Miranda’s Sexy New Style

I would never normally put Sex and the City’s Miranda and the word sexy in the same sentence until today.  However, today I’m going to say that Cynthia Nixon is looking pretty damn sexy with her new ‘do.

The star sported extensions at the premiere of Sex and the City 2 and I think she got it right.  They’re perfectly color matched and and at a good length for her age.

#1 Lip Gloss in America

The average American women goes through 1-2 tubes of lip gloss per month.  And if it’s her favorite lip gloss, you know she’s scraping the case.  But let’s be honest, we all have way more than 2 tubes of lip gloss on hand at all times.  I have one in each bag, probably eight on my dresser, one at my desk, a few in my vanity, not to mention the whole basket of it that’s waiting for me to try out in my closet.

Everyone has their favorite, some for color, some for texuture, some for glossiness, but I’m proud to announce America’s #1 lip gloss: Avon Glazewear.  My favorite color is Iced Pink Rose Glace, but there are so many different options, you’ll definitely find one to fall in love with.  The best part, they’re super inexpensive so if you find your shade, you can purchase several to meet the needs of all of your clutches.

Latest Self Tanner Obsession

I’m a huge self tanner snob. Having tried almost all of them, liking a handful, but loving only a very select few I have to dish about my latest fave: Lancome Flash Bronzer Tinted Anti-Age Self-Tanning Face Lotion SPF 15.

I’ve always been a fan of Lancome self tanners because they’re tinted so you can see where you’re applying them and they leave you with a natural looking tan that develops in less than a half hour.  It’s not a gradual self tanner (like Jergens that you apply every day as your moisturizer), but it is buildable so after three days you can self tan again to get darker.  The color also fades gracefully.

Who Are You in Sex and the City 2

How excited are you? Sex and the City 2 has arrived!  Tonight, I get to take my best friend to a private, advanced screening of the film thanks to Sarah Jessica Parker’s new fragrance SJP NYC. Like many of you I’ve been a SATC fan since Carrie used to talk to the camera (ew) and when the first movie came out, my friends and I brought a bottle of wine and Magnolia cupcakes into the theater to celebrate.

Sex and the City nailed it by creating their characters.  In every group of BFF’s there’s always an innocent princess, seductress, hopeless romantic and sarcastic downer.  So which one are you?  I’ve always been the Carrie in my groups.  However, I have a different theory about formula of the characters…

Advice from a Top Nutritionist

Last week I met with nutritionist, Dara Godfrey, and got to pick her brain.  I’m a huge foodie, but am also obsessed with working out and wellness.  It was great to sit down with Dara and get some advice not only on what to eat, but more importantly on how to eat it.  Allow me to share:

“If you eat every three to four hours throughout the day it will prevent you from over eating,” stated Dara.  ”Unless of course, you’re not hungry.”

Try having three meals and two snacks in between per day. Depending on your needs (every one’s different), meals can be between 350-500 calories each and snacks can be almost 200. Dara’s not huge on counting calories and believes you should enjoy your food, but know your portions.  (That’s why I love her!)
