In a pickle for a gift?

Coming up with an original hostess gift is not easy.  But I think I've found one that anyone would be happy to receive.  My friend Brad started pickling 3 years ago and has made a small successful business of it.  An avid cyclist he delivers BOOZELY'S PICKLES AND PRESERVES all over San Francisco on his bicycle.

Garden of Cool at Eden & Eden

Yesterday I went to LAN JAENICKE'S trunk show at EDEN & EDEN on Jackson Street.  My friend Rachel Eden owns it with her brother Chas and son Harry.  The store is stocked with unique & quirky jewelry, home decor, vintage, as well as current designer clothes, small furniture and of course, LAN JAENICKE cashmere coats.  I especially liked the collection of little mice.

Highlight your Face

Have you ever noticed on the cover of Vogue how the model's faces look illuminated in certain areas?  Well, here is a make up tip that all the big makeup artists are doing.  It's called HIGHLIGHTER and it comes in many forms and consistencies.  The easiest to use is a stick or cream.

Apply it:
*  On the cheekbones towards the temple
*  Inner corner of eyes
*  Bridge of the nose
*  Cupids bow on upper lip (see J. Crew catalog)
*  Brow bone

Have fun with it!
The products below are left to right: Chanel's Ruban Perle, Ben Nye Luxe Powder in Ice, MAC Hush Frost, and NARS Multiple Luxor.  High Beam by Benefit is also a good one.
