This is the beauty spot where we spot out the best in beauty and bring it you ! First up Skin Care: Murad.com We bought Murad or the famous Dr. Murad skin care after hearing him give a speech on the importance of topical Vitamin C and his highly concentrated Acne Spot treatment. I tried the topical face wash with Vitamin C for a week I noticed a great change in the color and texture of my skin, it was so bright it was amazing!

One Hundred Dollar Challenge: Fall Wardrobe Update

Many complain that a dollar or one hundred dollars just can't buy enough and oh boy about the needs, etc.... So, I took the 100.00 dollar challenge this is what it got me: 1. Clothes:  New York and Company was having a BOGO sale on dresses and I really needed a wardrobe update so I took advantage of it and for the price of one dress I got two dresses that are chic, on trend, and would last all season long. Price Check: 52.00... 2. Make Up Update: I really needed some new make up so I bought from Cover FX two in one highlighters, one in a rose color that would really work well with the Fall deep reds, burdgundies, etc. and a gold highlighter that works really well with my skin tone.

Style Collective: Digital Landscape Arrived

We're back... We covered Fashion Month in NYC and it was amazing! All I can say is expect to see ultra feminine, loads of sequins and people expressing their cultural point of view. The event that really put things into perspective for us was Style Collective, the bloggers event that kicked off Fashion Week. The Reality of the New Digital Landscape: Bloggers from all over the country was there and ready to be seen and heard!

Well, it is true that the digital landscape is far out pacing traditional media, when I started five years ago, I was laughed out of NYFW and the only events I could go to was Tech events. Now, bloggers are getting major book deals, endorsements, and they are far out pacing the traditional celebrity in many ways. There will always be sports hero's because you can replace tennis, soccer, or footbal
