benefits, athletic performance benefits, diet/satiety benefits … the list goes on! I’m usually pretty good about getting my 64 ounces in…
Cosmetics 27, My New Favorite Skincare Regimen (or, why I sometimes wish I was still a beauty editor)
Super moisturizing. Solid. Silky. Undeniably luxe. Chemical-free Cosmetic 27 skincare line is undeniably amazing and so very French. Cosmetics 27 dispenses with the notion of complicated skincare and focuses on a simple two-or-three-step regenerating skincare regimen: Cleanser 27 + Essence 27 (+Baume 27, if you like) and maybe Eyes27 (I didn’t try it). On the website they have…

But you guys also know how much I love sales and deals … and you share that, as we’ve discovered sale sites from LivingSocial to Eversave, MooLaLa to aDealio. Now there’s a new one, for awesome products that somehow make the world a better…
My Brush With Fame: SkinMedica’s Silky C+E Complex
OK, not really. Late Fashion Week news of the beauty variety … while the shows at Lincoln Center were in full swing, SkinMedica participated in the GBK Styling Lounge across the street at the Empire Hotel (gawd I want to go there and channel Chuck Bass) where celebs Lindsay Lohan (Mean Girls was on TV…
Glitter French Manicure
I’ve pinned it, tweeted it, and now am blogging it. I am officially obsessed with the glitter french manicure. It’s Rich Bitch nails with an edge—what’s not to love? PritiNYC Polish in Coronation + SoEasy Stripe Rite in Silver Glitter … hot. May also try again with thicker tips, perhaps a slow fade of glitter?
Hair I Want
Can someone please teach me how to make my hair do this? I have tried many iterations of the braid, but it never looks this smooth and flawless, blending in seamlessly to the rest of my hair. HELP!
