Summer is here and you know what that means-we’re suddenly in the mood to pare down our beauty routine but still look FABU! What’s a Glamour Girl to do when she wants to look fresh faced but still have the right amount of product to appear natural?

Answer: Make a one stop shop and buy a BB Cream. Often referred to as a blemish balm or beauty balm the initials should really stand for Miracle worker because a good BB cream is actually a primer,foundation,sunscreen and serum  all in one. Easy peezy and so do-able! Why not try one today!

The start of Summer is officially here! 

I  am so excited for the season at hand.  Even though I reside in lovely Los Angeles (where sunny days are more the norm than not) there’s just something about summer that puts an extra bit of “happy” in my day.

I look forward to the longer days of sunlight, wearing brighter colors (and less layers), evenings at the Hollywood Bowl- listening to music and admiring the beauty of  summer sunsets. 

What are you looking forward to this summer?

Here’s to a summer filled with fun,friends, family and fabulous fashion!

Leave it to J. Lo, to give us all a little “push” in our push up routine. La Lopez looks drop dead gorgeous in all the swimwear she’s sporting in her latest Vogue shoot.  (Photographed by uber fabu photographer Mario Testino). So.o.o.o if you’re in need of a little work out motivation (just in time for the impending swimsuit season-which by my calculations start in exactly 4 days)  keep the latest issue of Vogue near by. Chances are it will inspire you to do “one more” set….

Remember it’s called work-out for a reason.

We are BACK and boy have we missed you! Go To Glamour Girl has been going through some redesign and reconstruction to bring you a new and improved blog with additional features and a brand new  GTGG store filled with (what else) glamorous goodies. We will be fully up and running in the next few days and appreciate your patience through all the down time and redesign glitches. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your patience and understanding !

Stay Tuned..it’s going to be Glamorous! and FUN!

Mother’s Day is fast approaching and  time is tick,tick,ticking away for you to find the perfect gift. It goes without saying that I am a BIG FAN of buying something for your Mother that will make her feel special and avoid giving her anything even remotely resembling a household item/appliance or worse- something for the home.

If you’re at a loss for what to give Mom (because you’ve exhausted the usual suspects-a beautiful scarf, a bottle of her favorite bath salts,or flowers ordered from some 1-800 flower number which ALWAYS look better in the ad than they do on her kitchen table)-might I offer a few new suggestions:

 A gift certificate for a Beauty/Spa Treatment.

Purchase a service to help Mom organize  her closet or update her look.

When in doubt..take Mom out for a sweet treat.
