Sex and the City: In Theaters Very, Very Soon!

May 29th, 2008 by Lilan

Girls, we’re less than 24 hours to the premiere of the Sex and the City movie premiering in theaters tomorrow! I’m super excited – can’t wait to see how they write the girls’ characters to see what they’ve been up to. Unfortunately, I’m not going to get to see the movie until Saturday.. my girl J is moving to NYC next week and we’re celebrating her last hours in on the West Coast with some drinks!

So how do you think Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha are going to end up? A friend of mine thinks that Aiden will come back, tell Carrie that he loves her so that she’ll break up with Big. The wedding will be called off and then Aiden will die – is that crazy or what? I can’t imagine that he was serious about all that, although that scenario would leave it extremely open ended for a sequel, yes?

I honestly don’t think that will happen, but I can barely speculate what the turn of events will be. Check out the official Sex and the City trailer and let me know what you think will happen!

Are you and your girlfriends planning a special outing to see the movie? Glammin’ it up with hot hair and makeup and a fabulous outfit?! I’m not sure I’ll be doing all that.. but we’ll just see now won’t we?

Melt Away Stress with Johnson & Johnson

May 29th, 2008 by Lilan

If you’re like me, returning to the office after a glorious three-day weekend was a hard thing to do. I decided I needed something to help me ease my way back into the grind without going completely crazy.

As I was getting ready to unwind for the evening after a long Memorial Day out in the city, I decided to try a couple of items from Johnson’s new Melt Away Stress line I received a few weeks ago. Because I rarely do baths (no tub in my shower), I took a hot shower using Moisturizing Body Wash. Immediately after, I slathered on some Dreamy Night Cream and sat back to watch some Flavor of Love 3.

Can I just tell you how great this stuff is? I felt comfy and cozy almost immediately. The Melt Away Stress line has yummy stuff like chamomile and lavender in it which are aromatic to help calm your senses. Not only did I feel relaxed (maybe it was the fact that I was finally doing absolutely nothing after a long day?), but I loved how great I smelled – although it was a little overwhelming at first, it mellowed out beautifully just before bedtime.

I recommend this combo if you’re looking to give yourself a quick treat without spending loads at the spa. It gave me such a good night’s sleep, I almost forgot that I was waking up to go back to work – thank goodness for a 4-day work week though! And now we’re already on Thursday, can you believe it?

Johnson’s Melt Away Stress products can be found at your local hot spots like Rite-Aid, CVS, and Walgreen’s now.

The Movies, Incredible SF Views, and Cake too

May 28th, 2008 by Lilan

For those of you who are not from the Bay Area, here’s my opportunity to share my glorious city with you!

On Memorial Day, the Boyfriend and I went on a date to the Metreon to catch a movie. Iron Man was so fun; it making me like Robert Downey, Jr. all that much more when I see him. He’s sassy and a great actor – when is the sequel coming out?!

Afterwards, we cruised around San Francisco for a few hours trying to kill time before our dinner reservation. While aimlessly roaming around the city, we started to realize what a wonderful day it was in the Bay Area and decided to play tourist. We drove through Fisherman’s Wharf and heading up to Telegraph Hill to catch the glorious views and spend a few minutes at Coit Tower. (more…)

Get Your Summer Glow On with Jergens

May 27th, 2008 by Lilan

With summer quickly approaching and frequent trips to southern California where everyone is expected to be a certan level of tan, I knew I needed to do something about my pale, Casper-esque legs fast! If you’re from San Francisco, you know that getting a tan the conventional way is hard to do since it’s usually pretty foggy or overcast in most areas around the city.

In the past, I dabbled a little in tanning beds and spray tanning but just couldn’t hang with how damaging those lights are for your skin, or the orange coloring spray tans gave me. So for years, I hid my colorless legs under pants but lately I’ve been asking, why deprive myself of cute little sun dresses in Orange County’s regular 75 degree weather? (more…)
