Mani - Pedi Edition ( Los Angeles)


Take a moment to indulge in my first ever blog. I will choose new subjects weekly to aid in your weekly "Fabtuals" (fabulous rituals). Being fabulous doesn't take alot of money but it can take creativity and research, that's where I come in. If you are recieving this direct I have chosen "You" to share my favorite indulgences in beauty, fashion, relaxation, travel and dinning. I'd love for you to share this blog with your friends if you think the info may add a sprinkle or two of "Fabulosity to their day!".
Beauty is my PASSION and sharing info is my GIFT, if you have any questions, opinions or beauty consultation requests please conatct me.

New Nail Colors For FAB "U"-
Zoya, Essie, Opi, SpaRitual, Deborah Lippman
_____________________________________________










Have you ever seen a FAB CHICK and wondered what nail color she was wearing?. I think all FAB Chicks have a signature color either we choose the pales from OPI (classic) or we go street with Chanel. Well I have a proposition for you this summer "GO BRIGHT" yes, "BRIGHT". Give your toes a makeover with the new Bright Colors from OPI Australia Collection with names like "Tasmanian Devil made me do it" and "KangaRooby" you'll have FAB CHICKS everywhere asking "What color are you wearing?".

I FEEL FABULOUS...Wearing manicurist to the stars Deborah Lippman's Neffertiti ($16). Two Words "GOLD GODDESS" yep, I know I love the gold but I "I LOVES THIS GOLD''. My bangles look better and My feet are sexier.
(OH! and This polish doesn't chip!) JUST TOO MUCH FOR WORDS...I Know its a MP (MY PROBLEM) not a YP (YOUR PROBLEM):).












IF YOUR VEGAN...You now have a polish aimed just for you try SpaRitual (sparitual.com) available at Beauty Collection also.

At Home

When I can take the time to pamper myself I like to do it right. I play my music, burn my candles and concentrate on me!. Here's an easy FABTUAL for your sunday:

1) RESERVE... 1/2 an hour
2) PLAY ... I suggest the MSBF cd's (MY SECRET BOYFRIEND) you know Thicke, D'Angelo, Olu or Marvin.
3) BURN...I suggest candles from Voluspa (Baltic Amber) or Diptyque (Baies).
4) PREPARE...Organize all products,elixirs, remedies and utensils for less strain.
5) RELAX...This is time for you reflect on your coming week.
