I first heard about INGLOT (www.inglotcosmetics.com) on a business trip to New York. Work colleagues and I stopped at the Times Square store and I was mesmerized by all of their latest offerings. INGLOT was similar to MAC but it wasn’t nearly as congested as most MAC stores, and unlike MAC, at INGLOT, I felt [...]

Don’t Let Your True Calling Die
I have this quote on my refrigerator: Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, [...]

Never Say Never
The 83rd annual Academy Awards will be broadcasted this coming Sunday. So, I should have been going to the theater to watch one of the films up for Best Picture like Black Swan or The King’s Speech. Instead, I went to Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. I had heard really good reviews of the film, [...]

Perfect Party Heels
One of my absolutely favorite singers is Mariah Carey. Not only is she incredibly talented, but there’s something about her that is so real and authentic.

So, although I try something once, I generally revert to my regular regimen as it has proven to be quite effective for me. However, I was ridiculously thrilled when I sampled the Anti-Aging [...]
What Makes A Beautiful Person
I was recently reminded why I started writing this blog. Not that I needed reminding, but it was so interesting to hear from another’s perspective what it is that I want to communicate and hope to impart. A dear friend of mine once told me, “You give people hope and we need more people like [...]
Trina Turk Textiles
California-born Trina Turk, inspired by the L.A. mix and cocktail party and poolside lifestyle of Palm Desert, is known for her casually sophisticated sportswear clothing collection of wearable, optimistic fashion. So, in Spring 2009, it was naturally fitting that she would translate this same splash of California to a printed indoor/outdoor fabric collection for the [...]
The Hubbub of Fashion Week
For all you fashion lovers out there, the big event that is currently taking place (since last Thursday and until this Thursday) is New York Fashion Week for Fall/Winter 2011. Actually, it’s sponsored by Mercedes-Benz so the official event title since 2009 is Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Twice a year, an assemblage of the who’s who [...]
