Beauty Buzz: Best Kept Secret

By Kirsten|May 3rd, 2012|Beauty Buzz|

Back in March, I was fortunate enough to test out the new line from Kerastase called Cristalliste. It’s been touted as the “best kept secret for long hair” and I’ve gotta say… they weren’t kidding. That’s why I couldn’t possibly keep Cristalliste a secret for long. While, I was open to sharing my latest haircare find, I do have some other secrets. And don’t we all?

Kerastase Cristalliste is now available in salons and online but, I figured I’d give you pretty ladies a chance to divulge your best kept hair secrets for a chance to win some Cristalliste of your own. But first, I will share my best kept hair secrets with you… What kind of friend would I be otherwise?

Now that I’ve shown you mine, it’s time to show me yours.

The nitty gritty: To enter, “like” Kerastase’s Facebook page and leave your best kept hair secret in the comments section of this blog post by Monday, May 14th 2012. Please be sure to include your name and email address (so you can be notified). Three winners will be chosen. Sorry, contest is open to US residents only.

Time to show and tell!

Would You Wednesday: Sisterhood of the Traveling What?

By Kirsten|May 2nd, 2012|Why Did or Why Don't?|

It seems like there are dating sites for just about anything these days. They have sites dedicated to everyone from Christians to Jews to those who are married. If you’ve got a specific interest, there’s a site for it. That is why it is no surprise at all that a new “dating site” called Miss Travel has popped up. Basically, this site is for “attractive” women to get hooked up with “generous” travelers in search of travel companions. Now, wealthy gentlemen looking for pretty young things is nothing new… hello, Millionaire Matchmaker?? And remember that whole “cash for class” college scheme? I’m just wondering where exactly we draw the line? There’s a very fine line between pay to play and possible prostitution.

I mean, I’m in need of a vacation pretty badly, but uh… I think I’ll keep saving my pennies til I can take myself. So what do you think? Would you try out Miss Travel?

Bon voyage!

Smart Is the New Pretty: Until Then

By Kirsten|May 2nd, 2012|Smart Is the New Pretty|

So sorry. Took a little nap yesterday. Okay, maybe just a drive down south to Boca. Either way, it did inhibit my blogging capabilities. The iPhone can do a lot of things, but posting on WordPress via my phone, is a bit tricky. Luckily, I’m here to catch you up on the latest and greatest in what’s happening in the world outside of your cubicle.

So, J.Lo will be debuting her new single via Twitter. Whatever happened to MTV? [Mashable]
Oh, here’s something to shock and awe you. Kanye West has pissed someone off with his newest single, “I Don’t Like.” [Huffington Post]
Speaking of being pissed off… Uh, did you know that neon nail polish is actually illegal in the US? Well, it is and here’s why. [Racked]
This mom would apparently like her daughter to be neon. Or at least somewhat radioactive. [Gawker]
The skin is your largest organ. Are you an organ donor? Facebook aims to spread awareness around organ donation with new timeline feature. [Wired]
What about these leaked pics of the Facebook Messenger app for the iPad? [Mashable]
More of a Skype fan? Well, you should probably read about this security flaw from 2010 that was conveniently overlooked. [WSJ]
Does anyone actually still use a Blackberry? Oh, you do? Sorry. So what do you think about RIM’s keyboardless BlackBerry 10? [Bloomberg]
I know what you’re all thinking, “WhyDid, why don’t you have a book yet?” Well, thanks to this next generation publishing platform, it may become a whole lot easier for blogs to transform into books. [TechCrunch]
Not a blogger, but maybe you have dreams of being the next Lady Gaga? Well, TalentSplash is here to help you out with that. [TechCrunch]
After you’ve become totally famous, you might be curious as to who’s been Googling you. This new website has the answers… [Mashable]
Knowing who’s Googling may prompt you to want to hide some of your social postings. Scrambls can help you out with that. [The Wall]
And on the flipside of that, you may be wanting to translate some of your emails. Gmail has a new feature to allow you to do that. [Huffington Post]
And since I’ll be bidding Florida adieu this afternoon, how about 10 tech innovations that have streamlined flying? Btw, when is that whole teleporter thing happening? [Mashable]

Until next time.

Setting the Mood: On a Roll

By Kirsten|April 30th, 2012|Setting the Mood|

(You may want to go ahead and turn up this past weekend’s playlist to feel the full effect of this installment of Setting the Mood).

Planning a party for a friend is a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. While there are lots of intricate details like finding the perfect venue, picking a theme, cupcakes or cake?, and making sure there are plenty of party props, one of the most difficult tasks may be figuring out what to wear. While doing some research on what exactly made the 70’s and disco era tick, I found that perhaps I showed up during the wrong decade. With an excess of sparkle and shimmer and an overall sense of carefree ease, these groovy gals really had it figured out. Throw in some rollerskates and feathered hair a la Farrah Fawcett and you’re all set.

shorts: Costume Dept. The Vintage Shorts, $44, wedges: Chica Chola Platform Wedge, $160, dress:Hale Bob Studio 54 Sequin Dress, $139.99

You can ring my bell.

Weekend Playlist: Get Down Tonight

By Kirsten|April 28th, 2012|Weekend Playlist|

Here’s a question: What better way to celebrate a birthday than with a 70’s disco roller skating party? Answer: There is no better way. My favorite guest DJ and all around crafty lady, Katie (aka the best friend a girl could ask for), is celebrating her golden birthday this weekend. No, Kim, that’s nothing even remotely close to a golden shower. A golden birthday is when you turn your age, say 22, on the day, the 22nd. Get it?

So, while we are combing out our afros and stretching out our leotards, we’ll be getting in the mood with this 70’s inspired playlist. And probably drinking a little prosecco too.

Send Katie a little birthday love while you’re at it.

xx,
