Merry Christmas!

"It is a miracle if you can find true friends, and it is a miracle if you have enough food to eat, and it is a miracle if you get to spend your days and evenings doing whatever it is you like to do, and the holiday season-like all the other seasons-is a good time not only to tell stories of miracles, but to think about the miracles in your own life, and to be grateful for them."  Lemony Snicket

Amazing Grace Coddington

The latest book on my wishlist is Grace: A Memoir.  Grace Coddington is the creative director of Vogue.  She has appeared on fashion documentaries in the last few years, and has brought a new awareness to the fashion magazine industry...  A must read!

Society

I am a lover of nail fashion.  Although I am not exactly a fan of nail art, I do love the latest polish colors and nail styles.  This is the smartest business!  Nail Art Society.  You pay for a monthly membership ($19.95) and you receive by mail the tools, polish, etc. along with a step by step guide for a particular look.  Genius!

Rock That Hair

I recently read an article about some of the beauty tips the Rockettes adhere to.  They are required to wear a french twist, and for short hair a side part slicked back.  The damage to their hair is so great they use replenishing cream between shows, and they do 5 shows a day!  Hairspray of course is a staple and each girl uses approximately 540 bobby pins each season...  The final zinger, they each do their own hair and makeup!  That's good old fashioned show biz...

Emerald



I posted a year ago the color for 2012 decided by Pantone.  The color of the year for 2013 is Emerald, which I think is the prettiest green.  It goes along with the jewel color trend this year...  I love seeing it in makeup right now but you will surely see it everywhere!

Classic

I can't wait to see the movie Anna Karenina...  The hats, jewelry and clothes will have me mesmerized.  Oh, and I'm sure I will love the hair!  I have already seen influences today in romantic hair, clothes, and makeup in deep jewel tones with gold embellishments.

Beauty Blender!

I have read about this makeup tool in several different magazines but I have never tried it.  A good friend just gave me one and I love it!  One side is great for detail work, the other for applying blush and blending.  Now I know why it gets rave reviews...
