My Latest Cosmetic Finds!

I'm a sucker for cosmetics and anything girly. My mother had 7 sisters and two brothers so you can imagine that women dominated our family! My mother sold Luzier cosmetics for years.(http://www.luzier.com) She has beautiful flawless skin to this day. I have always trusted her judgement when it comes to choosing the right colors and on choosing a good skincare regimen. She comes to visit from Pittsburgh a few times a year and we love to hit the counters and do some makeup shopping. I love watching her give makeup lessons to the makeup artists. I'm sure they loved that. lolllllll. I didn't have her with me today so I'm curious to see how she would approve of these great finds. I will keep you posted!
Here's a picture of my mommy:)

It's Mani Pedi Time!

7:31 PM Career 1 comment

I was invited to a beautiful wedding this week so I had a lot of prepping to do! I've been seeing a lot of innovative ideas for mani pedi's so I got excited and decided to book an appointment at the super luxury nail spa, chinail in Beverly hills! What a great experience! I went with an elegant and classy design. $350.00 later, well I hope you like the pics!

It's pretty amazing how they do this. They actually dust real glitter on your nails and seal it.

I'm always looking for inspiration in my nail designs. I NEVER wear Gold. I'm always dressed in big silver or diamond accessories. So I thought, maybe I need to venture out of my comfort zone this time, and I'm glad I did. I'm loving this gold glitter dust and diamond look. I went to Pampered Hands on Melrose. It was 1/3 of the cost of Chi Nails. The total for the bill was $100 plus a $20.00 tip. Woo hoo! BTW I always tip at least 20%. Never less. Oh and if you're wondering where I bought the beautiful bracelets, I bought them at Shuku_NewYork. http://www.shukunewyork.com/. Shuku is my new favorite store for accessories!

Paris, France pt. 2

After two days in Switzerland we decided to take a drive to Paris since I had been flying for so many hours. The cars were racing at over 120 mph. Europeans are crazy:) We finally made it to Paris at midnight. After checking in we walked in the rain and took our own little tour around the city at night. Paris has the most beautiful architecture I have seen. Once we arrived back at the Ritz we decided we needed a nightcap so we had a drink at a little private bar in the back section of the Ritz, I don't recall the name. There were photos of celebrities and famous people all over the walls and I could just imagine how many had been in this little bar sipping a fine glass of vino just like myself.

Here are some photos of our Room at the Ritz. It reminded me of a Juicy Couture Add. And P.S. the coffee was amazing! It's all in the detail:)

I wanted to take steal these towels! They were gorge!

More Ritz! Sorry to be flip flopping with pics but I wanted to mix it up!

If you know me, you know my birthday is a BIG DEAL. Every year I consult my best girlfriends about how were going to make this celebration something to cherish forever. If I don't call them, they'll call me. My birthday is an excuse for some serious fierce girl time. I've had gorgeous dinners at the most beautiful restaurants in Los Angeles. I've partied in all the biggest nightclubs and it all seemed so boring to me. Once you've done all that, where do you go from there? The lightbulb turned on and I said, let's do Europe. Helllllll yeeeaaaa! I really wanted Melissa, Kristyn, Irene and Dino to come along because I love them so very much but everyone's so busy and it was tough orchestrating the event. I've had the same agent for ten years,...Melanie Jayne. So when the opportunity came I thought of her. Melanie has been handling me as an actress for a long time. She has always been there for me through the toughest times:) Bottom line, I love Melanie. And I owe her big time! So I asked her to join me in Europe for my birthday! And we KILLED IT!

My Birthday Trip -Switzerland

2:42 PM Career No comments

The plane ride from Los Angeles to Geneva, Switzerland was painful to put it nicely. So I won't dwell. I did meet some really wonderful people who shared some great story's about traveling and their love for each other. I'll never forget that. Once I made it to Switzerland I was ready to drop. But there's no time for being tired! I'm in Switzerland! I was greeted with hugs and the most beautiful Birthday Cake! We were so busy running all around Geneva and enjoying my time there that I never took a bite out of that cake! So I guess it just looked good:) We went to this gorgeous hotel restaurant for my birthday dinner. I have no idea what the name was but it was definitely beautiful. I had such a fabulous time in Switzerland I hope you enjoy the pictures!
