MAC Love That Look Relieves My Case of the Mondays

July 27th, 2009 by Lilan

My absolute favorite thing about MAC Suite Array collection that released last year was the Pearlglide Eyeliners ($14.50 US).

With that said, can you imagine how totally stoked I was to hear that MAC’s Love That Look collection will bring back a limited number of these liners? Albeit I am bummed that there will only be four shades included versus the eight from last year’s release, but what the hey, some is better than none!

Love That Look also brings back MAC’s Starflash Eyeshadow formula (from last year’s Starflash Collection), a powder shadow with a creamy finish and some pearl and frost thrown in. This year’s collection features 12 shades – some repromotes and most brand-spankin’ new shades like Fashion Groupie and Style Snob.

Seafood Ravioli with Scampi Sauce

July 25th, 2009 by Lilan

Many of you who read my food section will know that I’m fond of ravioli and I’m always looking for ways to dress them up.

A couple of weeks ago the Boyfriend and I went to the Alemany Farmers’ Market and found these wonderful homemade ravioli and pastas from a local vendor. Looking for something new, we bought a package of seafood ravioli from them and finally made them this past week.

Our ravioli were filled with whole bay scallops, fish and ricotta cheeses. To complement the seafood in our pasta, we decided to spruce it up with shrimp and a classic scampi sauce with lots of butter, garlic, shallots, and white wine. All we did was make a little extra sauce, enough to toss all our pasta in it.

If you had seafood ravioli, what would you eat with it? A white sauce? Butter or red sauce? Let’s dish!!

Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco

July 25th, 2009 by Lilan

Yesterday my friend and I visited the Conservatory of Flowers, nestled in Golden Gate Park, as potential wedding site for her upcoming nuptials next summer.

It’s a beautiful space with cute gardens throughout. I couldn’t help but snap some photos of the flowers as we passed by.

I’ve never seen a red and white flower like this before, have you?

A Great Beach Body Starts in the Shower

July 24th, 2009 by Crystal

Let’s all admit it, half of a gal’s summer is spent getting ready for the beach AKA “swimsuit season”. No matter who you are or what you do, you want your body to look good when you get to the beach and spend endless hours exercising, dieting, and self-tanning.

But once you get to the beach, the sun, salt water, and sand can wreck havoc on your skin. What do you use to reverse the signs of damage? Here’s my solution:
