In the beginning of the summer when the beauty editors of Self mag asked me if I'd be interested in being featured in their September I told them they were crazy for even asking! Honored, I jumped at the opportunity and a few weeks later a bag arrived at my apartment with how-to instructions for four different makeup looks along with four jumbo zip lock bags filled with cosmetics for each.
While I'm no makeup artist, these looks were really easy to accomplish. My favorite were the smokey eye and pink lip. I shot some of the looks in my backyard in Jersey and some on my vacation in Aruba. Lighting is everything! The photo they chose was the smokey eye look, which was shot in Aruba on my family vacation by my uncle, Rich Millward, who is a photographer (lucky me!). I instagramed all of the pics that I sent in to make sure my skin looked flawless (wouldn't you?).
Pick up the September issue of Self to check out the "Less Is More, Beautiful" article about easy fall makeup looks. Other beauty bloggers from DailyMakeover.com and the blogger behind BeautyBanter.com are featured as well. I'm telling you, all of the looks are super easy!

I must admit that I probably spend 18 out of 24 hours of my day online. Call me a geek, but it's my life! Here's a peek at what I've been entertained by this week in between writing breaks. Enjoy!
A few months ago I filmed a campaign with BetterTV and Elizabeth Arden called True Beauty Secrets with Rachel Hayes Gayle of DailyMakeover.com and Daneen Baird of SpoiledPretty.com and it just went live.
The video centers around 
I'm pretty anal when it comes to having my eyebrows threaded. I get them done when there's the least bit of hair underneath them because they need to look and feel very clean. I also love the woman who shapes my brows because she places the arch exactly where it needs to be.
What about you? Are your brows shaped properly according to your face shape? There is a science to the madness! DailyMakeover recently talked with the owner of Browhaus Salon, Cynthia Chua, to find out just how to get the perfect brow for your face shape. Check out the 
Last week I was venturing to one of my fave cafe's in NYC, One Lucky Duck, to grab a salad with a friend and he was telling me he once tried an apple cleanse – a three day cleanse where you only eat apples. Sounds crazy right? Well, if you're anything like me and aren't attracted to the idea of eating apples for three days straight, check out these foods that Dr. Perricone told 
Not that you don't already know, but I'm sure we can all use a little extra help when it comes to looking sassy this holiday season. I found a great article on DailyMakeover that dissected 20 different ways!
From rocking the right accessories to how to wear a berry lip, they covered all of the sexiest looks of the season. My fave: Pump Up Your Pony Tail AnnaLynne McCord style. Here's how to get the look: Blow-dry hair, then twirl large Velcro rollers around two-inch sections of hair, blast with heat for five minutes, then remove and lightly brush hair. Tease roots and pull back into a haute ponytail.
Do you know what you're being for Halloween yet? I have to admit I'm staying far out of NYC during the parade thanks to the amount of Snooki's and Paulie D's that I fear will be running around this year. This year, I'm sticking to watching trick or treaters in, ironic enough, Jersey.
If you want to embrace your inner Jersey Shore or try it on for just a minute by all means, be my guest! DailyMakeover put together a Jersey themed makeover 
Well NYFW has certainly come to an end, and so has my coverage. Til' next season, allow me to leave you with some of the top beauty looks that all transulate from runway to real way. The best part about these looks – you can try them all on in DailyMakeover's 
MAC lead makeup artist Val Garland at Cynthia Rowley was going for an innocent look, so she put the focus on the eyes with 20 coats of mascara on the bottom lashes to give models that ingenue appeal. A smudged red lip provided color, while metallic hair extensions were added to a sleek updo for a punk edge.
The hair and makeup at Charlotte Ronson was sweet meets street. Tresemme lead stylist Jeanie Syfu added subtle texture and a bit of curl to models' hair, then created tiny braids on each side. Instead of tying them off with elastics, she applied Tresemme Curl Activator to the ends of the braids and then clamped with a flat iron to secure.
While a few of the looks at Fashion Week were over-the-top and extravagant, the majority were much more low-key and wearable, like this effortlessly sexy one worn by models at Alexander Berardi. A volumized, side-swept low ponytail and naturally defined eye makeup created a casually chic air that was more real life than runway.
