Dr. Rosenberg’s Instant Arches
comfort collection is composed of arch supports for closed and open toed shoes and sandals providing instant comfort and maximum support. Wear them to avoid sore tired feet, arch cramps, muscle spasms and ball of the foot pain. You can dance the holiday party away since they prevent foot slippage and leg fatigue. Holiday shop till you drop wearing Dr. Rosenberg’s Instant Arches.Holiday makeup calls for rich, warm, saturated shades so it’s time to ditch the light make up and ramp it up! Stock up on www.everybeautybrand.com. The Every Beauty 100% Natural EYE Makeup Remover Dry Cotton Pads with Argan Oil and infused with all natural cleanser, moisturizer and vitamin C. They protect the delicate eye area and lashes for daily use.They are alcohol and paraben free, cleanse and moisturize in one. Just add a few drops of water to activate.

There is always a great party planner in the bunch who deserves to be rewarded as a perfect host or hostess. The Soap and Paper Factory Roland Pine Soy Candles are great gifts for the host, hostess or both. Natural and pure, the recipient will surely enjoy the luxe Soap and Paper Factory soy candle. It is clean burning, beautifully scented and “green”! It is one of the best pine fragrances you will ever smell. It is uplifting, clean and pure and happy! It evokes childhood memories of laughter, holiday cheer, and family.

Unexpected guests do show up quite often at the holidays and not always at the right time. Thymes Home Fragrance Mists are a “must” to have on hand for the holidays. They are subtle yet sumptuous, eco-friendly with a low VOC (Volatile organic compounds) mist. They are an engaging natural alternative to conventional room sprays and air fresheners. Your guests will instantly feel comfortable! Scents include Brandied Pumpkin & Chestnut, Blackwood Currant and Birchwood and many more.

There is lots of gift giving throughout the holiday season from October – January so we suggest going with paper that is durable, high quality and works for a variety of occasions. Diva Wrap & Dude Wrap are always a hit. The ladies love the colorful shoe patterned paper and the guys love the funky mustache designs. It is sold by sheets of 12 of Diva Wrap (2 designs), 12 of Dude Wrap (2 designs) and a 12 sheet combo.

Books are one of our favorite gifts to give and receive, some houses are lined with books. Coffee table books are always eye catching. They are perfect to display to get guests talking and mingling around the living room sitting area.


Sky Horse Publishing
Tree Houses coffee table book illustrates a varied selection of structures built on or hung from trees. Inspiring photographs and drawings show how they can be used as luxury retreats, play forts, and functional lookouts. Guests will enjoy the nostalgic associations with childhood memories.

Sky Horse Publishing Passage to Burma coffee table book by Scott Stulberg. Passage to Burma is Stulberg’s photographic tribute to this remarkable place. Burma is captured beautifully in the images in this book. Your guests will enjoy the journey.

Keep It or Toss It?

Do you know the expiration dates on your favorite makeup?  Today on WCNC’s “Charlotte Today” I gave hosts Colleen Odegaard and Romona Holloway a few tips on when it’s time to get rid of that makeup that’s been sitting in the drawer just a little to long.  Take a look!

IS IT TIME TO TOSS YOUR MAKEUP?

(Note: These are standards that may differ depending on the quality, storage and ingredients of the products)

Cosmetic companies are not required to put expiration dates on beauty products although some brands do list them, most don’t. Using expired makeup can lead to serious skin irritation, breakouts, and infection.
So when is it time to let go of make up?

False eyelashes – Toss false eyelashes after every 3rd use!
Make up Brushes – If cared for properly, they can last forever!
Lipstick- Keep it for up to 2 years maybe more!
Foundation- Toss it after 6 months to 1 year.
Sunscreen – Toss it in 6 months to 1 year
Lip Liner Pencil – Keep it for up to 3 years if sharpened regularly
Eye Liner Pencil – Keep if for up to 3 years if sharpened regularly
Moisturizers and creams – 1 year
Disposable Make up sponges – Toss after 1 month
Mascara – Toss after 3-4 months
Eyeshadow – Powder, Keep up to 3 years / Cream, Toss after 6 months
Powders – Keep up to 2 years
Concealers – Keep to 12 months
Nail Polish – Toss at 18 months
Perfume – Leave that one up to your noise!

There are some products out there to help extend the shelf life of cosmetic products like The Every Beauty Brand Beauty Spatula. It is reusable and washable and works on any shape or size bottle or container. Use this instead of fingers to remove product from jars and bottles. You’ll halt the growth of bacteria and it even helps save up to 25% on every beauty bottle and jar by retrieving the very last trapped product inside.

Koren Zander Pro Brush Soaps are deep conditioning brush soaps that are are rich in luxurious, deep moisturizing and conditioning oils including Argan and Brazilian Passion fruit Seed Oil. They are anti-bacterial. Foaming, moisturizing, and formulated with 5 different conditioners, these brush soaps will render any makeup brush super clean, and super soft. They can be used on on both Natural and Synthetic fibers. Directions: Wet your dirty brush and simply lather on one side of the soap using a back-and-forth sweeping motion, then use the loofah side to deep-clean and loosen makeup residue. Rinse, reshape the bristles, and dry the brushes flat.

These are some things we can do to help us remember when to toss our bad cosmetics?

Use a Sharpie type marker and write the date you bought the item on it’s container or box.

Keep a small notebook in your cosmetic drawer or medicine cabinet and note the dates of purchase there.

Some final tips include:

Use your nose and treat your cosmetics like you treat the food in your refrigerator, If it doesn’t smell right, toss it!

and…..Don’t share your make up items with anyone!

Photo Op: Fashion DC Style

I recently had a fabulous and  pretty glam time in Washington, DC at the 7-7-7 Fashion Series and 50th Anniversary Celebration of Lamborghini!

My bff Elizabeth Webster and I spent the evening at the Italian Embassy checking out hot cars, sampling wines and checking out the latest fashion creations by local Washington, DC area designers.

The runway show featured clothing by celebrity designer Steven McDermott for Stevie Mac (my new favorite!), Lili Forrest, Estella Couture, Stacey Barker, Cheri Fashions, LLC, Jacqueline Hutchinson, Occeus Couture and Anna Maria La Bianca Lifestyle Collections.
