Jeannine Morris on E! Emmy’s segment!

So working in the beauty/social media industry, I meet a LOT of people.  Most are fairly nice or at least tolerable but I do hold a few that I’ve met close to me and consider them TRUE friends.  Jeannine Morris is one of those few!  As a former Cosmo editor, beauty writer and founder of BeautySweetSpot.com, Jeannine is a mega force in the beauty world but wanna know how we fell in friendship love?  I was flying out to LA to find an apartment, my flight was delayed SIX, yes I said SIX hours and I went on Twitter only to see that Jeannine had tweeted about having a glass of wine in Terminal 5 at JFK.  Wait- I was in terminal 5 at JFK!  I tweeted back and emailed her and eventually we found each other!  How CRAZY is that?  Anyhow, we stayed in touch and when she came out to LA to do an E! segment for the Emmy’s we hung out poolside at my favorite spot, The Roosevelt Hotel (we even met Sal from E!, who apparently thought he knew me), and I helped her practice her lines for the segment!  I’m proud to say that Jeannine absolutely killed it- flawless.  Check out her segment on her blog, here.

Halloween 2009: Lady Gaga…the look achieved

So Halloween.  I posted about how I was going to dress up as Lady GaGa and I’m happy to say that my costume was a huge success.  Sure, there were a few people who thought I was a member of KISS…and a few who thought I was trying to be Jem…but for the most part, I think people got it.  I owe a big thank you to the amazing product I used to make Lady GaGa’s famous black lightening bolt, Physician’s Formula Eye Definer Felt Tip Eye Marker.  My friend Kelley put her artistic skills to use and was shocked at how easy it was to draw the lightening bolt with this product.  Plus, it didn’t smudge, melt or move ALL night.  The photo isn’t great but you can see how awesome this product worked for my Lady GaGa look 😉

Hard Candy…reinvented

So I can still remember when I bought my first bottle of Hard Candy nail polish.  It was a sparkly teal green called “Mermaid” and I was obsessed with it after reading the story about how Hard Candy was created by a med student trying to find the perfect shade of baby blue polish.  I just love crazy “look what I stumbled upon” stories like that…one can dream, right?  Well, that was a long time ago, and as of 2009 Hard Candy has been reinvented and is now sold at Walmart, all for less than $10.  A far cry from their original days of $12 polish.  I’m loving the new Holiday Collection and I think I’m about to re-live the 6th grade…

Michelle Roy jewelry

So lately I’m really into statement jewelry and I recently checked out a few designs by Michelle Roy.  They’re a little rock star, which I love, and are definitely conversation starters, which I also love.  My favorites?  Layered chain necklaces, snake pendants and studded rings.  Check them out (and more) at MichelleRoyDesigns.com.

Celeb Crush: Puck from Glee

So I’m slightly embarrassed to admit this but I kind of have a crush on Puck from Glee.  I know.  Mortifying.  Puck has a real name and it’s Mark Salling.  I’m sure I wouldn’t find Mark half as charming as I find Puck…which further proves how completely messed up I am when it comes to men!  Of course I’m attracted to the rude, bad-ass with a mohawk.  So typical.  And don’t judge me…he’s 26 in real life.  Check out this video of him singing “Sweet Caroline.”  Melting.
