Mommy & Me (1st installment)

With Mother's Day quickly approaching, I have been thinking about dynamic mother-daughter duos. I remembered reading an article about Rashida Jones (33) & her beyond gorgeous ex-model mother, Peggy Lipton (would you believe that she is now 62??), in Allure Magazine last year. Besides the obvious perfect anti-aging gene passed down this line, Lipton gave credit to her strict moisturizing regime for her ageless, flawless skin.

Lipton's advice inspired me to sleep in a moisturizing mask last night grasping onto that shred of hope that I too could perhaps age in this manner! I use LING's Moisturizing Facial Masque & even though they suggest leaving it on 15-30 minutes, I like to leave it on overnight for a true moisturizing "treatment." You can find it here.

At least we know one thing for sure...Rashida has absolutely nothing to worry about as she gets older, especially with her endless funny-girl roles in The Office & I Love You, Man. The rest of us can still dream...

Newsworthy: Amore Pacific at Sephora

This is BIG!

A few years ago, I fell in love with Amore Pacific. I accompanied my mother-in-law on one of her {many} beauty product hunts & was lead into the arms of an Asian inspired Soho spa hideaway. Although the prices of the products were somewhat prohibitive, I did not walk out empty handed. My mother-in-law's purchase entitled her {and me} to at least fifteen samples of what soon became my most treasured {and expensive} moisturizer.

Cut to today...Amore Pacific is now widely available {much like Alexander McQueen & Thakoon in Target} in Sephora & I highly recommend getting your hands on some! Also worth mentioning that their products all smell like heaven.
