So last night my boyfriend took me to the Arclight in Hollywood to see the infamous film "Across the Universe." Although i had extremely high expectations it didnt fail to meet almost all of them.

Would you be surprised if I tell you that not everything at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in NYC is great? Of course not! I wil not only tell you that some collections were simply NOT suppposed to be allowed on the runway but I will show you some examples. Even the models look a bit confused with the "jogger wonder woman, sock tied around my head" look.

Lacoste, Herrera & Baby Phat: what the f@%! were you thinking?  Call me crazy but, come on! It is true that high end fashion designers with a name have a free-for-all liscence but sometimes, once in a while, some things, just don't make any sense.
What do you think? I say NO.
 

JLo closes NY Fashion Week Spring 2008 with a few thumbs up! 

JustSweet, JLo’s new fashion line introduced earlier this year, presented its Fashion Show at Eye Beam during NY Fashion Week Spring 2008 on Tuesday, September 11. The “JLO by Jennifer Lopez” brand launched in 2001 but was phased out with JustSweet.

JLo staged the surprise JustSweet show, as she took to the catwalk herself at Eyebeam studios after her models wearing a trendy lime green mini-dress from her new fashion line.

She called JustSweet "a fantasy - classic inspiration but with a new, kind of funky spin. Girls who are young are going to wear it… to feel sophisticated, because it does have a chic kind of feeling to it, but people who are older who wear it are going to feel young, flirty and fun. It really has a nice mix." We agree and we like JustSweet being just oneword.

 Ever since I moved to Florida my hair has become a fuzzy puffball. With all this humidity my hair did not have style whatsoever.  For a while I wore my hair in a ponytail (more like a pony fuzz ball), wearing lots bandana or a hat.

I tried many products and none worked.  I was about to give up.  And said to myself,” I am no longer will be able to sport long hair with this type of weather.”

While I was reaching for the scissors while flipping through magazines for short hairstyles, there was an ad for frizz-ease.  I thought for a moment… hmm maybe this product might help.

I put the scissors down and headed out to the store [Wal-Mart].  I bought all the 5-step product system they had at the store. After I headed home and put on the entire product and style my hair, I went out for the ultimate test to see if the product works.

And I got to say it held up pretty well.  My hair was no longer an intentional chia pet hairstyle.  I am very happy that I did not cut my hair that day. Seeing as there was hope for my hair in this humid weather. 

Thank you John Frieda!

  I used to hate lathering lotion on, since it felt so icky to me.  And once upon a time I did not need to use it at all.  All that changed when I moved to Winter Wonderland of Michigan.

My skin started to crack and became so ashy. It was SO embarrassing!  I dreaded putting on lotion—but I could not stand how dry my skin looked.  So I coated myself with Nivea lotion.
My mom kept hearing from across the room “Eww, Eww Eww” and was wondering what I was doing.

With all the hesitation and been totally grossed out every time I lather on lotion, I started getting used to putting it on and notice an improvement to my skin.  

To this day I still use Nivea lotion, because it makes my skin look shiny and feel supple.  No more Eww’s. (Just a little bit)
