Lickity split

Sheep recently posted a plea to help her with her split ends... I've been there, Sheep! Split ends are one of the worst things in the world, in my opinion. Well, not really (there's...

Tennis Anyone?

Passing notes

All too often, I'm writing a thank you note to a friend only to find that I can't find the matching envelope. Argh! That's exactly why Jill Bliss' flower notecard book is so genius!...

Fruit punch

I am a pretty serious lip balm critic. I mean, it's my job! So many out there are just too waxy, too scented, too sticky, etc... But I have to say, I think Softlips...

Hope springs eternal

Perhaps I'm a glass-half-full type of person but I love entering contests. Especially when the contest in question entails a trip to my favorite city (besides NY, of course), Paris! Enter at thebodyshop.com for an...

Baby soft

Chelsea, I've never heard of anyone using baby wash for sensitive facial skin (mostly I hear of people using Cetaphil, etc). But it's a great idea! I asked Dr. Bradford Katchen (who kindly answered...

Despite a crazy rain shower we had last night (that resulted in NYC's subways all FLOODING), it is still so sweltering in the city! Which is why I'm glad Emptyenvelope also asked the question,...

Blonde on Blonde

If you're like me, then watching Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde is a near religious experience. Obviously once the musical came out I was on it. Matrix, which is part sponsor in the show,...
