How to make New Years resolutions: A few tips

  

    The new year is quickly approaching and with it (once our hangovers have faded!), endless opportunities for positive change and growth! May this opportune time of year year be a springboard to make some necessary (and some simply desired) life changes. A staggering percentage of people across the nation have reported that their  resolutions consist of a better diet and more exercise. Now while those goals are fantastic, we want to offer you some additional all-encompassing resolution tips of our own in order to help you better formulate yours! Happy resolution-making and more importantly, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 

1. Don't let a week go by (even better if not even a day!) without telling someone you love them...out loud. Pets count. So does your reflection. :)

2. For every time someone initiates, initiate twice.

3. Write down the five things you are most grateful for. Put it someplace where you will see it every day.

4.  In order to save more, you have to just buy less. Are you really ever going to wear those super random shoes that are on sale?

5. Get a "good decision" piggy bank. Give yourself a dollar every time you do something difficult such as go the gym, get a good grade or a positive review, or make a difficult phone call. Then at the end of the year, use that money to buy yourself a "good decision" gift. You've earned it.

6.  If you can't find something decent to watch in TV, turn if off and read a book instead. Or this blog. :)

7. Rock out at least once a week in your undies a la Cameron Diaz in the opening scene of Charlie's Angels. Bonus points if you have the superman booty shorts.

8. All together now: NO DRUNK TEXTING OF EXES!!! ...Or tweeting...or status-updating...etc. etc.

9. Make it a point to have quality girl time, i.e. coffee, shopping, a night out, etc.- at least once a week.

10. Start a journal. Write down whatever pops into your head first. If you can't think of anything, start off with writing down five reasons why you would want to date yourself.

11. Visit a place (even if it's local!) you've never been to before.

12. Stay informed. That means reading the newspaper and watching the news.

13. Finally pick up that new hobby that you've been meaning to for a while yet never found the time, whether it's learning a new language, playing the guitar, or learning how to surf. Make the time; you won't regret it.

14. Do something that scares you, i.e. bungee jump, take a bold fashion risk, or finally ask your boss for that long overdue raise.

15. Volunteer. Whether it's helping battered women, the homeless, or abandoned pets, taking the focus off ourselves makes us more empathetic and human.

16. Donate all the old clothes you no longer want or fit in because you've been exercising :) This is also the perfect excuse to make room for new clothes. :)

17. Become more eco-friendly by reducing your carbon footprint. Recycle, start a carpool to conserve gas (or even ride a bike if possible!), and participate in trash clean-up days.

18. Once a week, reconnect via phone or e-mail with someone you haven't spoken to in a while.

19. Promise yourself to emotionally let go of any negative influences in your life, whether it be a guy, a co-worker, or a "friend." These people will only succeed in bringing you down and making your life miserable- not what 2010 is about!

20. View the glass as half full...always.

And with that we raise a glass to you, our dear readers! May 2010 bring you all the love, peace, success, and joy that you so very much deserve!!! Have a blast tomorrow night, but as usual, play kindly and safely! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

How to wear ripped jeans

     From washed out, to baggy boyfriend, to super skinny- distressed denim is back, and we're loving every minute of it!

     What we don't love quite as much is when girls ruin this full-of-potential trend by wearing their ripped up jeans with baggy sweaters, flannels, or Ugg boots- making the look more hick as opposed to hot. How to pull it off right?

                                                    Here's how:


    1. Mix & match. Pulling off ripped up jeans this time around is all about mixing and matching. Pair feminine with masculine, casual with formal, and trendy with vintage.

    2. Day vs. night. Pair your distressed denim with pointy flats and either a flowy top or a fitted button-up shirt for a day look that is cute without trying too hard. You can dress up the same jeans at night by wearing them with a fancy top and sky-high stilettos.

   3. DIY. The awesome thing about this look is that while you can go out and buy pre-ripped jeans, it's also super easy to do yourself. Just get scissors and cut a few strategically-placed holes in an old pair, fray the edges, and voila! You're on point.

  4. Accessorize. Accessories can make an outfit. Additional accessories and pieces we love with ripped jeans: long necklaces, skinny belts, cropped fitted jackets, beanies, scarves, big sunglasses, big bags, chunky rings, and chunky platforms.

                                    
                            Check out the celebs who work the look:

Rip it up, girls.

How to beat the holiday bulge

     With the holidays now in full swing, it's not at all uncommon for people to cheat, if not ditch their diets all together during this (cursed!) time of year when there's amazing food everywhere! What with all the parties taking place, who wants to be the lone party pooper in the corner munching on celery sticks and sipping vitamin water while everyone else is merrily enjoying fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies and downing spiked eggnog? While it may be hard to avoid over-indulging during the holidays, here's how you can stay within the general ballpark range of your diet, so that when it comes time to make those New Year's resolutions, you'll only have to resolve to drop 20 pounds, not 200.      

    
                                                        Here's how: 

1. Keep moving, even after a big meal. We all know the inevitable cozy, sleepy feeling that creeps over us after a huge holiday meal. Now staying active doesn't mean bust out the Bowflex in the middle of the living room for a quick work out session, but it does mean you should keep moving in order to resist the call of sinking into a food coma on the nearest comfy couch from taking over. Helping clear dishes, getting drinks for everyone, or just taking a short walk will help keep your metabolism stimulated.

2. Snack. Yes, we are giving you permission to snack! The reason being that snacking can actually be helpful in staving off extra holiday poundage. Many of us will often hold off on eating all day in order to create extra room for the anticipated meal later that evening. However, if you starve yourself then eat, you'll end up consuming twice as many calories in your famished state as you normally would. By snacking wisely throughout the day (the key word here is wisely!), you'll be less likely to narf down absolutely everything that is set before you on the dinner table. Some smart snacks choices include fruits, nuts, and veggies.

3. Avoid sugar on an empty stomach. Consuming those ridiculously good sugary little devils (that come so sneakily disguised in the innocent form of snowflakes Christmas trees!) on an empty stomach is on par with eating Pringles- you can't have just one. And since the empty calories contained in sweets don't give your stomach the 'full' feeling that other protein and fiber-packed foods do, you will subconsciously feel the need to consume more in order to fill up. The best way to indulge in desserts is after a meal, making you less likely to eat as much since you are probably already somewhat full. So as addicting as those  miniature Snickers and wreath-shaped rice crispy treats may be, just remember that although they provide a few seconds of pleasure on your lips, it is for the high price of showing for a long time on your hips.

                                         (Ahhh my weakness! FML!)

4. Limit your alcohol intake. As much as we feel hypocritical for telling you to cut back, it is with good reason! Not only is alcohol super high in calories (especially those sugary girly drinks we love so much!), but it also gives you "beer munchies," making you way more likely to make 2 a.m. JBox runs once you've thrown back a few. Also, since alcohol is a toxin, the body will automatically want to dispense of it before digesting food, which means that food will sit in our stomachs longer, making our bodies more likely to store it as fat rather than use it as energy. So while I won't even argue the deliciousness of Bailey's peppermint hot chocolate or a holiday cranberry martini (see 'How to throw a kick ass holiday cocktail party' for the recipe! wink wink), I will argue that maybe we should slow up after the second our third one. Our thighs will thanks us later.

    Ultimately, the key to beating the holiday bulge comes down to exercising a little self-control and remembering to always indulge in moderation. Here's to keeping a belly that jiggles like a bowl full of jelly limited to old Saint Nick!

(That's right Santa, you eat them!)

How to look good in pictures

     
(You don't have to be a VS Angel to take pictures like one!)

     I've been getting a lot of complaints lately from girls who feel as though they are an optical illusion of sorts: They consider themselves to be fairly good-looking in person yet for some reason completely unbeknownst to them, somehow always manage to come out looking more than just slightly awful in pictures.

     All I can say is that I completely share in your unphotogenic pain! It takes me like 139823408234 tries to take just one even halfway decent picture. Luckily, when I take them on my own camera I can review them and delete all the unflattering ones- and believe me, I've done a lot of deleting.

     The real problem lies when the pictures are on other people's cameras...I am sometimes able to inconspicuously get my hands on them and delete the bad ones without anyone finding out- that is, until I'm caught in the act and threatened with a slow and painful death. It's just that seeing a million awful pictures of me is so depressing, and now thanks to facebook- where all your ugliest pictures can now be put on display for all the world to see- even more depressing! (All I can say is thank GOD for the untag button!)

    I would argue that people are generally always better in 3D (aka real life); however, when you're at a particular event where you simply cannot get out of having your picture taken, fear not, you no longer have to worry about being an optical illusion and can come out just as beautiful on camera as you are in person.

                                                   Here's how:

1. Good posture. Standing up straight by throwing your shoulders back and sucking in your gut makes you instantly look five inches taller and five pounds thinner- never a bad thing! Also, by placing your hand on your hip, your arm will look automatically more taut and toned- also never a bad thing!

2. Make-up. The type of make-up you are wearing most definitely affects picture quality. Putting on a nude gloss will wash you out, while too bright or too matte of a shade can end up making you look like a clown. Applying a pretty plum colored gloss is flattering for everybody, as the color is vibrant without being obnoxious, and the gloss refracts the light from the flash. Also, make sure to put on powder, especially if you've been dancing and are sweaty, as you will come out looking much shinier than you actually are due to the flash.

3. Head position. Tilting your chin slightly downward and looking up at the camera with your eyes is generally a flattering angle for all women that will accentuate your eyes and smile. You can also experiment with turning your head slightly to one side while tilting your chin down in order to highlight a "good side" haha

4. Snap the pics before shooting the shots. Take pictures before drinking, as doing so afterwards may result in some sloptastic snapshots that are hilarious yet rarely hot! Also, no matter how wide you try to open your eyes or how bright the flash is, your eyes will always droop in drunken pics.

5. Have fun. Remember that pictures are simply that, and that even the hottest models take horrible pictures sometimes. In reality, it comes down to a numbers game in which the ratio of bad pictures is generally significantly higher than the good ones, making us that much more appreciative of the few and far between good ones. Either way, don't try too hard or it will show- and more importantly, have fun! After all, you can always steal your friends' cameras and delete the bad ones...


Be crazy, sexy, cool, gals. 

How to tell if a guy is into you

    (Joseph Gordon- Levitt & Zooey Deschanel in 500 Days of Summer) 

     He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me....he loves me!  If you are anything like me, you've, ahem, found yourself forced to cheat from time to time on this little flower petal game by perhaps skipping over a few or pulling off two at a time in order to achieve your desired outcome.

     Juvenile flower petal game or not, I think it's safe to say we've all experienced some level of angst wondering about whether the object of our affection feels the same way we do as we lie awake at night staring up at the ceiling and turning the thought of his dimpled smile or the way he totally texted us to ask for someone else's number over and over in our minds...What could it mean? Surely he could have asked someone else for Brenda's number instead? Surely he must have done it simply as an excuse to talk to me? Yep, the verdict is clear: We are in love!!!

     So then two weeks later when you hook up with him to consummate your eternal love then never hear from him again because he's hitting up Brenda, don't say we didn't warn you...

     Girls, the harsh reality is the following: If he calls you late at night to 'hang out,' that generally means he is in love with your ass, not you, and will only remain in love with your ass until that moment in time when you give it up to him...It sucks, we know, we just want to protect you from evil boys using and abusing you; and let's face it, all guys really seem to want at this stage in the game is to use and abuse.

     However, that's not at all to say that there aren't a few sweethearts out there (somewhere?) that make it all worth the effort. The fundamental question that remains then is how do we go about differentiating between your average douche bag and a genuine gentleman that actually is worth the effort?

     The good news is that a few subtle yet surefire giveaways exist that trump all sweet talk and corny one-liners commonly used to try to coax us into the sack that not even the best player can conceal, letting you know he is genuinely that into you. How can you tell?  

                                                Here's how:


1.. He texts or calls you back within seconds of you contacting him, which also generally indicates that he was anticipating your call like a puppy waiting for a bone.
2. He pays when you go out even if he's broke and gets upset if you offer to pay.
3. He pretends he's not cold so he can give you his jacket when you're cold (and still forces you to wear it even after you say no).
4. He introduces you to his friends and isn't afraid to be affectionate with you in front of them.
5. He sets his facebook default pic to one of both of you.
6. He treats you like a lady by opening doors or walking on the outside of the sidewalk, proving that chivalry is not dead- Yay!
7. He's willing to make an ass of himself-You love to dance, he hates it and has zero rhythm yet takes you out salsa dancing anyway, knowing full well there's a good chance you might not like him after you've seen him look like a complete idiot.
8. He indulges you. He goes out of his way to bring you Starbucks every morning- and you didn't even ask!
9. When you are out together, he is totally focused on you, not scoping out the girl at the next table, the waitress, the bus boy...
10. When you talk he looks at your face, not your chest- even if you are wearing something semi-revealing.
11. He remembers even the random things you say in conversation and brings them up later.
12. He understands your mannerisms and nuances so well that he can determine what you're feeling before you've even said a word and goes out of his way to cheer you up when he knows you're having a bad day.
13. He laughs a lot at the things you do and say, but always in a I'm-laughing-because-I-think-you're-so-cute kind of way, not a wow-that-was-dumb kind of way.
14. He calls you beautiful, pretty or cute; not hot or sexy.
15. He likes you au'naturale. He finds you just as attractive when you're lounging around in sweats and a t-shirt with no make-up on as when you're all dolled up.
16. He appreciates your dorky side. Not only does he find your love for Twilight or your coke bottle glasses among your many other quirks cute, but they're what he likes most about you.
17. He believes in your dreams and fully supports them, no matter how random: "Baby, I want to be an astronaut..."
18. He takes one for the team by suffering through watching Grey's with you or shopping for your grandma with you for five hours when the Lakers game is on.
19. He comes through. He calls when he says he'll call and shows up when he says he will, showing you that he is dependable and doesn't plan on bailing anytime soon.
20. He does it himself. Rather than buying you a pre-made, insufferably cheesy hallmark card, he makes one for you, writes you a poem, or plays "In Your Eyes" while holding up a boombox outside your window...It could happen...right?

How to apply liquid eyeliner

     It's so hot when done right, but a hot mess when done wrong. Liquid eyeliner defines eyes for a more dramatic and longer-lasting look than regular pencil eyeliners can provide, making it a popular hit with the ladies. Now if we only knew how to use it.  What's the trick to this big girl magic marker? We'll show you.

                                                     Here's how: 


1. First pick your liquid eyeliner. We recommend choosing one that's quick-drying in order to avoid smudges and that has a pointer brush for precision that will help you draw an even line. In terms of color, brown, black and violet liquid liners generally suit every eye color and skin tone. A personal fav is L'oreal's Telescopic precision liquid eyeliner in black because of it's pointed brush, which allows for precision and line thickness control.

2. Before you start applying make sure to have some cotton balls and eye makeup remover on hand in case of any mistakes. Also, apply any foundation, powder or eyeshadow on eyelids before you apply eyeliner, as doing so after may smudge or fade the line.

3. Shake the tube.

4. When you are ready to apply, hold your eyelid down taught.

• If you're a beginner, it's not a bad idea to use pencil eyeliner first then go over it with the liquid eyeliner, which is simply a matter of re-tracing the line you already drew.
  
• For the more advanced liquid eyeliner users, start with a very thin line as close to your lashes as possible in the middle of your eyelid, and following the natural curve of your lash line, slowly work your way to the outer corner of your eye, gradually making the line thicker as you go. 
• Then go back and this time slowly work your way from the inner corner of your eye to the center where your started your first line, making the two lines connect.
  
• The line should always be thinnest at the inner corner of your eyes and thickest at the outer corners. If you need to reapply a few times until the line is as thick as you'd like it to be, that's totally ok, just make sure you don't open your freaking eye until it's dry!
  

5. Line the bottom lids only from the outer corners to the middle of the pupil with a pencil liner of the same color as opposed to liquid liner, as liquid liner will smudge on bottom lids (not to mention burn the crap out of your eyes!) due to the eye's moisture.

6. Curl lashes and apply two coats of black mascara.

And there you have it. A dramatic look perfect for a night on the town that will have people eyeing you! (Get it? Ok that was bad). Either way, you will look gorgeous darling, gorgeous!

How to do an amazing at home facial

     Why spend hundreds of your hard-earned dollars on expensive facials and creams when you don't have to look any further than your own kitchen for some of nature's finest and most effective skin products?

     My great aunts are in their 80s, have absolutely flawless skin, and have never had a professional facial in their lives! I have, however, walked into their house many times to find them sitting at the kitchen table with honey, eggs, and other random household goods all over their faces. I can laugh all I want, but whatever they're doing, it works. When my face recently started breaking out like crazy (thank you, stress!) I finally asked them to divulge their tried & true home remedies, and they were all too happy I finally came around.

     Here is a mask that is super easy to make, super easy to use, and will leave any skin type feeling ridiculously soft and refreshed.

                                                            Here's how:


1. You will need an orange, sugar, and green tea. Oranges and green tea are chock full of vitamins and anti-oxidants, which help protect our skin against free radicals- the agents such as pollution, sun, smoke, etc. which all essentially cause our skin to look like crap. Sugar is an exfoliant, which helps shed the dead top layer of skin to reveal the smoother layers underneath.

2. Cut an orange in half and pour sugar on one of the halves. Rub all over your face and neck for 5 minutes. Let mask sit for 20 minutes.

3. While you have orange and sugar all over your face, brew green tea and let it sit until it cools.

4. After the 20 minutes are up, rinse your face with the cooled green tea.

And ta-daaa! Skin that is radiant and smooth, and it didn't cost you a dime. Sweeeet.

           More amazing at home facials to come...!

3. Ambiance. Last but hardly least, you need to create your party's ambiance, which ultimately is everything. Start bringing your party's sexy vibe to life by dimming the lights and lighting large cranberry, cinnamon, or vanilla scented candles. An alternative for those who are less coordinated around ignited objects (and know their drunk friends will be too, for that matter) would be to string white Christmas lights or hang paper lanterns, both of which provide for a glamorous holiday party milieu. Decorate couches with deep red throw pillows and place poinsettias on tables, as they are festive without being over-the-top. And finally yet very importantly, don't forget the music! Down-tempo lounge music is perfect for the occasion, with our personal favorites being any of the Swinging Martini, Hotel Costes, Cafe Del Mar, or Chill Out Ibiza mixes (all available on iTunes).  For those who want exclusively holiday tunes, we recommend turning on any of Frank Sinatra's, Bing Crosby's or Dean Martin's Christmas compilations, also available on iTunes.

You are now ready to host the sexiest party of the season!
Cocktail away, our friends!

*While you are having a blast this holiday season, all we ask is that you play safely, kindly and responsibly, and that you please look out for one another.

Happy Holidays dolls!
