Get The Most Beautiful Eyes With Talika!

Talika specializes in making your eyes even more beautiful than they are.

Wouldn't it be nice to get rid of your mascara and false eyelashes for once and all

Lipocils Eyelash Conditioning Gel oughtta do it - use it for just 28 days and see your lashes lengthen up to 2.5 mm! Your eyelashes become thicker, fuller and a little glossy, which means you can skip all that lash maintenance finally.

What's amazing about this gel is:

1. It truly works, at least on me
2. It is easy to use - just apply using the built-in applicator brush
3. The natural formula is made from plant extracts and castor oil
3. It was created by Dr. Danielle Roches in 1948 to treat severe burn victims, but the side effect was that it stimulated eyelash and eyebrow growth.

Isn't that awesome?

The Eyebrow Lipocils works in the same manner - naturally thicker eyebrows in 28 days!

A number of years ago, an acquaintance gave me my first eyelash curler. I had never used one before, but what a difference it makes - your eyes become bigger and wider and your lashes all of a sudden look lengthier! So over the years, I have had various versions, but nothing as spectacular as Talika's Heated Eyelash Curler!

This silver beauty is so incredible - it heats up in 15 seconds, when bam! - your lashes are twice as curved! Using Japanese technology, it gently heats up enough to curl your lashes without damaging them. And it lets you know when it's ready - just click the blue button and the red surface will turn white when it's ready for use. If you are going to get an eyelash curler, this is the one to get!

And if puffy eyes and dark circles are your problem, get rid of 'em - no, really! - with Eye Detox Contour Gel.

My Mom has always had dark circles and bags under her eyes - until she used Eye Detox. Not only does it decrease puffiness and dark circles, but it seems to get rid of them completely. Imagine never looking tired or worn out again. Imagine smooth, bright skin under your eyes.

I have seen it, folks. It's an incredible, incredible thing!

For me, I'm living for my Eye Dream, a silver wand that holds a wondrous crème that is dabbed under the eyes at night.

See, it seems that during sleep, "the delicate skin around your eyes loses up to 50% of its moisture and is most biologically receptive to external hydration and nourishing ingredients," Talika states. And since your body is in recovery mode, seeking out available amino acids while you're sleeping, it makes sense that you would apply it at night.

What happens overnight is what seems like a miracle - your eyes are brighter, the skin around them is supple and you look younger, refreshed and well, let's face it, like a whole new you!

Talika is your go-to source for premium eye care. Me and Mom are proof of that.

And isn't life complicated enough?!

Get a Hot Gear Bag and Ski With Dry Boots This Winter!

Okay, I know you don't want to hear this, but now that it's November, that means that the snow is not far away.

But for those of us who ski, snowboard, skate and toboggan, that's not such a bad thing.

What sucks is having cold wet ski boots as you ascend to the top of the hill. What sucks is starting your day off without dry, comfortable and warm boots.

That's what you've got to get the Bode Miller Signature Single '09 Hot Gear Bag. Not only is this a necessity if you ski, but imagine what an awesome present it will make this holiday season.

This bag has it all - three temperature settings: warm, dry and hot - so that after a long day on the slopes, you can be sure to wake up to warm, dry boots and hit those hills again in sheer comfort. There is also a convenient glove/sock drying pocket, which is awfully ingenious, don't you think? Should you have a helmet or want to pack in some extra clothes, there's a pocket for that too. And a goggle compartment makes sure you know where they are at all times.

There are backpack straps if you prefer to carry it on you, or what I like to do, is put it on top of my rolling luggage (using a luggage strap attached) so that I can just tote everything using one hand.

And in case you are worried about your valuables or just like the idea of extra security, there is a locking system located in the backpack straps' pocket. Just think, now you've got your own little portable locker, which will come in handy, if you don't want to take your phone, keys, wallet, etc. onto the hill with you.

Oh, and let's not forget one of the best features of the bag - it looks damn fine and comes in red and black (I got it in red)!

I like that it is small enough for me to carry without fuss and yet it holds everything I need. I like how well-crafted and cushy it is, with thick material making it durable and long-lasting, which you're going to need when you're lugging all your gear back and forth to the chalet, etc. I like that it's deeply padded - you can see how protected your gear is. I like that it is designed like a racing accessory, which makes me feel like a much better skier than I am.

And I like that I can always count on having warm, dry boots.

What do you think of sneaking your bra in there so that it's warm when you put it on in the morning? Is that crazy? Perhaps...

Get yourself a Hot Gear Bag (there's a ton to choose from!) and enjoy the winter for once.

I know I'm going to, thanks to my awesome new bag!

Rejuvenate Your Wardrobe With Affordable Finds at Effie's Heart!

Okay, so it's now November and that's kind of depressing because that means it's almost Christmas and I already feel behind on sending out cards, shopping for gifts, etc.

But also I'm realizing that my wardrobe is in desperate need of a little help.

So I went looking for stylish, affordable modern, yet classic items and I found it all at Effie's Heart.

This awesome indie label was created by Kimo. As it says on the website:

"Using color palettes inspired by antique catalogs, art history, nature, and vintage clothing, Kimo has painted a fashion canvas that is both endearing and unique. Fighting against the forces of sameness that trend services push onto mass culture, Kimo would like to introduce Effie’s Heart to all those who believe there is still room for original inspiration."

Just look at the Spring and Summer catalogues and you'll see the amazing sense of modernity with a nod to the past that she and other San Fransisco bay area artists have created.

The Fall Season echos Art Deco, which is one of my favourite periods in design. Kimo says the colour palette soaks in plum, crimson, rainstorm and fig. Doesn't that sound sumptuous?!

Just check out all of the latest finds at their online store! So much to see and buy!

I am loving the Montmartre Dress in Berry and the incredibly beautiful and original Bicycle Capris (pictured above)! My friend Chantal would look superb in these, but I love them so much. Maybe I'll get her a pair for Christmas...

And good lord, there are a ton of tops I want - Betty Tank in Tomato (a natch for this food writer, dontcha think?), Duchess T-Shirt in Black (so sexy and yet, not at all revealing!), the sweet European Village T-Shirt in Cream, the divine and delicate Karen Shrug (mmm!) and for a truly sexy choice, the Pinup Corset!

The Fall and Holiday previews show you more of what's to come, but be sure to check out the Accessories as well! I got myself a pair of intricately-woven hand-knit fingerless black gloves that are adorned with a black rose at the side. I also got what looks like a hand-blown heart in red on a delicate pink satin ribbon, and a gorgeous silver fleur-de-lis on a baby blue satin ribbon.

Not only will you stand out from the crowd in these awesome creations by Kimo and others, but you'll damn well be able to afford them as well!!!

Thank goodness for Effie's Heart, my new shopping haven!

Boob Tube - Who Doesn't Want a Little Extra Oomph?!

This might be too much information, but as a teenager I had no boobs.

None.

I was as flat as crispbread and I didn't end up getting much of anything until I was 30-something. Talk about a late bloomer...

Now that I've got 'em, I want to keep them firm and as perky as possible for as long as possible. There is nothing worse than seeing a woman's breasts sag like oranges in a net bag. Eww.

That's why I am loving my Mama Mio Boob Tube! I wrote about their awesome Get Waisted Body Shaper not too long ago, and this breast cream works just the same. My breasts already look firmer and more supple and my neck has smoothed out completely!

I love about it is that it uses natural ingredients such as avocado oil, shea butter and CoQ10 and evening primrose oil to keep your skin moist and reduce the signs of aging. And there's no colourants, parabens, petroleum, phthlates, sodium laurel and laureth sulphate, synthetic fragrances or xenoestrogen to worry about. You're just getting the good stuff, along with better breasts.

Just apply once a day and watch the magic happen!
