Yes, we know penny candy is a victim of inflation. But pop for a half a pound and mix and match all the favorites you had when you were a kid…sweets, sours, gummis, licorice, chocolates – go for your personal spin around the sugar shack. Then, share some with the next kid you see, and watch their eyes light up.

THE POWDER AND THE GLORY
Two women, the creators of the modern beauty industry, Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein, are profiled in this PBS documentary, The Powder and The Glory. They are credited with developing the $150 billion dollar global beauty business. These remarkable businesswomen were arch rivals, who were always one-upping each other, and who lived in New York City blocks from each other, but never wanted to meet. (Crazy they never bumped into each other at a party, either!)
This runs on your local PBS stations on March 23. Log onto PBS.ORG for the time in your area, or purchase the DVD, and read more about them at http://www.pbs.org/thepowderandtheglory/index.html

SKIN SAVVY SOLUTION TO WINTER DRYNESS
I was just in Los Angeles, where it was 80 degrees...then back to freezing cold New York City where it topped out at 20 degrees last week. A friend told me about Kate Somerville, a skin salon, and I hopped over there, her spot is on Melrose Place. It was astoundingly beautiful, lots of celebrities go there, and the products are packaged beautifully, so I tried something called Quench.
I swear my skin felt amazing for the entire day. It's kind of an extra dose of moisture. Check out her site and look around. www.katesomerville.com. I saw her on QVC today as well, offering it for a discount. I am always on the lookout for products that work, and this one seems really good.
