Neon Fun

When I was in middle school, I rocked out the neon. I even matched my neon orange shirt to some crazy bright orange slouchy socks. As I grew older, I felt like neon had the stigma of being too loud and tacky. I gravitate toward bright colors, and I am especially fond of vibrant, intense hues for sneakers. So I am extremely happy that neon is way back in!

Dermablend Review

I had an audition where they wanted to see feet.  I have two star tattoos on my right foot that I wanted to cover up, and my agent's assistant raved to me about a product called Dermablend.

Macy's is a great place to test out Dermablend; the counter has a salesperson who can help you apply it and pick out the correct shades.

My agent's assistant was talking specifically about the Dermablend Leg & Body Cover, which is $27 at Macy's.  I also ended up buying the Leg & Body Tattoo Primer ($25) and the Setting Powder ($23).

Review: Oil of Olay Age Defying Body Wash

I am a huge fan of Oil of Olay products, especially their Regenerist line.

So I gladly picked up an Oil of Olay Age Defying Body Wash during one of my whirlwind Target shopping trips (I live in Manhattan, so I get really giddy when I make the rare trip to the Brooklyn one).

First of all, I was impressed by the gargantuan 23.6 oz. container.  The product boasts of containing two times the amount of cleansers and moisturizers - and 25% less water - than the top-selling body wash.  And it is made from a gentle soap-free formula.

A Non-Sticky Solution: Dissolvable Labels

You're looking in your freezer for the chicken stock you made last week.  But after a torturous time rummaging through all the plastic bins and baggies, you finally find it in Tupperware labeled..."pesto sauce"?

Oh, that's right. You hate dealing with peeling off the old, stupid stickers that don't entirely come off containers so you got lazy.

That's no longer a problem with dissolvable labels!

Sephora, You Really Love Me

I'm an avid fan of Sephora's colorful emails advertising their tempting beauty products...which I then usually buy at Amazon for cheaper.

Besides the constant reminders of makeup that I shouldn't be purchasing, being a Sephora Beauty Insider has its perks.  One of them being that you receive a FREE birthday gift from Sephora.

Rain, Rain, Don't Go Away...

This is what I imagine the bustling city to be like on this rainy night. But I wouldn't know. I actually haven't stepped outside the apartment all day. While friends are off gallivanting around town and experiencing the excitement of first dates, I smile inwardly as I stuff my face with Trader Joe's cheese puffs.

Usually, my restless little soul would be scratching at the door for an opportunity to leave the place. Even a grocery store run to know that I had at least inhaled some of the city air today. Normally, I would feel ridden with guilt, and I'd chastise myself for being so lazy. Yet, today is so different. I can't quite put my finger on it.

Zaggfolio vs Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Case for the new iPad

With my recent possession of an iPad, I was researching which keyboard case to purchase.  Luckily, Best Buy has an AWESOME return policy in which you can try out something and return it within 30 days without penalty or restocking fee.

It came down to two choices: the Zaggfolio and the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard.  They are both retailed for about $99.

Here is the video I made regarding my experience with both.  My first tech review-ish kind of thing.
