With the economy taking a nap right now, everyone can use a tip or two to save some extra money. There are many ways to save money on beauty, so I have put together a list of some ways to save a few bucks here and there, without making a huge sacrifice or effort! (more…)

So apparently the guys have banded together after reading my last post about engagement rings and have created something that will absolutely make you turn down their engagement offer, and NEVER mention sea foam green bridesmaids dresses ever again: The USB engagement ring.

“Oh honey, you keep dropping hints, so I finally broke down and bought it….the ring of our DREAMS” That’s right ladies, the men are playing dirty. What sane woman would accept an offer to link their data with another person’s ring?? Exactly. Well, I suppose when your biological clock is ticking and your mother, grandmother, and Aunt Susan are breathing down your neck to get married and pop out some kids, sanity goes right out the window….but still, no INSANE woman would accept this ring either. She’d be all schizo and upon seeing this ring, would totally snap out of it and start a woman’s lib movement….ha! Take THAT imaginary band of guys that are trying to wiggle out of marriage!

What was I talking about again? Oh yes, the stupidest ring ever created by man….I think that’s all there is to say about that.

You know those mornings when you wake up and think, “Gee Golly, I sure do wish I had an outfit that expressed both my Goth and Gaming Nerd style.” Yeah, me neither, but for those Goth Gamer Chicks out there, you can finally add something to your wardrobe that will either make you the coolest chick on the block or the one that everyone secretly laughs at when you’re glued to your computer screen.

Ps. Yes, corsets are considered goth when worn outside of the bedroom….look it up, it’s in the encyclopedia under “What NOT to wear”….”According to Brandy”….”And if you wear loads of black eyeliner and think angry thoughts.” (more…)

Here are a few tips from Glamour on how to be kind to the environment: (more…)

High heels without the heel!! Sounds like a revolutionary idea!! The wave of the future!! Nope, it’s retarded:

1. They’re not cute, they’re awkward looking. I’m guessing the person wearing them would be equally as awkward looking.

2. They’re bad for your back and feet according to Michael Paynton, chairman of the British Chiropody and Podiatry Association, who had this to say: “The heel is there to stabilise. When you elevate the rear of the foot it makes you lean forward, which is bad for both the back and the foot. The front of the foot ends up taking the weight of the bulk of your body, which can in turn do damage to the tendons in your legs by shortening them. I certainly would not recommend these shoes.”

3. They cost 1800 pounds, which is roughly $3600 USD. I would rather use $3600 for things that don’t cause back and foot injury….a tropical getaway? A shopping spree? 3,600 one dollar bills to put in the g-strings of Chippendale dancers? All much better ways to spend your money.

If you simply must have them, you will join the ranks of celebrities that have flocked to have this new item of “coolness” like Posh Spice and Gwyneth Paltrow, but in the eyes of Average Chicks everywhere, you’re still insane.

Hello my friendly friends!! I just got back from Charlotte, NC and let me tell you, it’s a pretty lame city. I know, I know, that is not a nice thing to say, but when it’s 40 degrees and all the shops close at 2 pm, what is a girl to do?! Lucky for me, The Wedding Singer was in town, and I was able to score some sweet seats for $20 because I iz a colleeg stoodent. I was a little skeptical as to the worthiness of this musical, but I like musicals in general so I figured it couldn’t be that bad. I was actually really impressed with this show and was happy with the differences between it and the movie version. Robbie’s fiancé Linda definitely stole the show and her 2 scenes were my favorite by far. That girl can sing! Certain parts can be a little “adult” so it’s probably not a show you want to take your 3 year old niece to, but if it comes to your city, check it out! It’s a great way to spend $20-$50 and it makes you feel like you have a little damn culture in your life!

I’m all for being fit and healthy, but this is taking it a little too far! When your arms start getting all Skelatorey, that is when you need to say “Ya know what? I think I’ll have a donut today and skip the 800 lb bicep curls.” Or you can do what I do, ignore the gym completely! If you want to shed a few pounds, it’s called throwing up*. Duh.

*If you take this statement seriously, you obviously have not seen Zoolander 80 times. Lighten up.

Oprah.com premiered it’s new live web event last night at 9 PM/EST and for those of you interested in spiritual matters, it was pretty interesting. Every Monday, starting yesterday and going for the next 9 weeks, Oprah and author/spiritual teacher Eckart Tolle will be discussing different chapters of Mr. Tolle’s new book, A New Earth (Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose). Eckart Tolle is also the author of the best selling book, The Power of Now, and several works devoted to living a life of inner peace.

I am quick to make the jokes, but I am very impressed by Mr. Tolle, especially by the fact that he is not trying to change your mind about anything, but only to help you uncover what he feels is the essence of all mankind, that is, living in the now. I have only read the first two chapters of A New Earth, but I already sense the same feeling of truth that I felt when reading The Power of Now. I highly recommend both of these books, and suggest that you sign up on the site and see what all the hullabaloo is about. The podcast and video are on there from last night, and you can see for free if it’s something you’re interested in!

If you still have an icky taste in your mouth from the fashion uglies in What NOT to Wear, I have ten delightfully pretty things for you to drool over with me. To borrow a line from Ron Bergundy: “I want to be on you”…and by you, I mean the clothes….and all the people who designed them…all at once….yeah, we get pretty crazy around here.

Note: Brandy is speaking figuratively, unless the clothes and designers are into that sort of thing, in which case, I’ll bring the chocolate pudding! (more…)

So you want a lip gloss that will let people know when you’re pissed off or feeling sassy? Well Too Faced anticipated this world wide phenomenon and created Mood Swing lip gloss which will show as different shades of pink depending on your body heat, pH levels and mood. I can’t wait to see the look on people’s faces as I go from “happy go lucky cotton candy pink” to “I want to murder you in your sleep you cheating SOB vibrant fuschia.” It’ll run you about $18.50, but just think of how much better a person you will be by telling the world to F-off with your lip color instead of your vocal chords.
