I’m just back from a surprisingly funky and fun trip to Des Moines, Iowa. Yes, cornfield-filled downtown Des Moines was a funky, artsy blast, home to many cute boutiques including Raygun, where I got this fun, long tunic dress and pink sunglasses.

At Raygun, touting themselves as the “greatest store in the universe” houses a boutique in the front with fun t-shirts and kitch gifts, while designers and hand screenprinters are busy in the back busting out t-shirts and more like mine.

The “Hell Yes” dress was just $25, making it the perfect swimsuit cover or to wear over skinny jeans for the fall like I am above.  The glasses were under $15, but are only available in store.

Next time in Des Moines, will I show Raygun? Hell Yes.

Last night, I was lucky enough to experience the exclusive Natura Bisse Beauty Bubble at Neiman Marcus and let me say, OMG! Amazing! If you are lucky enough to have an appointment this week through Friday, you are in for an amazing treat!

The hypoallergenic bubble, surrounding you with 99% pure air during your facial treatment, blasts your skin and body with fresh, clean air improving the treatment and product efficacy by 30%. I left the bubble feeling euphoric and looking fresh and amazing, virtually instantly!

What I loved best about the bubble:

1. The facial includes a glycolic peel – great idea!

2. The bubbling mask, exclusive to Natura Bisse – they have an amazing mask, used only during their facials and special events that bubbles up to exfoliate, cleans and heal. It was like nothing I have experience before and amazing!

3. The treatment included a facial massage with Natura Bisse’s “alternative to botox” product Inhibit Tensolift. AMAZING! My face felt and looked lifted and firmed. I could FEEL and SEE an amazing difference.  I went out post-treatment with no makeup and looked amazing. The product is also great as a supplement to injectibles.

The bubble is pure bliss, leaving me euphoric and fresh faced. Though the bubble may not return to the Valley for awhile, Natura Bisse will host more beauty events soon. I’ll keep you posted.

You can however, make an appointment at Neiman Marcus to meet celebrity skincare expert Kate Somerville on October 13th from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Enjoy a one on one consultation, a DermalQuench Treatment and a special gift with your RSVP. We hope the gift includes the celebrity product fav: Exfolikate.

Call 480-990-2100 ext. 2114 to make your Kate Somerville appointment.

Gentlemen, it’s time you learned to check yourself, with the help of a little prostate testicular teducation from Ted Baker.

Pick yourself up a boxed pair of boxers from the English-bred boutique at Scottsdale Fashion Square, for a little illustrative tutorial on how best to “guard the family jewels.” Ted Baker, in collaboration with the charity Everyman is helping to raise awareness for male cancer with the inside the box “briefing” (get it) on a self-examination.

Peek at the box and read more on how to Test, Education and Discuss here.
