My New Fav Eye Cream
And it’s not even made for eyes. That’s usually the best way to find things anyways. Last month I made friends with a woman nearing 40. And she looked 30. Her skin was immaculate, so I asked her what her secret was. She said BeautiControl’s Regeneration Extreme Repair Hand Therapy. It’s made for hands, but it contains Alpha Hydroxy and she swears by it (she too found out about this lotion via word of mouth). Consider this my public service for the month, people. Not only is this stuff amazing, it’s cheap too! For a mini-size (which is all you need because a little goes a long way) it costs only $4.50.…

Technology Shows More Hope, AGAIN
Have you guys heard about this exciting new development in technology helping people with paralysis move again? Monkeys move paralyzed muscles with their minds: AMAZING! (a 10 minute vid from 60 Minutes) Again, I’ll happily use technology as my minion to walk again. Screw stem cells. THIS is future! – Tiff

Transformer Tiff
Seriously, I’d be ok with this. If stem cells can’t cure me in my lifetime, I’d have no beef in taking robotic technology instead. Potato, potatoe. So…do I look sexy or what? Don’t know if you’re in the loop or not, but there’s been a lot of research happening this year in the robotic technology field (2008 is the Year of the Rat afterall, symbolizing activity, hard work, and renewal), giving hope to people with spinal cord injuries everywhere; providing real belief that being able to walk again will happen in their lifetime (with ReWalk being one of the companies that’s gotten the most attention). Check this bad boy out (yet to be featured on this blog…I think):…

If You Love Billie Holiday, You’ll Love Her
Melody Gardot! She is really young, lovely, always wears super dark shades, has luxurious long hair, and taught herself how to sing after a near-fatal car accident left her stuck in a hospital bed for days on end. She’s awesome. – Tiff

Cherry Blossom
Here’s my new favorite perfume! My new scent – Cherry Blossom – is from Bath and Body Works, and it’s the perfect combination of both floral AND fruity notes (with notes of dewy watermelon, red plum, cherry blossom, and freesia). It costs a reasonable $18.50/bottle (1.7oz). Way better than department stores prices, and it smells just as good. I’m in love, people. – Tiff

Give Your Face a Mint Julep
Your face deserves a Happy Hour too, peoples. With that thought, you should go and buy a tube of Queen Helene’s AMAZING Mint Julep Mask. Here. For $4.29, your face will get to experience on multiple occasions the magical properties of this intense light green clay-based mask. It’s an oldie, but a goodie. Women for decades (and me the past 5 years) have been using this mask to clear up pimples, acne, blackheads, and other unsavory skin issues. Plus, it smells like you’re boozing it up with plantation owners from the 1800’s. Obviously, this scenario would only be cool if it ended with you freeing the slaves, then giving them your Mint Juleps. – Tiff

Wimbledon Whites
Wimbledon requires all of it’s players to wear white. Some of the attire that these talented, young, and wealthy athletes have come up with has been some awesome eye candy. Here’s my favorite look so far: This is obviously a pre-match look, but seriously, can one ever go wrong with a cropped white pea coat? I think not! Click here for more wicked awesome white attire from Wimbledon 2008! – Tiff

What’s It Like To Be Paralyzed
Wanna know? Really, really? Ok, well here you go, the best way EVER to describe it: Try to move your hair, as you would your arms, your fingers, your legs. See how it does absolutely nothing and is unresponsive? Well, that my friends, is what it’s like when a part of your body becomes paralyzed after a spinal injury. It just stops listening. Like you and a best friend got in a fight and are now ignoring each other. As you can guess, it’s immensely frustrating to have that ability siphoned away from you. Walking, moving, makes life SO much easier. A cure can happen, folks, and is closer than…
