Damon Dash Dishes on Margherita Missoni, Life Lessons

image
This is such a fashion/entertainment industry scenario: you develop intense phone relationships with people in the business, never once seeing their faces, then meet them at a party and exclaim, €œSo that is what you look like!€� That is exactly what happened when I rolled up to Damon Dash at FIT€™s Annual All-Star Salute Gala at the Rainbow Room. Damon and I had a brief professional relationship when I worked for RZA and Damon was CEO of Roc-A-Fella Records. Rapper Ol€™ Dirty Bastard, RZA€™s cousin, was just released from jail and Roc-A-Fella had signed him. So phone convos between Damon and I ensued, but we never met. At the gala, I gushed about Wu-Tang and the craziness surrounding ODB and arranged to meet him at his office where I could really pick Damon€™s brain. In return, I got a huge dose of inspiration and a little window into what magic is really made of. Click READ MORE for more about Damon's latest endeavor!

Bikram Yoga Transforms You Into a Bikini-Ready Buddha Lover!

image
What€™s hot, sweaty and red all over? Me, at Bikram Yoga. Feeling the onset of bathing suit season looming eerily on the horizon, I figured Bikram Yoga would be the best way to get in tip-top shape for bikini time. This is not your ohm-shanti, incense burning type of yoga, Bikram is ninety minutes of hardcore compressions and poses in a 110-degree room that will whip anyone back into shape and super-fast. A friend and I committed to a Bikram challenge to help get ourselves looking hot for summer, two weeks of at least four classes a week. Read on for all the sweaty details!

Break out your plastic glasses and demonstrate your high IQ by releasing your inner nerd. I€™ve spotted the bookworm trend sprinkled around New York City streets since last summer, then Ms. Erykah Badu took it public, and now Teen Vogue darling Catherine Holstein made it the anchor of her freshman fashion show this fashion week past (which by the way, we loved, so keep an eye on her.) I tried to figure out the best way to get the look without having to go completely overboard, so click SEE SLIDESHOW to see how you can get yourself some straight A€™s.

Scrub-a-dub-dub: Exfoliate Your Way to the Closest Shave Ever!

image
By now you€™ve probably figured out I am exfoliation junkie €“ it€™s my answer to everything. Sort of like the crazy dad in My Big Fat Greek Wedding who thought Windex could save the world, I feel the same way about exfoliation. In the movie, though, Windex actually did save the day, so maybe I am on to something with the exfoliation thing. Like when it comes to ingrown hairs from shaving. Whenever I see people with that issue, whether it€™s a man on his face or a woman under her arms, I just want to pull them aside and say: exfoliate! So consider this post my pulling you aside.

I consider exfoliation mandatory: for the hands, for the face, for the feet €“ it just has to be. But if you suffer from ingrown hairs or simply want a close shave, then pre-shave exfoliation should be a part of your regimen €“ hands down, every time, no questions asked.

Jetsetting at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Spa in Bangkok!

image
What gives a spa the title of the best in the world? Stylehivers wanted to know, so I flew to Bangkok and checked myself into the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to find out. Why so far? Because no other spa has been so internationally talked about as being the most amazing on the planet, and The Robb Report (a magazine all about ultra-luxury) rated it as the best in the world for their 30th anniversary issue. Ratings-schmatings, I had to find out for myself what all the fuss was about and so begins the journey!

How To Keep Your Eyes Wide Open

image
You know that girl you were insanely jealous of when you were like five because she was so much cuter than you? She had perfect little girl hair, the sweetest smile and those big doe eyes. Now that we€™re all grown up and have come into our own beauty (thank goodness!) do we wonder what happened to that other, prettier girl? I still know my pretty girl, she is one of my BFs, and guess what? She is still super-cute! But while getting all dolled up for a fancy event, she gave it up how she still has those big doe eyes from when we were five. Read on, bees, to find out the secret!

Behind the Mask: Another Step in the Journey to Beautiful Skin

image
Some of you are lucky ducks and have super-low maintenance skin. You just wash with a bar of Ivory soap once a day and call it done €“ and still manage to look like Anne Hathaway just the same. Blech! Others, like myself, are constantly fighting an uphill battle to try to keep our skin tame and glowing. So this post is about a little experiment I did involving face masks. I wasn€™t using one but I felt like I needed to, so I picked one up slathered it on and now I am going to tell you all about it. Face masks can actually be sort of fun! Okay, maybe not the actual mask (unless you are using the Bioré self-warming mask, now those are neat) but what€™s fun is what you can do in one. A hot bath is fab while masking, the heat makes it seep oh-so-deep for an oh-so-clean result. Yummy! Then you can go the slumber party route and slap one on while your BFFs are over and scare people when they come to the door. Whatever the case, have fun because a mask is actually really relaxing.
