So, it's a new year and I'm sure many of you have made resolutions to be healthier and look better. And, if you need help, several companies are selling products designed to help you reach your goal. But, are they really worth it and most importantly do they work?
Well, in a recent Washington Post article, Power Balance admitted that their
Power Balance bracelets do NOT improve balance, strength and flexibility. HA! I knew it. I tried one of these on a few months ago and did not feel a difference at all! But, then again, who really believes that a $29.95 rubber band with a hologram is going to improve their energy? Apparently, celebrities and athletes like David Beckham, Robert DeNiro and Lamar Odom believe in it. Hey, to each their own. If it's a lucky charm for you, work it.

Last week I brought you my
top 5 beauty essentials. Today, I'd like to share my top five cosmetic advertising pet peeves. This idea came to me while I was driving behind a super duper slow driver on Santa Monica Blvd. Seriously, the guy was going about 15 miles an hour in a 35 zone. In the left lane. I wanted to blast my horn at him, but I decided to be a good citizen and avoid any conflict. Fact is, I already road raged on a girl last week for blaring her horn at ME when I was trying to cross traffic at a blind intersection.
But, nevertheless, this brought me to pet peeves. People who can't drive are on the top of my list. A close second is people who don't clean up after their dog's poop. And right behind it, buying products that have lofty claims but fail to deliver.
Annoying isn't it? All the hard-earned money that I've spent on useless products thanks to the art of advertising.
You won't have to make the same mistake as I, since I'm willing to share my secrets for avoiding being duped by false advertisements.

It's only January, but I'm already wondering what the beauty trends will be this throughout this year. I was checking out the
2012 Fashion Week in New York and I noticed some pretty exciting trends that were sported on the runway for hair and makeup that I'm hoping will be sought-after for the year.
These are a few of my favorite looks for 2012 that are fun, cheap and easy to recreate:
