New Beauty Test Tube

Here is my latest test tube! I can't tell you guys enough how great it is to switch your creams and wash every month or two. I always use the same serums, but everything else I mix up. The lady who does my facials also says is good to mix it up as your skin is different throughout the year (oily/dry/etc). Anyway, super excited to try all my new treats. ;)
I'll let you know if any of these items are worth buying.

**I was on TV twice over the weekend. Friday morning on NBC's morning news (I had NO idea they were using Rent the Runway footage so I missed it) and again on Saturday night. Here is the clip from NBC's 24/7:

WGN morning news

Dress: Tibi c/o Rent the Runway

On Tuesday morning I was out the door by 6:00am and found myself at the WGN studios around 6:45. We had our hair done by the Maxine Salon again (I LOVE the staff there! I will be going there to get my hair done from now on!) and we actually got to get ready in Bozo the Clown's old dressing room! I have to say, it was a bit creepy with the clown stuff all around, but as a kid who grew up watching Bozo, it was still pretty cool!
We were on live at 8:45am and the segment was a little different from the one we did the day before. There was no studio audience and there was a runway for us to walk! Thankfully there was not enough time to get scared as we were brought in the room and then a few minutes were live.
I think we all did a great for our second time live TV! Here are a few shots from the morning:

CBN Rent the Runway party

Tuesday I attended the fabulous CBN Rent the Runway party at Maxine Salon in Chicago. Everyone got their hair done in a beautiful braided styles for the night!
Everything was so gorgeous, the food that was being passed around was amazing, and the drinks were flowing. I got to wear the David Meister dress I had worn on Windy City Live earlier that day (can you even get sick of a sequin dress?!).
I just love the Chicago Blogger Network events. Something about being in a room with a bunch a people that all do a similar thing as you just feels like home. ;) It was great seeing so many bloggers out!



So fun ladies! It was very nice meeting so many new people and great to see the ones that I already know and love!

**WE recorded a segment for NBC's 24/7 that will air 1-8-11 at 12:30am

Windy City Live

Yesterday morning was so amazing! I headed downtown and found myself at the ABC studios around 6:30am. By 7:30 our hair was getting done by the staff at Maxine Salon and then we did a quick walk through on the Windy City Live set.

By 8:50 we were dressed and ready to go on. I swear I was the only nervous one! These girls are amazing and everyone did such a great job!
Here's a shot right before we went on in my gorgeous David Meister dress. This dress retails for $460, but you can rent it for just $75!!
