5 Things To Do This Weekend

Cycling/Spinning? Rock your Up band/FitBit/Nike Fuel Band on your the velcro/laces of your shoe. Above is my daily steps as of 1:23pm today, when I'd done not one thing but worked and gone to a 45-minute Flywheel class. That's where instructor Jesse Alexander gave me this game-changing tip, which increased my steps astoundingly. I'm always so annoyed that my cycling counts for bupkes stepswise, and now, I'm getting credit for it. Get involved. Buy Bobbi Brown's Pretty Powerful Mascara on Continue Reading [...]

Make The Most Of Your Sleep This Weekend

So Daylights Savings Time is upon us (we're springing forward on Sunday morning, friends) and every year, I get just a little baby bit of JETLAG from losing an hour. I'm deeply a night person, and am currently trying to train myself to become a morning person (it's a lifelong process, I fear) as after decades of being able to do my best work in the middle of the night, I'm suddenly, bafflingly, incapable of stringing words together in a sentence after the hour of 7pm. So I'm doing everything I can Continue Reading [...]

Official Mascara Correspondent: Bare Minerals Lash Domination Mascara Review

Here, Official Mascara Correspondent Ashleigh Ciucci takes Bare Minerals Lash Domination Mascara for a test-run. The review, in her words. I must start by saying the brush on this mazzie is cray! It's rubbery and spiky and spiraled.  There are ruts in between each spiral, which hold loads of product. With one coat, there was tons of coverage and it took a bit of work to get it evenly dispersed among my lashes. But after playing a bit (luckily it doesn't dry fast), my lashes looked full and bushy, Continue Reading [...]

Carol's Column: Open Chest Follies

By Carol (my mother) I don’t know about you, but I am definitely experiencing open chest fatigue.  You know the look – nearly full frontal nudity, precariously framed by a wide V of fabric, plunging to the waist or thereabouts. Unflattering to most film stars, let alone to ordinary women, it is terrifying to think of this trend reaching critical mass – with the masses. Bad enough for the likes of Amy Adams in “American Hustle,” in which a seriously misguided interpreter of 1970’s Continue Reading [...]
