Put Your Best Face Forward

Eyes.Lips.Face is a cheap/ridiculously affordable makeup line that is backed by Nordstroms. First heard about them a few years ago in college and was recently reminded of them again by z100 and Time Out. Many of their products are $1 each...pretty good quality that will last you beyond what you expect from the price tag. Start a makeup collection or restock, ELF has you covered.

Work hard, Play Harder

Tonight, I'm checking out a free class over at the Learning Annex. I've taken courses there before and have always walked away better versed on a subject I knew little of walking in.

The Annex hosts seminars, lectures, classes and workshops in major cities around the country: LA, Minneapolis, San Diego, San Fran, Toronto (even Canada) and of course, right here in NY. In one evening, you can get the nuts and bolts for pretty much everything...from public speaking and writing business plans to starting an event planning company and becoming a real estate agent. Prices are fairly affordable- from free to $49.00. From what I've seen, the real estate and computer courses are the most expensive ones.

They've had an eclectic roster of engaging, high profile guest speakers at the annex- Donald Trump, Sarah Jessica Parker, P. Diddy, Deepak Chopra, and Henry Kissinger. Time Magazine has lauded the Annex for putting" a fresh face on adult education.”

You can find Learning Annex kiosk alongside newspaper kiosks (think: village voice, am and metro). Here's the site:http://www.learningannex.com/ to find classes and to sign up for updates.

See you in class!

...And now for the play harder portion. LADIES, listen up!
