2010 Golden Globes gifting suite

So I was lucky enough to get invited to an a-mazing Golden Globes gifting lounge – THE Hospitality Suite by Live Loyal PR and EMC Bowery at the Pascal Mouawad Estate.  It was at a crazy amazing house in the Hollywood Hills and I had a great time.  Check out my full report on TheLuxurySpot.com.  And yes, that IS Angelina “the Kim Kardashian of Staten Island” in the photo with the girls of Jersey Shore.

The Beverly Hills 90210 tour, as created by moi

So the rain has cometh here in the normally sunny Califor-i-a.  Luckily for me, I managed to talk my friends into going on an old school 90210 tour with me last Saturday.  We laughed, we ate Chipotle, we drove all. over. Los Angeles to find the houses of the epic cast of the original Beverly Hills 90210.  Enjoy.  BTW- none of these houses are actually in Beverly Hills.  Go figure.

Yes it is.  It’s Casa Walsh- home to Jim, Cindy, Brandon and Brenda and then eventually Steve and Valerie.  Yup.  I almost melted.

 

 

Dylan McKay’s house which, ironically enough, was only four houses down from Casa Walsh.

 

My friends in front of Steve Sanders’ high school house.  That Samantha Sanders did pretty well for herself, huh?

 

Kelly Taylor’s high school house (and Jamie C. on the right).

 

Stay tuned- Kelly and Donna’s beach house and West Bev High are on the list for this weekend!

Jersey Shore blowouts 101

 

So you’ve probably all read my take on MTV’s Jersey Shore but now you’re getting Jersey Shore, the beauty edition.  I can’t help but kind of love DJ Pauly D (real name Paul Delvecchio) for his profound quotes and, of course, his sterotypical guido blowout.  Going to college in Long Island, I was privy to many a guido blowout but none of them can even compare to the skill and sweet care that goes into Pauly’s immaculate look.  Wanna know his secret?  Thanks to the Daily News, we can all get a little dose of “Guido 101.”  You’re welcome.

The two must-have products?

 

The must-listen quotes?

  • “My hair didn’t even move an inch and I was in & out of the water. My hair’s windproof, waterproof, soccerproof, motocycleproof. I’m not sure if my hair’s bulletproof, I’m not willin’ to try that.”
  • “You gotta stay fresh-to-death I call it – fresh outfit, fresh haircut, fresh tan, just stay fresh.”

COVERGIRL launches “CoverGirl Clean Makeup For Clean Water” Campaign

So I’m embarassed to say that I had no idea that more than 4,000 children die every day from diseases caused by unsafe drinking water.  This fact is unfathomable considering how much water we, as Americans, use every day and completely take for granted.  This is exactly why I was super excited when I heard about COVERGIRL’s new campaign- they partnered with the Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) program, an organization dedicated to addressingthe critical, global need for clean, safe drinking water.  In celebration of the millions of loyal COVERGIRL Clean Makeup users, they decided to contribute $500,000 to CSDW.  A-mazing.

Wanna get involved?  You can enter an online contest by submitting a short video explaining how you give back to make the world a better place and why this makes you beautful, both inside and out.  Here’s the best part- for every entry received, COVERGIRL will provide one week’s worth of clean drinking water to a child in need.  Entrants also have a chance to win a humanitarian trip to Africa as part of the next Clean Makeup for Clean Water mission.  Visit www.covergirl.com/cleanforclean to enter!
