Not one to dictate how you should dress, but this skirt was so magnificent, I just thought I would show you a picture of it. It currently sleeps in England.
Etsy seller Irmaandcoquette is selling the skirt for next to nothing.
I'd quite like to wear this skirt whilst cooking a goat cheese omelet or watching TV. Scooting around downtown. Just about anywhere. Well, don't mind me....
My exercise-a-thon due for Monday did not happen. But procrastination is no longer an option.
Girls, I had a totally totally decent reason for skipping exercise. I had some important writing to get done. When the article is printed, I'll show the link here and then, you'll take a deep breathe in and out and understand. Thank you for your patience.
In the meantime, Charlotte's Spring Mini-Makover is still in full swing. I will be trotting soon to the Park Slope Food Coop, where I will buy lots of fruits and vegetables for my belly. Cue visual to the left.
Product Recommendation: MAC NC20 Foundation
While Origins mineral powder is still my go-to foundation, MAC foundation in shade NC20 is ace too. Popped into the MAC makeup shop in Grand Central Station the other day and slapped it onto my face. Of course, I just love the way it sits on your skin. But I also like how I can get it onto my face at warp speed compared to mineral makeup.
Oh yes, a homeless guy told me I was "looking fine." (Dude, if I had a boyfriend, I'd put his assessment here instead. Bear with me.)
Gotta skedaddle before sundown. Also, I might go out on a date or two this weekend. Weird, huh? What's that you say? Boys are gross? Honey, suck in your stomach and put on some color? Um, it's time for my brain to stop talking so much. Sassy thing. Wish me luck.
Maybe I am a total diva anticipating my "look" before even beginning an exercise regimen. Sue me.
I think matte lipstick is the way to go, but in a very neutral tone. Historically, I have noticed that joggers in Brooklyn do not wear lipstick. That's fine if you're Jodie Foster. Clarice Starling had loads of style. But as for me, I will be wearing Revlon lipstick, light powder and some fearsome ambition.
Neutral and matte. Nothing too red. No need to be the "Lady Gaga" of Prospect Park.
Wise Lady Tip: For the same reason that I refuse to wear stilettos in the evening, I think exercising outside after dark is unwise. Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel: My exercise routine begins Monday. Expect an update the same day, unless I faint/die/get tangled in a tree/never come home again.
I've owned Body Time Chamomile Lavender Moisturizing Face Cream for more than nine months, and can't find a better moisturizer.
If I was more disciplined, I would apply this moisturizer every day because it fixes almost every skin problem, including dryness, redness and breakouts.
It is more useful than Google and more faithful than any boyfriend. Don't call me crazy until you try it!
Extra Words of Wisdom: If you use a product like Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion or Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream already, give this one a roll.
I've always been a fan of Heather Graham. But my eternal adoration of Graham has become a moral issue as well. Yes, one of Hollywood's ditziest, blondest and cutest actresses has been kind of on the DL in recent years, but she hasn't lost any of her charms. If you didn't catch this yesterday, Heather Graham's bad, beautiful self has resurfaced in a hi-larious Moveon.org commercial supporting, you guessed it, healthcare. She is looking out for us ladies (and gentleman)!
If you enjoy this commercial, you may also like 'Cake,' one of the awesomest movies ever. It's about an editor who discovers love and happiness while working for a bridal magazine.
Also On My List of Very Good Things: Origins Multi-Grain Makeup
Are you on this boat already, divas? Because you should be.
In a moment of utter fatigue, I hurled myself at the Origins makeup counter and let the knowledgeable people there fix my beleaguered-as-heck face. And I now use Origins multi-grain powder makeup almost every day.
The Down-Low: It provides medium-to-light coverage and feels smooth on the skin. Because I purchased the powder form, the Origins lady even gave me a free, high quality makeup brush. (FTC note: I paid for this product.) Unlike other mineral makeup lines, which sometimes do irritate skin and even cause breakouts, this makeup contains soothing ingredients like oatmeal and rice flour. My skin, as I have mentioned many times, is sensitive. The Origins Multi-Grain makeup also feels light against my skin. It's almost not like wearing anything all. And better yet, it's paraben-free.
Origins says 78% saw an improvement in their skin from using this product. Count me in for that statistic.
Grade: A
But now that I've gotten all that off my chest, what products are making you rapturous? Talk to me!
