Inexpensive Massages - Student Clinics at Massage Institutes

December 7th, 2007 by PG Chic


If you are someone who likes frequent massages, you may want to consider going to a student massage clinic for $35 one-hour massages. I have never been, but the women that I know who go admit it’s a mixed bag…you could get a really good student masseuse or someone who may need a little work (or new career path…lol). :) But, for $35 it may be worth it.

Mystery Shopper: Peculiar Ladies Dress Shop at The Blvd. in Largo, MD

November 29th, 2007 by PG Chic


I hadn’t been to The Blvd. in a while and just discovered a new store near Nine West and Ann Taylor Loft called Peculiar Ladies Dress Shop. The staff was friendly and helpful. Also, the selection of dress styles (and other clothing) was current. I will definitely return especially when I am looking for unique evening wear. I am deciding on what to do for New Year’s Eve now. (The Inner Causus Gala is always fun.) Anway, I’m sure I will be able to find a suitable dress at Peculiar Ladies Dress Shop for the event.

Side - On my search for Dr. Susan Taylor’s Rx for Brown Skin last weekend, I went to the new Sephora at Annapolis Mall. I was disappointed that the Westfield Annapolis Sephora did not have Rx for Brwon Skin. More disappointing was that they did not sell Carol’s Daughter either. The sales reps showed me another product that was an arm and a leg, but I passed. My heart was set on Dr. Susan Taylor’s Rx for Brown Skin. I should have know. I am going back to my plan to buy the products online.

Dr. Susan C. Taylor’s Rx for Brown Skin at Sephora

Email To Friend Email To Friend

November 9th, 2007 by PG Chic


When I make my rounds to Sephora, I always pick up a Carol’s Daughter product (gotta’ love Almond Cookie). Now I also can pick up from Sephora - Dr. Susan Taylor’s Rx for Brown Skin (debuted at Sephora September 2007). I heard Dr. Taylor on the Steve Harvey Morning Show answering basic demotology questions. Based in Philadelphia, PA, Dr. Taylor is a graduate of Harvard Medical School and author of the 2004 book Brown Skin: Dr. Susan Taylor’s Prescription for Flawless Skin, Hair, and Nails.

 

You can pre-order her new book (to be released January 2, 2008) here: Dr. Susan Taylor’s Rx for Brown Skin: Your Prescription for Flawless Skin, Hair, and Nails.

 

Dr. Susan Taylor's Rx for Brown Skin

I am in the process of switching my basic skin care products and will try Dr. Taylor’s skin care regimen next—Bright and Healthy, Bright and Clear, or Bright and Even. There is a skin survey on the Dr. Susan Taylor’s Rx for Brown Skin Web site that helps select which regiment to follow. I will try the Bright and Health skin regimen for a couple of weeks and report back!

 

Side note — I have to mention, of course, there is no Sephora in Prince George’s County, MD (in Maryland just Annapolis (Anne Arundel), Bethesda (Montgomery), and Columbia (Howard); for DC just one in Georgetown; and three in Northern Virginia). Maybe I’ll start buying my products online exclusively. As much money as I spend at the Sephora in Montgomery Mall…hmm.

Kimora’s Life in the Fab Lane - Style Network

Email To Friend Email To Friend

November 5th, 2007 by PG Chic


I finally had a chance to catch some of Kimora’s Life in the Fab Lane show on the Style Network. I wonder if she’s really like this in real life or is she being “extra” for the camera. I heard that she said Russell Simmons made her the way she is from a young age, whatever that means. I’ve seen Kimora on the Tyra show and she can be “fabulous” (and you know what I mean by that…lol). Anyway, she is over the top! Check out a few YouTube clips from the show…

 

 

 

Just FYI — I never followed Kimora that much to realize she had a nose job…

Chanel Iman - New Model / Tyra mentoring

November 2nd, 2007 by PG Chic


Have you seen the new, upcoming model Chanel Iman? I have heard Tyra talking about her before and saw her on the Tyra show with her mother recently. She is only 17 years old and taking the fashion industry by storm–she was on the cover of Vogue last Spring (youngest ever). Her heritage is African American and Korean. It is not surprising that Tyra has taken Chanel under her wing and is mentoring her. Check out coverage of Chanel Iman at http://www.style.com/.

October 23rd, 2007 by PG Chic


Did anyone catch the cover of Essence Keyshia Cole (October 2007 issue)? I am looking at the glitter nails that Keyshia is wearing. Also, gold glitter are were also showcased on p. 35. I am trying to find out how to create the look on my own. Otherwise, anyone know of a nail sop that does the glitter nails?
