Full Of Glitz and Glamour Get the Great Gatsby Look

May 10, 2013 by Cari Bee · Leave a Comment

Full of glitz, glamour, ornate details, and a true style all its own – what girl wouldn’t want “The Great Gatsby” look? Whether you are looking to enjoy a casual Gatsby themed garden party or don your most glamorous look at a fabulous cocktail evening, there are plenty of ways with ModCloth to add a flapper-esque flair to any look this spring/summer.

Details, details, details. Epaulets, pearls, rhinestones, and sequins were highly used during this time period to add glitz to an evening outfit.
Slender silhouettes. While you could still see a full skirt, long hemline, and high neck, the robe de style dress featuring a drop waist and straight cut was the most popular style.
Haute headpieces. To top off the entire look, add a whimsical & decadent headpiece from ModCloth. You can even DIY a fabulous headband with ribbon, feathers, and gemstones!

For more tips & tricks to achieve the perfect flapper-esque look, you can visit the ModStylists here: ModCloth ModStylists Will Style You Up!. The ModStylists can put together a look-book specifically for you!

Hair Removal By Nair Gets You Smooth For Summer In Three Simple Steps #nairsummer #sp

May 3, 2013 by Cari Bee · Leave a Comment

With summer around the corner, that means it’s time for sundresses, swimsuits,high waisted short shorts and overall, showing off more skin. The best accessories a pinup has are her long gorgeous legs so why not get them photo shoot ready? Nair products provide professional results at home for staying smooth all summer long – at a fraction of what you’d pay at a salon. Just because you look like a million doesn’t mean you have to spend it on hair removal.

As amazing as she is, this isn’t your grandma’s Nair. Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Total Care Body Trio and Face Trio are the new depilatories to join the popular Brazilian Spa Clay Line inspired by the beauty secrets and hair removal expertise of Brazil. Each product is infused with mango butter and açai berry known to moisturize the skin, and mineral-rich clay known to purify the skin. And they smell good, too.

Do you have some unwanted facial hair? Don’t worry, Nair has a new 3-step for you and me that won’t irritate our precious skin.

The Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Total Care™ Face Trio is the first 3-step depilatory for the face with a suggested retail price of $13.99.

Step 1: The first step is the pre-balm, which coats the skin to help minimize irritation and redness

Step 2: The second step is the depilatory. There’s no drying time so you can apply the depilatory immediately after using the pre-balm.

Step 3: After removing the depilatory product, apply the moisturizer, which is similar to a typical facial moisturizer. This will help neutralize the pH of the skin, bringing it back to the normal level.

It’s all about the legs! Show off those high-waisted sailor shorts all summer long, but only if their smooth and silky. The newest 3-step from Nair is like a spa in your shower. Ahhhh…

Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Shower Total Care™ Body Trio is the only 3-step in-shower depilatory system, including the convenient Nair Shower Power® technology that works while you shower. The suggested retail price is $13.99.

Step 1: The pre-wipe contains mineral oil and chamomile to prepare your skin before removing hair.

Step 2: Apply the depilatory, which is resistant to water through emollients similar to those found in waterproof sunscreens so it will resist runoff while you shower. Keep the area out of the direct stream of water.

Step 3: After the hair is removed, apply soothing post-use gel with Aloe Vera for a perfect finish.

What Coffee Goes Best With Your Breakfast?

March 12, 2013 by Cari Bee · Leave a Comment

Don’t laugh, but I have found, that the right coffee can change your breakfast. Much like the right wine, pairs best with certain dinners, coffees pair well with different meals. Eggs, pastries, or oatmeal all have their own best fit first thing in the morning.

Oatmeal is a classic way to start the day – simple, filling and hearty. Topped with some fresh fruit and almonds or walnuts and honey, its flavor goes from bland to grand. This mild-flavored breakfast food goes well with a lightly roasted coffee like Eight O’Clock Coffee’s French Vanilla or Hazelnut. Eight O’Clock Coffee Roaster Brewing Tip: Mix half a serving of Ground Hazelnut and Ground French Vanilla to deliver a Sweet and Nutty flavor.

Sweet breakfasts cooked on the griddle, like pancakes, waffles and French toast, are usually topped with syrups, jams or whipped cream. To offset all that sweetness, go with the bold flavor of an espresso or dark-roasted coffee. Eight O’Clock’s Dark Italian Roast hits the mark and is perfect for espresso aficionados. Eight O’Clock Coffee Roaster Brewing Tip: Add a dollop of Whipped Cream in place of Milk or Cream and savor the European experience.

The traditional American-style breakfast of Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, or a hearty Ham steak is a match for Eight O’Clock Coffee’s Original Roast. Whether you like your eggs fried, scrambled or sunny side up, this medium roast coffee is an ideal choice to balance the savory flavor of egg dishes. Eight O’Clock Coffee Roaster Brewing Tip: Set aside a ½ cup of coffee to create a toast mopping red eye gravy to garnish the Ham Steak. Full recipe provided (Foodnetwork.com).

Quick grab-and-go breakfasts, including breads, muffins and bagels, pair well with all Eight O’Clock coffee varieties. Try a variety which appeals to your taste today!

From meals on the run to a lovely weekend breakfast in bed, Eight O’Clock Coffee offers a wide range of gourmet coffee varieties to complement a morning mealscape. America’s Original Gourmet Coffee is available in Ground, Whole Bean and Keurig® K-Cup packs, so whether you prefer the experience of brewing a whole pot or the convenience of using single-serve K-Cup® packs, there is an Eight O’Clock Coffee for you. To get the latest from Eight O’Clock, be sure to like their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/EightOClockCoffee.

Owl over the place

Owl Clean Shower Curtain Rings from ModCloth – $14.99
from: ModCloth

Owls. Owls. Everywhere!! A few years ago I bought an amazing owl necklace that went with everything and everyone wanted (that promptly got sucked into a vacuum cleaner). Hmm, since that I have found owls creeping their way into my wardrobe in the most interesting ways. More necklaces, earrings, dresses and also all over my home. Owl headphones? Yes please Bath treads so I don’t bite in in the shower? Done!

Why not let one of these little hoots into your home? Who knows where they might fit in.
