EYES: REDUCE PUFFINESS IN 15 MINS...

Hate when people ask you if you're tired, even though you got your 8 hours and feel great?  Hate when you see pictures of yourself and wonder where your eyes disappeared to?  The only bags you should have are Louis Vuitton honey!!  Read my plan.

                             What you need:  2 metal spoons, 1 cucumber, a  sofa(to lie down on silly), an egg timer.

                 What to do:  Refrigerate 2 spoons and the cucumber (toward the back of the fridge so it gets good and chilled, NEVER in the freezer!!), slice 2 pieces of cucumber app. 1 inch thick each.  Make sure your eye area is clean and free from all eye creams, serums, etc.  Gently place each slice over each eye, then place the chilled spoons on top of the slices, and hold in place.  You may want to set an egg timer before you put the items on.  You need to lie back(head elevated please) and relax for 15 mins.  And then, remove slices, eat them if you are hungry(no calories,LOL) .  You should repeat this every day for a week, if you can.  OK reality check :Most of you will use this as an emergency fix, and that's OK.  There is an actual chemical in the cucumber that can temporarily change the look and puffiness of the delicate eye area 

CUCUMBER EXTRACT - The juice extracted from the
vegetable is mildly astringent, yet soothing and can help reduce puffiness of the skin.Cucumber also has a slight bleaching action which aids in removing dead skin cells.

Things to consider:  Reduce your sodium intake!!  Good idea anyway.

Eat some sprigs of parsley before bed.  Parsley has a mild diuretic effect, and can help flush excess sodium and toxins.

NEVER USE HEMORRHOID CREAM, EVER. I DON'T CARE WHAT MAGAZINE SAID WHAT ABOUT WHICH MODEL,ETC. It's for one thing only.  It contains yeast and shark liver oil, and can and often does have the reverse effect.  It can actually puff you out more.  The skin around our eyes is thin and delicate, so don't put your face moisturizer around there either.  Only products for the eye area belong around the eye.  By Ilan Kwittken

Arianna Huffington..Good Make-over..she's more than a pretty face

Arianna Huffington: I don't have to tell you which pic is Before and which is After, and that just stresses my point with regard to looking your best. The Huffington Post, a terrific blog to check daily, will give you a surprisingly broad view of many subjects.  We recommend it .   It offers a [real] journalistic view  of a range of topics.  Check out my friend Shari Albert's hilarious essay.  Shari is a very talented actress and singer(and writer), her view of dating and the world around her will make you want to meet her for coffee!  Check out this great vid.  It's Arianna Huffington telling her immigrant story and how she got her inspiration from her mother!!

Iman and Wedding Make-up For Women of Color

Iman has a wonderful make-up line that deserves mention.  She has created a fantastic variety of colors and textures and the price is right. Having said that, women of color have been so left out when it comes to make-up.   When I worked for Estee Lauder as a resident make-up artist by day, and actor by night, I was horrified by the limited colors of foundation.    I had to mix at least 3 colors in order to find the right shade, and even then I had to cut it with oil-free moisturizer.  Enough about me.  On to the video!!  Read on(please)

Now if you are getting married..and you are a woman of color.. and you need a little guidance in terms of foundation, check out this vid.  Thank goodness women of color now have options in terms of types of foundation, and more shades to choose from.  Gone are the heavy, ashy tones, or the orangey reflection that gave make-up a bad name(not to mention how it made your white blouse look at the collar).

American Apparel.. you decide, I say no

American Apparel is a controversial company which seems to thrive on negative publicity.  It's founder and CEO- Dove Charney, has had many sexual harrasment suits against him.  If you visit the site or any of his stores, you'll see the "kitty-porn" theme(OK, more like teen-age porn).  I find it gross and a  huge turn-off.  More importantly, I find these over priced garments so cheaply made. The seam work is as crooked as the Pres. of Iran.  You decide.  Above was a spy cam adventure.

Clay Aiken..Or is it Liza Minnelli?

This video is from opening night, Feb. 9,2008

Oh My Gosh!! It really is Clay Aiken singing the hits of Liza Minnelli.  Rumor has it he's going to play Liza in a new Broadway show. Well, no.  He is now in Spamalot.  And we wish him the best.  He's a great performer/singer.  That doesn't mean we can't poke fun at him, does it??
