How Celebrities Stay Organized//Maria Menounos

One of my favorite celebrities right now is Maria Menounos. I read her first book The EveryGirl’s Guide to Life and started using my all time favorite Eve Pearl concealer after she mentioned it her book.  I have also been tuning into her reality TV show on Oxygen and it has made me love her even more. She is so real when it comes to sharing the ups and downs of her long term relationship with her boyfriend Kevin and what life is like with her Greek Orthodox parents living with her. Being of Greek heritage I know only too well what a great concept this is for a reality TV show.

In Women’s Health Magazine she talked about how she can be camera-ready in as little as 10 minutes, thanks to the tricks she picked up while on the beauty pageant circuit. How does she do it? “Being organized is the biggest tip,” she says. For example, when she checks into a hotel room, the first thing she does is take all of her makeup out of her bag and arrange it on the counter so she can find what she needs right away. Then, she puts all of her pencils and brushes in a cup. “At home you need a system that will make things easy,” she says.

I am looking forward to reading her new book The EveryGirl’s Guide to Diet and Fitness and I will share all the highlights with you in a future blog.

 

 

Packing Made Simple

packing listI couldn’t have packed as efficiently for myself and my family without this list. It made such a difference, as I checked items off, knowing that all my essentials were packed. When my daughter asked for a band aid I was grateful that was one of the items to pack on my list.

Backpack Essentials

airplaneJosie Maran/ Ipad keyboard/Tory Burch backpack
Bose headphones/Cashmere wrap

Everyone is ready to take a Spring Break to somewhere. I am off to LA and here are some of the things that are my travel essentials, especially on a long flight.

Josie Maran’s Infinity Cream is a “go to miracle cream.” I use it on my hands, lips and even as an eye cream. It is always in my bag.

Speaking of my bag I found this functional as well as fashionable Tory Burch backpack. It is the perfect alternative to a bulky oversized handbag. So much easier on your neck, back and shoulders when traveling.

I bought this keyboard as a christmas gift for my mother and realized how easy and convenient it is to use when traveling. Now I can’t live without it.

My other new find is the Bose noise canceling headphones. I think you know how noisy a flight can be and this will make your travel time more peaceful.

Knowing how chilly airplanes and airports can be I found the answer in this cashmere wrap. No more airline blankets just the warmth of this beautiful wrap.

HAPPY TRAVELS!
