BEAUTY 411
I just discovered Beauty Banter and am I ever grateful! This well-written blog includes makeup reviews, recipes for facial products, step-by-step directions for applying makeup, styling hair and more. Talk about a treasure trove.
One of the most helpful pieces of advice I found is for applying Oscar Blondi's Pronto Dry Shampoo. Given that the bottle has a narrow applicator at the top, this shouldn't be difficult. However, The Beauty Whore (this is the author's name, honestly) suggests putting the powder in the palms of your hands, pressing them together to remove excess then finger combing through your hair. Perfect for greasy bangs.

GOOD KARMA This photo made me smile. Maybe because candy makes me smile. Today I'm writing from the perspective of the owner of BelleRinger PR; I usually write as a consumer who finds lovely products or a blogger who enjoys the fun of posting. And I'm all smiles as I think about the many ways other individuals and smallish companies have helped BelleRinger PR during our first crucial months. One of the most (and least) surprising things I've learned as a business owner is the importance of working with a competitor.

Another great businesswoman who's been generous with her knowledge and contacts is Crosby Noricks at PR COUTURE . As a proponent and cheerleader of Fashion PR, in addition to being a great blogger, Crosby always seems to know who to ta

AROMATHERAPY GOES TO THE DOGS! Though I don't consider myself an over-the-top doggie owner - no nail polish, faux fur clothing or crystal jewelry in Frankie's (my canine) wardrobe - I recently found a product that makes our lives together much more enjoyable. Aromatherapy for dogs may sound a little 'Californian' but that's where we live. This line of candles from Hands N Paws may be a life saver for doggies with separation anxiety - yes, it's a real condition that plagues Frankie when I leave the house. With a pleasant scent that we humans enjoy - lavendar is my favorite - it also contains a secret ingredient that can be detected solely by our little friends. For those of you who haven't - I dare you to try aromatherapy for your doggie!

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET Nothing is exactly what you get when you purchase this non-product from British company I Want One Of Those (IWOOT). The item description on their site calls it " . . . a lovingly crafted vial of emptiness . . . " It's great for the person who has everything, doesn't want anything or just plain doesn't deserve a thing. The product struck a chord - it sold out in mid-December and IWOOT won't have new inventory until early January. Those of us with concerns about the environment may cringe - the non-product sells for $6.28 in American dollars and ships for approximately the same amount. Imagine the good those dollars could do if donated to a responsible green charity . . .
