While all of us here at The Luxury Spot love our holiday gifts to be fashion forward and beauty themed, not all of the people on your “purchase presents pronto†list may fit that mold. For those of you in need of a gift for the SPF-obsessed or sun-sensitive person in your life (common, we all know that person – ahem, my mom – who obsessively lathers on sunblock in the dead...

While we all lust for those big, beautifully wrapped boxes to have our names on them come the holidays, bigger doesn’t always mean better –hello, diamonds! Plus, you have to stock up on the small stuff in order to jam-pack that stocking (and we don’t mean with oranges and candy canes). So as you get ready to hone in on your holiday gift giving prep, I would like to suggest that... More...

You Are What Your Eat (and The Products You Use)
“You are what you eat†and the concept of “beauty from the inside out†have proliferated our beauty-speak and skin-care [...]
“You are what you eat†and the concept of “beauty from the inside out†have proliferated our beauty-speak and skin-care talk. We know that diets full of saturated fats and refined sugars are inconsistent with health and beauty and that all-natural is best for our bodies. Yet all too often we mistakenly counter this by slathering on unnatural skincare products. According to... More...

As a newly single New Yorker, I have quickly become all too familiar with the debacle that has become known as dating. Let’s be honest: most blind-dates actually make you wish you were visually impaired and the cute ones usually have numerous strikes against them in other categories. So when I was given the opportunity to try speed dating, I figured, “what the hell?†–... More...

While I’ve always been a proponent of eating natural and whole foods, there are times in all of our lives when sitting down for a real meal (or even a real snack) is impossible. And although I still always prefer (from a nutritional standpoint anyway) to eat fresh foods, I now know that when that isn’t possible I can at least find a healthy alternative in SoyJoy bars. Baked with soy,... More...
