I recently came across a skin care product from Skin Care RX called Daily Microfoliant by Dermalogica.  I’ve had micro-dermabrasion done on my face before. It is expensive and slightly uncomfortable. You can feel the results right away because as soon as the treatment is over you can simply touch your face and see how soft it is.  This is the same feeling I had after using the Daily Microfoliant by Dermalogica.

This is a simple product to use and you could even take it into your shower and use it on your face daily after you wash your face.  All you do is apply a small amount on wet hands and it turns into a soft sanding paste that easily works away dead skin cells with no pain and leaves your skin feeling baby soft.

Using this on a daily basis has helped my skin quite a bit already.  I can also notice that my make up goes on more evenly and I have yet to break out (knock on wood) since I’ve started using it.

I think this would be a great product for anyone who enjoys the feeling of a clean face that is beyond soft on a daily basis.

This is a very gentle exfoliant that uses rice enzymes as its key ingredient.

If you want to rid yourself of dead skin cells and find out more about this daily exfoliant you can read about it on the Skin Care RX website.  They are also offering a $20 coupon right now.  All you have to do is follow this link and enter your email address.

I just got my new Starbucks® Gold Card. (Even though it’s really black) It costs $25 per year and for that you get your first drink for free, a free drink on your birthday along with 10% most in store purchases.  The gold card can also be used as a gift card.  You can reload it online.

If you are planning on buying this as a gift for anyone, one thing to keep in mind is that you get the free drink when you purchase it, so plan on getting one of the most expensive drinks with extra shots and caramel.

This is different from the rewards card that you can register online.

My new favorite store is White House Black Market.  My good friend Gaby has been shopping there for over a year and it wasn’t until a couple months ago that I went in to check it out.  Yes. Everything in there is either black or white, but they have some fun animal and floral patterns.  They sell dressy dresses and casual outfits.  Their shoes are really very comfortable for heels because they have super padding in the soles. 

I got a great coupon in the mail that was $50 off a $200 purchase, plus I had a $40 gift card that my friend gave me after she puked on me.  That’s a whole other story that I might blog about later.  Anyway, it’s not the cheapest store in the world, I mean some of the tops are about $50 to $100, but they do have a decent sale section and tonight they were offering buy one get one for 50% off, so I was able to stock up on 3 cute tops and 1 nice black pin striped jacket for about $140 after my coupon and gift card.  Since the holidays are coming up I’m pretty much set with the tops I’ll wear to all the holiday parties, so it was a good shopping day.

If you see this store in your mall, stop in and check it out.  The only thing I think is kind of a rip off is the jewelry.  The last time I went there the sales girl asked if I wanted to add a cute black necklace to what I was buying.  I didn’t look at the price, but realized when I got home that it was $50. At that point I went ahead and kept it, but typically I’d never pay $50 for a necklace.

This store received some national attention when Michelle Obama wore this dress on The View that she said cost about $100.

So if you don’t take my word for it, take the word of our future first lady.

Some of the other features that are appealing is that it has a camera (my Blackberry doesn’t have a camera). It has the great email capability that my Blackberry has, but more memory for mp3’s and videos.

Hopefully my hubby will read my blog and surprise me with one of these.

I don’t wear a lot of make up, but I always wear mascara and this new “Bad Gal Lash” by benefit is amazing. It is very thick, but not clumpy and it stays on all day. It also washes off very easily at night.

If you’re looking for thick lush eye lashes, give it a shot.

Take the time during the day to treat yourself to something nice. It only takes 20 seconds to apply lotion, but you get the benefit all day.

I bought a purse spray and I adore it. It is so chic and is covered with all my favorite C’s.

This is something I would recommend putting on your wish list for Mother’s Day or a Birthday.

It’s really a great buy.

You can find this at most high end beauty supply shops. It runs about $150 bucks, but well worth it. I’ve had mine for about three years and it is still working great.

Now Rosie, being the crafty person she is said she’d go home over the weekend and make a knock off using supplies she found at Target or in her craft house. (Yes, she has a craft house). Now on any given day you wouldn’t hear me touting anything Rosie, but I have to admit, she did a pretty good job.

Can you tell which one is the real Louis Vuitton?

Rosie said today that she’d be selling her bag for charity at charitybuzz.com. By the way, Rosie’s is the second one.

On the 23rd I went down to the Kodak Center on Hollywood and Highland.  I hadn’t been there since the building was completed.  It is just beautiful.  It’s weird how the parking goes down like 6 levels.  I can remember so well when they were digging that hole.  It is really a magnificent building.  Among many stores it houses a Louis Vuitton store which is where my husband made the big purchase.
