In terms of tokens of endearment, there’s nothing I love better than a good mixed tape. It’s a quick way to my heart and something I hold onto forever {seriously, I just found one from high school the other day}. Here’s a short list of some of my favorite love songs. And I’d love to know—what are yours?
Hope you have the sweetest day, dear reader.

It’s the day before Valentine’s and you have nothing planned. I get the whole not buying into Valentine’s Day thing—it can feel cheesy and exclusive. But it doesn’t have to! Whatever your dating status, I think February 14th can be a day to love. Below are fun, simple treats and ideas just for you to enjoy…or to share with the ones you love.

There’s nothing I love more than a good drugstore steal. The quality of stuff in drugstores today is truly incredible—state of the art face creams, gorgeous smelling bath products, the perfect hairspray. I love combing the aisles to find new favorites and below are the ones that are my tried and true staples, always to be found in my cabinet or makeup drawer.
I’d love to hear what yours are as well!

I love reviewing my beauty purchases at the beginning of a new year. What worked last year and what didn’t? What did I discover that I love and what classics proved again to be the very best? It’s a fun thing to take stock of, especially if you try out products like I do with a scrupulous eye and a quest for perfection. Right now in my make up bag there are at least four blushes, but only one made the collage below. I’ve tried loads of brushes, lip products, eyeliners and eyelash curlers trying to find the very best ones. I revisit old favorites to compare and contrast with the latest buzz products all in the name of finding the best quality stuff, whether it comes from a drugstore or a department store. Below, my favorite products of 2011—some are ones I’ve already recommended and others are new faves. Wahoo!

Okay, this is for all of you out there {like me!} who leave gift shopping to the last minute. I think part of me is afraid that if I buy a gift too early I’ll lose it or forget about it. But that’s pretty much impossible with all of these girly gems. Each one may have a different vibe, but they’re all unforgettable—just like the gal you’ll be giving them to. Whatever your price range and whoever you’re buying for, I think you’ll find the perfect item in this round up of some of my favorite gifts of the year. Details! After the jump:

Loving this gift guide created for us by Studio SloMo’s own Sarah Wymer. Her taste is exquisite and each of these items is so right on in it’s style, originality and specialness. The emphasis on local sources and the variety of price points make it the perfect spot to find something for your guy this year. I’m definitely eyeing more than one of these for my own dude and I hope you are too. Sarah’s descriptions as well as where to find each of these items, after the jump!

As we know, sleep comes easily for some and not as easily for others. I have friends who can fall asleep in a well-lit, albeit dirty, Brooklyn stairwell next to a homeless man {that actually happened—see note below} and others who need an Rx before turning off the lights. During stressful times {the holidays}, it’s totally normal to toss and turn a bit as we prepare for crazy airports, swarms of guests and gift shopping. So as you’re planning your holiday season from turkey basting to New Years kisses, make sure you’re also getting the shut eye you need and deserve. Here’s some thoughts on how to do so.
