Hi friends–it’s me, Bree!

Hope you had an amazing weekend. Sunday nights are always the worst because the WHOLE WEEK is looming ahead, UGH!

Although, the good news is: Gossip Girl is on in less than 24 hours. Yeeeee!

According to the previews, this one looks good.

Apparently it’s Fashion Week and Serena ends up walking the runway and rubbing shoulders with real-life socialite Tinsley Mortimer. (And yes, that’s Michael Kors you see there below.)

FUN! But what I really want to see is Chuck Bass get a haircut. Just a liiiiiiittttle trim—ever so slight, but just enough to keep from looking like an 8 year old with a comb-over. (Oh. And while I’m making requests, I wouldn’t mind seeing Nate take his shirt off again! Ahahahahha.)

[Note to editor Mom: I do not wish to "remove the pointless punctuation and sound effects." Just so you know, Mother, every word and exclamation point are here for a reason. I'm EXPRESSIVE, okay?]

Watching Gossip Girl gives me serious hair-envy. Does every girl on that show not have ridiculously shiny, perfectly curled or sleek hair?

Most mornings, I’d rather sleep an extra 25 minutes (I’m a night-owl and mornings just aren’t my “thing”) than spend it straightening my hair. For this reason, I like to use products that are going to give me sleek, shiny hair without much effort.

Lately I’ve been liking Sunsilk Straighten-Up Shampoo and Conditioner.

This makes my hair soft and smooth, and it smells amazing. Even better, it’s totally affordable!

All I’ve been doing is running the straightening iron over my bangs and I’m looking hot twelve minutes after stepping out of the shower. How’s that for efficiency?

Talk soon!

Can I tell you a little secret?

I personally think Vanessa Hudgens is too hot for her pretty-boy boyfriend. I mean, really, how long does that dude stand in front of a mirror to get his hair to look like that?

I have issues with boys that are groomed to perfection. Hate me if you must, but I like a boy that’s a little disheveled and not afraid to get his hands dirty (although, let me add that he MUST smell good).

Last night at the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party, Makeup Artist and Vanitymark founder, Brett Freedman, created the look you see here on Vanessa Hudgens.

Here’s how he did it:

“Vanessa was still bronzed from touring in Mexico, so we wanted to play up her glow with makeup and hair that would suit her luminous skin. I cleaned up her brows with Vanitymark’s Ultra-Brow Dual Sided Tweezer, then added a bit of drama and definition with Vanitymark’s Ultra-Prow Powder in Milk Choco. To even her skin tone, I blended Neutrogena’s Visibly Even Liquid Makeup in True Beige and set it with Stila Sun in Shade 2. To warm up her cheeks, I lightly blended Rosie Jane’s New Cheek Gloss in Peony and swept Benefit’s 10 all over as a highlighter. To give Vanessa a pale, matte eye, I swept MAC’s Spiced Chocolate Eye Shadow x 4 all over her lid, before lining her lashes with Kat Von D’s Autograph Eyeliner in Love Metal, and coated her lashes 4 times with Vanitymark’s the LASH Mascara. I brushed on Benefit’s Her Glossiness in Who Are You Wearing before misting Vanessa with Vanitymark’s SHIMMERSKIN Body Glisten on her arms, chest and back to really amp up her natural glow.”

I must get my hands on some of that Vanitymark SHIMMERSKIN Body Glisten. So pretty!

Last month we had a little hair coloring party sponsored by L’Oréal Paris for their New Féria Multi-Faceted Shimmering Colour with Bailey and her friends.

Bailey and I, along with our friends, are always coloring our hair at home. It’s quick and easy (as long as it doesn’t splash on the cabinets leaving dark stains that DO NOT GO AWAY forcing me to strip and re-stain them before my mother gets home–which could pose a problem for those under age 18 as painting supplies are apparently the drug of choice for some teenagers. Who knew?!) and the results are usually great.

The first thing Bailey noticed about New Féria Multi-Faceted Shimmering Colour is the thicker formula which makes application easier and less messy. Also, the smell was actually pleasant, unlike other formulas we’ve used in the past.

After the color was rinsed off and they dried their hair, everyone could not believe how soft and shiny their hair felt. And the color looked amazing:

I’ve been waiting for this day ALL SUMMER.

Gossip Girl Season 2 premieres tonight and I am sooooo ready!

WHO is Nate in bed with? (Rumor has it, she’s a MILF—apparently Nate went a leeeeettle too far and ended up having to RUN FROM HER HUSBAND!)

(Well, at lease he’s not on Chuck’s couch with her. I’ll give him that much.)

Speaking of Chuck, I totally hope this is him in the pool with Blair. These two make a hot couple and I can’t wait to see more of them together.

(Secret: Bailey thinks Chuck is smokin’ hottt.)

I personally don’t care if Serena loses her good-girl image now that she and Dan broke up. Every girl needs a little excitement in her life, right?

As long as her hair continues to look amazing, all is well as far as I’m concerned.

Will you be glued to your TV sets tonight?

See the Gossip Girl Season 2 Premiere TONIGHT , Monday 9/1 at 8/7c on The CW .
