OK, so I’ve been postless for a while now. Sorry! I think I came down with a summer it’s-too-hot-in-Arizona-to-function bug. But I am on the mend, boosted by my upcoming trip to Los Angeles, where I get to spend most of June.
So with the beach in mind and AZ’s STRONG sun still in my face, […]
In the next issue of East West, we’re focusing on Ginseng for beauty. So I’m currently on a quest for the best products infused with this Eastern root/herb. So far we’ve honed in on this toner from Fresh.
Why Ginseng? Because of its healing and strengthening properties. While not scientifically proven, some say it works well […]
Yet another Friday, and still, no Friday night date. Alas.
But my horoscope encourages me to socialize this weekend, so I am primping and prepping for a Girl’s Night Out with local pals.
And trust me, I am in dire need of the beauty work, especially around the eyes.
My adorable Lhasa Apso, Cody, took a stumble down […]
The book “Japanese Women Don’t Get Old or Fat” came out last year, and I’ve had it laying around since then, but I needed a reminder (read: I’ve put on the pounds recently).
So here is one for both of us:
“As our collective girth keeps growing, some experts suggest we take a cue from other cultures […]
Who doesn’t love Sephora?
Turns out if you order from them by today, Mom can still get it in time for Mother’s Day. So act fast.
And while they have a plethora of products to choose from, I highly recommend checking out the line of Fresh products in stock. Fresh is truly a mix of East and […]
I love Zhen cosmetics because they really know skin tones. I am still debating if my skin matches best with their almond color or the cashew color, but don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining. It is actually a luxury to get to choose between several yellow-toned foundations that will actually work with my skin, […]
My love of food is great. But my primary skill in this arena is eating and not food knowledge or trivia.
Take rice for example.
I know there are many varieties, I know I prefer brown over white for its nutty crunch and I know I love the convenience of those 90-second rice pouches (amazing!). But I […]
One of my friends is local spa expert who appears on the small screen regularly with tips of the trade. She’s quite the pro. But when it came time to do a segment on a movement in Eastern beauty, she ran into a slight problem…she couldn’t pronounce the word! Even with practice, it was a […]
I woke up this morning with a frizz attack. Sure, it’s not uncommon for me, someone that used to be called Triangle Head in high school because of my out of control, poofy locks, but still, it was disconcerting.
It was time to fall back on mother’s wisdom. Oil to the rescue.
Putting oil in your locks […]
I live in Arizona, and needless to say it is already hot, hot, hot. Yes, it’s a dry heat, but all that really means is that my skin is starved for moisture.
But whining equals wrinkles (or so my mother says) so I’ve sought out a cure. And with a simple OM, OM, OM chant and […]
