Britney Brunette again...what do you think??


Well it worries me just a bit the Brit went back to Brunette...nothing wrong with Brunette's...I'm a Brunette and proud of it. But usually when Brit goes Brunette it either means she is prego again or she is going crazy! I hope neither...hopefully she just wanted a change. I still love her either way! What do you think of Brit's new do???

Latisse Eyelash treatment...



I keep hearing all this buzz about the new eyelash treatments that claim to help the growth of your eyes lashes...no extensions necessary! They are quite pricey which does make me a bit hesitant to try it but I guess it really could be worth it in the long run. Of course celebs are already all over this new product especially Lattise.

" Jenny McCarthy is a fan of Lattise, the new FDA approved eyelash treatment which makes your lashes 25% longer, 106% fuller and 18% darker in 16 weeks. The treatment costs about $120 for a 30 day supply, but in the end it can save you on expensive mascaras! Lattise is only available through a prescription and it’s even endorsed by Celebrity eyebrow expert, Anastasia."

Checkout their website, for amazing before and after results.

Pump up the volume for a max burn...


The only way I can put in an effective sweat session is if I have my I-pod blaring with all my favorite jams ;)

Well according to studies I'm not the only one this works for...

"Listening to music boosts your endurance...When subjects listened to upbeat music, they exercised 15% longer than when they sweated in silence. Synchronizing with tunes may stimulate euphoria-inducing endorphins and interfere with body signals that communicate fatigue and discomfort to the brain..."

Madonna's sexy work out secrets...


I have mentioned before that Madonna has quite the body for a 50 year old!! I mean she has quite the body for any age...she beats out most 20 somethings!! So to make sure her dance crew for her sticky and sweet tour can keep up with her she sets them up with a trainer to copy some of her favorite work out moves. Here is a peak at some...

1. Resistance Bands - use instead of weights since they are great for traveling. Do five sets of 10-15 reps.

2. Push-ups - 250 push ups a day (Wow 250 a day!! No wonder her arms look like that!!)

3. Chest Press - 5 sets of 5-10

4. Jump Rope - 1 minute on, 1 minute off to elevate heart rate and burn calories.

5. Knee-Highs- Jog in place, lifting your knees as high as possible. Do 10 minute sets, one minute on, one minute off.

Keep Mascara FRESH!


If your mascara thickens when it reaches the end of the tube just place the closed tube in some warm water. This will help to make the mascara thinner. Never add water to the tube because bacteria can form.

The Hills Audrina Patridge Secrets to Great Skin...


Audrina says " No matter how tired I am I always wash my face and moisturize!"

"Going to bed with makeup on, or without washing your face will lead to breakouts and premature aging. If you’re in a pinch you can keep makeup remover wipes in your purse or next to your bed to help remove makeup before getting some Zzzz’s." ~ Celebrity Beauty Buzz

Personally I can be very lazy when it comes to taking my make up off late night... especially after a few glasses of wine and a long night out with friends! My go to solution is just like they said make up wipes! I keep a travel pack in my purse and I always have a full pack stashed in my bathroom. They are so convenient and easy to use...you can even take off your make up while laying in bed! Trust me I have done that many times :)
