Dang it's Chilly. COVER UP!

My coat is the bomb. I get so many compliments on the color (it also comes in boring colors, if that's your thing). The outer pockets (which are lovingly hidden) are lined in fleece so you don't really need mittens. There are 2 inside doubled pockets on either side of the front. Plus the hood is detatchable via snaps. The best part about the hood is how it's designed, it doesn't mess up your hair and it won't fly off when the wind hits it. The coat sorta looks poofy, but it's REALLY light weight.

Also, Land's End is the bomb, cause if the coat gets damaged, you can mail it in and get a new one FOR FREE! It's a pretty dang affordable coat on top of all this awesomeness, plus Land's End has other great coats if this one doesn't fit your style.

Scary Olsen Picture

I was searching for movies playing in theaters and there was a Mary-Kate Olsen headline.
She looks crazed.

Toothpaste that makes you BRUSH

Toothpaste lasts forever. You buy a tube and it lasts for like, 6 months. I ran out last week and bought Colgate Luminous Mint Twist toothpaste, 2 tubes for $3. Not bad. The taste of the toothpaste is normal toothpaste minty taste BUT the aftertaste is HORRIBLE! I'm not talking direct aftertaste. I'm talking, after I've had breakfast and maybe lunch, I noticed that my mouth tastes gross. Guess what that makes me do? BRUSH! Now, I not only brush a lot more during the day (I usually do once in the morn and once at night), but I've been flossing more too. It's toothpaste with motivation! I want to say don't get this toothpaste, but it's been making me brush more and floss. So I'm conflicted. I don't want a bad taste in my mouth or bad breath, I don't think I have nasty breath or anything. I think I'm just not used to the left over flavor.

So get this toothpaste if you want inner conflict and cleaner teeth:
And get these individual Glide floss picks (I love them! I don't feel like I'm gaging myself when flossing the back teeth):

Chin Tucks

I have two herniated discs in my neck. As you probably have guess, they hurt a lot. My physical therapist (pt) has me do this exercise to alleviate the pain. She thinks that everyone should be doing this exercise because most people’s posture is messed up. Think about it, look at all the bad postures around you. I’m guessing that 90% of the people you know work at a computer and lean forward. That leaning puts a strain on your back and more importantly, your neck. Your neck is abnormally pushed forward which throws your whole body out of balance.
Your head is not light and your neck should have a curve where your head lines up with your shoulder blades (which also have a tendency to hunch forward). The following exercise will help get your body back in place and will strengthen your neck muscles. It is my physical therapists dream to see everyone doing CHIN TUCKS while she’s waiting for her train to arrive. Let’s make this dream a reality!

Face Time

This time of the year is terrible for me and my skin. So I want to post my favorite products to share.

MURAD

I break out like mad crazy, ever since I was 4. Murad is the first product that has cleared up my skin immediately and kept it clear. I use it only at night, during the day I use their Energizing Pomegranate Cleanser along with their Vitamin C eye and skin lotion.

You can get Murad at Sephora and online: www.murad.com

SERIOUSLY, I BREAK OUT

It's gross. I hate it. I've tried everything (even the Murad stuff). The ONLY stuff that's worked on my full body parts is a wonderful product by BLISS. I actually got this product with last year's Christmas gift package. I effing love it. It's the only thing that's scrubbed my body clean for good! BLISS SUGAR SCRUB (sweet orange + spearmint) I can't find it on their US site, only their London site: http://www.blisslondon.co.uk/shop/detail/BLISS-014/

DRY SKIN? BABY OIL!

No joke people. I have not broken out from doing the baby oil thing after the shower...you think you would! It's so easy: After your shower, slab some baby oil on and then lightly towel it off. Don't go for the skimpy generic brand, spend the extra dollar and get the good stuff.

These products are also helpful:
For chapped lips (I don't have to reapply 5 times throughout the day. It's great.)
Fresh's Sugar Lip Balm - Neosporin for dry cuticles - or Bliss's Manicure's best friend, for dry cuticles:

Then, when you're done pampering, get these socks. They rule.
