Pumkpins are beautiful too!

When buying beauty product you often hear about the benefits of stuff like cucumber, melons, and of course the classic aloe. But you never hear about the added benefits of pumpkins in make-up and health care products. That is why I think this being the season of pumpkins it might be the right time to talk about pumpkin beauty products. Check out one of my favorites below.





These pumpkin soaps are made with a traditional process that really allows you to smell like the season. Of course they are way tooo expensive for a normal purchase, but they might make a nice gift for grandma or mom.

Christmas Card

Well unlike most people I like to get my holiday work done earlier to make sure that I have everything covered well in advance of the actual Christmas Day. That said I don't wait until November 25th like some people to get my holiday cards together and send out. Of course I am not going to send them to later, but it takes time to address and stamp all of these bad boys so I have already ordered the cards that I want and I am going to be ready for the holidays before October is over this year. See below for my holiday card for 2008.

The Fall Boots are In!

So the fall season of boots are in and I think that black leather (shiny) is the new gold standard for all those women that want to get out there with their skirts in the cold fall weather. Here is a pair of boots that i absolutely will be buying this season when I get the money for it...



please god make sure the UGG boots go away this season...

The Best Fashionable Lamps

So sometimes I forget that fashion is a part of our homes as much as it is apart of our bodies. That is why I love seeing things like this that talk about some of the amazing advances in design that some people have been able to bring to the world of home design. Personally I would get the Titanic Lamp...



See all 40 of these really cool lamps here:

Beauty Software Hits the Mainstream

Well an Israel software development firm has started to bring a software platform to the mainstream that basically allows you to see what you would look like if your face conformed to the standard of beauty that scientists have come up with over the years. I am not very happy about this because for one it believes that there is only one standard of beauty and two it makes people yearn for unattainable goals and ideas of personal beauty. Each person needs to be happy and love the person that they are now, plastic surgery and injections will not repair the insecurities in your mind and soul and will only make a person feel like more a fake. Own who you are and demand that fashion be the expression of your inner self. Don't use cheap tricks and ideas to cover up what clay you've been given, work with it and celebrate it!

Culver City

Since every where else in LA seems to be over done I guess it was about time that they redid Culver City so that it is now the center of attention to the IT crowd in LA. Now little clubs and restaurants are popping up everywhere to serve the fashion people and the movie people that LA seems to teem with. One side of me thinks this is great because I love urban development, turning nothing into something. But the other part of me and admittedly the more powerful of my feelings hates to see the character of Culver City get absorbed in the larger beast that is greater LA. It is just another little town that has now been swallowed by the encroaching sands of the glitz and glamor desert.

Campaign Make-up

One thing that is really amazing about politics is that it is about policy, but it is also about image. The president candidates have to look presidential, which goes from their suit to their face. Yes most men don't wear make-up but you can bet your bottom dollar that Obama and McCain are wearing make-up. The difference is the type of message each is trying to send with the make-up. For McCain, the make-up is about showing LIFE, he needs to seem young, viral and ready for anything that comes at him. Look below, would you think he is in his 70s or maybe just late 50s? That is the power of make-up for McCain



Obama is a little different. He is young, so he needs to look stately and ready for action. That means no greasy spots on the forward like he feels like he has pressure on him, more about a matte feel to his entire face. Also, even though he is younger they need to keep just a HINT of gray in his hair, just enough to look experienced but not enough to make him seem like he is aging. He needs to look like he has the energy to change the world.



I personally like Obama's make-up just a bit more because it is less about concealing and more about bringing out his features.

Breast Cancer Postage Support

Just in case you didn't know, this month is Breast Cancer Awareness month were we all do what we can to support research and awareness generation for Breast Cancer. I think that this is a great cause because honestly this illness can infect men and women alike (even though it is more common in women). That is why I am in support of this breast cancer postage that helps drive awareness and all the proceeds go to fighting the disease. Check out some of the cool designs below.

Celeb Tattoos

I haven't gotten any ink (yet) but I do think about it all the time. I was checking out instyle and I really like the section they have on celebrity tattoos (http://www.instyle.com/instyle/package/general/photos/0,,20214895_20226051,00.html?cid=newsletter-parties). I think the theme that most celebrities go with is small, concealable and foreign tattoos. I dig that trend so that is what I will do if I ever get around to getting my own...
