'90s Ladies Week Concludes: I Love me Some Olive
During the '90s, when it came to fashion, earth tones reigned supreme. Maroons, browns, heathered oatmeals... it was a veritable poo poo platter of waffle-knit henley tees (remember those?) in BLAH colors. One color in particular really "came of age" in the '90s, and that color is olive green. Even I, an adamant '90s fashion hater, submitted to the olive green. It was alluring. It had only previously penetrated the culture in the realm of the military. And suddenly, bafflingly... it was sort of chic. And EVERYWHERE.As phenom plant-based brand Origins was founded in 1990, it seems only natural that they chose olive green to brand themselves. So in the spirit of olive green, the impending holiday season, and the '90s, I hereby recommend the Origins Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins™ Be Weil Collection Gift Set
($79.50).
The set includes:
P to the S, Origins boasts an impressive holiday gift collection, which you can see in its entirety here. Moms will lurve their subtly scented Tree-mendously Ginger Set ($60).

Q&A: Shun that Shine!
My friend/former coworker Sarah writes:
Q: I used to use this Mary Kay product called Oil Mattifying Lotion and boy, it sure worked like a charm. But because Mary Kay is a pain to order as you have to deal with a person and an appointment, generally, I stopped using it. However, I battle shine every day! Do you know of similar products that combat such unbecoming facial glare, oh Beauty Blogging Junkie princess?
A: Oh, Sarah, I can SO relate. And BT dubs, flattery, espesh of the royal variety will get you EVERYWHERE. I deal with reflective facial skin ALL of the time. I also don't deal with pushy MK or Avon ladies. As I have an addiction, I try to limit my interaction with pushy salespeople who are peddling my personal equivalent of heroine. You know? Anywho, here's what I recommend:
Philosophy Never Let Them See You Shine ($20) is a fantastic pre-makeup primer that absolutely ASSASSINATES gleam on your grill.
Origins Zero Oil Mattifier ($11) is a liquid shine inhibitor that will reduce reflection in your lifestyle, stat. Also, in the same post (click the link above), check out the review of Benefit Dr. Feelgood, a perf powder alternative to tote around in your purse for touch-ups.
Do let me know how you fare, SD!

A Bout de Souffle (de Ginger)
UGH, you guys.I STILL am afflicted with The Siege, as I'm referring to the stomach virus that seems to have wiped out all of my friends and coworkers for at least four days within the last month. The most vile aspect of it? Nausea that won't quit. It's so good for your waistline. But it's so bad for... everything else. It's hard to sleep, watch TV, do work, read.
When I'm this naush, I make my own ginger tea by buying a fresh root and cutting it up into some boiling water. When I'm too hungover or sick to go buy some, I simply invest in some ginger ale. This time, I decided to pamper myself whilst enjoying the brisk, nausea-assassinating scent in the form of Origins Ginger Souffle Whipped Body Cream ($28).
Infused with ginger (natch), lemon, lime and bergamot, it's an instant spirit lifter that hydrates blizzard-ravaged skin like a dream. A dream from which you won't wake in a violent bout of nausea. Yay for small pleasures.
