I love fashion week in the fall!  The shows, the clothes, the parties.  What I don’t love is how exhausted I feel, and LOOK, at the end of it all.  However, this year it’s a different story.  I’ve come across a product line that actually lives up to it’s name.

Drumroll please…

It’s Luxtural (ta-dah!), and we’re going to be giving a set away to one of our iMag viewers.

This amazing set includes a hydrating mist, a moisturizer, and a serum, that all cater to the brand's beauty philosophy, that real anti-aging starts with proper hydration of the skin. But trust me, this line is perfect for all skin types, young and old. A good friend of mine recently returned from a vacation where she had to take ten planes in nine days.  Can you imagine how dry her skin was?  But, after using Luxtural, her skin was baby soft.

So what’s the secret?  All of the products contain Pure Pacific Rainwater, that has been collected before it ever touches the ground.  And apparently, the rainwater is what makes the Luxtural products easily absorbed and light on your skin.  While I’m not a west-coast-water-expert, I can say that when I tried a sample of Luxtural, it left my skin with a soft, dewy finish.  The serum, which is actually used before the moisturizer, is also a great primer and gives your skin a smooth finish for perfectly even make up application.

Its celebrity clientele includes some of our favorite beauties like Angelina Jolie, Debra Messing, and Jennie Garth.  But even if you don’t need to be red-carpet ready, Luxtural can still be the star of your beauty lineup!  We are giving away a set to the first Beauty-Full blog fan to send me an email about why THEY need a beauty boost.  Email me at fncimag2@foxnews.com (please put "Luxtural" in the subject line).

There are countless lessons you can only learn on the job. Sure you will make some unfortunate mistakes along the way, but you will learn from them over time. However, there are certain things you should know never to do - whether you're the CEO or the intern - you'll want to avoid these office blunders.

1. Never Microwave Fish: We've experienced this on our office floor, and it's not pretty. This is an easy way to lose friends and eat lunch alone forever. Burning your popcorn in the microwave doesn't bode well either.

2. Never Scream Over the Phone: You can make a personal call here and there, but getting into a full-blown fight with your ex-boyfriend in front of your co-workers? They want to tune into bad reality TV in the evening, not at the office.

3. Never Snoop through Your Co-workers Computer/Desk: It's tempting when you're sitting at someone's computer to glance down at their incoming messages, but it's an absolute no-no to go through your co-worker's e-mails.

4. Never Talk About How Much Money You Make: Did you just find out you're up for a big raise? Keep it to yourself. You don't want your co-workers a.) walking up to your manager demanding their own salary increase or b.) secretly hating you (they will) from that point on.

5. Never Call Out Sick to Hit up Bloomingdales: Yes, sometimes we could all use some retail therapy to de-stress outside the office. But skipping work to hit up a sale, and then showing up looking healthy and trendy in a new outfit? RISKY!

6. Never Over Share with Co-workers: Find a couple of friends you can trust in the office, and even with them be careful what you disclose. Your overly quiet cubemate doesn't need to hear all the details from last weekend's bachelorette party, or the progress of fungal infection cream you're using on your toe. T.M.I.!

7. Never Take the Role of Office Gossip: You may feel like the Queen Bee at work, but you'll be known as the one who spreads the juicy, and sometimes fictional, stories. People will stop trusting you with any information, personal and professional. It's always better to be known in the office as someone trustworthy.

What are some things you would never, ever do at work? Write in and we'll add them to our list.

I'm Rob-sessed.  But it's not just him, it's the entire "Twilight" machine; the books, the movies, the MAKEUP!

Yup, you heard it right here!  My two greatest loves are about to combine. "Twilight" is entering the makeup realm.  DuWop cosmetics, the brand used on the "New Moon" set, is launching its own "Twilight" line (yay!). 

So attention all you "Twilight" fans, the first item to come out of the coffin is here - a limited-edition Lip Venom V.  According to Du Wop, it's not the "typical Lip Venom".  Instead it's a shimmering crimson lip stain suspended in a venom-laced liquid lip conditioner.  I have yet to try it myself, but I imagine it's got a pretty potent bite! 

But if you want this you're gonna have to wait!  The preview is already on BACKORDER.  That really "bites" doesn't it?

Fear not my little vamp-loving ladies, because I've got a homemade lip plumping recipe for you, that is guaranteed to get you more Pattinson approved pucker-time!

MAKE YOUR OWN LIP PLUMPER:

All you'll need are the following household items:

• Petroleum jelly
• Cinnamon Leaf essential oil
• Peppermint, Spearmint, or Menthol essential oil
• Cayenne powder
• Small jar, pill box, or any other tight storage for your lip balm.

Step 1

Fill a small container, or old lipgloss tin, with a decent amount of petroleum jelly. Depending on the size of your container and the amount of lip balm you wish to make, you can add as much or as little as you like.

Step 2

Place one or two drops of Cinnamon leaf oil in the middle of the petroleum jelly. Follow that with two drops of your peppermint, spearmint, and menthol oils. I strongly suggest that you test it on your lips before proceeding.

For those who want a fuller lip (think post-major-make-out-sesh with Rob) add a a few more drops of the cinnamon oil. If it is already too strong for you, add a drop of your mint oil and/or another tablespoon of petroleum jelly to even it out. Follow by adding a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for added kick.

This concoction should definitely do the trick.  Like any great homemade product, use it cautiously and sparingly.  All lip plumpers have a tendency to dry out your lips, so alternate using this with a regular moisturizing gloss. 

For those brave enough to try this lip plumper, tell me what you think! Are any of you as excited about the "Twilight" brand of makeup as I am?  Or is it just another ploy to get us Twihards to spend our hard earned cash? Let me know below!

Recently one of my girlfriends wrote me an email announcing that in the upcoming months she is going to be moving in with her boyfriend. Although she was extremely excited, she also expressed some anxiety. But instead of being concerned about sharing a bathroom or a closet with him, she was more apprehensive about sharing a kitchen. She wrote, "The only thing I'm a little nervous about is that I think the move will make me fat. I eat really healthy when I'm home alone, but if we're grocery shopping and eating out together all the time I feel like it will be hard to stick to my diet. I mean, will he think it's weird that basically everything I keep in my fridge is low-calorie (cheese, butter, bread - you name it, I've got it!). And what's going to happen when he starts to stock up our fridge with his favorite foods? Between the burgers, beer, and chips I don't know if I'll be able to resist."

Well my friend and fellow nutritionista, you're in luck. Although it may be difficult at first, moving in together doesn't mean you have to move up a pants size. I went to an expert on the subject, Registered Dietitian, Cynthia Sass and got her advice on how to merge your eating habits with your man. Here is what she had to say ...

Cynthia Sass: Your boyfriend or hubby is one of the greatest influences on what, when and how much you eat. Couples eat together more often than they do just about any other activity and when you move in together, things can get a little sticky. You may be lucky enough to have separate closets or bathrooms, but chances are you'll share one kitchen - and when your foods are under the same roof, the potential for weight gain (especially for her) and food-related conflict skyrockets. Here are my tips for avoiding both:

- Have "me," "you" and "us" food spaces. Chances are you and your guy are going to have different food preferences and some of his may be foods you prefer to avoid, from bloody, raw meat that grosses you out to salt and vinegar chips you can't resist diving into. Create separate areas in the fridge, freezer and cupboards for each of your foods and a common area for foods you share. Out of sight, out of mind goes a long way for preventing arguments (e.g. your meat juices dripped on my hummus container!) and temptations (if those chips are the first thing you see when you open the cabinet, chances are you'll be polishing them off). Men and women nearly always separate their bathroom toiletries - doing the same in the kitchen just makes sense.

- Agree to a "no food gifts" policy. Some guys (or gals) grew up with the idea that food = love. Food is a powerful and intimate connector, but bringing each other food favorites as a sign of affection can lead to major poundage and health problems like diabetes and high cholesterol. Tell each other non-food ways you love to be loved. My hubby knows back rubs and hand written notes are at the top of my list.

- Squelch eating as entertainment. After moving in, a lot of couples start going out less in favor of ordering pizzas and Netflix films or grilling at home. Or they start doing less date stuff on the weekends (like going to a concert or comedy club) and more eating stuff like going to brunch. Try to keep your social life active and when you're deciding what to do, make food secondary instead of the main attraction.

- Never "split." Even at the same height, men burn about 20% more calories at rest and because men are typically taller, the calorie divide is usually wider. If a couple splits a pizza or brownie sundae, she's going to wind up in a much greater calorie surplus than he will. Bottom line: men and women's metabolisms are like SUV vs. compact cars. It's best to customize your portion to your body's calorie burning engine. A 60/40 share or separate meals make more sense if you want to avoid "cohabitation weight gain." Click here for more tips on eating healthy while dining out.

- Confront Your Issues Right Away. If you feel a food conflict brewing (you disagree about how to feed your new puppy, you're never hungry at the same time, he pushes food on you after you've said no ... ), talk about it right away. Ignoring it can result in building resentment that affects the quality of your relationship. Bring it up at a quiet time when you can talk it through and use non-accusatory language like, "Can I talk to you about something? I've noticed that ..." instead of, "It really bothers me when you ..."

Last Thursday I went on a shoot with celebrity Chef Danny Boome for a new series we are doing called "iMag's Cooking School." During the shoot I was completely amazed at 1. how quickly he could slice and dice, 2. how funny he is off-camera, and 3. how much I really didn't know about preparing vegetables.

Danny and me at the shoot!

As a Nutritionista, I'm constantly making meals that are loaded with veggies. One vegetable I've been eating a lot of lately are red peppers. They are loaded with twice the amount of vitamin C as oranges and are very tasty. From fajitas - to stir-fry - to even pasta, I've been putting them in almost everything. However, every time I try to cook with these crunchy vegetables I never know how to cut them. I end up chopping them up into uneven shapes or struggling to get rid of the seeds.

Fortunately, during the shoot Danny Boome came to my rescue! For one of of videos he demonstrated all the proper techniques for cutting produce and a pepper was at the top of his list. So to help all of you out there who are just as clueless as I was, I have created a simple step-by-step visual to help you perfectly cut your pepper.

To Start: Put your pepper on it's side and grab a sharp knife.

Step 1: Cut off the top of the pepper.

Step 2: Remove the stem from the top (it should just pop out) and leave the cap of the pepper to the side. The cap can be used as garnish later.

Step 3: Run a knife through the interior of the pepper in a circular motion. This will remove the core, which contains a lot of seeds.

Step 4: Turn your pepper upside down and slice it in half.

Step 5: Flip the half of your pepper over so the interior is facing you and run your knife gently through it to cut out the membrane (this is the thick area on the inside of the pepper).

Step 6: Flip your pepper so the exterior is facing you. Place two fingers on the back of your knife and slice long, even pieces. Repeat this with the other half of the pepper.

Voila! You have now achieved pepper perfection.

Stay tuned to iMag's Food Page for Danny's upcoming videos. Thanks for reading my blog!

Hey iMaggers!

Fantasy football season is just around the corner! You ready to play!? Ok, secret confession: I don’t fully understand football nor have I ever participated in this “Fantasy Football” thing. However, I am an active participant in many of the events revolving around football. You know, going out with friends to take in a game, feigning competitiveness with strangers at the bar, or even just a Sunday gathering with family and food!

But as all my guy friends compete over top picks, study stats, make projections for the season and bond over drafting their fantasy teams — it got me thinking — us ladies are missing out. Perhaps, fantasy football is not exactly our thing, but there has to be a game for gals that combines competitiveness and imagination the way drafting players does for dudes. “Fantasy Dating”: the female version of Fantasy Football! Instead of drafting the most skilled and highly ranked football players (not so exciting), ladies should pick their favorite celebs to go on a hot and steamy date with! I called it "Fantasy Dating"! Sounds like a pretty good deal huh?

Take the charming and charismatic qualities you look for in a potential real date and what you know about a certain actor then take your pick! From courageous Jason Bourne to the hysterical Bruno, I am sure this draft pick will score you a touchdown in the dating game. Take your pick a' la fantasy dating style of 5 from the 10 below.

Johnny Depp — The perfect combination of smoldering sexiness and sensitivity. He’s introspective, intriguing and seemingly unimpressed by his own fame. Depp is a family man on top of being blessed with amazing bone structure, a great head of hair and a style all on his own. Who wouldn’t want to date Jack Sparrow or the current day John Dillinger?!

Steve Carell — He’s the perfect funnyman to have running around The Office and he can even sing like Dan In Real Life – Now, there aren’t many women that wouldn’t want this 40 Year Old Virgin hangin’ around … he can make any dinner date end in an LOL.

Brad Pitt — From Thelma and Louise to Benjamin Button, this dreamy eyed boy has been at the top of women’s lists for years and nothing has changed! Not only are his looks to die for, but he wins father of the year and proves that chivalry ain’t dead. This daddy can’t wait to keep adding to the fam … he will even hold the door for you!

Robert Pattinson — Be.a.ut.iful. He’s possibly Hollywood’s next golden boy. Between the accent and unruly hair, and the James Dean qualities – he is making woman from 9 to 90 years old get butterflies. He’s deep and introspective, and has a certain smoldering intensity for someone who's only 23. Only time will tell if he’s a fad or here to stay — but in the meantime, enjoy ladies!

George Clooney — The man only gets better with age. Honestly, how many times can he be named “The Sexiest Man Alive?” Between the salt and pepper locks and the perfect grin, you would be hard pressed to find a woman who wouldn’t want a date with him! He has a sprawling estate in Italy and drives a motorcycle!

Shia LaBeouf — He’s got boyish good looks and a somewhat of a “I don’t give a damn attitude.” So he’s had some minor run-ins with the law … it's bad boy attitude. He’s adorable, talented (who didn’t love Disturbia?!) and he’s got a great name. This kid could be the next big thing (and maybe) your next date?

Bradley Cooper — Why are we all only taking notice of him now? He has a chiseled jaw line, hair that falls in all the right places, and one hit movie after the other. He’s the perfect combo of rugged, endearing, sensitive and funny. Ladies — who wouldn’t want to hang out with this Hangover hunk?

Christian Bale — Little Women, Batman, The Terminator, Public Enemies – The man has a body that just won’t quit. He is the epitome of a manly man with rugged good looks and chiseled muscles, but also has a lurking sensitivity. Ok, so he’s rumored to have a few anger issues … whatever, the guy is H-O-T.

Matt Damon — How can you not love Will Hunting?! Most of us have been crushing on him since the late '90s … I mean he’s smart (Harvard dropout), adorable (that smile), a family man (two precious kids) and best friends with Ben, Brad, and George (hello Oceans 11)!

Ashton Kutcher — He’s dynamic, engaging, into older women and doesn’t take himself too seriously. He’s got business smarts – (Punk’d). He can be solely proud of Twitter’s popularity. Who can deny him; he’s gorg??

Who would your top 5 drafts for this season’s “Fantasy Dating” be?

The Coppertone chick has some serious competition ... sunscreen has a new celebrity face.  And it's certainly bound to get more laughs then a dog-bears-all backside. 

Ready? 

Wait for it ...

Wait for it ...

I know.  AWESOME!

Will Ferrell has gone back to his college roots to "hit the bottle" once again.  No, his "Frank the Tank" beer guzzling alter ego is not streaking through a quad near you.  Instead, he's gone from the big screen to SUN screen, donating his mug to charity. Three new Ferrell "flavors of SPF", each with a different design, will raise money for the scholarship fund, "Cancer for College", which pays for everything from text books to four-year scholarships for kids who have battled cancer.  Since its inception, Cancer For College has granted over $500K in scholarships to more than 450 cancer survivors.  In less than two months, they've sold over over 10,000 bottles ... so you might want to hop on the Will wagon, because this stuff is going fast!   My favorite is the golf-game enhancing "Sun Stroke" although I imagine the "Forbidden Fruit" will get laughs on beaches coast to coast. 

In fact, we'll give a bottle of this to the first iMag viewer to email me their funny summer sun story, send your story now!

But there's more to a label then laughs. Do you sometimes wonder what all those "tanning" terms really mean?  Check out our article "The 411 on SPF" to find out what SPF stands for, how much you need, and the difference between UVA and UVB rays. And get the Pro's and Con's of tanning beds, lotions, and the sun, in the Summer Skin Series section of fncimag.com.
