This blog is dedicated to my husband who sees my imperfections and doesn't mention them.

I love trying new beauty products. Place me in a Sephora or Ulta store and I feel I am in paradise. For hours I can pleasantly entertain myself looking at the plethora of different shampoos, facial washes, makeup and perfumes, envisioning myself as a size 0 with glowing clear skin, no split ends, and being stopped by every man in America asking “What’s that scent you are wearing? (Ok, maybe not EVERY man)

One of my downfalls , as my mother will readily tell you, is that I am a sucker for cool packaging and intriguing ingredients. That inclination has resulted in trying hundreds of different products over the years – good and bad. Some products I have used ever since I was in college and I would rather exit the house with no makeup and hairy arm pits then see my fav end up on the proverbial chopping block. Others I have readily discarded vowing never again to be duped by flowery ingredients which deliver zero results.

Because of my “beauty product love”, I probably have more knowledge roaming around in my head than Wikipedia. So I decided to start this blog to share my adventures with you on the quest for beauty, giving my recommendations and warnings so your money can be well spent. The subject matter may be a tad vain, but ultimately every woman has an innate desire to look and feel her best and there is nothing wrong with that. Happy reading, and if you don’t come for my daily blabberings at least drop by for my contest giveaways that I hope to do every other month.


The Politics of Hotness

sarah-palin.jpgA new study has found that right-leaning politicians are considered to be more attractive than left-leaning ones. Before you get all, "That's because Sarah Palin is skewing the whole study!" rest assured that the researchers showed American participants photos of Finnish politicians, so it's pretty unlikely that personal political bias played a role in how they ranked each candidate's attractiveness.

The researchers, from Sweden's Ratio Institute, concluded that conservatives may tend to be hotter than liberals because "people who are seen or consider themselves to be beautiful tend to be more anti-egalitarian and hence more attracted to right wing politics." Translation: Attractive people are more about helping themselves than helping others, so they become Republicans, not Democrats. Ouch!

Certainly my own political bias may be at play here, but when I think of the sexiest male wonks, I go right to Democrats: How can you argue with John F. Kennedy, Cory Booker, and Barack Obama? (Okay, Republican Mitt Romney isn't so hard on the eyes, either.) But in terms of the hottest female politicos, the right-wingers seem to have the edge with the likes of Palin, Christine O'Donnell, and Condoleezza Rice.

Who gets your vote as most attractive politician—and is he or she a Republican or a Democrat?
