4 Must-Have Beauty Tricks from Carmindy

One of my longtime favorite shows is TLC's What Not to Wear, which features makeup artist Carmindy who is known for giving WNTW participants natural-looking, real world-ready makeovers. In this month's Glamour I found some tips from the makeup artist herself:

1) You can pull off red lips.
"Try a gloss and don't swipe it all over. Put some on your pinkie and dab it onto your lips--you'll get color and shine, but it won't look gooped on."

2) Look fresh after a long flight.
"Hydrate halfway through by spritzing your face with water, then reapplying moisturizer and lip balm."

3) Customize your moisturizer.
"Add a couple of drops of essential oil and liquid luminizer to any bottle of unscented body lotion. It smells great and gives your body a glow."

4) An easy skin refresher:
"Fill up your sink with [lukewarm] water, add a cup of apple cider vinegar, then splash your face about 10 times. Rinse with cold water. It's the best toner!"

Easy & Delicious Caesar Salad Dressing

I love Caesar Salads, but often times find the restaurant dressings to be too heavy for my taste.  This recipe uses olive oil instead of mayonnaise which creates a light and delicious topping for your romaine lettuce!

Ingredients:

3   anchovy fillets (packed in olive oil)
1   tsp. salt
4   garlic cloves (minced)
1   TBSP. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1   tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1   tsp. fresh ground pepper
1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/3 C. extra virgin olive oil
1   C. freshly grated Parmesan cheese

In a small bowl, mash the anchovy fillets, salt and the minced garlic to make a paste.  Set aside.  In a small food processor, combine lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and mustard.  Pulse to blend.  Add the anchovy mixture and pulse again.  Add the olive oil and mix until all ingredients are blended well.

Using chopped romaine lettuce, toss with Parmesan cheese and dressing.  Top with croutons, if desired.

Bon Appetite!

Signorelli

I have been wearing my Signorelli t-shirt almost every day when I noticed a message on the inside of the shirt. The basic message was to inspire change and a brighter future upon us. They are dedicated to raising awareness through fashion. I was so impressed that I looked them up on their website. I was so touched by what I found out.

They work closely with Africa to help fund clean drinking water, education facilities, healthcare, and the preservation of the African culture. They also give back to the environment by working with organizations that continue to make the world a better, greener place.

They give back to charities that are committed to developing more innovative medical care and developing education programs for children. They strive to help fund research for autism, create readily available resources for underprivileged children and the homeless. Finally, they help preserve and protect the planet's first inhabitants that globally safeguard endangered species, conserve natural habitats, and secure ecosystems.

You can find this brand at J. Lamore in Madision, WI. If I am going to buy clothes and also be fashionable, I tend to gravitate towards companies that actually care about our world. Besides Signorelli, J. LaMore has many other clothing lines that are committed to becoming green and making this world a better place.

The Healthy Way to a Summer "Tan"

Lately, when I'm getting dressed in the morning, I've been having a tough time deciding what to wear.  The temps outside dictate a next to nothing outfit but my paler than pale body demands jeans and a long sleeve top!  Why is it that the sun, something that makes us feel and look so good is so bad for us?  I know, in moderation it's good for us, but seriously how can I achieve a Hawaiian Tropic tan in moderation?

I've stepped into the Mystic tanning booth, tragic.  I've tried numerous sunless tanning products, which seem to work OK, but since I'm not an octopus I have difficulty reaching every inch of my body.  The only proven way to get a great tan the healthy way is airbrush tanning. 

Lucky for me, we have a great salon right here in Madison that provides a flawless sun kissed tan in a matter of 20 minutes.  Circa Bella Salon uses the Infinity Sun Spray Tanning System, which is considered the best in the industry.  It's the same system that was featured on E! Network's popular hit show "Sunset Tan." 

The beauty of this system at Circa Bella is two fold.  Number one, this liquid tan is a custom blend of sunless tanner combined with anti-oxidants and pure botanicals.  This leaves your skin with a natural looking golden brown glow that is actually good for you!  Number two, meet Shannon the owner of Circa Bella.  She's a complete pro at applying the airbrush tan, making sure you have an even, natural looking tan.  She assesses your skin tone to determines the shade that will give you the best tan and makes sure you get the depth of color you're looking for.  It's not easy applying an airbrush tan, but she does it with ease and the end result is gorgeous.

Fear no more my pale body, we're on our way to see Shannon!  Tomorrow is a new day, complete with a next to nothing outfit!  (well, almost).

Johnny Carson and the Rat Pack

This is an incredible video from 1965.  Johnny Carson was hosting a show put on at the Kiel Opera House in St. Louis with the Rat Pack performing.  Legend has it this is the only time Johnny sang in public.  It's truly amazing.  Quincy Jones was conducting the band, and can be seen in the background.  Now this is music!




Enjoy!

The battle of the divas: Who was weirdest first

Oh, Hollywood. What would average people do without you? Be a lot more bored, of course.


It seems that divas Rihanna, Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga have entered into some sort of contest to prove who can be the weirdest and most outlandish, which provides endless viewing pleasure to those of us who cannot walk around in latex cat suits all day. And not only have they continued to try to “out-weird” each other, but now they are fighting over who is copying whom!

Aguilera has been receiving flack as of late for her allegedly Gaga-inspired looks, though she claims that her new look and “techno-electric-pop” sound (off new album, Bionic) was inspired by her son, the new generation, and looking into the future. Rihanna’s stylist, however, claims that Aguilera’s look is much more “Rihanna” than “Gaga,” saying “Seeing stuff — the black patent leather, the tutus and the spikes — reminds me of Rihanna more than Gaga.”

You’re all weird, I say, in the most respectful way possible. Don’t get me wrong, I love the outlandishness of these ladies. Variety is the spice of life! (Not to mention that they are all very talented.) The world would be much duller without them.

More weirdness: Miley Cyrus decided to wear a mesh monokini over a triangle top, under shorts with legwarmers. Really. Has she joined the running too? She better watch out or the divas will be after her next!

Our Garden

Jim and I planted three large raised garden beds recently in our back yard.  From tomato's to acorn squash, every thing that we love to eat and could potentially grow, we planted.  I'm already anticipating our bountiful harvest, thinking of all the amazing recipes we can make!

We planted basil, one of my favorite herbs.  Once it's ready to be picked, I'm making this delicious recipe I found in Bon Appetite.

Poached Eggs and Parmesan Cheese over Toasted Brioche with Pistou

Ingredients


1/3 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves

1/2 small garlic clove

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

4 large eggs

2 1/2-inch-thick slices brioche or egg bread, toasted

Parmesan cheese shavings

Preparation

Puree basil, garlic, and oil in mini processor until very smooth. Season pistou to taste with salt and pepper.

Add enough water to medium skillet to measure 1 1/4 inches. Sprinkle salt generously into water. Bring water to simmer over medium heat. Crack eggs 1 at a time and gently slip into water. Cook until egg whites are just set and egg yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.

Place hot toasts on plates. Top each with Parmesan. Using slotted spoon, transfer 2 eggs, well drained, to each piece of brioche. Sprinkle eggs with salt and pepper. Drizzle with some of pistou and serve.

Bon Appetite!

Kombucha

I truly couldn't believe my eyes on Saturday morning when I stopped into Willy St. Co-Op for my Kombucha fix.  Every single bottle of Kombucha was erased from the shelf, the only trace that it ever existed was a short note taped to the case stating "until further testing, this product has been removed by the supplier."  

I've blogged in the past about my obsession with Kombucha, even then I had no idea how this fermented brew would become part of my daily life.  In the past I would make sure to grab a bottle if I had been out late the night before and felt a little "detox" was necessary.  Now, I drink it everyday and I'm in a bit of a panic with this whole Linsay Lohan farce and my lack of readily available Kombucha. 

There's a bit of regret in telling you this, only because I'm guessing once I mention the source to get Kombucha (yes, I found some) it could be the end of the supply.  I've wrestled back and forth with sharing the store, but feel as a true friend I must help others who are desperate for their Kombucha! 

The HyVee grocery store on East Washington Ave. in Madison has a plentiful supply of J.T.'s Kombucha and J.T.'s Synergy blend Kombucha.  $3.69 a bottle.  I'm not sure how long this will last, so get it while you can.  If you'd like to thank me for the tip, just drop off a bottle or six!  Kidding!

"Rejuvenate, restore, revitalize, replenish, and regenerate."  Thanks Kombucha.

Lindsay Lohan takes down Kombucha

Here we go again! Lindsay Lohan, who has graced this magazine many times for her lifestyle and stupidity, has now gotten even with us for our comments because her ridiculousness has now affected how all of us live. I'm serious friends! Her ridiculous life, as well as the silly obsession our culture has with celebrities, have now caused grocery stores around the country to pull Kombucha off the shelves. WE LOVE KOMBUCHA, and now it's gone because of Lohan.

Here's the scoop! Lohan, who is on probation for drinking along with a whole bunch of stuff had a court appearance in CA where she received a no alcohol order by the court which required Lohan to wear a SCRAM bracelet. A SCRAM bracelet is an Alcohol Monitoring System which stands for Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor. It is worn on the ankle and measures the subject’s blood alcohol level through perspiration on the skin.

Knowing she cannot drink alcohol anymore and wanting to replace it with a healthier habit, Lindsay Lohan started drinking Kombucha. Kombucha is a fermented beverage made of tea bacteria cultures. For over 2,000 years people in Asia have been drinking Kombucha for its purported medicinal benefits which include: improving immunity, aiding digestion, and improving liver function. Because Kombucha is fermented, it does contain trace amounts of alcohol.

Apparently, this set off Lindsay Lohan’s SCRAM device. I don’t know about you, but I have to wonder if Lindsay went on a bender and is simply blaming the Kombucha for it. However, it happened, it has caused an uproar in the industry.

Millennium Products Inc. has voluntarily pulled its products to determine what the exact level of alcohol in a typical bottle is. Rumour has it that some of them contain as much as 1.5% alcohol by volume. This, while still a relatively small amount, is high enough to require a government warning. The government requires any product containing .5 percent or higher to carry the warning. Currently most Kombucha products are labeled as having “trace amounts of alcohol”, not a sufficient label if the amount is more than .5 percent. Whole Foods Market has pulled all of it’s Kombucha products including Millennium’s GT and Coke’s Honest T varieties until this issue is resolved.

In the meantime, I’m stuck without my Kombucha Buzz. I’m considering brewing my own. Lindsay, you’ve ruined it for all of us.

Booty call! The latest from Alexander Wang!

When you're Gisele Bundchen every door you walk by opens automatically, even if you don't want to walk through it.

Cast your mind back to the Met Costume gala and Gisele Bundchen's leg-baring, fringed Alexander Wang dress. The frock—requiring a two-day endeavor in weaving strips of leather onto Gisele's body—was a refreshing departure from the customary frills and frou frou dresses chosen by many of the attendees.

It should come as no surprise that the dress was a one-night wonder designed just for the supermodel. But here's what we're excited about: Alexander Wang has recreated the sexy fringed booties she wore that night for the rest of us is a reasonably priced $615 chunk of change.

Marie Claire Magazine

Hi again!

I don't know if this has happened to any of you but I felt like I was in a magazine rut...I get People thru work and subscribe to US, Lucky and In Style but found that I was only skimming thru them looking at the fashion and clothes. Not that there is anything wrong with that but kind of felt like I needed more from my magazine. I happen to pick up Marie Claire last month and again this month and it was the first time I had read a magazine from cover to cover. They had , of course, the fashion and beauty items but also informative interesting articles. Plus, I really like Nina Garcia (Project Runway judge fame!) who is fashion director. Anyone else have a favorite magazine? Any good books you have read? I love reading a good book and can usually tell within the first few pages if I am going to like it our not. My favorite authors are James Patterson, Mary Higgins Clark , Carl Hiassen and John Grisham

who consistently write good books.

HGTV Design Star

Hi Friends & Bloggers!

Now that prime tv has had all their finales the summer shows on cable start...HGTV Design Star started its 5th season Sunday night. It is a reality based show with 12 designers with different designing backgrounds & levels competing for the title and their own show on HGTV. The 3 judges this year are: Genevieve Gorder, Candice Olson and Vern Yip who each have their own show on HGTV. The first challenge was to design a white box bedroom space inspired by the personality of a fellow designer who they were matched with. They were required to find all their items at an Asian market and a $500 budget, the designers scrambled to find items to describe their teammate. In the end, one designer was eliminated from the competition.

The winning room is to the right and the losing room is to the left. I do not have a great eye when it comes to colors and design. My husband and I painted our dining room and it took us 3 months to pick out a color and you really cannot even tell we painted it. On a positive note, the man at our local Sherwin Williams was really helpful and gave us lots of tips. We were tempted to pay him to come and paint the room! (I believe we actually hinted it to him a couple times in our conversation!).We have lived in our home for 4 years and this was the first time we had ever painted a room! We lived in our other house for 5 years and never painted...Now that we have the hurdle of our first room done, I am getting a little bolder to play with color and maybe even paint another room!

Fixing Tan Lines

This clever new self tanning gadget from Solerra helps fill in strap marks or other missed sports that show up on a real or faux tan. The Solerra Tanee has a precise, angled, 1/2 inch wide sponge tip applicator to target small areas like bikini string marks or in between fingers and toes. The trick is to blend the tinted formula thoroughly after applying by running a cotton swab along any stripes or streaks on the skin. Then soften the edges so they don't look obvious.

Chocolate Math

Impress your friends with this cocoa-inspired formula, already an Internet fad.

1) Pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate.
2) Multiply this number by 2.
3) Add 5
4) Multiply that number by 50.
5) If you have already had your birthday this year, add 1760. If you haven't, add 1759.
6) Now subtract the four-digit year that you were born.
7) You should have a three-digit number. The first digit of this figure is your original number 9i.e., how many times you want to eat chocolate each week).
8) The next two numbers are...YOUR AGE.

It really works!!!!!

Laquette "Constellation" Top in InStyle

We just got our July issue of InStyle with Cameron Diaz on the cover and as I was flipping through I noticed one of our new tops from Laquette in the "Your Look" Section! The Laquette "Constellation" top is a great top for summer and will look good styled different ways. You could make it girly, like they did with a skirt in Instyle, or wear it styled in a boho/world traveler way like we did with it in the World Beat lookbook.

Blonde vs. Brunette: What's Right For You?

Better Blonde

Go blonde if you...

Have lots of pink in your skin.

A cool, baby blonde is gorgeous with rosy skin, says Matthew B. It freshens the face yet prevents the skin from looking too flushed. Conversely, rosy skin (or even just a face full of bubble-gummy makeup) will clash with warm, brown hair.

Want to cut your hair short?

Meg's messy shag. Reese's bob. Jane from Melrose Place's chic crop circa '94. "When a short haircut is really hot, it's always on a blonde," says Matthew B. This is probably partly due, says Parvin, to highlights' ability to play up a style's shape.

7 Foods To Stop Ignoring

These super foods may get B-list treatment at the supermarket, but their health benefits deserve top billing.

Beets

If beets give you "clean your plate" flashbacks, it's time to give them a second chance and add them back to your list of favorite health foods. They are one of the best sources of betaine and folate, two nutrients that reduce heart-disease risk.

Tip Wash and peel one fresh beet, then shred it on the widest blade of a grater. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the juice of half a lemon.

Cabbage

Cabbage makes you gassier than the Goodyear blimp, but each 22-calorie cup is loaded with sulforaphane, a chemical that increases your body's production of the enzymes that disarm cell-damaging, cancer-causing free radicals.

Tip Top off a burger with crunchy cabbage instead of soggy lettuce leaves.

Reduced Price On a Great Pair Of Skinny Jeans

It's a rainy 60 degrees here in Madison today.  Normally 60 degrees feels pretty good, but combine it with rain and wind it feels down right cold!  I was incredibly challenged this morning getting dressed, trying to figure out something cute that would keep me warm!

My usual summer dress or cute short shorts and high heels were not going to cut it today.  Instead I reached for one of my favorite pair of skinny jeans, the CJ Joy Skinny.  I love these jeans.  Not only are they incredibly comfortable, they look like a million bucks on.  The waist is a bit higher and the front pockets are actually sewn closed. Both of these features allow these jeans to fit more like a legging but look like jeans.  I threw on my old Frye boots and a cute LONG SLEEVE Salvage top (boo on the long sleeves!) and suddenly I was warm and stylish. 

I love these jeans so much I decided to mark them down with the hopes you will decide to try them too!  They're now $77! 

 Email me if you have any questions regarding the fit.  I suggest sizing down as they run a size or two bigger.

Let's hope for some sunnier weather soon!  I'm dying to wear all of my cute summer clothes!

Great Way To Start The Day!

Love it!

A great story from the bitchy waiter. . . !

Hi friends and fellow bloggers.  One of the few blogs I follow is "The Bitchy Waiter" out of New York.  I strongly suggest you follow this blog and enjoy yourself.  He is too funny and this is my kind of humor.  Here's a story posted the other day that I thoroughly enjoyed.

At work a few days ago I came across an ethical dilemma. One of those moments where you have to make a split decision about something and the choice is not an easy one to make. The wrong decision can change a life. Should I do what is right or should I do what is easy? It was a very busy night and I had a lot of drinks to get out before the show started in five minutes. The bar was a sea of cocktails waiting for me to carry them to their rightful owners. As I headed to table 42 (Or at least I think it's 42. I don't really know those table numbers back there. You know, the one in the corner?), the ethical dilemma presented itself. On my tray was a Diet Coke (Diet Pepsi, really...), one glass of pinot grigio and two Bloody Mary's.

Summer Swimwear . . . !

Hi Jennifer & Friends:

I've been running for more than a year now and have toned and shaped my figure like never before. I'm now shopping for swimwear which is something I haven't done in years. More like 15 years!

The only difference between then and now is that I don't actually go into the water and I never go into the ocean. I live in LA and our condo has a small but very nice pool. My swimwear is really for getting some sun so I should call it 'sun wear' even though I'm getting older now and sitting in the sun isn't something I do very often either. Maybe I should just forget the whole thing.

However, I'm going to a huge pool party and I want to look fantastic. There, I said it! I basically want to show off all my hard work.

I haven't bought a swimsuit in so long I have no idea what's in style, especially for someone in their 30's. The swimsuit I have pictured is a little skimpy but I like it. My fiance' is coming with me and his suit is so simple to buy but my suit challenge is real and important.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this suit or any suggestion?

The Velvet Trend. . . !

Hi Jennifer & Gang! I've been seeing a lot of velvet worn on the runways and in the fashion magazines and from what I can tell there's a new trend on the horizon. And, I have to add, that I'm not that big a fan of this look and material. I think it ages women and can look a little like you were rummaging through your grandma's closet.

If you take a look at the history of this fabric you can find yourself going all the way back to the 13th century when it was worn by Kings and Queens of England and France. Every time I think of velvet I think of movies of that period with Judi Dench wearing long flowing robes and giant cuffs and collars all made of velvet.

But circa 2010 brings us a new velvet as Giorgio Armani had an entire runway show with jackets and pants made of velvet and even furniture and accessories adorn the look. The interesting thing about velvet is that it seems they only use it when making dark clothing; blue's, black, burgundy, etc. I've never seen a light colored velvet anything, or at least I can honestly say I don't remember seeing it.

Velvet of a more current past reminds me of burned out rock stars like Freddie Mercury from Queen or even Mick Jaeger. How about a dramatic over exaggeration of a pimp. LOL! Can you picture this look? It's so vivid in my head.

Needless to say, I'm not going to pick up any velvet pieces anytime soon unless of course I try it on and look fantastic in it.

J. LaMore Beauty Book: World Beat

(Click to view larger)

As our lookbook grows, we get more and more requests from J. LaMore friends and visitors about it: where to find an outfit or an accessory, how to do hair styles, makeup, etc. Since we all love beauty advice, we have decided to start the J. LaMore Beauty Book feature, which will be posted to J. LaMore Magazine following each new lookbook and will give product recommendations and beauty advice on how to best capture the look.

Our newest lookbook, "World Beat", is a collection of looks that capture exotic globetrotter style. We imagined this paired with a breezy, natural, sun-kissed look. Read on to find out how to re-create it:

 

1) Pixi Sheer Cheek Gel in Sun Kissed: The last thing you want to put on your face on a hot summer day is a bunch of face powder. Opt instead for a blush gel or cream that will give a light, sheer tint. This cheek gel will give you a dewy glow. [Target, $18]

2) Braided Updo: Braids were everywhere on the runways this spring. For a low-key look, try an undone, low braid. For a night out, try twisting it into an updo. So many options!

3) Stila Sun Bronzing Powder: There's nothing like sweeping some bronzer over your temples and cheeks for an insta-glow. [Sephora, $28]

4) Sephora by OPI Chic Print for Nails in Tiger: GRR baby! Add a little wild side to your look with OPI's nail stickies. No mani pedi needed! [Sephora, $15]

5) L'Occitane Jasmine Eau de Parfum: Mist yourself with an exotic scent, like Jasmine, which L'Occitane says is "intimately connected with the beauty of the greatest queens of Egypt." [L'Occitane, $66]

What is your ecological footprint?

Hi! It's me Jennifer! Saturday is World Environment Day which reminded me of this great blog Julie wrote on Earth Day. I thought I'd post it again, to allow all of us to take a moment and think about our own ecological footprint! Enjoy!.......

Tomorrow is Earth Day! I found this fun little quiz that you can take to see what your ecological footprint is (basically it just tells you how many of earth's resources you are taking up with your lifestyle.) It asks you about what you eat, how you live, etc. We would need 4.5 earths worth of resources if everyone lived my lifestyle! What score did you get?? Post it on the comments of this blog! We did this for class and scores ranged from 3.1 earths to 6.5 earths. At least I'm average, right?!

It does make me think about the choices I make and what it could lead to in the future. My next step? Trying to buy more organic clothing! Jennifer, what brand is it that you carry that is organic ? I'm drawing a blank! I also try to buy "green" cleaning products, AND I recycle as much as possible! A little bit can go a long way.

New Laquette Dress

Hi Jennifer & Friends:

I was just going over all the new arrivals and fell in love with the Laquette "Heather Tie Dye" dress. This is perfect for my little weekend get-a-ways that we have planed this summer.

Almost every summer my fiance' plan at least two little escapes, as we like to call them, in a bed-n-breakfast up in northern part of England. Last year we went south west along the coast and had a fantastic time but going north is so much fun.

Now that the World Cup Soccer starts June 11th going to some of the pubs to watch the games will be especially exciting.

I have my new camera all equipped and ready to go.
