April Brings More Than Showers: 40% sale at Neiman Marcus

Timesaver: Qtica Half Time Polish Drying Accelerator

Sometimes it seems like it takes FOREVER for freshly painted nails to dry. One day after carefully not touching a thing for at least an hour I thought I was in the clear but man I was so wrong – practically every nail was ruined. Talk about a bummer. Then one day a friend recommended Qtica’s Half Time Polish Drying Accelerator ($22). This product truly works and is worth every penny. In less than 10 minutes your nails will be completely dry!! No more walking around with your hands sprawled about looking like a mix between Frankenstein and an alien…Or maybe that’s just me.
DC Weekend: Yoga on the Mall

It’s that time of year again in DC when the Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom and the weather is grand. Definitely a weekend to spend outdoors. What better way to take in the beauty of the blooms then to spend your morning meditating, chanting, and exercising at the National Mall!! The free class is tomorrow, April 3, open to all levels, and begins at 11am at the Washington Monument. SAHA VIRYAM KARAWAVAHAI (That’s yoga for “Together may we be nourished”).
J.Crew Extra 30% off sale & Free Sale

Get Your Legs Ready for the Spring/Summer


One of the downers of living in the northeast is the reality that practically half of the year is chilly/cold. You really have no choice but to cover and bundle up from October – March. Sure, we’ve had our “teasers” when the sun shines thru and the temperatures rise to the 70s…only to be brought back to reality the next day when temperatures resume to the 30s and 40s. If you’re like me, your legs have been covered for months and cannot wait to breathe. Well ladies, check your forecast because it’s supposed to be nice this weekend – that’s right – in the 70s Friday, Saturday AND Sunday. Your legs won’t know what to do!! So to prep your legs for their seasonal debut, renew that wintry dry skin with Clinique’s “Sparkle Skin” Body Exfoliating Cream. And when you’re out on the town, show of those babies by enhancing your legs with Bobbi Brown’s Beach Body Oil, which leaves your skin not only soft but fully moisturized. Your legs will glow with excitement!!
