We all know her. We love and admire her. And yet we hate her for her determination.  Yes, I’m talking about the woman who shaves her legs everyday.  For years, I have wished for such motivation. That I, too, would be sharp enough in the morning to steady my body in the awkward “propped” position it requires to contribute such love and care towards my femininity. But I’m not. Year after year, boyfriend after boyfriend continue to brush their hands along my shins as we lay on the couch, in hopes that maybe I have had a change of heart this winter and decided that wildabeast wasn’t “in” this time around. Shaving makes me feel feminine, and I love the feeling of slipping into clean sheets at night with silky sleek legs.  But sometimes a girl just doesn’t have the time!  Or the energy!  But I just happened to stumble upon something that other day that may have, in fact, changed my life.

I’m not a push-over.  Really.  I’m not…normally.  I understand the concept of sacrificing “things” in order to live.  I have lived frugally, and I can so “no.”  I promise.  But in this particular instance, I just didn’t want to.  Last week a friend invited me to a trunk show at this phenomenal Midtown East apt. with a phenomenal view of the city, with phenomenal items for purchase.  Hello! Skinny Jeans, Betty Badd Couture, and Susanna Galanis were all present, and I assure you, that I went with every intention of not purchasing.  

Ha ha, hee hee, whoo whooo….whoooo.  Ok, now that I’ve amused myself once more with a Stila play on words, I can tell get down to the real deal.  Stila cosmetics, one of my favorite brands, has just launched their limited edition Front Row Look palette from their Backstage Beauty Collection.  Available at www.stilacosmetics.com, 10% of the proceeds from Front Look will be donated to the Step Up Women’s Network, a national non-profit membership organization dedicated to strengthening
community resources for women and girls. 

Summer is coming to a close and while it may still be hot as Hell, wherever you are, you know that Fall is just around the corner.  Or maybe around the block.  But it’s on the way.  In the next few weeks I am excited to say I’ll be informing you beauty savvy readers of some delicious new trends for Fall.  However, I couldn’t let summer slip away without telling you one more thing…one more time.  Keep wearing your sunscreen!!!!!  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you’re tired of hearing me preach about it, but I came across this article on Science Daily.com in which the first paragraph alone scared the %&*$ out of me.  Do the words “burn…ultraviolet…and deadly consequences” not frighten you???
