Almay Brings Color & Treatment in to the Line for Women of All Ages & Ethnicities. #Review! #Sponsored
May 30, 2013 | 
Author I used to be just a department store beauty girl– until the times and brands changed– realizing that they had to compete online and they needed to take things up a notch or two. I have a very select group of products from a range of brands that I use and one of the lines I like to test drive products from is Almay. While initially Almay came out (eons ago) as a very clean makeup and that was their branding as clean, hypoallergenic, it got old fast. No longer so with Kate Hudson as their face for the line. Plus the brand has launched several new products that I have tried and found pretty affordable and interesting colors and presentations.
Placido Domingo & Melissa Manchester to Perform at Charity Gala at Saban Theater!
When Los Angeles has a charity gala concert or event, nothing is done half-way. This event at the Saban Theater honors the Ziering family for their contributions to the community and to their local synagogue, Temple Beth Am. This ecumenical event (meaning it’s open to anyone and everyone who wants to buy a ticket) is quite an extravaganza and I was overwhelmed by the artists participating and those who are being honored.

Plot
The majority of mankind has been evacuated, leaving just a few solitary drone repairmen remaining on the planet’s surface. Their job is simple — stand guard over the ruins of a once-great empire by patrolling the skies, and ensuring the drones continue to function. Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) is nearing the end of his mission to extract resources essential to the survival of the human race when he witnesses a spacecraft fall from the sky. Upon investigating, Jack discovers the capsule contains a mysterious woman. With mission control watching his every move from high up above the clouds, Jack embarks on a spectacular adventure that will not only challenge everything he’s been taught about mankind’s most defining battle, but perhaps alter the entire course of human history as well.
It’s Time for Great Cocktails for Spring & Summer Days: Robert Lambert Shares Recipes that Feature Artisanal Ingredients! Yum!!
I adore everything on Robert Lambert’s catalog website. With such fabulous artisanal — read he makes it by hand– it’s hard to figure out sometimes what to do beyond the mundane (Marmalade on toast or on ice cream: chocolate sauce on ice cream cake or between a couple of sugar cookies) I happened to mention to Robert Lambert that I wanted to create some recipes for some of the new products and he indicated that he had come up with some delish recipes. So I am sharing them here. This gives you advance notice for Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Father’s Day and any other celebrations– including no reason at all except you have lovely weather.
