Get Wrapped in Warm Winter Robes!

Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you how much I love to lounge and it’s not because I’m preggo! An ideal winter weekend consists of me in a comfy robe curled on the couch watching one of my guilty pleasure DVR’d TV shows. Few things are as comforting and relaxing on a cold afternoon than wrapping up in a plush robe. My obsession with robes makes it difficult for me to have a favorite, but they all get their fair usage!

From short & silky satins to floor-length cozy chenilles, there’s a robe that will suit your mood! Do you have a go-to robe for lazy lounging days?

Happy Feet!

During the Christmas break I finally found the time to try the popular PedEgg. I had heard so many great things about this product, but have always been skeptical about those “As Seen On TV” products and wondered if they really worked.

Well, all of my skepticism ceased after treating my feet to this callus-curing contraption! After using the PedEgg on my dry, winter-ridden feet, I was able to scratch waddling to the nearest nail salon off of my to-do-list. The tiny stainless (and painless) steel files gently chips away old, dead skin leaving heels super smooth and soft!


PedEgg The Ultimate Foot File – As Seen on TV available at www.walgreens.com for $9.99

Have you ever tried the PedEgg? One lucky winner will win one to kick-start the New Year with callus-free feet! Just leave a comment and a winner will be selected randomly and announced later this week.

New Year, New You?

Well, it’s that time again when everyone makes their New Year’s resolutions. Just like most people, I rarely stick to, or even implement mine after the first few weeks. However, this year I plan on making several beauty and fashion resolutions and actually applying them.

Since I have more black in my closet than Marilyn Manson, I would like to incorporate more colors, patterns, etc. to spice up my otherwise dark wardrobe. In addition, I’d love to get out of my ho-hum hair rut and experiment with a new sexy style or cut. I’m not sure when I’ll actually execute these makeover aspirations, but I desperately want to add some variety to my look within the next twelve months. Wish me luck!

What are some of your resolutions this year? Is it to work out more, spend more time with family, etc? Or do you avoid making resolutions all together? Please share!
