While I was doing a little research for my upcoming girls weekend in Las Vegas, I remembered that I read somewhere that there was a Tanning Butler at the Ritz Carlton South Beach, my mind started wondering thinking “Does Vegas have a super hot tanning butler?” then I thought like it matters in Vegas, every hot guy turns out to be your tanning butler which is a nice perk but anyway back to my real Tanning Butler story. This article below is by Melanie Nayer she wrote a great article I wanted to share with you.

Oh, hellooooo, Mr. Tanning Butler. 

Ladies, allow me to introduce you to your favorite beach accessory. He strolls Ritz-Carlton’s South Beach pool and beach area during peak tanning hours with one purpose: to apply sunscreen to those hard-to-reach shoulder and back areas.

You can flag him down every weekend from 12 noon to 4 p.m. and ask him to layer on the Hampton Sun tanning products. The Tanning Butler travels with an Evian spritzer to help you cool down, and will even clean off those spots on your sunglasses. Whether you need SPF 10 or SPF 100, he’s got it and will offer you a complimentary rub-down… err, sunscreen application, while you enjoy your day in the sun.

“This modern twist on the English butler is beyond guests’ expectations,” said Michelle Payer, creator of The Tanning Butler. “It’s a light-hearted service we created to cater to our guests as they sunbathe by providing an unexpected, luxury service they won’t see anywhere else in the world,” she said.

We completely agree, Michelle! (And may I just say, bravo, Ritz-Carlton. You rarely disappoint, but this little luxury certainly tops the list of favorite hotel amenities.)

Girls don’t forget Mother’s Day is right around the corner May 9th, 2010. I wanted to share with you my favorite chocolate company EVER!!!! Vosges Haut-Chocolat www.vosguschocolate.com When I go to New York City one of my favorite things to do is to stop by the Vosges store in SoHo and get a hot Aztec Chocolate Yum I get so excited about their chocolates and caramels it’s ridiculous.

This Mother’s Day I would recommend the Gatsby Collection:

Inspired by the famous love story of the Great Gatsby and the love of his life, Daisy – a collection of two decadent truffles. Rich dark chocolate swirled with bubbly brut Champagne and topped with a red rose petal completes the Gatsby truffle. The delicate Daisy truffle pairs white chocolate with pink roses; Champagne from Reims and a few drops of rose water, kissed with a pink rose petal atop. The 9 piece box arrives dressed in a prim pin-up girl wrap with secret love notes tucked inside and includes 6 Gatsby and 3 Daisy truffles.

What a perfect gift for your Mother, Sister, BFF or anyone that has shown you love.

As you know I love everything PINK, pink flowers, pink lip gloss, pink Jimmy Choo’s, so this year for my birthday I am planning on a pink and black Paris themed party. The pictures below will give you a little sneak peak to what I am planning, and Yes, I will be celebrating in Paris!!! It’s going to take lots of detailed planning but I am up for the challenge and excitement all the Pink, Pink and more Pink planning holds. What can I say but C’est la Vie!

Alright girls, summer is right around the corner so that means Bikini Season! I was just flipping through the May issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine and on page 120 it’s all about adding some flair to your hair down there. They give you some DIY tips and super cute stencils on the next page to trim your bikini line in either Love Triangle, Sweetheart, This way for Fun or Landing Strip. All of these four designs are in high demand by super chic spa gals around the country, if you are a real risk taker you can use a product called Betty Beauty www.bettybeauty.com  to dye the hair in either Blonde, Sexy (lavender), Love (Red), Lucky (Green), Fun (Hot Pink). Go ahead girls break out of your shell and show some color. Is your Betty ready?  

My go-to hair style is a pony tail Yes, that’s right not that exciting but I am always working with makeup or in my treatment room and hair in the face; not fun. I am loving this look below on Hillary Duff of the “Poufy Ponytail” its fresh, chic and an actual real style. Does anyone hear new YouTube idea for my next beauty segment?

Poufy Ponytail How-To:

1. Wash your hair with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner.

2. Apply a volumizing mousse such as Pantene Pro-V Volumizing Mousse.

3. Blow Dry hair like a mad diva.

4. Tease the crown of your head with a super fine comb for the ultimate “pouf”.

And there you have it a simple take on the basic pony tail but you have just upped the sexy factor.

This is one of my favorite websites www.apartmenttherapy.com it has chic apartments from Paris to New York that are challenged by not having enough space and what their owners do with the limited room or just have cool ideas and are showcased on this site.  Amazing ideas for your own home, apartment or dorm. You can take house tours, enter the Small, Cool 2010 contest which has different categories for apartments 400 sq ft and under to apartments with over 1,000 sq ft. Its a website that I find a lot of inspiration in and love to hang out on for hours. Enjoy!
