Turn Your Short Story into A Film

Hey BeautySweetSpot readers! I thought I’d share this contest with you that Glamour is doing called Reel Moments. It’s a great opportunity for women like you to have a short story turned into a film featuring some of your fave famous actresses.

In the past, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson (my fave) and Demi Moore played lead roles in the films that were developed out of Glamour readers short stories and the films were shown at festivals throughout the US.

I personally don’t think I have a short story for it, but encourage you to enter! The contest ends this week. Visit glamourreelmoments.com to enter and good luck.

Last Giveaway of the Year – Muks Boots

It’s Monday and time to get back to the grind!  I hope you all had happy holidays!  To kick off the last week of the year I’m doing one more giveaway.  Perhaps the best one yet.  No matter where you live or what kind of weather you have everyone can go for a pair of these during the winter season – Muks Boots, $275.

These boots are to die for!  They’re the black studded half muks boots from the Glam Rock Collection, which are a combination of soft suede and rabbit fur with a studded design around the top and on the top edge.  The black wool lining will keep your feet warm and cozy all season long.

In case you’re not familiar, Muks are worn by A-listers like Kate Moss, Beyonce and Kate Hudson.  I’m obsessed with them and can’t wait to gift a pair to one of my readers!

Here’s how to win:

Glamour Women of the Year Awards Highlights

Jeannine Morris, Amber Katz, Polly Blitzer

I may not have been an honoree, but I felt like one! Last night I was honored to attend the 20th anniversary of the Glamour Women of the Year Awards with the fabulous women of L’Oreal Paris.  I was psyched to attend because this years honorees included some of the biggest names including Julia Roberts, Cher, Donatella Versace and Fergie Ferg, but to my surprise I was more impacted by the honorees I’ve never heard of.

After being primped by the L’Oreal glam squad at the Technical Center and slipping into my alldressedup dress, I hit the red carpet with some of the best in beauty, Amber Katz, Polly Blitzer and Dana Oliver.

First, we received the updated media list that announced that Kate Hudson, Oprah, Hilary Swank, Kelly Osbourne, Janet Jackson, Katie Couric and Diane Sawyer were presenting.  Kate Hudson!  For those of you who consistently follow BeautySweetSpot you know she’s my fave actress of all times – and besides Oprah… the only one who didn’t walk the red carpet, but whatever, I’m over it.

The Red Carpet Scoop:

Women are Sexiest at Age 31

Confidence is sexy.  There’s no denying that, but research has proven that the confidence level of women at different ages can make or break their attractiveness.

According to a study, women are most attractive at 31 years-old.  Why?  Because once they get just past the big 3-0, women mature more, rid their insecurities, are well established, still youthful and more confident than ever.  Ever hear of being grown and sexy?  A-listers like Claire Danes, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Kate Hudson prove the study to be true.

With cougars being the term used to describe women 40+ who showcase sexiness and confidence, of course researchers have named the 31-year old set: puma is the term they use.  Pumas  take good care of themselves physically and mentally whether in a relationship or not.  In a survey of 2,000 men and women, 70 percent agreed that confidence was the key factor of attractiveness followed by physical beauty and sense of style.

I’m not a puma yet, but at least I know I have something to look forward to!  What do you think?  Do you agree?

Celebrity Summer Trends

Nicole Richie is absolute favorite A-Lister to date because I love her style, but then there’s Kate Hudson who always looks effortlessly chic.  I always look to the runways and celebs to seek out the latest trends and am lucky enough to get the inside scoop for BeautySweetSpot. Allow me to fill you in on some of the latest celebrity inspired trends for the summer season.

The Smokey Eye

I’ve seen this look backstage at New York Fashion Week and on celebs at red carpet events all over the world.  I like to rock it on Friday nights out in the city and finally conquered it with CoverGirl’s Smokey ShadowBlast. On one end it has a color for your base shadow and the other has a matching shade for your liner and crease.  I simply apply it and smudge it with my fingers.
