HI!!!!
I’m not sure if anyone remembers me, but I’m Bree—-and this is supposed to be my Teen Corner. Hahaha!
I won’t bore you with the stupid little details of my boring (but busy!) life because the last thing you want to hear about is school, volleyball, babysitting, volleyball and more volleyball.
Also? Gossip Girl is back. Let there be peace on earth. (Gossip Girl is very time consuming, people. If you don’t hit rewind on your TiVo time and time again to analize Chuck’s facial expressions, you don’t know what you’re missing!)
On to the beauty.
This month I found two products that I can’t live without. The first seems kind of crazy, because I’ve seen it around the house for years, but I’ve never actually tried it: Aquaphor Healing Ointment.
Aquaphor is not very glamorous but for chapstick/lip balm addicts, it’s the best. The consistency is smooth like Vaseline, but stays on forever. It is especially amazing if you’re outside on a windy day or in a gym playing a sweaty game of volleyball.
The second is DuWop DoubleGlow7, a product I never would have tried had my mom not insisted. I never imagined something so subtle could make such a difference, but a little of this on my cheekbones or eyelids and my face looks all glow-y and pretty. Why would I ever go without it again?
Before I head off to cram for a test, I want to wish my littlest sister, Janey, a happy happy happy birthday. She turned SIX yesterday:
(Here’s the birthday girl with two of her friends from kindergarten. If you can’t figure out which one is Janey, let me give you two hints: LIP. GLOSS.)

On a recent trip to Los Angeles, we stopped into the Kate Somerville clinic on Melrose Avenue for a life-changing facial. (You think we’re kidding, but we’re totally not.)
A favorite of celebrities and beauty editors alike, Kate Somerville offers unparalleled products and services in an atmosphere so charming, we can’t stop talking about it. Our friends are sick of hearing about the clinic’s gorgeous fabrics and wall paper, the amazing treatment we received (our esthetician, Mandy, surely mistook us for a celebrity), and the way the pores in our skin suddenly became invisible—invisible—after an hour in Mandy’s care. Yesterday, our friend Rachel told us to just shut up already after we gushed for the sixteenth time about how amazing the Kate Somerville Protect SPF 30 Sunscreen smells.
After settling into our treatment room, Mandy talked us through each step of the facial process and gave us tips on how to maintain healthy skin between appointments (hint: Clarisonic Skincare Brush combined with Kate Somerville Gentle Daily Wash).
We also learned of the many services and procedures the clinic offers including injectibles like botox and fillers and laser treatments like Laser Genesis and Solar Genesis for treating wrinkles, skin texture, sun spots and age spots.
The next time you’re in LA, stop in and say hello to Mandy and be prepared to walk out with the best skin your face has ever seen. (And don’t be surprised if you recognize the wall paper from our newly-renovated living room.)
Kate Somerville Skin Health Experts can be found at 8428 Melrose Place in Los Angeles, by phone at (323) 655-7546, or online at katesomerville.com.
We first spied NARS Orgasm Nail Polish backstage at New York Fashion Week and thought we’d never survive the nearly-three-month-wait for it to hit Sephora.
We survived (surprise!) and now the peachy-pink, shimmery hue that has been loved by makeup junkies for years is available in a nail polish at your local Sephora. It is a Limited Edition so be sure to get your hands on a set before they disappear.
(Don’t fret if you can’t get your hands on a bottle—it will also be a part of the NARS Fall Collection hitting counters this summer.)
