Need to wear a bra but it doesn't work with that fab new top you just bought? There's some good tips in this post from Shopaholics Anonymous...
I remember a long time ago, someone told me you could put band aids over your you-know-whats in lieu of a bra or strapless bra or in place where a bra can't go (think skinny strap prom dress, etc). Let me tell you from first hand experience,...

We agree with this interesting post from Fabulously Broke in the City...
The general school of thought to becoming wealthy is to take 10%-15% out of your pay and set it aside for yourself. Then, figure out how to live on the rest of your income. But the main idea is to pay yourself first. Why don't we do this with our time?
Time is just as valuable a commodity, because as we all know,...

We agree - Everyone can wear red lipstick as long as it is just the right shade of lipstick. This one's from Lipstick Powder 'n Paint...
Poppy King has always worn red lipstick - it's her signature. She was so obsessed with lipstick that she started her own brand at the age of 18.
Poppy States 'Every woman can wear red lipstick! It is a myth that only some can. It depends on...

Seriously. Does Penelope Cruz ever look anything short of perfection? This one's from SugarShock...
Many of my previous picks for look of the week have been celebs workin' it on the red carpet. But lovelies, due to the dearth of worthy candidates lately, and the killer ad campaigns that have been cropping up for fall, this week I'm going with Penelope Cruz for Mango. You have to...

Since we adore Valentino and idolize Sophia Loren as a true beauty icon, we couldn't resist sharing this post about both of them from Makeup Loves Me...
I read this quote a couple of weeks ago in the August issue of InStyle, but i keep coming back to it. Valentino on Sophia Loren: "Today, every famous woman is called a diva. But here is a true one, in the best sense of the word. Sophia...

Marian Burros has an article in the Times this week about the resurgence of buffalo as an alternative red meat. She calls it "steak without guilt," as the meat is healthier than beef: loaded with iron, with less total fat, fewer calories and more of the good kinds of...

Some great first date destinations in New York from The Gothamist...
We were recently asked about recommendations for good first date spots: 'she's allergic to shellfish, I hate TexMex - any thoughts?' We have plenty of thoughts.

Can you really unlock a car door using only a tennis ball? Wouldn't that be lovely. We found this YouTube clip about unlocking your power locks by using a tennis ball with a hole burned/cut into it.
I have my doubts and couldn't find anything stating it as false (yes, I checked Snopes). To the contrary, when I googled...
