I love beauty. I love beautiful things, beautiful people, beautiful blogs, and absolutely adore blogs about beauty.
A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by the friendly, fabulous people over at EndlessBeauty.com and they asked if I’d be interested in being in their Blogger Spotlight.
Um, you bet your pretty face I would!
Have you seen this website? I was sold when I read their tag line: “A Healthier Approach to Beauty.” EB, marry me? K thanks.
Speaking of their videos, check out this Pin-Up Girl Makeup Tutorial from their site! I’m LOOOVING it. Totally rocking this look for the weekend!
Cute, right? TONS more on their site!!
Now, get this…
On Wednesday, I was their featured blogger {{eeeek!}} – you can check that outhere.
Today, they’re featuring one of my favorite blogger girls,Coastal Chick! See her article here and check out her blog here.
I may be biased, but I do have to say that they have an impeccable taste in bloggers. :: wink ::
Be sure to stop by and visit them!! They’re kind of my new crush. While you’re on EB, leave some heartfelt comments on any of the posts you like to show the love. DO IT! I mean, if you feel like it.
Tell me, lovely friends, where on the world wide interwebs do you go for fabulous beauty reading? Do share in the comments!
Smooches!

It was last years Yoga Month that really opened up the yoga studio doors to me – and it’s been amazing. Also, I’m lucky enough to live in a community that is full of yogis and an incredible amount of yoga studios – there’s truly a studio for everyone here.
So,why does Yoga need it’s own month??
National Yoga Month September 2010 invites all styles of yoga to participate in an awareness campaign designed to educate about the many benefits of yoga and inspire our fellow citizens to live healthier, happier lives.
Every year in the month of September, the entire yoga community comes together to spread the word and offers opportunities for people to give it a try and experience something amazing. There are over 1500 free classes & events going on around the nation all through the month of September for YOU to take advantage of. In addition to that, over 1200 studios are offering an entire week of yoga for FREEEEEE during the month, so find one near you! Use this to test drive several studios around you to see which one fits and “feels right” to you.
Not in to public display of yoga? No problem. Lucky for you, one of my absolute favorite yogis, Tara Stiles, has a new book that just released YESTERDAY {{{ aaaaahhhhhhh!! }}. Slim Calm Sexy Yoga is the 15-minute yoga solution for feeling and looking your best from head to toe AND you canfind it on Amazon now.
Why yoga?
Incredible health benefits, both physically and mentally. Plus, it makes for a fun evening out with the girlfriends. ;)
Yoga has been researched extensively and is know to have a wide range of health benfits for body, mind, spirit:
Lower blood pressure
Decreased stress
Greater flexibility (not just physically!)
Enhanced brain function
Lower cholesterol
Better skeletal alignment
Strengthened bones/joints
Improved respiration
Weight Loss
Enhanced circulation
Easier transition
through menopause
Deeper peace of mind
Don’t anger the Yoga Gods…
For an entertaining and pretty real look at what your first time with the yoga mat might be like, take a read through Jessica’s first experience onher blog.

When I typed that title, it occurred to me that I had already used it once before in a post involving narcotics and cat nip. Um, yea. This tells me two things about myself: I really love watermelon.
