My Little Doggy

Here is part of what’s been keeping me so busy lately… the other part is potty training girl2006 – not that cute.  About a month ago we got a sweet little pup, his name is Smokey… he stunk up a storm at first and was very shy and not used to human interaction – [...]

The new Steeping Beauty Blog Banner

If you’re waiting on me to do something, I am desperately trying to figure out how to change the header to this.

Last night I tried to change my theme, I downloaded Chris Pearson’s neoclassical theme, unzipped, and headed to my host.

I followed the steps and everything was going ok [...]

AMBI Skincare Science and Medicine Scholarship

I just got wind about a wonderful scholarship opportunity for Hispanic and African American women.  AMBI®Skincare has announced the annual AMBI® Scholarship in Science & Medicine with $50,000 up for grabs! 

My experience: When I was a college student I tried my hardest to get scholarships and grants with very limited success, many of the [...]

a Beauty Blogger’s Touch for the New York Times

Have you seen the commercials for Yilkers? 

 Yilkers does for feet what wrinkle creams do for eyes, sounds familiar and believable…  I reached for my phone, a thought crosses my mind… will these things *really* work? I don’t want to blow $28 to find out they don’t work.

Yilkers’ commercial is so convincing, but I’d rather talk to someone [...]

Rihanna Got Milk? ad beauty

Got Milk? The talented and Beautiful, Rihanna is the latest spokesperson to urge us to drink milk. 

Hopefully the prices will come down so us mere mortals can afford it.  I guess reducing the price never crossed the ad people’s minds to encourage us to drink more milk. 

A girl shouldn’t have to choose between the [...]

New York Minutes

What a great and productive trip! I’m so glad we decided to go, most things went well and the highlight was the Total Beauty event on December 11th at Space NK Apothecary in NYC.

The first thing we did on Monday night was go to the Empire State Building, I highly recommend going [...]

Jennifer Love Hewitt bad picture day

I finally saw the photos of Jennifer Love Hewitt in her bikini on the beach!  Isn’t there some kind of law on shooting someone from the back! I can’t believe those were published!  On J Loves blog she states she’s a size 2 and that is not fat.  I totally agree with her, a size two [...]

All the stuff I want…

I’ve been thinking about all the stuff I want to buy in the near future…

feminine gym bag, probably not a duffle but not the LL Bean tote I’m currently using fluffy slippers with skid protection lots of small size product to take to the gym, shampoo, conditioner, hair treatments, moisturizers for face and body. [...]

beauty blogs: to pic or not to pic

I’ve been trying to decide if putting a picture of myself on this blog would be a good idea?  do you expect your beauty bloggers to be extra beautiful? or is ok to be average?   It is nice to see the face behind the posts though so I think I’m going to go [...]

Accessories for your accessories

Accessorize your accessories? where does it end?  I love the customization aspect, I like to know for sure that is my purse, or phone or gym bag.  It’s one of the things I loved about Japan because the women have been doing that for years.  A lot of the purses now have so much charm-ing [...]
