NET-A-PORTER.COM Launches Beauty (with a super chic luncheon)!

I feel like last week was just full of fun events, which I love, and I was super stoked to attend a fab luncheon hosted by NET-A-PORTER.COM, in honor of their new beauty launch!  Clearly, being the beauty addict that I am, I’m excited.  A highly select edit of 11 brands, including Chantecaille, Natura Bissé, Aesop, Le Metier de Beaute, 3 LAB, Beauty Works West, Philip B, Joya, Ilia, Sarah Chapman and James Read will kick-start the phased launch.  Even more makeup, hair and skin products, as well as nail polish and fragrance (spanning niche and established labels) will be added every week.

Thirty, Flirty and THRIVING…With a Black & White Affair

I’ve been putting this post off since March 9th (my actual 30th birthday) and I’m not quite sure why, aside from my usual lazy factor.  I think it’s probably because I’m pretty much terrifed to think about what 30 actually means to me; but, alas, here we are…and I’m TOTALLY thirty, flirty and thriving.  Jane, my best friend since 4th grade, texted me on my birthday and she was asking me how I felt, now that I’m 30.  My response?  I feel like 30 is the year that you accept yourself for who you really are, and not just who you aspire to be.  For me, I feel like it’s finally time for me to embrace the fact that I am a stone-cold weirdo, no pun intended.  At this point in my life (after 30 years of living!) I have a solid group of loving friends and family and they actually like me for me, so it’s time that I just say “hey, THIS IS ME, take it or leave it” to everyone that I encounter.  I’m so lucky to have all of the friends that I do in Los Angeles, especially considering that I knew about three people when I moved here 3.5 years ago!  Here are some of my favorite photos from my birthday celebration at Aventine Hollywood.

Sponsored Post: Jergens Natural Glow – Month 1 (and $250 gift card giveaway!)

 

 

If you read my blog, then you know that I’m a perpetual user of the most amazing invention in the world, self-tanner.  To be honest, there isn’t enough time in the day for me to tell you every single mishap that I’ve had while trying out various brands and products…let’s just say, there have been many.  My personal favorite story is 100% the time that I did what I call a “slop job” (e.g. quickly apply self-tanner in a hurry) before my BF at the time came to visit me at college.  It was summer and we were going to a big outdoor all-day concert and I will never forget what he said to me:

Ex BF: Are you really going to wear that skirt?

Me: Yeah…why?

Ex BF: Your self-tanner looks terrible…people are going to think I punched you in the legs.

Fact. That happened…which is exactly why I’m super pumped to test out Jergens line of new Natural Glow Moisturizers over the next three months; great color with no gross self-tanner smell.  Make sure you check back to see my progress using the new line!

NEW Jergens® Natural Glow Moisturizer provides the same great, natural-looking color but without the sunless tanner odor!

Share your embarrassing tanning story for your chance to win a $250 Visa gift card.
