My quest for the best probiotics to help heal my freakin’ face is well documented on this blog (here and here), but turns out the probiotic holy grail is probably kefir. Made-at-home, DIY kefir. Even if you’re a faux celeb, you gotta make it so it’s nothing but plain ol’ fermented milk. There are better…
Look, I know every so often I get all excited about a beauty product and proclaim, “this is IT!” But, y’all, this is IT.* Magic cream. With a funny name. I’m pretty sure I bought it mainly because it’s funny that it’s called Africa’s Secret and I love all the dirty hippie ingredients in it,…
I have decided it is the fault of the jeep that my face is not as stress-zit free as it once was (click here for more on my face). What with air pollutants coming at me at 90 miles an hour on the reg—wait, let’s be serious, the jeep ain’t going 90, so maybe like…
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…
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…
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…
I don’t care how you do good, but you need to do it. Smiling at people, holding the door for someone, carrying groceries … it’s the little things. But if you are looking for a place to donate money this season, I have two places. Both work primarily with kids. Do Good: Debra I got…
We ALL know not to eat that junk, right? I’m pretty good about it–particularly the gluten, less so the sugar. But yesterday was my birthday. And That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM) was going to make me an almond flour cake but ran out of time, so after a sunset picnic atop Aspen Mountain (awwwwww!), he…
Dr. Mercola produced a huge segment on the yellow powder today: turmeric. He discusses its myriad of health benefits, and then addresses what we all REALLY want to know: how does it make me more beautiful? Curcuminoids support important blood and liver functions, healthy joints, and your overall well-being,* which in turn helps promote radiant,…
I love Trisha. She pads out of a back room in cute sweatpants and a vintage tee and says, “Ready?” It’s time for my first facial (this one wasn’t that good) at Skin by Ann Webb, a place I’ve grown to love as I’ve gone for some laser hair removal on the recommendation of not…
