Happy Wine Wednesday Oenophiles! Gotta love when someone is thinking about us wine luvahs and our needs. Case in point: You are entertaining and you have a gorgeous bottle of buttery Chardonnay that you want to leisurely sip on your patio, but it’s really hot outside, you don’t have an ice bucket, and if you leave your wine outside without putting it back in the fridge it gets warm and tastes awful. Oh yeah, and you also want to stay outside and enjoy your guests and the beautiful day! Guess what? I have found the perfect solution to this annoying wine dilemma, allow me to introduce you to: Corkcicle ($24.95)

Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved movies and growing up in Los Angeles and being around the biz makes it even more exciting. And things get to a fevered pitch when the Awards Season rolls around! Parties, events and glamming is in full force and as media, I am fortunate enough to partake in many of the Awards Season festivities. Although, I rarely get invited to the actual awards shows, this year my Oscars dance card was rather full, let me tell you what I’ve been up to:

ARCONA Red-Carpet Radiance Treatment

For years, beauty mavens have raved about the amazing facials and products from ARCONA, but I had never had a chance to visit until now. I was invited to ARCONA’s Santa Monica Studio for the Red-Carpet Radiance Treatment, a decadent service with everything you need to get your face glowing for award’s season. This loaded treatment includes a Brightening Facial Peel, ARCONA’s Signature Facial Contouring to lift and tone, a hand peel, oxygen spray to plump and hydrate your skin and an LED treatment to rejuvenate your face. This wonderful treatment is designed to boost radiance, improve collagen production, and smooth fine lines. I LOVED this facial! It was active and results oriented without being invasive or overly aggressive and my skin GLOWED!

Joico’s Pre-Oscars Styling Lounge

Joico invited me to the swanky SLS Hotel to enjoy yummy nibbles, a micro mixology lesson and to learn all about the latest and greatest from Joico. First, we were introduced to Joico’s exciting new proprietary innovation called Bio-Advanced Peptide Complex, a peptide chain that repairs hair at the exact site of damage and prevents future damage by creating a shield of protection around the hair that lasts up to 25 shampoos (very exciting news)! Then we met the uber fab Damien Carney (pictured with me above), International Artistic Director for Joico, who walked us through the new styling products and showed us how to create the red-carpet looks at home with Joico’s reformulated styling products.

Angeleno Magazine Red Carpet Ready 2013

This is one of my fav annual events where I sip bubbly, schmooze, get pampered and connect with exciting new brands. This year a few of the highlights were Le Mieux Cosmetics Skincare, Naked Princess eco friendly glosses and a gorgeous fruity floral fragrance from Acqua di Parma called Gelsomino Nobile
