Dear Friend,

Personal Note On A Personal Note...

Happy March! Only a few more days until spring! I hope it is warming up where you are. We are expecting one more snow here in New York City and then, I think we are in the clear.

We just found out this week that Starting Over was nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards; one for "Special Series" and one for editing. Everyone involved couldn't be happier. There is so much loving effort that goes into producing the show and changing women's lives. I am thrilled that the show has been validated in this way. Congratulations to everyone involved, I am keeping my fingers crossed!

My frantic February is over and I can't thank you all enough for your warm thoughts and well wishes. I received so many loving emails that kept me inspired all month long. My special Chicago project was pushed back a bit, but promises to be super fabulous when I make it to the WINDY CITY and makeover my patient, yet to be announced, winner. I can't wait!

If you have been planning to set sail with me this October for the Cents of Style Cruise to the Cayman Islands and Jamaica (WooHoo!) you need to get those deposits in. Cabins are almost taken. The response has been great and I am soooooo excited! My toes curl and a smile bursts onto my face every time I think about it. We are going to have a blast!

Sale Rack
Sale Rack

March is often a great month to shop the sale rack for trousers and pants. The stores are currently stocked with regular/full price skirts and dresses, because women tend to wear more of those in the spring and summer, so the pants get pushed to the sale rack. When you hit the sale rack looking for bargain britches remember:
  • To optimize your money, shop for fabrics that you can wear all year long (i.e., tropical wool, poly blends, heavier cotton blends, gabardines, etc,).
  • Skip the pleats - Pleats were created so that men would have a place to put their golf balls while on the course. Most women do not need the extra fabric and ballooning around the middle that pleats create.
  • NO tapered legs - A straight legged pant that cleanly falls from the largest part of your bottom is always a much more flattering option.
  • No high waist - A high waist pant brings attention to your tummy. The best fit is a waist that falls just around the belly button.

Have You Tried...

Seche Base and Seche Vite Nail Coating For a while now I've heard about the super powers of Seche Vite Fast Drying Top Coat, but I never indulged because of the $8 price tag. Buying a special top coat seemed like an unnecessary expense considering my manicure included the salon brand for free. While getting a manicure last month the lady next to me had her own bottles of Seche Base and Seche Vite which she enthusiastically claimed made a huge difference in the longevity of her manicure. She sweetly let me use her Seche products to try them out... and she was right. My manicure looked great for seven days without a chip. It seems that this Seche Vite patented formula allows it to penetrate to the base coat forming a single, solid bond for a much more durable manicure which will not discolor or yellow. I am hooked!

Zip Lock Bags saved me from the cooties!

After a righteous lotion explosion in my luggage a few years ago, I started packing all of my health and beauty products in zip-lock bags for protection. As I watched ungloved airport security dig through my carry-on goodies a few trips back, I thought... eeeeewwww; then I realized that if I put all of my questionables in a zip-lock bag, the probers could see everything without touching it! This tighty trick has shaved minutes from my security check.
