Just noticed the Emjoi AP-66T Clear Skin at Amazon.com for $25.92 (regular price $50). I haven’t tried it, but seems like a good deal for a no-frills phototherapy device for acne.

Apple’s Black Friday Sale

Head over to Apple.com for their 1-day Savings event. The deals cover a ton of their stock and include iPods and software, as well as Macs. I have my eye on an iPod Shuffle for the gym – I love my Nano but even that is a little cumbersome when I’m working out! And I think it would be awesome as a scarf clip.

Wedding Guest Tip: Make Sure You Are Always HD Picture-Ready, Part 1

Style Chicks — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 02:25:23 +0000

It always happens to me at weddings – the photographer comes out of nowhere and wants to take your picture just as you are headed to the ladies room to fix up your makeup. And worse yet, wedding photographers and videographers now wield HD cameras.

So, you may want to consider some tricks that stars are turning to in order to try to combat the ever-critical HD lens. In order to keep your skin looking wrinkle-free, luminous, and yes, not oily, try a light-diffusing powder. Basically the harsh light of a flash or strobe will bounce off your skin in a non-uniform pattern, thus creating a soft-lens effect – even if the photographer isn’t carrying a single soft-focus lens with him.

If this idea appeals to you, you may want to check out Make Up For Ever High Definition Microfinish Powder. Don’t let the snow-white color of the powder scare you off – the talc-free formulation goes on invisible regardless of your skin tone – simply giving you a flawless, wrinkle/oil/blemish free look – and it makes your skin look like you have an inner glow. Find it at Sephora.com for $30, and through the month of June, you can get free shipping with code C125P9 at checkout.

College Students – Get a free iPod Nano or iPod Touch when you buy a new Mac for school

I adore my 3rd Gen iPod nano - I didn’t think I’d like it as much as I do. The picture is crystal clear – it’s better than my tv! There are TV shows that I’ve watched on TV as well as on my laptop, and I’ve caught details on my Nano that I haven’t caught on the other two screens.

Apple is running a special if you are headed off to college soon – buy a Mac for and get a free iPod touch or Nano. If you order online you’ll get free shipping. What a great excuse for getting a new computer!

Since earrings and ear buds don’t really mix, you might as well have shimmer on your ear buds. JC Penny is offering Bling Ear Buds for $3.99 (reduced from $24.99) in Blue, Ligth Gray, and Pink. They also have Bling Ipod Cases around $4.99 – reminds me of a Jalda case I got for my shuffle from Neiman Marcus a bit back.

PhotoDoto has a great article on how to take a good self portrait . Some tips I hadn’t thought of – and if any of them work, that will be the first good picture I will have taken of myself…

Shaping up with Jerry Seinfeld

Style Chicks — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 23:29:15 +0000

This is a cool idea. Ever have a paper calender that you X off the days until a big event, the remaining days of school, etc? Here’s an interesting twist: instead of the number of days until something occurs, use the Xs to mark your progress towards a goal. Same thing basically. This site lets you mark off the days you work towards your goal – working out, perhaps? Eating healthy? There’s a million ways to go with this.

It’s called a Seinfeldian Chain. What does marking off days on a calender have to do with Jerry Seinfeld? Read about it here.

This is also a good way to have a reward system in place for yourself. If you keep up the chain for 5/7/10 days etc, have incremental rewards for yourself. A new CD, a single song from iTunes, a massage, a fudge sundae – it will be easier to keep your goal in front of you if you see the smaller rewards you get along the way.

Whether it’s exerise, eating right, or just counting down the days until the end of school, keep up that chain!
