Feel Good Friday is a roundup of the things that made me feel good or that I’m grateful for all week. Join me and leave your Feel Goods in the comments!

No, Really, You Can Drink More Water
I’m a huge proponent of drinking more water. I write about it all the time, perhaps ad nauseum. But there’s no reason not to, as water has billions of health benefits, beauty benefits, skin benefits, athletic performance benefits, diet/satiety benefits … the list goes on! I’m usually pretty good about getting my 64 ounces in…
Cosmetics 27, My New Favorite Skincare Regimen (or, why I sometimes wish I was still a beauty editor)
Super moisturizing. Solid. Silky. Undeniably luxe. Chemical-free Cosmetic 27 skincare line is undeniably amazing and so very French. Cosmetics 27 dispenses with the notion of complicated skincare and focuses on a simple two-or-three-step regenerating skincare regimen: Cleanser 27 + Essence 27 (+Baume 27, if you like) and maybe Eyes27 (I didn’t try it). On the website they have…

Now there’s a new one, for awesome products that somehow make the world a better…
My Brush With Fame: SkinMedica’s Silky C+E Complex
OK, not really. Late Fashion Week news of the beauty variety … while the shows at Lincoln Center were in full swing, SkinMedica participated in the GBK Styling Lounge across the street at the Empire Hotel (gawd I want to go there and channel Chuck Bass) where celebs Lindsay Lohan (Mean Girls was on TV…
Glitter French Manicure
I’ve pinned it, tweeted it, and now am blogging it. I am officially obsessed with the glitter french manicure. It’s Rich Bitch nails with an edge—what’s not to love? PritiNYC Polish in Coronation + SoEasy Stripe Rite in Silver Glitter … hot. May also try again with thicker tips, perhaps a slow fade of glitter?
Hair I Want
Can someone please teach me how to make my hair do this? I have tried many iterations of the braid, but it never looks this smooth and flawless, blending in seamlessly to the rest of my hair. HELP!
