TIP TUESDAY: You’re Sexy & You Know It

January 17, 2012 By SQN Events Leave a Comment

Sunday night kicked off Awards Season with the Golden Globes and we all had a glimpse of what the latest trends in fashion are (according to Hollywood stylists, anyway). Hottest colors on the red carpet included soft shades of nude, fire-engine red and peacock blue (our favorite!). We also saw gorgeous jeweled headbands (now this is a trend that will surely make its way into the world of bridal fashion), soft and wavy hairstyles that frame the face (instead of the slicked back ponytail that always looks a bit harsh), and most impressively, dresses that were modest but still incredibly sexy.

Perhaps you will be one of the very few women who do not tear up at some point at their wedding. In reality, most brides will have tears in their eyes at some point during the day – if you make it through the ceremony without spilling tears, then it may be your fathers’ touching toast that brings the happy water works.

My husband gifted me a treatment of my choice at the G Spa in the MGM Grand in Connecticut. I LOVE LOVE LOVE going to the spa! There is nothing I do not like about pedicures or massages or facials. And the G Spa has these amazing locker rooms.

Would you do a bird poop facial?

From bull’s semen to flesh-eating fish, women have endured some bizarre things in the name of beauty. But the latest treatment to hit high-end spas features what is perhaps the strangest ingredient to date: nightingale excrement. It is collected from the Japanese island of Kyushu and is being hailed as the hottest beauty wonder product.
