Making Over America with Trinny and Susannah: Find the green dress!
I’ve received comments and emails concerning the stunning emerald green dress that the first makeover recipient, Denise, wore to her surprise wedding on the first episode of TLC’s Making Over America with Trinny and Susannah. The dress had a fabulous cut for nearly any figure. It gives a bit of oomph to a slender woman, and certainly hugs in all of the right places for a curvy gal. If anyone knows who made the dress, or if Denise herself happens… More »

My Date With Mary Kay: Satin Lips Mask
I will admit – when I was first invited to a Mary Kay night, I was unsure how things would go. I tend to experiment with new products in the quiet of my own bathroom…so the thought of washing my face and trying out new moisturizers with three other girls was more than a little daunting. Fortunately, I knew the three other girls trying out Mary Kay well enough to be (mostly) at ease. Total comfort only became… More »
Get Glowing Skin Now
Every time I hear about another skin care product promising to give your skin a youthful boost and fill out all of those lines, each with their own story, I am so there. I work hard everyday to defy the signs of aging because honestly, I am not ready to go under the knife. Many women at my age have, but I am holding off for as long as I can.
Thanks to shows like NipTuck that are so explicit in… More »

I love going to the spa to have a manicure and a pedicure. If I could do it every single weekend, I would.
But at times like these, especially with how economy is, going to the spa every single weekend is quite sinful.
So, the next best thing is just have a do-it yourself manicure and pedicure! Of course, there’s always the fast-dry nail coat polish but having a really cute Blow Monkey Nail Dryer can help speed up the process!
Again, why… More »
Keep Crumbs Away With The Mini-Vacuum Friends!
I am in desperate need of a mini-vacuum but all I’ve seen so far are ugly-looking ones!
This by far is the cutest mini-vacuum a Gadgenista can tote around to keep her keyboard crumb and dust-free. It’s not USB powered, though, so you’ll be needing 2 AA batteries.
Choice of animal could be better, haha. Uhm, pig? Elephant? Why not a cute little kitty, or even a puppy?
Price: $20
