Inspired by the Oscars..

Dear Margaret,

         So, watching the Oscars really inspired me to want to work on my grooming maintenance a little more:) Every one's skin was glowing and bodies were perfect.. depressing depressing.. but anyways.. I was walking through Nordstroms with my mom yesterday looking for some sort of self tanner (since my legs are see thru creepy right now) and the cosmetics lady recommended this xen-tan red carpet blend tanner where you can adjust your tan depth/moisturizing ratio each time. I'm a product whore so of course I bought it.. plus I use this line's face luxe tanner and love it. I'll let you know if I look like J.Lo soon.. in which case you should buy it stat:) Also, this same lady told me about their new service at Nordstroms where they are trained by Anastasia (eyebrow genius to the stars) to shape/pluck/wax/groom eyebrows for only $30 per time. I made an appointment for next week... so again.. I'll let you know how that goes. They also sell these kits by Anastasia that help you stay on track with the brow grooming process.. if I like the service I will definitely buy the kit. Lastly, I was watching E! yesterday after this lil trip to Nordy and Dr. Perricone was being interviewed on his tips to having glowing skin and how to slow down the anti aging process. Basically, when it comes to skin, you are what you eat:): Water, salmon, tons of greens, lean proteins, nuts, oats.. stuff we really already know.. but the fact that it is actually proven to make your skin "glow" makes me want to go out and buy 200 bottles of Columbia Gorge "just greens" at whole foods for my skin's sake (although that would be ridiculous, seeing as they have expiration dates and are $4 a piece so it would be quite an investment).. but anyways.. you get the point. So, this is what the meticulously groomed and glowing stars at the Oscars have inspired me to do:)

Kara
