May 19th, 2010 // Girl Gadgets

I love listening to electronic music all day while I work and play so naturally I’m digging these these trendy new headphones found at Urban Outfitters.

Urbanears Platton Headphones come in a range of colors (I’m loving the seafoam-green-esque shade pictured sixth below) and has the classic look that makes us reminisce of days past before the invent of teeny earbuds. The sizing is adjustable and the headphones fold down to around fist-size for easy portability. The Platton Headphones even have an extra plug on the earbud for a friend to plug in their own headphones and tune into what you’re listening to. “You have to hear this sick bassline…”

May 7th, 2010 // Home & Lifestyle

I’m doing a sushi lunch today and I thought I’d share with you some basic sushi-eating etiquette. These tips are more for dining at a nicer sushi bar or restaurant, so if you’re doing casual dining or takeout, feel free to do what you like and leave the rest.

For instance, did you know that pickled ginger is intended as more of a palate-cleanser than a sashimi topping? Use this guide to brush up on your sushi dining etiquette:

I’m Trying the Sensa Weight Loss System – Who’s With Me?

May 3rd, 2010 // Diet Tips

Well, ladies, I’ve been working on getting my body beach-ready. I realized that it doesn’t take much work to get me in shape (thank God for my genes), but simply that I eat too much! I’m completely drunk on lifestyle and dine out more times a week than anyone should.

I decided to finally try out the Sensa Weight-Loss system that I’ve heard so much about. I actually had the pleasure of hearing Sensa founder Dr. Alan Hirsch speak in LA a couple years ago, and he has some pretty interesting philosophy about smell/taste relationships along with studies to back it up. I’m on the bandwagon!

“Fear of Bloating” in Las Vegas (Health Update)

March 24th, 2010 // Beauty Diary, Diet Tips

Do you like my title? If you love Johnny Depp I’m sure you do :)

This post, aptly titled, is about probably the biggest beauty dilemma I’ve faced during my vacation: bloating! It’s been awful. Foods that I could normally get away with — including anything dairy or higher in sodium — now cause me to bloat something terrible for the entire day. I think it has something to do with the lack of humidity out here, and my body feeling the lack of moisture. So what does it do? Retain water (pretty much clinging to it for dear life).

Fortunately I’ve found some ways to counteract bloating, and I wanted to share them with you.

Godiva Chocolate Strawberry Rose Scented Candle

February 1st, 2010 // Home

The days leading up to Valentine’s Day are among my favorite times of year. I love to redecorate my living space with colors of passion and scents of love and have even been known to theme my makeup looks around the season. Thus, I am doing a mini marathon of love-themed product reviews to get you excited about what this month may hold for you in terms of passion, friendships, and self-pampering!

For some home or office deliciousness, add a fragrant candle to the mix that reminds you of love. Right now I’m loving Godiva Chocolate Strawberry Rose Candle (a Godiva Valentine Candle). It will scent your space without even having to light it! Chocolate Strawberry Rose Candle smells just as it sounds — a delicious medley of warm, chocolate-dipped strawberries and a sweet bouquet of roses. The sensory indulgence is just enough to keep you in a sweet mood.

You’d think the continuous smell of chocolate would get your taste buds stirring, but actually, the strawberry scent provides a nice balancing act, as strawberry is a natural appetite suppressant. Lovely!

The burn time for this 7oz candle is 50 hours. You can order Godiva Chocolate Strawberry Rose Candle for $22.50 at CandleLuxury.com.
