Happy Fourth of July!
Thursday July 2, 2009
Are you flying anywhere this weekend? Before you go, check out this handy chart from USA Today about all the various airline fees and my own tips about limiting liquids in your carry on. Fortunately, I'm traveling from New York to D.C. via Amtrak, so I won't have to worry about any of this.
Happy Fourth, everyone!
Aromatherapy for Energy
Wednesday July 1, 2009
There's nothing like a hot shower with a delicious-smelling shower gel to get you going in the morning. I'm typically drawn to citrus scents, like grapefruit or lemon. Turns out, I'm right on target with those scents, according to the Aromatherapy At Home Blog. Other eye-opening scents are black pepper, eucalyptus and ginger.
In my shower right now, I have the Dove Beauty Body Wash Go Fresh Energize in grapefruit and lemongrass, which I'm loving.
Do you have a shower gel that helps you wake up in the morning? Please share!
Best Ever Bra
Monday June 29, 2009
Last week, I told you about my favorite panties, now let me tell you about my favorite bra: The Spanx Bra-lellujah. It's ultra-comfy--you can wear it all day and all night and not even notice you're wearing a bra. I love that it has a front closure, so there's no bump on your back, not matter how silky your top. The Bra-lellujah is made of a super-soft, hosiery like material and has wide straps won't dig into your shoulders. Plus there's no itchy tag.
I've recommended this bra to several friends of all shapes and sizes and they all thank me for it. So, trust me, you're going to love this bra!
It's $62 and comes in 5 colors, ranging from nude to black. Available at Spanx.com.
Kim Kardashian Is Fighting Cellulite
Friday June 26, 2009
God love Kim Kardashian for going public about her cellulite a few weeks back. She has since tried the "Nivea Good-bye Cellulite, Hello Bikini Challenge," with reportedly good results. "After taking the four week challenge, I’ve noticed an improvement in the appearance of my cellulite," says Kim. "My energy is up and I feel more confident in my bikini than ever before."
While I'm not a big believer in the power of cellulite creams, nor am I looking to add yet another step to my nighttime regimen, it's worth signing up for the challenge. After answering questions about how hard and how frequently you work out and what your eating style is, Nivea emails you a customized plan, complete with workout and diet tips and fun beauty and style advice. My favorite part is the suggested playlist for your workouts.
