Up-n-Comin'...








There's a fine line between being a fashion designer and a fashion visionary. Jasmine di Milo's Srping '09 RTW line proves that she has a vision. She's designed galmorous get-up-and-go pieces with a woman's silhouette in mind.
Oh how I long for that gold mini dress in the last photo above...

What good is California sunshine without glowing skin to match?
Product: Pears Soap aka 'The Original Transparent Soap'
Trial Period: about a month
Rating: 5/5!
Review:
Consider this mixture: old broccoli with a little cough syrup and peppermint. That's what Pears Soap smells like. Aside from the not-so-glamorous smell, this has been one of the best gentle soaps on the market for decades (Since the 1800s). As a facial cleanser, its non-comedogenic benefits are plentiful. The smooth soap suds work quickly to strip the skin of oils and daily buildup. But not to worry. The stripped feeling is easily combated with a heavy duty moisturizer. After a couple of weeks of consistent use, my blackhead-prone skin is even and under cntrol. Usually visible pores are forgotten, makeup comes off with less effort, and, still, I can claim the glow!
