Toothpaste

Zen Toothpaste For Sensitive Teeth

Models, celebs, fashionistas and anybody who's anybody these days whitens their teeth so that they can be red carpet and paparazzi ready.

Models, celebs, fashionistas and anybody who's anybody these days whitens their teeth so that they can be red carpet and paparazzi ready. The problem, however, is that not everybody's teeth can handle constant bleaching. New from GoSMILE is ZEN Toothpaste, $18, to help alleviate sensitivity in over-processed teeth.

There are of course other reasons for sensitivity such as: gum recession, tooth decay, aging, clenching or grinding of the jaw/teeth. Even overaggressive tooth brushing can cause heightened sensitivity. It causes erosion on your teeth/gums that leads to exposed dentin tubules that have a direct communication to the nerve. Believe it or not, one in five Americans lives with sensitivity in their mouth but now. Thanks to GoSMILE, brushing doesn't have to be painful - it can be ZEN.
This toothpaste is formulated to both strengthen and soothe. It contains a high level of Potassium Nitrate, which is supposed to treat sensitivity because it blocks the exposed dentin tubules. The fluoride in the formula prevents decay and promotes strong tooth enamel. When combined, these two ingredients help to seal any exposed areas, which may cause sensitivity.

What also makes this toothpaste special is its unique blend of white cranberry and lavender oils. The white cranberry extract helps the health of your gums by breaking down the bacteria that sticks to the root surface. Not only does is smell zesty, ZEN-like and relaxing, but it has a yummy flavor.

Trend Alert

Trend Alert: Ride The Mod Train

Looks like Mod is going to have another run.

Looks like Mod is going to have another run. I wonder why this trend from Fall is still popular. Is it because celebs have been sporting it, and continue to, as seen in this week's Life & Style? Is it because of the recent release of Factory Girl? Or is it simply that this trend has staying power? Either way, these items pictured are pretty darn cute, sending me on a trip through cyberspace to find some of my new mod picks. Enjoy!

P.S. I would fight Paris right now for her cobalt blue Marc Jacobs Stam bag!

Simply Fab: The Natasha Tote by Kooba

The Natasha Bag by Kooba, $625, is two bags in one!

The Natasha Bag by Kooba, $625, is two bags in one! This awesome convertible tote is the perfect travel accessory. It transforms from a smaller sized hobo to a carry-all bag by simply adjusting the metal turn-lock closures on the sides of the bag. It measures 16" wide x 10" tall and it extends to 14" tall.

The small size is perfect for everyday items while the larger size is great for fitting your: laptop, magazines, makeup case, slippers and personal over sized travel pashmina on the plane with you. When you are through, you've got the option to keep it big or small. It has two interior pockets and one zippered pocket for extra storage and is fully lined.

It is currently available in black, white and camel patent leather, but you can also expect to see it in white leather, ink leather, brown leather and straw leather this March.

This just in: Kooba is introducing a ready-to-wear line in the Fall so be on the lookout for their signature bags to be translated as leather tops!

Celebrity Style

Celebrity Style: Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera and pals spent the day at Disneyland; there is just nothing like a visit with Mickey Mouse to keep you young!

Christina Aguilera and pals spent the day at Disneyland; there is just nothing like a visit with Mickey Mouse to keep you young! Although she is trying to be incognito with a baseball hat and sunglasses, her red lips and matching shoes are a dead give away. I must say, it is quite freshing to see a celeb dust off a good old pair of boot cut jeans!

Hair Care That Will Blow You Away

Blow Styling Salon, located in the trendy meatpacking district in NYC, is a unique and fun one-stop-shop to help get you primped and pretty for a night out on the town.

Blow Styling Salon, located in the trendy meatpacking district in NYC, is a unique and fun one-stop-shop to help get you primped and pretty for a night out on the town. They don't do haircuts; just blow-out's, makeup applications, nails and waxing.

Inside, everything is pink, and the clients are A-Listers who vow never to go above 14th street again or they'll get a nose bleed. Why just this past Saturday, I ran into Kelly Klein (you know, Calvin's ex) while getting pampered.

The best part about Blow are the prices. Getting a blow out or a time consuming up-do at your fave salon can cost $85 or more, but here, prices begin at a mere $40 and will never be more than $60. It actually makes tipping a pleasure.

Just when you thought this place couldn't get any better, they've announced the launch of their very own line of styling products. To read about each of Blow's new products, read more

Fab Flash: Gisele is Still Number One

IMG Models have confirmed that uber gorgeous super model Gisele Bündchen will walk only one runway at Milan Fashion Week.

IMG Models have confirmed that uber gorgeous super model Gisele Bündchen will walk only one runway at Milan Fashion Week. It will be next Thursday for the Fall 2007 Dolce & Gabbana show. This is the first show she has walked for them since Spring 2003. Her spokesperson said:

“Gisele has a fragrance with Dolce and is doing their show exclusively in Milan next week.”


Oooh, sounds like an upcoming Beauty Byte to me! The fragrance referred to is The One by Dolce & Gabbana , and will be launched in the U.S. this summer. No fair - it has already been available in Europe for months!

The One features the Brazilian beauty in both print and television ads. This is the first new fragrance launched by the Italian duo since their licensing deal with Proctor & Gamble Prestige Products in December 2005.

We can't wait to see the gazelle-like Gisele dressed in Dolce at the show on Thursday. At least we know she'll smell great!
