Get The Winning Look From Our ‘All Star Weekend’ Poll!

imageLast week, we asked you which court-side honey from All-Star weekend really got her style on and with over half of the votes, the winner is … Beyonce! With her sexy curves and glowing skin and smile, Beyonce knows how to look amazing whether she’s dressed to the nines, or sitting and watching a basketball game with hubby, Jay-Z.


We love the coverage of the loose fit and 3/4 sleeves of her blouse and how the plunging cowl neck makes it young and sexy. Slim fit denim shows of her curves without being overtly sensual and sky-high glittering platform pumps add just the right amount of glam. Large over-sized earrings and voluminous hair gave it the signature ‘Beyonce’ edge and minimal makeup kept her look fresh and clean.

Daily Obsesh – Balloona Side Table

imageAs a child, did you ever wonder what happened to a balloon when you let it fly into the sky? Did it wander into outer space? Or did curious birds pop it before it got very far? Well here’s one answer to tell the little rugrats in your life when they ask that very question – it becomes furniture!


At least these balloons do. Five hundred deflated balloons in a variety of colors cover this cool table and make it a delightful addition to any bedroom.


The Balloona side table isn’t cheap, but with good reason … each balloon is tied together over wood to create this fun piece of furniture. We love looking at it and remembering the joy we felt in our younger years. Balloons can brighten any day and with this table, they certainly brighten ours!

Beauty Pick Me Up – Skin Remedies!

imageYour skin if your best accessory and your smiling face is what people see first so it’s important to make sure it’s always looking it’s best! While we weren’t all born with the flawless-skin gene a la Halle Berry, there are beauty secrets that can help diminish and smooth out whatever blemish and flaw it is that you have! We’ve chosen the most common skin problems and are giving tried and true tips on how to banish them away! Then click on the slideshow for products that we love!



Dark Eye Circles – This nasty little beauty flaw is difficult to get rid of and can make even the brightest visage seem tired. There are many creams and gels (look for Retinol-A in the ingredients) that can help lighten dark under-eye circles, but remember to be consistent in applying them! Once in the morning and once before bed is ideal. Dark circles are also commonly caused by an iron deficiency so start ordering steaks and spinach for added iron!



Puffy Eyes – Puffy eyes are a sign of tired eyes and can add years to the face. If you’re already consistently getting a well-rested night of sleep, trying eye-creams and serums that have an anti-inflammatory or soother can help. Again, be consistent with application. Need a quick remedy? Cold masks and compresses or the age-old model secret of frozen spoons held against the eyes for a few minutes brings down swelling and puffiness!



Sun-Spots – Sun spots come after years and years of unprotected exposure to the sun so, in this case, prevention is the best cure. Applying (and reapplying!) a strong SPF before venturing out is a must, even in overcast weather. Hats are your friend and staying in the shade is a good idea. Already have sun spots? Lightening and whitening creams can help diminish the appearance of sun spots. If they are large or dark enough, sun spots can lead to much more serious health concerns so get them checked out and for major cases, laser removal is an option.



Shiny Skin – Don’t you hate it when a would-be-perfect picture is ruined by an excessively shiny or oily forehead and cheeks? There are a few ways to combat the dreaded ‘shiny forhead’. A mattifying primer applied before make up will help. There are many mattifying face washes and powders as well and invest (like $4!) in a pack of blotting papers to throw in your purse to de-shine on the go!

Daily Obsesh – Sobral USA Big Retroz Dome Ring

imageThis season the 70s are popping up everywhere, from flared jeans to platforms to sheer oversized shirts. I don€™t know about you, but I for one, have always wished that I could dress like Farrah Fawcett in her Charlie€™s Angels days without looking like I was on my way to a theme party.


Keeping up with this wonderful new trend, Sobral USA has come out with a chunky multi-colored ring reminiscent of a 1970s mood ring. The Big Retroz Dome ring is a stylish accessory that brings some attention without being too gaudy or flashy.


Because it’s multi-colored, this piece of jewelry will work with almost everything. Funny how ‘multi-colored’ can render can accessory ‘neutral’ when done well … And this ring is done well!


Bring the flower child attitude of the 1970s into 2011!
