I just got an email that said I won a million dollars. Eh. I’ll settle for a million dollar smile. The key to that smile is my new fav lip balm, Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15 ($17, elizabetharden.com). It’s light, yet feels divinely smooth and lush on your lips. And […]

I was plucking my eyebrows the other night when I became so enraged, I threw the tweezers on the floor and had myself a little hissy fit. The tweezers were totally inadequate, and I said so as I threw them out. My boyfriend witnessed this petulant behavior and asked me what could possibly make one […]

I saw a picture of Daisy Fuentes at a Burberry store opening recently. She was sporting heavily lined eyes and medium-dark mauve lipstick. I thought it was a bit much, in a dated 1990s kinda way. But I also know that it’s a thing with me…I can’t wear a blue top with jeans, and I […]

I have one. It’s shameful. Want to hear it? I cut my cuticles. Obsessively. Any little hangnail, rough spot, lo que sea, I grab my cuticle cutter faster than you can yell ‘Stop!’ I can’t help it. I’ve tried…I’ll try harder. And in that effort, I’ve started carrying around OPI Avoplex Cuticle Oil to Go […]

Love, love, luuuv Christina Aguilera’s new song, “Keeps Gettin’ Better;” can’t, can’t, caaan’t say the same about her new look. The hair and blunt bangs are just so straight: no body, no bounce, no bravo from me. I just want to flip her head upside down and work in some John Frieda Luxurious Volume Lavish […]

So remember when I told y’all about Celia San Miguel, the bloguera who put together her own round-up of the best 25 fragrances ever? Well, I thought of another timeless fragrance I love that should have made the list: Stella McCartney Stella ($67 for 1.6 oz., sephora.com). It’s a soft, feminine rose-based scent. Oddly enough, […]

So I’ve been invited to a baby shower, and now I’m searching through buybuybaby.com and potterybarnkids.com for a gift (um…did you even know Pottery Barn had a kids store? News to me.). It’s got me thinking baby thoughts; baby booties, baby onesies, baby food, baby cream. And so, tonight I’m going to pop off the […]

Bueno, chicas, what do we think of this latest Bravo celebrity indulgence “The Rachel Zoe Project,” huh? Okay, yeah, I watch it. But I used to work a bit in fashion and I think clothes are walking works of art, so that’s my excuse. How-ev-ah, aside from her annoying catchphrases (“I DIE”) and manic Starbucks […]

So a lovely lady on our Latina staff is pregnant (well, actually, two of our lovely ladies are pregnant; let’s hope it’s not in the water), and today we had a chat about how the growing little boy in her belly is changing her body. Of course, the issue of stretch marks came up. She […]

Ladies, I have a shocker: Did you know that almost 80% of Americans have trouble sleeping or have sleep “issues?” Yikes! I bring this up because Origins is soon coming out with a line of products devoted to helping us tired chicas get much needed beauty rest. It relies heavily on the use of essential […]
