With all the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it’s hard to take a step back and remember what’s really important. During a recent walk around my neighborhood, I noticed an advertisement for a NYC’s government-initiative charity program, NYCService. This, coupled with the Weight Watchers Lose For Good™ campaign, seemed like a sign from above […]
A few new cosmetics came across my desk that are definitely worth sharing in these dog days of summer. The common thread that joins these products together? Each makes use of marine ingredients, which makes me feel a bit like Venus stepping off her clamshell. My favorite, Sukipure Concentrated Nourishing Toner, has been a godsend […]
This past weekend I went to the beach with some of my closest friends for 3 days of fun in the sun. And we were certainly in the sun! However, even though we’re still in our twenties, we all really made an effort to sun-worship safely. I was really impressed that each of us meticulously […]
Last Monday the earbuds on my iPod started to die. I know I’m not the only one who relies on a personal music player to get through the day — so I’m sure you can imagine the dread I felt knowing I’d have to spend a few days sans-music. Fortunately for me, Creative Labs sent […]

Last Saturday, my two closest and oldest friends came into town, and we spent the afternoon shopping and having fun in the Big Apple.

This afternoon, Siggi’s Yogurt sent over some of their favorite flavors for my office to taste, and man, were they tasty!

To me, it was the perfect mix between regular yogurt and Greek style — […]
Looking over my blog post from last week, I realized that I’m still having massive hair issues this summer! I’m growing it out for another Locks of Love donation (my fourth!) and having long hair in the heat can be such a drag. So today I decided to do something different — braided pigtails! I’m […]
Summer can be brutal on hair. Massive amounts of frizz from humidity and green highlights from swimming pool chlorine are only 2 of the many issues we face — which is why the ladies at work staff rounded up their favorite products to feature in one of today’s homepage articles, High-Performance Hair Care. One of […]
Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about Nature vs. Nurture, and wondering if we’re all destined to become our mothers (or fathers). Which certainly wouldn’t be terrible, just something interesting to consider. Specifically, is weight influenced more by genetics or socialization? After reading a bit on the topic, I still wonder if I love chocolate […]
It has been pouring here in NYC for three whole days! Not the typical June weather I remember. However, our office recently received a little help with “Letting the Sunshine In” without the risk of skin cancer. Check out the homepage today for Sizzling Summer Beauty: Get Sun-Kissed Skin; a roundup of our favorite bronzers […]
