March Beauty Blog

1. Mood: Energized! Of course...I always get a second wind AFTER work, when I "most" need it.
2. Did you watch the Oscars last night? If you did, what did you think? I did indeed. I was bored. Loved the fashion aspect of it though.
3. Have you ever dated someone you met online? Back when Myspace wasn't Date Rape Central, yes. But those days are thankfully behind me.
4. Button-down denim skirts, yea or nay? ATROSH
5. Favorite drugstore body lotion? St. Ives Replenishing Mineral Therapy. It smells like the rain forest (not that I would know lol)
6. Your default work outfit? Today it's a turquoise French Connection dress with gold zippers up the front pleats of the skirt, black leggings and what I call my black "sneaker boots". They are calf-length high-heeled boots that lace up and look like sneakers. *swoon*
7. A country you’d love to visit? Lebanon. Seeing that my family is from there, I would love to reconnect with our relatives there and see all the beautiful parts where my parents grew up. Oh, and obviously eat ALL the yummy Middle Eastern food!
8. Something you wish you had more time for? Oh gosh...SO much. This blog, my Youtube channel, my dog, volunteering for animal shelters, God, styling my hair, cleaning the house, etc.
9. What are you wearing on your lips today? I can't read the names on the bottom of these, but they are a limited MAC pink-coral lipstick and gloss in really cool packaging. They are SUPER soft and creamy too. *Dream*


10. Weekly goals: Get my taxes done, figure out what's going on with my Fidelity investment (kill me now---I hate this stuff!) and make a diaper cake for an upcoming baby shower (I obviously turn every event into an Arts & Crafts project ;)



I did some cool Art Deco nails on myself for fun...Enjoy!

Concrete Jungle Where Dreams Are Made Of

Hello my beauty lovers! You may (or may not) have noticed my absence this week from my blog. I've been in NYC on a business trip. As many of you know, I work for CBS and Nancy Grace (my day job). CBS sent me there to assist in a press tour for Nancy. It was a pretty quick trip and we had our hands full with all of Nancy's appearances and interviews, but I was able to capture a couple of nice shots of the city on my Blackberry.


As we were flying through the city's streets in our town cars, we whizzed by this beautiful buidling on 5th Ave. I just adore the pop of teal on the roof, and the detailed architecture of the windows! PS--> every cab and town car ride felt like being on the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland.

The view from Nancy's office in the CNN building. Even though it was "dirty street snow" I still was in awe.


At the end of our fast and furious NYC trip, I came home to this little mooshie who couldn't wait to snuggle up to his mama. Here he is absolutely exhausted from yapping around my rain boots happily that I was home.



TRIP HIGHLIGHTS: Being in an elevator with Anderson Cooper, meeting Joan Rivers, and having an amazing dinner at a little Italian place called Alloro, with my good friend @CatChung. It was restaurant week in NYC, so all the restaurants had set $35 menus! It was great to finally meet all my contacts and see all the studios and stages of each show Nancy was a part of!

TRIP LOWLIGHTS: Getting sinusitis the last day, getting car sick and puking in the CBS Corporation building (FML), and basically getting no sleep the whole time. But you know what? It was all worth it...
