Halloween’s Here! Do You Have Your Costume?

Trick or treating, costume parties, and masquerades are just around the corner! Yes, that’s right folks. Halloween is almost here. Have you decided what you’ll be?

Some inspiration for those in need: you can opt for the traditional Halloween costume of something terrifying. Ghosts, Frankensteins, and monsters are always classic. Or you can do something more like Heath Ledger’s The Joker or the killers from Strangers. Perhaps you want to create your own scary costume, combining Elvira’s spider-web covered, black hair with vampire fangs. Or a blood-splattered tuxedo with a hideous mask. Really, the options are endless.

Going as a couple? Look to famous duos in cinema history. For example, Bonnie and Clyde always make for a dynamic duo, and a great era to wear clothes

Tis the Season… for Sports and Savings

Crack open your beer. Whip out the snacks. Invite the buds over. Summer is drawing to a close and fall is upon us, meaning it’s time to get serious.: it’s time for sports.

Whether you’re watching football, hockey, or whatever your sport(s) of choice is, from your couch, your friend’s couch, or in the actual stadium or rink,  you best be sure you’re having a great time. What I mean is, you need to make sure you come stalked with lots of goodies: drinks, snacks, jerseys and props are essential for making the season the best it can be.

For example, if you’re watching the Dallas Cowboys live from the Cowboys Stadium, you should be wearing the navy and white jersey with pride. Or if you’re watching the Michigan Wolverines, for example, from the comfort of your own

Fresh Fall Beauty Bargains from Smashbox

Fall is a traditional season for fresh starts and new looks, and lucky for us it’s a fabulous season for the latest makeup trends.  The weather is cooling down, and so is the fall color palette.  This season, designers are favoring deep plums, cool shimmery silvers and smoky grays.

Vitamins from A to Z

Living in Venice Beach, California, I am fortunate enough to have the luxury of scooting down to the local market and ordering an acai smoothie with a vitamin C boost, or a fresh strawberry banana smoothie with a scoop of B-12, or even shot filled to the brim with wheatgrass- all of which contain essential vitamins that help keep my body and, thus, my health and nutrition balanced. 

However, Venice is probably the anomaly. Not everywhere can you simply jaunt down to the local spot for a smoothie of your choice chalked full of nourishing vitamins. But it doesn’t mean you can avoid imbibing your essential nutrients! And even if you do have the privilege of having fresh smoothies around the corner, it can still be a challenge to make sure your body is soaking up all the
