Fashion and Skin Care

Hello kids! First and foremost, I'd like to thank all you lovely (smart a**) people trying to challenge me with questions pertaining to nuclear physics or how to make a pizza from scratch... Ha ha... gave me some laughs. Okay, I'm just going to dive right into question and answering mode:

Let's talk about fashion for a minute. A lot of you are inquiring as to where we get our clothes from on the show. That magic is masterminded by our costume designer Jayne Marie Kehoe, who has an insane ability to find really cute clothes, usually on SALE! We all like clothes on sale. She shops at most of the same places we all do:
Macy's, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom's. But she does find a lot of amazing clothes for a great deal at Loehmann's! You don't have to spend a lot of money to look good. Our clothes on the show prove that. Most of the dresses Chloe wears on the show are under a hundred bucks. The most important part is wearing something YOU like, and wearing it with confidence. :)

Now, on to skincare: This is tough because not everyone's skin will necessarily react the same way to the same product. All I can do is tell you what I like, and I can interview my beautiful castmates as to their preferences. Right now, I'm loving a skincare line called "Epicuren." A lot of spas carry the products, and I like them because they're pretty much all-natural and keep my skin problem-free, which is always a good thing. But I also really like some drugstore brands. I think Oil of Olay has always carried a really good variety of products for different skin types... so does L'Oreal. A lot of skincare products are trial and error. You usually have to try a few brands before you really love one. Also, I don't think there's anything wrong with mixing and matching different brands, as long as they don't contain the same ingredients, which could irritate your skin if used too much. For example, don't use several creams at the same time with acids in them, such as salicylic or glycolic, or your skin will hate you. I'll keep talking about this later... just breaking the ice...

So, I promise to do an in-depth interview and discussion with my hair and make-up guys at work to give you a play-by-play as to how they put me together in the morning. But in the meantime, come back next week when I'll talk a bit about how I do my own make-up... and what I like. PLEASE continue to send your questions to me at: NadiaBeautyBlog@gmail.com
