In this video we can see more Photoshop produced beauty… which I don’t know if I love (because now I know it’s possible) or I hate (because it raises our beauty expectations to something that is simply unnatural and impossible to achieve)….
Check it out!
MAC Cosmetics opened a new store at the Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica, California yesterday night. It looks beautiful as usual, and at a very convenient spot, since parking is only three dollars at the parking structures nearby or even free at the Macy’s Store in the Santa Monica Place. What did I dislike? The didn’t let me in!!! it was the big opening day, so they only accepted famous people, actually I saw Fernando Botero getting out of the store with a bag of purchases, so OF COURSE they didn’t let me in…. (sniff sniff…).
It is insanely great to have a new Mac Cosmetics in such a convenient spot!!! 
happy shopping girls!
Cheers.
Well, yesterday I went to Camarillo Outlet as expected, and well… it wasn’t THAT great…. its just a huge mass of stores, some of them cool brands, in an open and very windy space, at 10-30% rebate prices. I tried to buy perfumes but they were at the same price as in the airport… so no big retail there. I went to Clarks outlet and buy a pair of boots at “sale” (buy 2 pairs and obtain a 25% discount in the second pair), not a big rebate after all but…. at least I got something a bit discounted for the looooong drive (1 hour from Los Angeles). Also…. I visited The Cosmetics Store, which is the outlet store for some brands like Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown and…… of course MAC. I purchased some MAC stuff for 10-40% discounted prices, which was of course a deep pleasure. The rest of the stores had not that amazing stuff, I think it was stuff designed specially for the outlet, not the same stuff as they sell in Macy’s, Nordstrom, etc., so I avoided shopping in those stores.
Cheers.
The billionaire Carlos Slim, inaugurates in Mexico a branch of the famous store Saks Fifth Avene. It will carry the same luxurious brands and most important, at the same prices as in New York, Chigago and Los Angeles. It is located in Mexico City’s upscale Santa Fe Mall (Centro Santa Fe), located in Vasco de Quiroga Avenue.

To increase metabolism, always eat breakfast in the morning. Break-fast…break the fast. Don’t skip breakfast. If you wait until mid morning or afternoon to eat, your metabolism will run slower. Think of breakfast as adding logs to the fireplace. Your metabolism is the fireplace and logs are the breakfast.- Increase metabolism by eating smaller meals through the day. Eat 4 to 6 six small meals, 2 to 3 hours apart.- Don’t depend on herbal products to increase metabolism or energy level. Any metabolic increase will be minimum and herbs are not cheap. Instead, include more energy foods such as whole grains, beans, vegetables and fruits.- Park further away and walk. Use the stairs instead of the elevator when possible. Walk to the post office instead of getting into the car. Take your dog on a daily walk. Do more activities around the house to burn energy instead of wasting money on pills and potions that don’t work.- Incorporate a walking routine to increase metabolism at least three to four times a week. Walk 30 to 40 minutes each time. This is the best way to increase your metabolism.- Don’t starve yourself when trying to lose weight. This will slow down your metabolism in a hurry. Avoid 5 to 6 hour gaps between meals without eating.- Be committed to eating smaller meals at regular intervals. Prepare food in advance and bring it with you. Never eat sporadically and plan each meal. The common mistake is to skip meals and eat too little during the day. This makes you vulnerable for eating junk food later in the day. Eating to lose weight takes planning.Taken from: 7 Tips to Increase Metabolism
