The 54th Annual GRAMMY’S!

Awards season is always a good time here in sunny (though not today!) Los Angeles.  Since some of the P&G beauty brands were the official sponsor this year, I got invited to a fun pre-Grammy party at MyHouse (and no, not my actual house) and then, lucky for me, MasterCard invited me to attend the actual Grammys this past Sunday.  Of course, I became immediately obsessed with Rihanna’s custom Giorgio Armani dress and thought “my GOD, she looks AMAZING.”  The cleavage, the back and, of course, the legs…which brings me to the new Venus & Olay Razor.

It’s not available until March 15th but I got my hands on one a little early and guys, it’s pretty awesome.  You actually don’t even really need separate shaving cream (or shower gel, as I frequently use) because the Olay hydrators actually help the blades glide across your skin.  Loving this…almost as much as I love Rihanna’s dress.

Third Annual Anti-Valentine’s Day Gift Guide

Here it was the first year…and here it was the second.  Welcome to my third installation of my annual Anti-Valentine’s Day Gift Guide.  I don’t do these because I’m down on love (I love love!) but instead, I like to find gifts that help me treat ME on Valentine’s Day.  These are things that I want and would probably make my boyfriend buy me anyway…if I had one. Ha.  That’s a totally different story…

Refine Mixers Pre-Grammy Event at BLO Bar (hosted by me!)

It isn’t every day that I’m asked to host an event that’s honestly such a perfect fit for me.  When I was approached by Refine Mixers, I was flattered and excited because really, what do I love more than a low-calorie cocktail and getting my hair done.  Refine is now partners with BLO blow dry bar as their official cocktail mixer and guys, this stuff is awesome.  The cocktail mixer is all-natural, sugar-free and has ZERO calories – basically, you can make yourself a margarita for less than 100 calories…and that’s just from the tequila.

Aside from Refine’s two drink choices of the night, Red Carpet Margarita (see below for the recipe!) and Champagne Cos-Blo, attendees had the chance to get their hair blown out in true red carpet fashion.

LATHER Clear Head Balancing Balm

Putting it all out there, my life has been a little stressful lately and I’m at the point where I’m trying new things that I haven’t really been open to in the past.  I mean, I never thought I’d ever read a book on Buddhism and I even tried yoga again (though I still kind of hate it).  When I heard that LATHER just launched a new Clear Head Balancing Balm, I was pretty excited to try it out.

The Balancing Balm is basically an aromatherapy product that uses soothing emolliens and therapeutic essential oils to help ease pressure and tension, while also clearing the mind.  You apply it to your temples, forehead, back of neck, etc. and it instantly gives you a sense of relaxation.  I’ll be keeping this at my desk, for sure.

The Monday Rundown

S’Mores: I’ve always loved S’mores and guys, sometimes I make them in my apartment.  In my gas fire place.  Don’t tell anyone.

West Elm Zigzag Floor Pouf: I clearly have a thing for black and white…and lately, also anything chevron.  I love this floor pouf.

NUANCE Salma Hayak Hydrating Balm Rose Petal: I love a good all-purpose balm.  This one, by Salma Hayak, has shea butter and primrose, both good stuff for your skin and amazing for hydration.

Tory Burch Woven Rope Bracelet: I saw this bracelet the other day while I was returning something to the Robertson Blvd. store.  I had already decided on a new wallet but I’ve now got this fab bracelet on my mind…the photo doesn’t even do it justice!  The blue is an amazing cobalt shade and it’s patent material.  LOVE.

Free Rides at New York Fashion Week!

If you’re going to New York Fashion Week this year, you should totally take advantage of the free rides from U by Kotex!  Alas, I am NOT going…and honestly, I’m pretty happy about it.  I’ve been traveling way too much and I’m looking forward to relaxing.  Also, I just found out that I’m going to be attending the Grammys (and the after party) so stay tuned for photos.
