The Best $100 Ever Spent, Plus WIN Katy Perry Tickets!

After a spontaneously fun and relaxing weekend with Schick in Miami, they dared me to pamper myself for a full day (I know what you’re thinking, what kind of dare is that, but wait for it…) unplugged! No tweeting my manicure polish shade, catching up with my bestie on the phone during my pedi or obsessively checking my iPhone for that big email I’ve been waiting for.

I felt like I was paralyzed. My day of pampering was more like two and a half hours and included a mani and pedi plus and extra ten minute foot massage and twenty minute back massage while my nails dried, of course (who has patience to sit under the drier).

It made me realize that I never take the time out to relax and enjoy these treatments that I get weekly. Instead they always feel more like a chore. Keeping my phone in my bag and laptop in my apartment, I flipped through weeklies and zoned out. It was awesome!

I dare you to take the challenge!  Plus, I’M GIVING AWAY KATY PERRY TICKETS!

Spontaneity Leads to the Unexpected, Bring It On!

It’s amazing what you’ll discover about yourself when you step out of your comfort zone.  Me – a super detailed, anally organized, to-the-minute type of girl who structures her freelance lifestyle to the T so she doesn’t end up tumbling like a rolling stone.  The new me – still a super detailed, anally organized, structured girl who isn’t afraid to be spontaneous.

This past weekend I went on a press trip to Miami with Schick and the theme of the weekend was “Dare to be Spontaneous.”  My “detailed” itinerary for the three day trip left out all activities and times of obligation and only included our flights, hotel and car service information.  I took on the challenge of this go-with-the-flow lifestyle, and packed a few rompers and bikinis.

My Top Beauty Buys

Being in the world of beauty has been far from boring.  Every day I receive packages of new products to try, test and share with you.  I receive emails, tweets and facebook messages from friends and fans (even guys) asking questions about their skin concerns and what I’m using.  So I decided to dedicate a post to share some of the products I’m using right now.  Even though this may seem like a lot to you, this isn’t even half!

Fragrance: Pure DKNY

Makeup: Mally High Shine Liquid Lipstick Pens in Super Natural, MAC Zoom Lash Mascara,Nars Blush in Orgasm

Skincare: ROC Multi Correxion Skin Perfecting System, Mario Badescu Enzyme Revitalizing Mask

Deadline: Miami

I have exactly five weeks until my plane touches down in South Beach and guess what?  I’m taking you along on the journey through fitness with me.  Five weeks is just enough time to make sure I’m looking right in a bikini.  God knows I would never go to Miami with flab!  And who knows… maybe my posts will encourage you to start moving too!

My silky, smooth legs and I will be joining the Schick team on a mini vaca in mid July and you know since the razor brand is all about being hair free everywhere (come on, you’ve seen the TrimStyle commercials) I’m sure we’ll all be in the tiniest bikinis!  However, I’m not fretting (yet), because they enlisted Celebrity Trainer Gina Lombardi to be our trainers for the next month (well, virtual trainers).

My first goal: to get a pedometer.  Even though I work out on the regular, I think I’ll listen to her here.  Seeing my steps in numbers may encourage me to keep going and help challenge me  to take my run a bit further.
