    Pamper Those Poor Feet! Our Favorite Foot Care Superstars..

    Greta on Nov 29, 2008 10:18 AM PST
    I spent last weekend having fun with my girlfriends in Las Vegas, and while the trip was a huge success, my feet are another story. In fact, the only adjective that comes to mind when I think of the current state of my feet is "mangled." Two very long nights of 5+ inch BCBGirls platform t-straps (so worth the pain!) will do that to you. But limping around in my ballet flats is getting old fast, and now I'm in the market for some serious feet fixer-uppers. Luckily it appears that there is an impressive number of stiletto-lovers in the Hive, because I've been able to find a ton of creams, buffers, wraps, and scrubs all made with the tortured foot in mind. Like this adorable Burt's Bees Pedicure Kit which looks tiny, but is actually packed with pedicure necessities like a pumice stone, coconut foot creme, and an adorable pair of socks to keep your toes cozy and soft. For a thick and creamy foot treatment, look no further than this handcrafted Eucalyptus Oil Shea Butter Foot Cream. It's blended with organic unrefined shea butter and is infused with anti-fungal tee tree oil to make sure feet stay fresh. Your feet deserve a treat! Search the Hive for more foot care superstars, and be sure to check out my SLIDESHOW to see my favorite items!

    This winter, if you are craving to escape somewhere that is tropical, elegant, and definitely splurge-worthy, consider the One&Only Ocean Club in the Bahamas. Since the Ocean Club was featured in the James Bond flick Casino Royale just a couple of years back, fans of Bond (or maybe just Daniel Craig) may already feel familiar with the resort's hushed decadence and luxe British colonial decor. Luckily, you don't have to be a dashing British spy to enjoy this fabulous resort located, very fittingly, on Paradise Island. What was once a private estate and mid-1900's Hollywood hot spot, the "Club" is now an enchanting escape and island playground for the adventurous travelers, the spa-lovers, the golfers, and the gourmands alike. Craving relaxation? Then grab a good book, a beach towel, and a frozen drink and spend the day on the resort's pristine and private alabaster beach. Craving excitement? Then walk next door to the neighboring 18-hole championship golf course, or stay resort-side to try some jet-skiing, snorkeling, or exploring of the Club's stunningly landscaped Versailles gardens. Enjoy High Tea, complimentary afternoon champagne (served by butlers, of course), and at sundown head over to the beachside restaurant, Dune, for cocktails and critically-acclaimed French-Colonial cuisine. So whether you come to the eat caviar and stay in one of the Club's private villas just like your favorite British secret agent, or if you are simply craving a chic yet exotic getaway, consider Bahamas hot spot the One&Only Ocean Club. Click SLIDESHOW for more information and pictures of the fabulous Ocean Club resort.

    Train cases are the perfect way to store your favorite beauty essentials in style. Not only would the classic cases make a pretty addition to any counter-top, but these timeless storage solutions now come in a ton of modern styles. Decadent chocolate mock-python exterior and heavy metal detailing makes it difficult to believe that the "Tricks of the Trade" train case will only set you back $17.50! For a train case with a little more brand power, consider investing the Juicy Couture for Sephora, "Juicy Loves Sephora" train case. With a striped exterior and quilted pink interior, it would be a perfectly sweet way to store your beauty faves at home or on the go. For more fabulous ways to store your beauty loot in style, search the Hive, and check out my SLIDESHOW to see my five favorite train cases.

    Mexico's La Purificadora Hotel Serves Up A Refreshing Place ...

    image
    Greta on Nov 12, 2008 8:11 AM PST
    Who would have ever envisioned that a colonial-era water purification plant in Pueblo, Mexico, could one day be transformed into a modern sanctuary? Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta had both the vision and the talent to transform the original 1884 structure into its current state, La Purificadora, a stylish 26-guest room architectural masterpiece and colonial oasis. When designing the hotel, Legorreta drew inspiration from the original structure's purpose by using "purity" as the guiding theme in his design. The 3-story open-air lobby of La Purificadora may be minimalistic in color (only black, white, and purple are used), but it's not without industrial-sized drama by means of a stone staircase that floats majestically down to the main entry below. All 26 of the guest rooms are filled with colonial influence, contemporary flavor, and spectacular views of the city. Tranquil water served as the inspiration for the rooftop terrace's 30-meter glass-sided lap pool, as well as the glass closets in guest rooms, and the glass balconies that can be found throughout the hotel. And what stylish new hotel can be complete without a trendy on-site restaurant? Well, La Purificadora's no exception. The hotel's ground floor restaurant serves up gourmet versions up regional Mexican specialties like mole-rubbed beef and conchinita pibil. So the next time that you're craving a getaway like you crave a tall and refreshing glass of water, consider paying a visit to La Purificadora. For more information and some amazing pictures from Hotel La Purificadora in Pueblo, Mexico, check out my SLIDESHOW.
