It's all about the roll and compress. ...

My intention was never to offend anyone, but to simply bring to light the fact that I care about what is happening and that the people of Haiti were in my thoughts and prayers.I am very sorry ...
A Quick Pre-Vacation Update: Vaycay Beauty Rituals
I am going to the Dominican Republic on Sunday on our honeymoon and for my good friend's wedding. Kind of bittersweet considering what's happened in Haiti.

Do Women Who Wear Makeup to Work Make More Money?
I just got the latest issue of Marie Claire with Christina Aguilera on the cover, and I wanted to share with you a little tidbit (though I know it will be a tad controversial) on page 84: Women who wear makeup earn up to 30 percent more than those who "cant be bothered," according to a study in the American Economic Review.

Do Men Really Hate Makeup?
