Yes, you heard me. There’s a woman named Paprika – Paprika Steen to be exact. Many film enthusiasts would deem her a rare gem from Denmark, continually turning out tour-de-force onscreen performances. Her native Denmark regard her as “the” actress of our times. Others have regarded her as the Danish-American Meryl Streep.  No matter how the media or public views her, one thing is certain – Paprika has begun to make a dent in the upcoming Oscar season for her lauded performance in Applause, and I have the pleasure of being a part of her ‘coming to Hollywood’ venture.

Having joined the World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation (World Wide) family some months ago, I was excited to delve into the film distribution project that was Applause, particularly to infiltrate numerous marketing mediums in order to put the word out about Paprika’s Oscar-worthy performance. With World Wide’s diligence in full swing, it was no surprise that we would begin Oscar-qualifying runs on Friday, December 3. More »

Last week, MSN released a list of the “20 Best Celebrity Rumps” with none other than Kim Kardashian coming in at number one. Not long ago, women all over the country were doing all that they could to minimize this particular feature – diet, exercise, and even surgery. Now, with the likes of Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, and Shakira being so comfortable in their curvy figures, it seems that many women’s views have shifted. More »

After browsing the blouses on eShakti, I was fortunate enough to receive one directly from them. As you can see pictured above, the color is a dramatic hue for the summer. And that’s what I love! I chose this one specifically because I also love that it is a convertible-type top, as I can wear it strapless, on one shoulder, or around both shoulders. Having versatile pieces in your wardrobe is important, as it makes styling your outfits that much more fun. That said, I loved playing with this top; each look has a different personality. I like the strapless style the best, as it has the most no-hassle, comfortable fit. I wore it this way to a bridal shower this past weekend (Yay! My younger brother is getting married), and I enjoyed the compliments. More »

Choosing the right plastic surgeon can be a very difficult task. Just remember to always do your research before deciding on a plastic surgeon. Ask friends and family members for referrals, don’t be afraid to ask the doctor questions and be sure to ask to see before and after pictures of previous patients, after all, this is your body we’re talking about.

Most of us do everything we can to keep our faces clear and beautiful…whether it is with a regular skin care routine or with some help from a plastic surgeon and chemical peels. We’re always looking for the best way to maintain our youthful glow – regardless of our age! And those of us who have more of an oily complexion have an especially difficult time finding the right products.

Recently, I had the opportunity to try out a limited edition skin care set: the new Clarisonic Mia ™ Sonic Skin Cleaning System, Arcona Booster Defense Serum, and Arcona Magic White Ice. To be honest, I have seen the Clarisonic brushes in the past and been afraid to try it because I wasn’t sure if it would be too harsh for my skin. However, after just one use, I immediately fell in love with it. It left my skin feeling clean and smooth.

After cleansing, I applied the Magic White Ice all over my face and the Booster Defense Serum on my neck and around the eyes. Both left my skin feeling hydrated without the greasy stickiness.

If you’re looking for something new to help clear up your skin and hydrate without the heavy moisturizers, then I recommend checking out the Clarisonic and Arcona combination.

This partnership between Clarisonic and Arcona is fabulous and will only be around for a limited time! So be sure to order yours today.
