SEAL OF APPROVAL

I stumbled upon this jewelry company who utilizes old sealing wax motifs in their jewelry. They just opened in a cool neighborhood in L.A., right around the corner from where I used to live, on Third Street, in West Hollywood. The jewelry is reasonable and made from reclaimed gold and silver. Take a look at http://www.pyrrha.com. All the symbols have special meanings, too.

GETTIN' CHEEKY WITH IT...

Ever see someone on the street or at a bar that you want to meet? But you're too shy, too busy to chat, too timid, or just having a bad hair day? Then, get cheek'd. This supercool, new way to network is fantastic. No more crappy online profiles, no more inbox filled with total geeks. Instead, you hand that certain someone a little black card with a cute come-on such as "I'm totally cooler than your date," or "it would have been a pleasure." Then you leave. The card receiver goes to http://www.cheekd.com and puts the code number in from your card. When they see your short profile/photo, they'll contact you if interested..... Genius!

DECORATING MADE EASY

I found out about ONE DAY DESIGN SOLUTION from the creator, Jennifer Levy. She will redo a room for $500.00 and give you a consultation, design tips, space planning ideas and solutions, plus a color palette, furniture options, and even the web links where to buy the stuff, so you can redecorate easy and fast. You'll get a detailed PDF. This is a great idea, totally worth the cash if you've been stumped on how to make your space as she says go from "drab to fab." Visit http://www.cavdesign.com and see if you don't think this is genius!

DECORATIVE DETAILS

With everyone emailing and texting, sending letters and packages seems to be decidedly "old school." But, if you're someone who just has to put something in the post, this is a really cute way to dress up your letter or package. Visit www.tapeswell.com to see more.

CHEMICAL FREE SKINCARE GOES LUXURIOUS

There seems to be a lot of skincare out there for the green and granola crowd who want to go natural. But, I've just discovered a fantastic new line that takes all natural to a whole new level, plus bumps it up with super luxury. Just launched in Los Angeles, bodykor is a skin care line that features all organic ingredients, no dyes, perfumes, or fillers, no parabens, no petroleum, and no chemicals AT ALL. Genius! They even work closely with the farmers that grow the wild crop ingredients. It smells divine, and the products are only available online at www.bodykor.com. Please take a look, and find out how the purest ingredients can work with your skin in a holistic way to get you gorgeous.

P.S. I LOVE YOU

I was recently in L.A. and took a drive to Palm Springs. Yes, the bumper to bumper traffic in L.A. makes me crazy, so I was looking forward to unwinding at the lovely Colony Palms Hotel. This historic property has been lovingly restored recently -- the Spanish Colonial style hotel was orginally owned by a mobster -- so the vibes are cool! Boutique hotel with a great restaurant where you can dine under the moon and stars. Or go in the hot tub to relax...it's all here, with none of the pretensions of the other Palm Springs "cool" scene hotels. Spa, pool, gorgeous courtyard, all with a Moroccan flair. Great rates, take a look at http://www.colonypalmshotel.com/home.php

YOU'RE HOT...

No, not in that Paris Hilton kinda way...more in that if you grabbed a pan and burned yourself in the kitchen kinda way. If so, the remedy is here.

BurnCreamMD is a fantastic new product that helps burns right away, takes away the pain, helps them heal faster, leaves less scarring and doesn't sting. And it absorbs quickly. Created by a dermotologist who knows something about skin, this miracle worker is fantastic! Plus, chefs like Emeril and Mario Batali rave about it.

Perfect for workshop, kitchen, camping, first aid kit, backpack or your purse. Check it out at www.burncreammd.com. The 2.5 oz sells for $29.99 and the 10 packet "to go" size sells for $17.99.
