Little Black Book: St. Tropez Spray Tan

When I asked you back in 2009 if you spray tan, most of you said that you didn't. However, it does seem like many of you use at home self-tanning products.

That's why I decided to Read more

Michelle Peck Madonna's Facialist, Celebrity Facialist

A year and a half ago I did a wonderful phone interview with celebrity facialist Michelle Peck.

You see, not only does Michelle work closely with Madonna, Naomi Campbell, John Galliano and many, many more, but the journey that she's Read more
