Women throughout the world are revered in different ways in various cultures for their beautiful features.

Years ago, our Grandmothers bought two jars of face cream, one for day, and one for night. I always get a chuckle when I see those images of women from the Lucy and Ethel era sleeping with a thick white mask of goop on their face. And I still don’t get why it was called <... >

I hate this time of year. It gets dark too early, the twinkling holiday lights that made my spirits soar are gone, and it’s cold, just too damn cold. To make matters even worse, my normally dry skin gets even drier and screams for help. It’s a dermal nightmare. And though I might want an <... >

New York women now have more choices than ever!
By Jan Lee
Although we hate to admit it, so much so that we’ve added a French disguise to its pronunciation, sometimes we shop at Target (and we can’t wait to see who’s the next Go line designer).

You know something is good when top spas have their own nickname for it!

For some of you, admit it: you’re partly exhausted by your unrelenting search (and hope) that there’s some kind of topical lotion or cream that’ll actually live up to its claims. Dremu is a company that uses triple-refined pure emu oil in all of its products, and it’s that refining process that distinguishes it above <... >

Riding public transportation has become an eye opening experience for me.
