amazon, cle de peau, concealer, dark circles, natura bisse, touche eclat, under eye, yves saint laurent

Let’s face it…we are older than yesterday, and our eyes can show it. Whether it be puffiness, dark circles or bags, this triple threat is the cure. 

First apply Natura Bisse which will hydrate, nourish and provide a sheer coat.


Get it speedy quick HERE. 

Next our all time favorite concealer!!! Not just for eyes but any little flaws that may appear. Cle de Peau…it is by far the best!!


Get it at Saks

And step three is the brightener. We all need this. Really. 


Available at Sephora
Welcome to a lighter, brighter, fresher world!

belles love ponies…ponytails

amazon, erickson, franceluxe, grab and go, ponytail holder, sport and go

We are always on the hunt for the next great hair accessories, and we are regularly sporting a ponytail. Finding holders that won’t crimp or harm your hair and still grip properly is harder than you think!

Nonie-belle (who is always looking out for us) made friends the Franceluxe belles, and they sent a slew of holders to try. Well, it was a veritable free-for-all when they came in…what with the teen belles still being home! 
These are by far the best we’ve found to date! 


Available Here and Here

Your hair will thank you!

For tall-drink-of-water-belle growing up in California, every bed had an electric blanket. So…for Christmas last year, everyone got one for their bed. Now this tip on how to clean an electric blanket will come in handy!


Via Amazon…this is the blanket we got and love!

Belles can be cookie monsters…

And speaking of sweet tooth options…

Can’t you just taste it now?!

And on the savory side…we love Taco Bell!  And now for many more reasons!! 

No more being ashamed of this taco addiction!

One word: Obsessed…

happy travelin’ belles…

amazon, bag charm, Elnett, furbish studio, Longchamp, Mark & Graham, nordstrom, socks, travel, travel tray

We belles are so often on-the-go, we like to add a happy and light-hearted flare to what can sometimes be the drudgery of delays and layovers. One belle keeps a “happy bag” packed with all of the necessities (examples listed below) to navigate a day (or more) of airport livin’. 

On her shoulder these days…


A Longchamp bag in a happy color keeps the spirits up


Peony perhaps??  (Sorry…pretty persimmon seems to be no longer available)
And that bag charm…


…(from Furbish Studio) adds a playful, whimsical touch to help a travel-weary belle remember to enjoy the journey

And, as promised, the list of necessities loaded in that bag at all times…

– Chargers with long cords for both the phone and the tablet

– face wipes and moisturizer (for the dreaded overnight delay)

– cozy socks

– a brush and travel-size Elnett

– toothbrush and toothpaste (the little pack from the dentist is perfect!)

– travel blanket and eye mask (or at least a pashmina)

– medicine organizer

– a travel “catch all”

At the last minute, add your jewelry (don’t check those lovelies, belles!), your tablet, and perhaps a scaled-down makeup bag and you’re all set…ready for what the travel gods might throw your way!!  (Don’t forget sunglasses and phone…duh)

Happy trails!

amazon, avocado tomatillo salsa, chile pork verde, citrus squeezer, padma lakshi, today show

Thanks to the Today Show and Padma Lakshi, we could hardly wait to try this Pork Chili Verde.  It turned out beyond delish. The sauce alone is heaven!  Double it…you won’t regret it!


Gather your ingredients….

Do a little prep work…

Do a little blending…

 …be sure to save some! 


Now work on the the main event…

Do a bit of sautéing…

Add a few more things


Stir and watch out. Because you will want to eat it all right out of the pot ! 

Oh…and if you don’t have one of these…


Do yourself a huge favor and get one here

Now prepare for the accolades!
