    (NY) Shearling

    November 10, 2010 /

    Shearling has been making a huge hit this winter! Don’t let winter sloppy tendencies get you down. You are going to stylish, amazing and warm.  This is my first winter in New York and it is going to be hella cold. Looking for coats… and really over the down et goose… for now.  What about shearling?
    A lamb- or sheepskin that has been tanned with the curly wool left on. Offering rugged appeal and the ultimate warmth, shearling is a popular leather for winter coats, hats and gloves. Basically like UGGS.
    Are you going to do it up?

    (NY) Skin Deep with Dr Baumann

    November 10, 2010 /

    *Special Guest Blog New York based Beauty Blogger from Alexandra Mann*  Thanks Alexandra!


     Most of You Are Buying the Wrong Products for Your Skin and Dr. Leslie Baumann Wants to Change That


    It’s been five years since women all over America who had been wearing the wrong bra size – 80% of them evidently – cast their old bras aside at Oprah Winfrey’s urging, and got properly fitted for new bras, thus enhancing their self confidence and style.  Now it’s time for 80% of women – hopefully not the same 80% – to turn their attention to their skin.

    Enter Dr. Leslie Baumann, who has dedicated her practice and research to ensuring that her patients are properly educated on the actual type of skin they have (not the type they think they have), for only then can they treat it properly and protect it, nurture it and make it look its best. Dr. Baumann was in New York today to promote her book, The Skin Type Solution,  her new PBS special airing this month (check your local listings) and her website, skintypesolutions.com. 

    Dr. Baumann’s 16 skin types are based on being either Oily or Dry; Resistant or Sensitive (i.e., having acne, rosacea, burning, etc.); Pigmented or Non-Pigmented (this is not related to ethnicity but rather to unwanted brown spots); and Wrinkled or Tight. “Eighty percent of women think they know their skin type and they’re wrong,” Dr. Baumann said. “Oily people think they’re dry and wrinkled people think they’re less wrinkled…”
    You get the idea.

    Dr. Baumann’s system evolved from 400 questions and her work with thousands of patients’ skin. The result is a questionnaire that literally anyone can fill out online. Based on the type of skin one has, Dr. Baumann and her team then recommend a full complement of skin care products from a range of brands that are best for you (“I’m not affiliated with particular brands,” she says).

    Once you go through the process of getting properly typed – which I did today – it makes you wonder why we are all so willing to spend our hard-earned money on products that promise the world but might be totally wrong for us. Vanity? I think it’s safe to say that’s certainly a component of caring for our skin, but if that’s the case then wouldn’t we want to do it right? I can’t recall a department store cosmetics salesperson asking me if I ever smoked cigarettes (I did but don’t anymore), how much cumulative time I’ve spent in the sun (quite a bit ages ago but never now), or if I am usually able to use hotel soaps on my face without incident (I am). But Dr. Baumann did ask me, and she will ask you, too… I won’t tell you my type, but I will tell you I’m now in the 20%.

    Bicycle Chandelier

    November 9, 2010 /
    a salvaged bicycle wheel has been given another chance at life, and with its new purpose a brilliant light shines forth! several dozen baubles and beads dangle beneath it that sparkle in the light ever so beautifully.
    the rim of this once spinning wheel is lined at the base with an aqua grosgrain ribbon that has been over-layed with a patterned turquoise satin ribbon.

    Fresh Strawberry Face Mask

    November 9, 2010 /
    For those that have oily skin, this face mask is the perfect way to pamper yourself without spending loads of money on expensive in-store products.  Strawberries are rich in alpha-hydroxy acid, which helps clear acne and reduce oil. Strawberries also reduce puffiness and circles beneath the eyes. Not only is this mask good for your skin but it smells amazing. I mean… who doesn’t love the smell of fresh strawberries?

    You’ll need:
    9 large ripe strawberries
    1 tbsp. olive oil
    2 tbsp. all natural honey
    1 lemon

    First, in a bowl mash the strawberries with a fork until the mixture is smooth. Then add the olive oil. The olive oil will help moisturize your skin without clogging your pores. Next add the honey. The honey will reduce inflammation and kills bacteria. Now depending on how oily your skin gets, add a few drops of lemon juice to the mixture. The more oily your skin is, the more drops you add. Lemon juice is like a natural astringent cleaning your skin. Be careful not to add too much or it’ll strip your skin of too much moisture. Apply the mask to a clean, dry skin in an even layer on your face and neck. Be sure to be careful around the eye area. Leave the mask on for 5 minutes then rinse with warm water.

    Try it out and see how you like it and keep an eye out for more information on California Strawberries.
