There’s nothing more relaxing than a day at the spa. The majority my days are spaless, so to remind me of my favorite beauty escape, I sip on spa water, and this week’s tip is
how to make my favorite version.
Now every spa has some variation of spa water. I’ve taken my favorite elements of the spa waters I’ve had over the years and came up with the following recipe, a purifying and pretty drink that will leave you feeling cool and refreshed.
I decided to give my apartment a new year makeover, since one of my resolutions is to get organized in 2008, and I thought I would start the process by putting my personal belongings away. While on my fist step to a more organized life, I unearthed a jar of brown sugar hidden under a pile of clothes in my living room. Some months back, I was helping a dear friend of mine pack up for her move to Portland, when she randomly gave this jar of brown sugar. I’m a firm believer in serendipity, so I made sure this week’s tip, my D.I.Y. Winter Body Polish, was inspired by this lost treasure.
I’m obsessed with vitamins and dietary supplements. And it was through my latest quest for lasting good health, that I discovered this week’s tip. Originally, I started taking Omega-3 fish oil to protect my body against heart disease, since it helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels. After a few weeks of taking the supplement, I was pleasantly surprised by the marked improvement in the texture of my facial skin, which seems to be moisturized from the inside out, feeling softer than normal, and looking very clear and radiant. I researched Omega-3 fish oil, and turns out additional reputed health benefits include: aiding in weight loss, stabilizing moods, and easing joint inflammation associated with arthritis as well. So I’m omega wooed, and completely smitten with my new healthy habit.

Each year, my plan for New Year’s Eve is to have that perfect party outfit to match party perfect makeup. And as most of us know, New Year’s Eve festivities can go well into the wee hours of the morning, and so I like to have eye make up that can hang tough throughout, since lipstick can always be applied quite chicly, discreetly, and with a quickness in public. So my last official pick for 2007 is: Shiseido’s The Makeup Accentuating Creamy Eyeliner.
In winter, cold winds and freezing temperatures can wreak havoc on your skin, and it was just the other day, and quite by accident, that I found this week’s tip. So I’m a compulsive snacker, and while I was looking for something to nibble on in the fridge, I knocked over a can of coconut milk left over from a curry dish I made a couple days ago. As I was cleaning up the spilt coconut milk, I realized to my surprise it was leaving a nice, lightweight layer of moisture on my hands, giving them a very soft and supple texture, which ultimately was the inspiration for this week’s tip: Uses for coconut milk outside the kitchen.
