Apply Your Happy Face

Ami AngelowiczApril 27, 2012 //

Applying a nice glow to the apples of your cheeks may make you feel more confident, but this Physician’s Formula Happy Booster blush claims to actually improve your mood. This skin perfecting glow powder is infused with a blend of Euphoryl, a natural plant extract which has been shown to promote a feeling of happiness by mimicking the effect of endorphins, plus it also protects skin from environmental stress. And the sweet scent of violet will make each application a joyful experience. So not only will this blush make you happier, it will improve your skin’s mood as well. Its vibrant mix of color will give you a healthy glow and its reflective pearls will make your outer radiance shine just as brightly as within.

The Sound Of Music

Jessica WakemanApril 26, 2012 //

‘Tis the season for outdoor parties and everyone knows it’s music that makes a bash. C. Wonder’s portable speakers plug into phones and computers to amplify your tunes and are small enough to carry inside a purse. Plus, the funky geometric patterns in a variety of colors will have everyone coveting your chic style. Now, crank the music up — I can still hear the sound of my own thoughts.

Ladies, it’s time to talk about something not very pretty: your feet. Specifically, your feet after a winter spent in socks and shoes. If you’re like me, your feet are probably feeling pretty dry, cracked and scaly — to the point that you’re too embarrassed to even get a pedicure. But there’s a solution to the suckitude: Atopalm’s Foot and Heel Balm will get your feetsies in shape and ready for spring without costing you an arm and a leg. The key is its MLE technology, which somehow harnesses the skin’s natural moisture and leaves your feet feeling hydrated but NOT greasy. We recommend that you also use it on your cracked and scaly elbows, too. Wish the winter skin away and get ready for spring with this stuff. Your feet will thank you for it. [$18, Atopalm]

Come summer, there are only two places you’ll find me on the weekend — laying on the beach in Long Island or laying on my rooftop. Basking in the sun, soaking up that Vitamin D — always with a high SPF! — is something I’ve very serious about and comfort is key. That’s why I basically lost my mind when I came across the Ostrich 3-in-1 beach chair, which offers three possible reclining positions. Most importantly, it has a frickin’ hole for your face so you can lay on your stomach and read. And! It’s actually comfortable and easy to tote around. I’m in love. This is going to be the best summer ever. [$88.99, BeachChairs.com]

As I’ve mentioned about a billion times before, I’m totally obsessed with everything British, so when I saw these candy bars–which combine traditional British pudding flavors, chocolate, and a colorful Union Jack design–I was sold. Crafted in honor of Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee, they’re swirled with fun ingredients like toffee, strawberry, white chocolate, and meringue. Sounds bloody delicious, right? I fancy the whole set.

Cushion The Blow Of Your Little White Dating Lie

Ami AngelowiczApril 20, 2012 //

I think the person who made this pillow has been spying on me. For some reason, I seem to attract a lot of men who love the outdoors. Me? Not so much. I don’t like sleeping in a tent. I don’t want to spend more time with bears, bugs and snakes. I don’t want to get used to going to the bathroom behind a tree and wiping with leaves. I refuse. But there have been a few times in the courtship process that I slightly exaggerated how much I would be “into going camping sometime.” Thats BS. I’ll never go camping. My approved outdoorsy activities include short bike rides, picnics in Central Park and tanning at the beach. That’s it. I need to put this pillow on my bed to soften the blow. That way, Bear Grylls will know who he’s really getting into bed with. An indoor girl. Oh, and this pillow is eco friendly, so at least I can keep pretending to be environmentally conscious.

The Last Piece Of Jewelry You Will Ever Need

Sophie LeonApril 19, 2012 //

I am often annoyed that in the year 2012 we still don’t have every day access to flying cars and teleportation devices. It is moments like this, when I find a genius product that is innovative and useful, that I regain my faith in the human race. The KLIK KLIK jewelry uses magnetic pieces to allow you to sculpt your own pieces! That means a simple kit can transform into hundreds of necklaces, bracelets, and rings! If a necklace isn’t the right length, adjust it!  If you feel like being bold, do it! Not very creative? Don’t worry they have suggestions for you. [$75, KLIK KLIK]

Usually, I’d run away screaming from anything sporting a tie-dye pattern on it. But these Messeca Tie-Dye Coraline Platform Wedge happen to hit the sweet spot. They’re working the tie-dye hippie thing, sure, but in a decidedly high fashion way. The sleek wedge heel offsets any crunchy, hacky sack vibe, and the bright, cheery color makes these shoes the perfect statement piece for spring. I’m into them, just don’t expect to see me dancing around in any patchwork bellbottoms anytime soon. [$189, Urban Outfitters]

I Brake For Yard Sales book photo

Spring is here and that means yard sale season is upon us. Think that rummaging through your neighbors’ bargain-priced junk sounds like the pits? Think again. Yard sales (and their classy older sister, estate sales) are the place to score vintage clothes, gently used books, and fab furniture that just needs a fresh coat of paint. I thought Saturday morning yard sale scrounges were my little secret, but it turns out “Good Morning America” correspondent Lara Spencer is a bargain maven. I Brake For Yard Sales: and Flea Markets, Thrift Shops, Auctions and the Occasional Dumpster is her ode to thrift shopping and filled with her tips and tricks. (Sharp elbows for nudging out those greedy eBay re-sellers not included!) [$14.50, Amazon.com]

I love painting my nails. Removing my nail polish? Not so much. I hate the feeling of defeat as I scrub off a once-pristine manicure, and I really, really hate the gross chemical smell of most nail polish removers. That’s where Ciate’s white chocolate nail polish remover comes in. Yep, you read that right: it’s white chocolate-scented, enriched with vitamin E to nourish your skin, and easily removes caked-on polish. And if all that wasn’t enough, the bottle is freakin’ adorable. [$18, Beauty Bay]
