Arnication

A few weeks ago, I told you about my neck injury and how yoga helped me deal with the pain involved. But it took me a long time to work up to being the dedicated yogini I am today and I must admit, I did rely on another little helper to get me through when [...]

Sensitive Skin Save

My skin is so freakin sensitive. Case in point: I made the mistake of trying to save a few bucks by buying some discounted moisturizer at Marshall’s last week. If I can buy designer clothes at great prices, why not skin care products too? I’ll tell you why, because you don’t know what you’re buying. [...]

Wedded Bliss

Ok, time for something fun this Wedding Wednesday (do not email me, I know it’s Thursday). The planning process is not all question and quandary. There are some fabulously fun aspects, too. For example, I have found that there is no better excuse to shop than preparation for your wedding/honeymoon. Not only do I need [...]

Ultimate Allergy Relief

*Please note: I am not a doctor. This is not medical advice. Consult your doctor before trying any new therapy. (duh.)
I have found a near-cure for my lifelong allergy affliction. I have been plagued by allergy and sinus issues since I was born. Seriously. When I was tested for allergic response years ago, the doctor [...]

TerribleFlora

I am well aware that the threshold for customer service is often low these days, but my experience with teleflora.com this mother’s day was particularly awful. My mother lives in rural Virginia and I typically send her flowers once a year. Last time I was burned by 1-800 Flowers and after seeing a commercial for [...]

Getting Attached

I am surprised to find myself really liking a clothing trend I’m seeing in the shops right now: attached jewelry. The first thing I think of when I hear this is bedazzling and I am not a fan. It too easily dates a piece, instantly reducing it’s usefulness in your wardrobe. However, today’s inclusive accessories [...]

Naturally Elegant

Any fashion savvy consumer knows the value accessories can add to your ensemble. So, it should come as no surprise that SPF is always on the look out for cool new accents. It seems like everywhere I go lately, I see interesting pieces from local jewelry designer, Typhaney B.
I got my first glimpse of Typhaney’s [...]

Blisters Be Gone

I love my heels. Tell me they’re sexist, dangerous, bad for my feet, I don’t care. I love their height extension, slimming effect, sex-appeal and the way I feel when I wear them. Despite the fact that both my stepmother and future-stepmother-in-law have suffered heel-related issues requiring surgery, I hope to be buried – well, [...]

Quick Fashion Fix

I swear I’m not blowing you guys off, it’s just been a crazy busy week and I have plans with my sweetie tonight and not much time. But I wanted to share with you a quick fashion fix I am proud of pulling off. Maybe it’ll help you the next time you find yourself in [...]

Essential Hardware

My favorite trend of the moment is the interlaced chain link look. I don’t know if my sweetie is well-educated on my tastes or he saw me eyeing a Chanel necklace a friend in NY was wearing, but he got me this kick-ass bracelet for Valentine’s day this year:

I don’t know if my lame picture-taking [...]
