Holiday Survival- Combat Wrinkles with M Lab Anti Aging Serum

In 1513, explorer Juan Ponce de Leon set out to search for the fountain of youth. While he didn't find it in Florida, I do think I have found it here in the form of M Lab's Anti Aging Serum. Packed with the most potent, effective ingredients around, this serum is designed to kick wrinkles to the curb. It doesn't eliminate the stress of the season, but this serum will definitely ensure you don't show the signs of that stress, or your age.

Holiday Survival- De-Pale Yourself, and Sparkle and Shine this Holiday Season with St Tropez

"You make me feel like dancin'

Down on the Riviera

There's a town called Saint Tropez

Where a girl like you's a Pachanguera"

- Ricky Martin "Saint Tropez"

Latin lover extraordinaire Ricky Martin croons about a place called St Tropez that is clearly where its at, and who can really doubt him? Gorgeous beaches, exotic scenery, and beautifully bronzed people are a part of life. Here in NYC, its skyscrapers, yellow slush, and pale people as far as the eye can see. Sure, we can't all live in paradise, but that doesn't mean we can't have a taste of it with a splash of bronze against an otherwise pale backside... err backdrop. I introduced you all to the wonders of St Tropez's newest quick fix, the Wash Off Line, now lets stroll down a similar (but slightly different) venue. This holiday season, why not rock a defined, bronzed visage to go with that fabulously bronzed body of yours? I have recently discovered bronzing nirvana in the form of St Tropez's cosmetic line.

Holiday Survival- Dermalogica Microzone for Your Skincare Quick Fix

If there was one word to describe my current state it would be frazzled. The holidays are in full swing, this we know already. Unfortunately, what you might not know is that life has dealt me a swift kick in the rear end, and I find myself dealing with several very upsetting things all at once. As a result of said stress, I am left with a forehead full of bumps, and skin that has at the very least gone semi-insane. Fortunately, I was given the opportunity to remedy the situation with a visit to Dermalogica in Soho for a press event. Known for their natural products, and educational approach to skin health, Dermalogica Soho offers up a haven for exceptional skincare quick fixes known as Microzone Treatments, that are designed to cater to the busy gal (or guy) who doesn't have the time (or money) for a full out skincare experience. Believe me when I say that I came to find that these twenty minute targeted treatments are the answer to my (and your) skincare prayers.

Holiday Survival- Battling Winter Dry Skin Woes

At least in New York, synonymous with the holiday season is nasty, frigid, winter weather. To add to the stress that is already part of the holiday prep process, my skin tends to go insane and run dryer than the Sahara. Between high levels of dry, indoor heat, low air temperatures, low levels of moisture in the air, and lots of nasty wind, my skin gets introduced to the 3 dwarves twice removed- bumpy, itchy, and scaly. Having tried lots of different shmears, I am fairly confident that I have found the best weapons to slay my skin woes. Now, allow me to share them with all of you.

Holiday Survival- Bright Smiles

Krasey has a dazzling smile

Her teeth are white as snow

And everywhere that Krasey went

The boys were sure to follow

I can say with confidence that nothing is more beautiful than a bright smile, and that isn't something we can all take for granted. On that note, nothing is more embarrassing than a less than brilliant smile and unkosher breath during those wonderful holiday parties that we keep on talking about. With so many dental hygiene options out there, I feel like I have tried products from every category and at every price point. Admittedly, I can be a bit biased in my tendency to gravitate towards products on the higher end, but in this case my winning combination is conveniently available at only ol' drugstore.

Holiday Survival- Hairdo by Jessica Simpson and Ken Paves

Fact: I suck with hair. Give me a brush, a palette, and a face, and I can create virtually any makeup look your mind can think of. Give me hair accessories and a full head of hair however, and I am more clueless than a socialite on a chicken farm. Sure, I can flatiron my hair, but that is wear my mane prowess ends. Holiday functions abound, I find myself wanting to spice things up a bit, and I think I have found my own personal solution in HairDo extensions and wigs.

Hear me out on this one. Wigs aren't just for your Halloween costume, they are also a great accessory that can change up your look with virtually no effort. You can literally change your hair length, color, and texture in a minute flat, with no commitment, at all.
