So I just started to use The Clarisonic cleansing system- two words: I'm hooked. My skin feels squeaky clean and refreshed. My tip- if you are thinking of getting one of these fabbies- do a quick once over with a makeup removing towelette to get the stubborn eye makeup off and then go to town with your cleanser and your Clarisonic brush. Part skin cleanser- part miracle worker. It's a two in one - takes off dead skin and gently buffs away to a new brighter you. Trust me- you'll thank me later.

Also hooked on: Kerastase Shampoo and Conditioner. You know that feeling you have when you leave a hair salon feeling all silky and smelling delish? Well that is this exactly- packed in a bottle. Trust me- you'll thank me later.

And lastly: Pureology's Essential Repair split end treatment. I used this as my leave in conditioner right after I towel dried my hair. Blew my hair out in no time and did not have to calm any frizzed out tresses or spray down any flyaways. Extra shiny and bouncy, not sure if this was a combination of the shampoo and conditioner with the split end treatment or what- but either way I am hooked. Pureology's treatment smells like paradise in a bottle and made my hair feel like heaven.

So you know what I'm going to sat- Yup...Trust me...You'll thank me later!

I always dreaded those words, now- not so much.  It's been YEARS since I've been out of school, I had some of my best memories and some of my worst throughout those years.  All in all, I am who I am today because of it.  It's funny to think back on some of the styles we lived through- ah yes...the early 90's.  Some of those trends must have been a cruel joke- but we wore them!
I always had a thing for clothes - though I definetely came into my own after college, I think I was known for loving to change my look. ( The hair and make-up phase came later).  It's ironic to see some styles coming back- like Bass Bucks and the whole Prep look- cuffed jeans, button downs and vests.  Plaid, polos and Tretorns OH MY.

 I am loving the 2000's version of Prep- a la JCREW and The Gap.  So true what they say... Fashion is evolutionary NOT revolutionary.

Yes, I work for L'OREAL and Yes, I am privy to trying new and exciting products.  I am not going to lie- for the first time in long time, I can honestly say I enjoy my work.  I also love blogging, and bringing you guys the information I get makes me feel like I am sharing the wealth (of Fashion and Beauty that is).  And while I do have some higher end department store favorites, there are some pretty fabulous products that you can find right at your local drugstore.

 Hey- why pay department store prices for virtually the same product?  Here's the list:

Have you seen all the celebs rocking the lace shorts, lace dresses, lace tops...lace lace lace- I know...lace can be girly, feminine and sweet though- it does not have to be all racy and well... you know...risque.  Plenty of lace inspired frocks and heels all around...for everybody.
