It's back! Okay maybe it will even stick. (I neeeeed a new name for this reoccuring title. Help!) This Friday is dedicated to favorite things that add pretty to my life....and face/hair;) PEONIES. I can't get enough of these flowering beauties. I think what makes them even more perfect is their very slim window of availability at NYC bodegas which makes them a novel treat to the start of summer in this apt of ours. Fresh flowers are such a simple indulgance of mine and just make me smile! Homemade Flavored Water. Do you ever go to a resort or spa and notice how their water is never bland but always perfectly equalized with lemon, cucumber, orange or grapefruit? It is it such an indulgance and instantly calming. I drink a TON of agua everyday so this retreat from the tasteless Manhattan water is a new daily routine of mine for my morning commute. Cucumber has been my choice of the week, doesnt it look super fancy in that TJ's bottle? It is a sip that's refreshing, hydrading and I feel special drinking it ;) PS: not to get all soap-boxy on here, but drinking a gallon of water a day is the best investment in one's skin. it's true. oki'mdone. Bobbi Brown Extra Repair Foundation SPF 25. That's quite a title for a tinted moisterizer. It's packed with anti-aging properties and based on my extensive research in Lucky Mag, Glamour, Vogue and US Weekly...one should be on a skin saving regime before wrinkles appear. SO...this does the trick. AND...makes me have the "dewey" look which I love. I use a MBadascu SPF lotion underneath and then this gives an extra layer of SPF25 protection. I glow and feel like I'm doing the best for my skin. Moroccan Hair Oil Light Treatement. It is of no surprise to those who know me that I have been highlighting my hair since I was 14yrs old, love using jumbo hot rollers and the occasional flat iron. Over-heating, stripping and dying my hair is (sadly) the norm. I was turned on to this MHOLT by the stylist who did my wedding hair and it has added so much effortless shine to my locks. I use it 1-2x/week (just a dime size dollop neccessary) and run through my hair pre-blow drying. AMAZING. And the scent? It's like a sweet almond or something and I wish they made a perfume, too. Heavenly! M.A.C Lipstick in So Chaud. I know I know...it's bold. Some may say even clown-ish upon first glance. The bright lip/neutral outfit combo is big now in the City and while I am only a 80% trend follower (okay 75%, I cant do the oxford shoe/jumpsuit/round circle sunglasses look), this is something that makes me feel really feminine and pretty. What doesnt hurt in the whole equation with this orangy-red lipstick is that is goes remarkably well with my transparent/alabaster-ish skintone adding color so easily to any look. Try it out!
