Fab Chick: Need to Relax?
It's time for Spa Week!


"Relax, relate, release" -Whitley Gilbert on "A Different World"

How many times have you sat at your desk, whether at home or at the office, hunched over your keyboard with tired, worn out muscles? Just the other day, did you look in the mirror as you put on your make-up only to notice how exhausted and tired your skin looks?

If you’ve answered yes to any of those questions, then join the many women who time after time promise themselves a much needed body massage and/or facial but never deliver the goods.

Many times, as Fab Chicks on the go, we’re busy working a 9-5, taking care of families, and in between, propelling a hustle we love, and we tend to leave our bodies neglected. We fail to include the much needed ‘me’ time that’s vital to maintaining our wellness and sanity in today’s fast past society.

Well, I’ve got some exciting news that you are going to love. It’s time to hit the spa ladies. And this time you have no excuse!

Fab Chick: Introducing mySkin.com

The best accessory any fab chick can own is flawless skin. Possessing a radiant and impeccable complexion trumps owning a pair of Louboutins or getting your hands on that spectacular McQueen creation, wouldn't you say? Okay, maybe not completely. But I’m going to go out on a limb and say it's pretty darn close.

The first thing people usually notice about a person is their skin. Despite what you may want to believe, your face is always the center of attention, whether it's spotless or filled with blemishes. So let’s focus on achieving a spotless complexion. And if you can achieve that without tons of make-up, then big kudos to you!

Achieving great skin starts with acquiring a good skin care regimen. With so many different products on the market, it can be very frustrating to go through the process of finding what works for you. But don't give up. That superb complexion is out there waiting for you.

mySkin.com is a cool site created to help you achieve great skin. Instead of flocking to Duane Reid or Co. Bigelow to load up on a slew of expensive products you are unsure of, go to mySkin.com. There, you can get recommendations based on your very own skin type – and it’s super easy. All you have to do is enter your specific skin characteristics and viola; you’re presented with options that best suit your skin’s needs. Thus, reducing the dreaded trial and error process we all loathe. And besides, what could be better than using products recommended specifically on you?

Fab Chick: 82nd Academy Awards
"Who Sizzled & Fizzled" on the Red Carpet

Last night everyone took to twitter, including myself about all the looks that went down the red carpet of the 82nd Academy Awards. Sadly enough, the consensus seemed to agree with being very underwhelmed. I, for one was left still waiting for the big wow factor.

Where was all the glitz and fabulous glamour that the Academy Awards usually exude? I guess all the dresses we all were waiting to be in awe of were left in the designers' showrooms. Clearly, what made it down the red carpet was very lackluster and boring. Ill fitting in some cases. But hey, that's just my POV. Nonetheless, with the many fizzles that graced the red carpet, there were a few looks that sizzled. Check out what I thought made the cut, or just didn't quite measure up.
