HAPPY LEAP DAY

FROM CHANDLER BING

Did you know that this Saturday, February 29 is Leap Day? It’s a date that only comes around every four years to help synchronize the calendar year with the length of time it takes the Earth to complete its orbit around the sun - which is 365.25 days! It’s an extra 24 hours to do whatever you want, without feeling guilty that you don’t have the time.

In the word’s of Chandler Bing – “Can I BE anymore excited?!”

Available in individual seasons and Complete Series

The Complete Series

Some fun facts about Leap Year:

• Leap Year was first introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 B.C.

• The odds of being born on Leap Day are about 1 in 1500

• There are about 187,000 people in the US, and 4 million people worldwide who were born on Leap Day

• Leap year babies get their driver's licenses when they are officially four years old (or 16 calendar years!)

• How do you know if it’s going to be a Leap Year? Most years that can be divided evenly by four are Leap Years, with the exception on Century Years. Century Years are not Leap Years unless they can be evenly divided by 400

So what are you going to do with your extra day this year? On behalf of Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and the Digital, Blu-ray & DVD releases of Friends – we wanted to wish you and your family a Happy Leap Year. Since this day only comes around once every four years – it’s a day to sit back, relax and binge with your “friends.”

HAIR: 72nd Golden Globe Awards - REDKEN/Cutler

72nd GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS INSPIRED HAIR 

LOOKS WITH REDKEN/CUTLER STYLIST JENNY BALDING

Last nights 72nd Golden Globe Award recognized excellence in film and television but many of us (if not everyone) tune in before the show, to catch the red carpet fashion and hair looks. REDKEN/Cutler Stylist Jenny Balding was on hand to share the hair looks she found the most excellent & inspiring. 

SIENNA MILLER

"Sienna's hair is a fantastic version of a short bob – it's perfectly disheveled and textured haircut." 

If you're looking for Sienna's style, start with your hair cut into a mid-length bob to allow movement (if it's cut too short it won't have enough versatility). If you choose to create waves as did Sienna Miller did:

• Start by blow drying with volume throughout, using a medium sized curling iron to create a bend from the mid-length to the ends of the hair
• Finish by using Redken fashion waves 07 sea salt spray to create the perfectly disheveled edge. Mist all over whilst running your hands throughout.

LORDE

"Lorde's sleek low ponytail is a classic style that works on the red carpet and in everyday life.  Even if you have long very curly hair, you can still achieve this look with a little know how."

• Blow dry smooth and straight by using Redken align 12 protective smoothing lotion
• Create a deep side part to whichever side suits your face shape best
• Sweep into low ponytail at the nape
• Use a straightening iron to create a smooth sleek finish
• Mist Redken Diamond Oil High Shine Airy Mist to enhance dull ,fine textured hair for the ultimate sleek finish

December 10, 2014 – #nailedit! Emerging nail artist Ashley Craig (Fort Myers, FL) was declared the winner on last night’s finale of Oxygen Media’s innovative and creative competition series “Nail’d It”. Craig’s passion and talent prevailed as she won the coveted title and a grand prize of $100,000 along with a cover story in the March/April 2015 issue of Nail It! magazine. As a single mother, she plans to use the money to provide a better life for her seven-year-old daughter and further pursue her dreams of being an artist. Hosted by fashionista Adrienne Bailon (“The Real”), the competition series pitted 18 of the best up-and-coming nail artists against one another for the chance to win a life-changing opportunity.

“Ashley really showed her versatility, phenomenal skills and creative talent throughout the season,” said Bailon. “She was eager, humble and determined to win.”

Event recap: Kyle Richards, RESTASIS & Chronic Dry Eye Awareness (CDE)

KYLE RICHARDS TEAMS UP WITH ALLERGAN,

THE MAKERS OF RESTASIS®

Chronic dry eyes (CDE) and Kyle Richards? Yes, Kyle Richards recently teamed up with Allergan, the makers of RESTASIS® (cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion 0.05%), to raise awareness of the disease. Back in September, I had a sit-down interview with the TV personality, fashion entrepreneur and star of the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” herself (also my long-time hair idol), on the rooftop terrace at Eventi. Turns out, that as many as 25 million people in the United States report suffering from dry eye, as does Kyle. Personally, after multiple visits to three eye different doctors, I learned that I myself suffer from dry eye (singular, as I only wear ONE contact, on my right eye.) I wasn't surprised, as this condition has bothered me for quite some time. Kyle Richards also wears contacts and our sit down interview was interesting, with our discussion covering everything from make-up, wearing contacts (or contact for me), showering with contacts (you shouldn't), constant blinking and of course: HAIR!

I am such a fan of DVF and her iconic wrap dresses that meeting her unexpected and without a doubt, EPIC....

Oxygen’s Newest Nail Art Competition Series: "Nail’d It"

 MY Q&A WITH ADRIENNE BAILON, 

HOST OF "NAIL'D IT" ON OXYGEN

Calling all my fellow "fingertip fashionistas!" Have you tuned in to watch Oxygen's new show "Nail’d It", which premiered on October 7th and airs every Tuesday at 9:00 pm? If you haven't yet, you're only 2 episodes behind, so hurry up and catch up! The series pits 18 of the best up and coming nail artists against one another as they claw their way to the top to claim a life changing grand prize of $100,000. Host Adrienne Bailon is obsessed with nail art and she was the perfect choice to be the host. Not only does she always have a fly design on her nails, but she has her own nail polish line called Fingertip Fetish. I took part of a telephone conference and had a Q&A session with Adrienne, where I asked her what she thought about plain nails (gasp) her manicure routine, tips for bloggers on-the-go and her for favorite nail tips (hint: she loves the new "negative space" nail look) 

Photo: Adrienne Bailon on Oxygen's Nail'd It ....

• She is relaunching her polishes (organic) for the holidays
• Her own nail polish collection Fingertip Fetish is 100% VEGAN
• Hates/is over stiletto nails, prefers more almond-shaped look for her nails
• Clear/bare nails are okay and still beautiful (The Real co-star Tamar goes bare)
• Her fave polish from her Fingertip Fetish nail polish line is "El Barrio" a fire engine red, which is her signature style. Her "Made in NYC" collection showcases stunning hues that represent NYC: Bronx Bomber, Concrete Jungle, El Barrio, Lady Liberty, LES, Metro Metallic, Hail A Cab and Trendy Soho. 

I love when two Latina's talk on the phone. Before my interview portion, Adrienne said the following: This is how our convo went:
