effFACIALS anyone?

A day at the spa can be expensive, but sometimes we just need that feeling of total relaxation. What better way to do so than in the comfort of your own home? I have a facial recipe that you can do yourself and it's not just one size fits all Whether you have dry, oily, aging, or sensitive skin, I have a different recipe for you. Guys, you can try it too. Ladies like men with smooth skin!

ALL SKIN TYPES: Oatmeal and Yogurt Face Mask - This face mask is suitable for all skin types and is super simple to prepare. It will cleanse and rejuvenate your skin.

Ingredients: 1 tbsp oatmeal, finely ground, 1 tbsp live, organic yogurt (skip the flavored stuff) & a few drops of honey. Preparation: Add the yogurt to the oatmeal in a small bowl and mix together. Warm a few drop of honey. To do this, warm a spoon under hot water for a minute, then add a few drops of honey to the spoon. Stir the honey into the yogurt and oatmeal mixture. Apply the mask to the face. Leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse off with several splashes of warm water. Follow with a warm washcloth. Apply moisturizer.

SENSITIVE SKIN: Yogurt Mask - This mask is great for soothing chapped, sunburned or otherwise irritated skin. Extra tip: This mask works well for other skin types as well. For oily skin, add a couple drops of lemon or lime juice. For dry skin, mix in a couple tablespoons of honey.

Ingredients:1 cup natural yogurt (we like it just-out-of-the-fridge cold) and ½ cup oatmeal (any type of basic oatmeal works here). Preparation: Mix the ingredients together. Apply to the skin for 10-15 minutes. Wash off mask with a washcloth steamed in the microwave (careful that it's not too hot).

OIL/ACNE PRONE SKIN: Banana Mask - This is a soothing face mask and great if you have bananas around the house.

Ingredients: 1 banana, preferably ripe (you can keep ripe bananas in the freezer. Let it thaw before using), 1 tbsp honey, & an orange or a lemon. Preparation: Mix the banana and honey together. Add a few drops of juice from an orange or a lemon. Apply to face for 15 minutes before rinsing with a cool washcloth or a steaming warm washcloth.

DRY SKIN: Avocado Face Mask for Dry Skin - Avocados and honey are particularly moisturizing. This mask is particularly great for mature, wrinkled and dry skin. It's best to use a ripe, fresh, organic avocado. Make sure to mash it up into a creamy pulp.

Ingredients: ½ avocado & ¼ cup honey. Preparation: A classic recipe for dry skin. Mash the avocado in a bowl, then stir in honey. Apply to skin and leave for 10 minutes. Rinse face with a cool washcloth.

COMBINATION SKIN: Rose Face Mask - This mask, based on roses, is perfect for balancing out the oily and dry areas of your skin.

Ingredients: Optional: 6 fresh rose petals, 2 tbsps rosewater, 1 tbsp natural yogurt, room temperature (not low-fat or non-fat), 1 tbsp runny honey (to get honey runny, you can warm it in a microwave for a few seconds). Preparation: Soak rose petals, then crush them in a bowl. Add the rosewater, yogurt and honey. Mix well and apply to the skin. Leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse.

sneaker-effFREAKER!

NIKE AIR ZOOM TOKI QS

When did brown become all the rage? We're not sure if you remember, but there was a time, not too long ago, when most of us sneaker heads wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of pookicks. Now look at us! We can't get enough of the earth-tone wonders. Dunk.com.cn threw these Nike Air Zoom Toki trainers online Thursday and the blogs went ballistic. From the ultra simplistic upper to the perforated Swoosh tick, it's the brash brown piping that seals the deal on these fudge packers. No release date as yet.

Michael Bastian

Yes, Pretty effFLY for a _____ Guy is back! This week's collection is from Michael Bastian's S/S 2010 Collection.

The Look: The weathered American man. "His clothes show a little bit of wear," Bastian says. Striped polo shirts fit snugly; blazers are cut narrow; and slim button-downs have concealed shoulder vents so you can actually move your arms.


I love this cardigan! He did a great job of using colors wisely in this collection!

"Catch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game. Sh*t I made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can."

JUST IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

Earlier tonight Jay-z and Alicia Keys performed "Empire State of Mind" at Game 2 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium. No explanation needed, oh and if you were wondering Lil' Mama wasn't there. Happy watching!

S - T - I - N - G

It doesn't matter if you're a 12-year-old being told to clean your room - or a corporate executive that needs to write up a business proposal, we're all affected by it...procrastination. Here's a solution to this problem; turn your procrastination into action! I know what you're thinking, you've tried it all, right? Wrong! One technique that you may not have heard of is called the "STING" method. This is a fairly new method of addressing procrastination, and it's an acronym that stands for:

S - Select one task.
T - Time yourself.
I - Ignore everything else.
N - No breaks.
G - Give yourself a reward.

Select one task you've been putting off. Break it down to just one small piece if it's complicated. For instance, if the task is cleaning the kitchen, reorganizing a drawer is just one piece of the larger task. Time yourself. Use a kitchen timer so you don't have to watch the clock and give the task one full hour. Children might need to reduce that time to just 10 or 15 minutes. Ignore everything else that needs to be done. No breaks allowed!

Give yourself a small reward when the task is completed (a few minutes on Twitter, Facebook, a piece of chocolate...whatever you need).


Everyone's attention span is different, but it may be wise to I set a timer for three 30-minute increments with 5-minute breaks (depending on how much you have to do), exit out of your email and Internet explorer and go into your own personal space. The beauty of it is ... it works! I hope it works for you!

"Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart, then you can try sleeping in my bed".

I cannot wait for this album to drop! Alicia's music is serious.

T2R: 9 Things Women Say

Today's Toast to Repost is a post that a lot of people found to be true and interesting at the same time; 9 Things Women Say! If you haven't read it, or just wonder what these nine things are, here you go...Happy reading!

Things Women Say

#1 Fine
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

#2 Five Minutes
If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the football before helping around the house.

#3 Go Ahead
This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!

#4 A Loud Sigh
This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer quickly to No. 9 for the meaning of nothing.)

#5 That’s Okay
This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

#6 Thanks
A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you’re welcome. (I want to add a clause here - This is true, unless she says ‘Thanks a lot’, which is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say ‘you’re welcome’ - that will bring on No. 7).

#7 Whatever
Is a woman’s way of saying, "F*#% YOU!"

#8 Don’t worry about it, I got it
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response refer to No. 4.

#9 Nothing
This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in “Fine”.

eyeReview: Transition

tran⋅si⋅tion  [tran-zish-uhn, -sish-]

–noun
1. movement, passage, or change from one position, state, stage, subject, concept, etc., to another; change: the transition from adolescence to adulthood.
2. Music. a passing from one key to another; modulation.

The dictionary definition of the word Transition isn't too far off from what Ryan Leslie's second studio album "Transition" represents. His album will hit stores Tuesday, November 3rd; only nine months after his debut album "Ryan Leslie". There's no doubt about it, once you pop in the disc or hit play that you're listening to the sounds of Mr. R. Les. The instrumental basis of the album is very similar to the rest of his work...bad thing? Hmm, I wouldn't say so, but it did make me wonder when this so-called "transition" was going to occur...And it did to say the least.

I was surprised to hear what seemed to be a wedding song on the album. "I Choose You" made my heart smile, simply because I love songs like that. That's what did it for me. In my perspective, the change that he made throughout the album wasn't so much a musical one, but him growing into more of a man through his lyrics and musical content (it'll make more sense once you listen).

There aren't too many tracks on the album that I didn't like on the album, and that's surprising. One element to having a good album is one that you can play from beginning to end without wanting to skip a song. So, what tracks am I feeling? Of course I'll have to say "You're Not My Girl" (his first single off of the album). This was in heavy rotation in the radio world, and it was very appealing to his male audience; which is always a plus for any artist. I also like "Guardian Angel", just because I find it flattering when guys compare females to things of such innocence and purity (even though none of us are pure in any aspect of our lives). "Something That I Like" featuring Push is another track that I would recommend. Ryan Leslie has a great album so make sure you cop it! Transition complete...I'll give it a B+.
