Larchmont Sanctuary Spa  

November 1, 2017

Wow, there’s a little piece of heaven right under our Larchmont noses. How exciting to discover this stunning little sanctuary. With a glorious menu of services, including a copper tub soak (heavennnnn and big enough for two). My tub soak was incredible and I need around ten more hours in it. I had an incredible deep tissue / hot stone massage with a top notch therapist. The spa is stunning, the staff is wonderful and it has the feel of being somewhere far from LA. I felt like I was up in Big Sur or Ojai. This is the perfect little getaway when you need a personal day. And of course, the perfect gift or couples retreat.

All You Need When You Ditch Your Lash Extensions!

October 27, 2017

Yes, after 10 years of lash extensions, I’ve gone au natural. Now it’s mascara for me – and my daily dose of Jessica Johnson lash serum –  which have made my old lady looking lashes looking like my seven year olds. I am in SHOCK. It’s actually freaking me out – they are so dang long.

I have not worn mascara in years and now I know why. It sucks. It smears, it sweats, it pills. Not with Cargo Swimmables Waterproof Mascara Top Coat.

Now I can transform any mascara into a tear-proof, waterproof, and sweat-proof formula.

This invisible top coat transforms your lashes without affecting the performance of your favorite non-waterproof mascara! (CargoCosmetics.com, $22.00)

CELEBRITY HALLOWEEN COSTUME IDEAS

October 22, 2017

Stuck on what to be this year for Halloween? Get inspired by your favorite celebrities and recreate their signature looks. From classic to current divas, Hairdo has a variety of styles and shades to help you accomplish the look.

Taylor Swift

The old Taylor Swift might be “dead” but her looks definitely aren’t! Rock her chic and cute bob with Hairdo Classic Page Wig ($119, Wigs.com). This alluring wig gives off blunt, shoulder-length edges, an off center part and soft, full bangs.

Coming in 12 different shades, get the right T-Swift shade and look like her in no time.

Cher

Cher has many iconic styles, but her straight, long hair instantly strikes off a sexy and confident look. Get her ‘do in seconds with Hairdo’s 8pc Straight Extension Kit ($79, Ulta.com), giving you the ultimate length and volume straight up.

The piece easily attaches with pressure-sensitive clips and includes eight 16” pieces so you can choose how much glam you want.

Ariana Grande

Who wouldn’t want to look like Ariana Grande? As the third most followed person on Instagram, and number one woman, she’s bringing in the followers with her statement ponytail and looks. While us normal people have to use companies like upleap.com to grow our Instagram followers (we can’t all be popstars!) Grande’s wowing the platform with her style. No matter how many different styles this Pop-Star tries out, we all know Grande makes her statement with her lengthy, high ponytail. Instantly pull off Ariana’s look by adding length, verve and volume to your pony by using Hairdo Simply Straight Pony ($49, Ulta.com).

*Note: These celebrities are not wearing Hairdo products, but we wanted to show you how to get the look by using them.

So – check these two out – YUP – this is what me and Aria (my 11 year old) will be rocking this Halloween. Ok, that’s a total lie. I am so not waiting for Halloween and I am totally not stopping there. I will wear these whenever I can. ARE YOU KIDDING?!!!!!
