Hey everyone,
I wanted to close of 2008 with some great things we all discovered in makeup/skin products. I have a few surveys on my OnSugar page because I always hate having to answer all the questions in big surveys when I only have an opinion about 40% of the questions.
You're welcome to answer them all, I'd LOVE it, but if you're like me and you only want to answer the question about your favourite eyeshadow trend of 2008, feel free to answer that question only.

If mama's got a few minutes to herself and is looking for something that will take her mind to another world, she needs not look further than this gold and purple hardback book. The Help ($12) is a quick read that will steal her attention and her affection and leave her wanting more. Kathryn Stockett's first novel, the book about the relationships between mothers and the women that help them (nannies in particular) will have mommy laughing out loud, tearing up in the eyes, dog-earring pages with special passages and thinking about how she relates to some of the closest people in her life.

“James Coviello was inspired by exuberant graphic patterns and the eclectic style of the early-twentieth-century arts and crafts movement,” says hairstylist Rodney Cutler, who crafted the look for Coviello’s fall 2009 show. “To complement the clothing, we created soft, beautiful waves with a strong side part to give that classic vibe.”
First, Cutler misted his Volumizing Spray onto damp hair. Next, he used a large round brush in conjunction with the Izunami Agile Hair Dryer to add volume.

Headbands are a great way to accessorize and add character to your ensemble. Just your basic headband will not do anymore, the ornament headband is here to stay. I enjoy the different styles, there is one for every girl.

It has always amazed me how important some people deem clothes, shoes, accessories and alike. I myself have a penchant for long winter coats (sounds crazy I know, but I love them).
I have never however considered myself Fashionable or Glamorous, but I would like to think I have my own unique style and therefore am somewhat stylish.
But are these terms as distinct as they once were.

I was reading the NY Times' book reviews and I came across an interesting review on the book, Liquid Memory: Why Wine Matters by Jonathan Nossiter. (262 pp. Farrar, Straus & Giroux $26)
As background, I would hope that every serious wine drinker has seen Modovino by this time, a movie ostensibly about the world wine trade. if nothing else it is fascinating. I will admit here and now that I am no fan of Robert Parker nor of that other popular wine magazine which seems like it is at every checkout counter. however I dislike them for different reasons. Parker, at very least, knows something about wine, but his mere favorable mention of a given wine has been known to send it soaring. There are many popular examples. The other magazine, which shall go unmentioned, has attempted to manipulate wine drinkers into various drining habits. Not without its merits, especially in areas of travel articles, there is a common joke in the wine trade that when a wine is panned in the magazine, it is said that the winery probably forgot to pay its bill.
In any case, I thought this review was a pretty good one, of not only the book but the way in which we find the wine world today, so I am posting it here. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
