1. I just finished up my Pantene commercial behind the scenes series at Hair Thursday, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t leave out a single detail. Part one here. Part two here. Part three here. Part four here. Phew! 2. I’m drooling over my new Joy the Baker cookbook. What do I make first? Banana [...]
As if you haven’t seen enough of my mug lately, here I am times eight. Freaky, huh? All in the name of cosmetic research, though! Let’s talk about lip color. I love me some lip color, ladies, and here are my very favorite nude and soft pink lip colors. (We’re going for subtle, daytime shades [...]
Here’s another segment I shot for Yahoo’s The Thread about fashion and beauty etiquette from the 20s through the 50s. The REAL reason I want to show you this is that I totally took your advice during my No Shopping Challenge weak moment in January. (Thank you!) The majority of you all told me to [...]
1. Everything about the woman in the above photo is perfection to me. Absolute perfection. 2. I completely forgot to announce the winner of the Jewelmint giveaway from a few weeks ago. Sorry, guys! The winner of the JewelMint jewelry is #41, Abi! Congratulations, Abi. I’ll be contacting you shortly. 3. Speaking of giveaways, don’t [...]
While we’re on the subject of videos, I totally spaced posting this video of an interview I did with Dr. Deborah Luftman. (Remember when I requested your rosacea questions in the comments? Well, she addressed many of them in this interview.) Take a look if you are interested in the subject! (For those of you [...]
Well. You all are about the most lovely people ever. Thank you so much for your supportive comments this week. Really, you had such wonderful things to say, and I loved reading every single one of your achievements. We’ve got some serious superwomen in our midst. As much as I want to leave that post [...]
Happy New Year, everyone! I just returned from a week visiting my family, and I’m more than ready to take on 2012. In terms of Hair Thursday, this is going to be a great year. I have some incredibly exciting news to share with you in the upcoming months, and I CAN’T WAIT. (Seriously, I’ve [...]
Y’all know I have a thing for men with beards, right? I mean, I’m pretty sure I’ve covered this fact somewhere way back in the archives. If not, take a look at what stares back at me on my inspiration board at my desk on a daily basis. So, yeah. Facial hair is a fine [...]
The lovely, inspiring, and absolutely crushworthy Joslyn has asked me back for her Blogger’s Favorites feature. You can read about my favorite things here. Thanks, Joslyn, for having me!
Listen. You don’t have to follow my newest lip gloss recommendation…but I’d like to point out that I AM the person responsible for spreading the NARS Flamenco love to the masses. (It’s the perfect, sheer, buildable red lipstick! Ask Linda! Or Metalia! Or Susan! Or any of the countless people who now can’t live without [...]
I’m leaving for Palm Springs in a couple of hours. How did this happen? I feel like I just got back from my last trip to the desert yesterday! Super excited to see my family and celebrate Thanksgiving by the pool. I’ve also packed my video camera in hopes that my sister will film with [...]
My skincare routine. Let’s do this. A little about this skin of mine. It’s usually pretty happy, except for occasional sensitivity or a rosacea flare up. (What is rosacea? Everything you need to know is right here.) When I do experience rosacea, it usually manifests itself as redness and a few skin-colored bumps around my [...]
On Sunday, D and I kissed the kids goodbye and drove to LA first thing in the morning. Like always, I was a little apprehensive about leaving the kiddos, especially considering this was my first true night away from Wita, but my excitement for the day was keeping me from dwelling on that too much.

The Emmy Awards. Rosacea. Two peas in a pod, right? Hmmm, let me see if I can bring you full circle. If you’ve been around here for awhile, you know that I deal with mild rosacea. (I’ve mentioned it here and here. Also, here’s a short video on the condition.) For me, rosacea USUALLY means [...]
Take a look around your room. Peek in your closet. Does a certain color rule the roost? Green has long been my favorite color, but I’ve definitely noticed a trend over the past decade. Most of my big ticket, beads-of-sweat-forming-on-the-brow-as-I-pull-out-my-wallet purchases have been in the bright grassy green shade that I love so much. Color [...]
