Glam Slam: The Friday Five

Thank God It’s Friday and you know what that means! Here are five things I’m obsessing over this week!

1) VALERIE BERTINELLI – Hello?! The 48-year-old’s body looks amazing on the cover of People magazine in a teeny green bikini. Tipping the scales at 172 pounds only two years ago, she’s now at a jaw-dropping 123! Kudos to Valerie who has never looked, or felt, better!

2) BRIGHT POLISH – Natalie Portman confidently nailed a bright yellow manicure earlier this month. I love a pop of color in the Springtime and one of my favorite ways to add a bright hue without overdoing it is through nail polish. My choice is bright pink. La Paz-itively Hot by OPI is my favorite and is available at just about any beauty supply store for $8.50

3) SPRING SCARVES – Scarves are not just for Winter! Ever since I learned Oprah’s trick for tying scarves I’ve been addicted. (So is Rachel Bilson–she’s always rocking scarves!) And I’ve learned that there are great lightweight scarves out there that can really add flair to a simple t-shirt. My go-to place for many accessories these days is Nordstrom’s “BP” Junior Department… they have a great and affordable selection of colors and fabrics.

4) BE A FLIRT! – FLIRT! Cosmetics is a super fun and affordable cosmetics line adored by Leighton Meester and they’ve just launched Lash-a-delic Fast Defining Mascara. In Mod Black, Boogie Brown and Groovy Blue, it delivers great lashes (definition and separation!) with just one coat… and lasts 15 hours! It’s a beauty steal for $14 and beginning in April will be available at Kohl’s or www.kohls.com.

5) STRAIGHT HAIR – Ok, these days I’m all about trying to give budget-friendly beauty tips, but sometimes a girl’s gotta splurge and that’s exactly what I did this week. I’ve had a lifelong struggle with not just curly hair, but FRIZZY hair, which I flatiron every morning. My stylist recommended to me this new Keratin Complex treatment, which basically infuses Keratin into the hair to smooth and straighten it. Let me just say I have never gotten as many compliments on my hair as I have this week AND it takes me a quarter of the time to do. It runs a couple of hundred dollars (worth every penny) depending on your salon. Get more information at www.keratincomplex.com.
