Peek into the celebrity swag bags at the Academy Awards
I heard a rumor that the Academy Awards were last night. I wouldn't know, since ABC decided to power off for Comcast customers, my tee vee provider. I then heard a rumor that they decided to power us all back up midway through the Oscar-cast, but by then I was happily watching a Netflix On Demand Scooby Doo movie. What I do know, however, is [...]
Product review: Sonya Dakar Drying Potion (in case of emergency)
Remember how I told you about my deplorable face washing situation a few week ago? Well, I am now paying the piper and breaking out.

For the past five weeks, I have woken up with a headache the day after [...]
I am using Madonna's vibrator

My pilates studio is now offering Power Plate sessions, and at a fraction of the cost of my usual pilates training, I decided to give it a whirl. The idea is that you work out while on this contraption that uses whole body vibration, causing your muscles to continually work [...]
The new face of Cover Girl: Ellen DeGeneres
How cool is this? Ellen DeGeneres is the new spokesmodel for Cover Girl. Easy, breezy, beautiful indeed! A big kudos for Cover Girl for making this inspired choice. I am generally pretty meh on celebrity cosmetic endorsements. The cosmetics industry loves their celebrities and, with very few exceptions, the large, most visible [...]
