How do they CREW it?

I will give Lauren the credit on starting the trend in our family of wearing big necklaces. She started wearing Issy Salomon and DANNIJO necklaces a few years ago and now the trend has gone to the masses.  You know it’s a trend when J.Crew jumps on the bandwagon.

Ahhh J.Crew…. they really know how to do it right. Mickey Drexler is a genius and with his army of mini-geniuses, Jenna Lyons and Marissa Webb, just to name a few, he has done it once again in jewelry.  Megan is her name and she is the jewelry designer for this mega brand. I bought the most amazing bejeweled necklace last week.  The attention to detail and vintage look of the piece allows it to be worn with just about anything from a denim shirt to a black dress. Most pieces are under $200 but they look like they’re worth thousands. A definite must for holiday shopping!

Protect your Pets

We all know to wear our sunscreen, but what about your pet? The truth is pets can get sunburned too especially if they have pink skin that is exposed. Some pets have pink skin on their nose, ears or belly and need to be protected against the sun.  Make sure you choose a non-toxic sunscreen approved for animals because they may ingest some when licking it off their skin.  Try Epi-Pet Sun Protector Sunscreen at www.epi-pet.com. According to Natural Health Magazine white cats are the most susceptible to skin cancer, so make sure to keep them inside when the sun is strong and always away from direct sun.

Just Wipe it!

Next time you go to the gym there is no need to wash your face! Just wipe it! Everyone knows that sweating with makeup on is a no no. Now all you have to do is swipe it clean with a disposable
wipe. There are so many different types of wipes on the market now that we sent our Beauty Match skincare junkie out to pick her two favorites. The best bang for your buck is an exfoliating wipe by St. Ives for $5 called St. Ives Scrub-Free Exfoliating Pads! These wipes are soaked in lactic acid so they help remove dead skin cells and dirt! Yes to Cucumbers-Facial Towelettes are mild and get your skin super clean and for $6 you can’t go wrong!
