Exfoliate ya bod today!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fVmM2sdHbsU/SA4ptfEazLI/AAAAAAAAAEY/P8CAnscVz3M/s1600-h/scrub.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fVmM2sdHbsU/SA4ptfEazLI/AAAAAAAAAEY/P8CAnscVz3M/s320/scrub.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192133281815645362" /></a><br /><br />If you want your skin to look healthy and radiant, exfoliate regularly. By removing the top layer of dead epidermis cells, you will make your skin appear smoother and less wrinkled. Here are a few steps to help you achieve, healthy looking, clear skin.<br /><br />Things You’ll Need:<br />Bath Towels <br />Body Liquid Cleansers <br />Body Lotion <br />Exfoliating Products <br />Oil-free Moisturizers <br /><br />Step1 - Brush dry skin before getting into the shower. You can use either a loofah, exfoliating gloves or a body exfoliating brush. Start at the soles of the feet and work your way up. <br /><br />Step2 - Get into the bath or shower and wet your entire body. <br /><br />Step3 - Apply exfoliating cleanser to your loofah or exfoliating brush or gloves. <br /><br />Step4 - Scrub your body with it, using gentle, circular motions. <br /><br />Step5 - Opt for grainy types of cleansers to clean the skin, rather than soap. <br />Choose exfoliating cleansers that contain ingredients such as oatmeal, ground almonds or even sea salt. The grainy texture exfoliates the skin. <br /><br />Step6 - Make your own exfoliating cleanser, if you prefer. Mix sea salt, olive oil and lemon juice together, or mix ground almonds and powdered milk. The combinations are endless. <br /><br />Step7 - Use a washcloth for mild exfoliation. <br /><br />Step8 - Rub rough spots, such as heels, with a pumice stone or stick. <br /><br />Step9 - Apply lotion containing alpha or beta hydroxy acids after you exfoliate. This will continue the exfoliating process because the acids further abrade and remove dead skin cells. <br /><br />Step10 - Be sure to use body moisturizers at least once every day. Regular exfoliating is extremely drying to the skin and will do more harm than good unless the skin is rehydrated liberally with lotions. <br /><br />A really great body exfoliator that I have been using daily is Yummy Skin Smoothie Scrub. This stuff is amazing and the best part... it's PARABEN FREE! There is also a Ultra Hydrating Body Lotion... this stuff is the BOMB! I am totally in love with this line. From the inital sniff, you will be hooked! The scents are light, yet lingering and the moisturizing is second to none. Trust me... you won't be disappointed in this line.<br /><br />To find out more about Yummy Skin.. <a href="http://urbanchic-boutique.com/dhop/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=88">click here!</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6346390673509517096-3902606398896741597?l=sototallychic.blogspot.com'/></div>totally chic girlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07318333379576271372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346390673509517096.post-47782081342952057782008-03-30T08:08:00.000-07:002008-03-30T08:11:55.884-07:00Spring Blossom!<a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&offerid=135809.100548&type=2&subid=0" ><IMG border=0 src="http://www.candccalifornia.com/store/productimages/regular/100548_grass.jpg?source=AFC-Linkshare" ></a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&bids=135809.100548&type=2&subid=0" ><br><br />What could be sweeter than this Spring Blossom dress...<br> well, perhaps FREE shipping from C&C California!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6346390673509517096-4778208134295205778?l=sototallychic.blogspot.com'/></div>totally chic girlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07318333379576271372noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346390673509517096.post-85597932264667619752008-03-17T10:12:00.000-07:002008-03-17T10:19:54.317-07:00Happy St. Patty's Day... celebrate with sales!C&C California... free shipping! <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&offerid=135809.10000012&type=3&subid=0" >Free&nbsp;shipping&nbsp;on&nbsp;all&nbsp;C&C&nbsp;California&nbsp;orders!&nbsp;Offer&nbsp;valid&nbsp;3.18.08-3.21.08</a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&bids=135809.10000012&type=3&subid=0" ><br /><br />Beauty.com ... <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&offerid=57302.10000261&type=3&subid=0" >Free&nbsp;Jenni&nbsp;Kayne&nbsp;Gift&nbsp;Bag&nbsp;with&nbsp;$75&nbsp;Purchase&nbsp;at&nbsp;Beauty.com</a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&bids=57302.10000261&type=3&subid=0" ><br /><br />National Jean Company ... <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&offerid=124805.10000083&type=3&subid=0" >Products&nbsp;on&nbsp;Sale&nbsp;at&nbsp;National&nbsp;Jean&nbsp;Company!</a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&bids=124805.10000083&type=3&subid=0" ><br /><br />Smart Bargins.com ... <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&offerid=95373.10002536&type=3&subid=0" >Free&nbsp;Shipping&nbsp;on&nbsp;Shoe&nbsp;Orders&nbsp;of&nbsp;$75&nbsp;or&nbsp;More!&nbsp;-&nbsp;Ends&nbsp;4-1</a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&bids=95373.10002536&type=3&subid=0" ><br /><br />YOOX.com ... <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&offerid=119970.10000234&type=3&subid=0" >YOOX.COM's&nbsp;Spring&nbsp;Guide&nbsp;to&nbsp;Bags&nbsp;-&nbsp;Moschino,&nbsp;Liberty&nbsp;of&nbsp;London,&nbsp;Fendi&nbsp;and&nbsp;more</a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&bids=119970.10000234&type=3&subid=0" ><br /><br />HerRoom.com ... <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&offerid=118049.10000147&type=3&subid=0" >Coupons&nbsp;and&nbsp;Special&nbsp;Offers&nbsp;at&nbsp;HerRoom.com</a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&bids=118049.10000147&type=3&subid=0" ><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6346390673509517096-8559793226466761975?l=sototallychic.blogspot.com'/></div>totally chic girlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07318333379576271372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346390673509517096.post-49195314858178429752008-02-25T17:55:00.000-08:002008-02-25T18:15:39.440-08:00Deals & Steals for the week...What better way to start off the week than some deals and steals for everyone... enjoy!! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.lisakline.com">Lisa Kline</a> ~ 20% OFF all regular priced items.

Busy busy with family stuff, you know how it goes. My apologies to you all!<br />I did see the Blue Man Group on Friday night, wowzers! They were really great! I didn't really know what to expect with this show, so I was pleasantly surprised. They put on a great gig, with the band, and the drums, the lighting, their interactiveness etc. It was really a lot of fun! <br />Yesterday I had a minor accident :( My new car is not so new anymore. boo! I will call the insurance tomorrow to report this mis-hap. Sucks huge. Oh well, no one was hurt and a car can be fixed. No a huge deal.<br />Anywhooo.... just wanted to give you a shout out.

Getting more and more frustrated all the time. It looks so simple... who knew it would be such a pain in the ass.<br />Ugh.<br />I downloaded this little program to upload my inventory to the site. There must have been 20 items in the program. It uploaded 3.<br />The webstore looks wonky and I don't know how to fix it. There are widgets for this and widgets for that. Store widgets, page widgets, this, that and the other thing. <br />I have no patience for this. I thought it would be so easy... blah.

There are no absolute rules, but chances are that if you pick the right product your lips will look their very best. In our teens and 20's gloss rules and with all the fun shimmery formulas and colors, you can wear a new one every day for a year! Steer clear of matte formula lipsticks that can look a little ageing on you now and stick with a sheer swipe of a juicy gloss. Gloss reflects light enhancing your lip shape and the sheer factor allows you to play with colors like deep plum in the fall or winter and hot pinks in the spring or summer. If you are in your 30's, go for sheer lipsticks, tinted lip balms or lip stains. Chances are at this age you are really on the go with kids or a career and maybe both, so time is of the utmost importance. A sheer lipstick allows you the color you want without the commitment of a full-on lipstick. A tinted balm is the quickest way to swipe on color and moisture in one easy application and a lip stain will give you natural looking color and the freedom from touchups throughout the day. Women in their 40's and 50's should choose a moisturizing lipstick that does not contain shimmer. A pearly finish is fine but if you see shimmer particles stay away. A moisture rich lipstick will restore your lips softness and play up your perfect pout. Long wearing lip colors should be avoided because they are moisture-sucking vampires and at this age you need to bring moist radiance back to that delicate skin. When you are in your 60's and 70's line your lips first with a clear or nude colored lip liner and fill in the lips with a matte creamy lipstick of your choice. The lip liner will create a barrier around the lips sealing in color so your favorite lip color won't bleed around your lips and because it is clear or nude you won't wind up with ring around the mouth. Now that you know about the right formulas for your age, don't be afraid to experiment with fun new seasonal colors!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6346390673509517096-970980490132798088?l=sototallychic.blogspot.com'/></div>totally chic girlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07318333379576271372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346390673509517096.post-48891346995145159502008-01-23T17:45:00.000-08:002008-01-23T18:37:03.915-08:00Exfoliating is not just for your face!Often we become so wrapped up in our facial skincare routine that other parts of the body can get neglected.

The massage therapist and a housekeeper found his naked body at about 3:30 p.m. They tried to revive him, but he was already dead.<br /><br />"We are all deeply saddened and shocked by this accident," Ledger's publicist, Mara Buxbaum, said in a statement Tuesday night. "This is an extremely difficult time for his loved ones and we are asking the media to please respect the family's privacy and avoid speculation until the facts are known."<br /><br />Outside the building on an upscale street, paparazzi and gawkers gathered, and several police officers put up barricades to control the crowd of about 300. Onlookers craned their necks as officers brought out a black bodybag on a gurney, took it across the sidewalk and put it into a medical examiner's office van.<br /><br />As the door opened, bystanders snapped pictures with camera phones, rolled video and said, "He's coming out!"<br /><br />An autopsy was planned for Wednesday, medical examiner's office spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said.<br /><br />While not a marquee movie star, Ledger was an award-winning actor who chose his roles carefully rather than cashing in on big-money parts. He was nominated for an Oscar for his performance as a gay cowboy in "Brokeback Mountain." During filming, he met Michelle Williams, who played his wife in the film. The two had a daughter, now 2-year-old Matilda, and lived together in Brooklyn until they split up last year.<br /><br />It was a shocking and unforeseen conclusion for one of Hollywood's bright young stars. Though his leading man looks propelled him to early stardom in films like "10 Things I Hate About You" and "A Knight's Tale," his career took a notable turn toward dramatic and brooding roles with 2001's "Monster's Ball."<br /><br />"I had such great hope for him," said Mel Gibson, who played Ledger's vengeful father in "The Patriot," in a statement. "He was just taking off and to lose his life at such a young age is a tragic loss."<br /><br />In the Australian city of Perth, where Ledger was born and raised, his father called the actor's death "tragic, untimely and accidental."<br /><br />"He was (a) down-to-earth, generous, kind-hearted, life-loving, unselfish individual, extremely inspirational to many," Kim Ledger said, reading from a prepared statement. "Heath has touched so many people on so many different levels during his short life."<br /><br />Ledger eschewed Hollywood glitz in favor of a bohemian life in Brooklyn, where he became one of the borough's most famous residents. "Brokeback" would be his breakthrough role, establishing him as one of his generation's finest talents and an actor willing to take risks.<br /><br />Ledger began to gravitate more toward independent fare, including Lasse Hallstrom's "Casanova" and Terry Gilliam's "The Brothers Grimm," both released in 2005. His 2006 film "Candy" now seems destined to have an especially haunting quality: In a particularly realistic performance, Ledger played a poet wrestling with a heroin addiction along with his girlfriend, played by Abbie Cornish.<br /><br />But Ledger's most recent choices were arguably the boldest yet: He costarred in "I'm Not There," in which he played one of the many incarnations of Bob Dylan ƒƒ‚‚ as did Cate Blanchett, whose performance in that film earned an Oscar nomination Tuesday for best supporting actress.<br /><br />And in what may be his final finished performance, Ledger proved that he wouldn't be intimidated by taking on a character as iconic as Jack Nicholson's Joker. Ledger's version of the "Batman" villain, glimpsed in early teaser trailers, made it clear that his Joker would be more depraved and dark.<br /><br />Curiosity about Ledger's final performance will likely stoke further interest in the summer blockbuster. "Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan said this month that Ledger's Joker would be wildly different from Nicholson's.<br /><br />"It was a very great challenge for Heath," Nolan said. "He's extremely original, extremely frightening, tremendously edgy. A very young character, a very anarchic presence that taps into a lot of our basic fears and panic."<br /><br />Ledger told The New York Times in a November interview that he "stressed out a little too much" during the Dylan film and had trouble sleeping while portraying the Joker, whom he called a "psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy."<br /><br />"Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night," Ledger told the newspaper. "I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going." He said he took two Ambien pills, which worked for only an hour, the paper said.<br /><br />Ledger was a widely recognized figure in his Manhattan neighborhood, where he used to shop at a home and children's store. Michelle Vella, an employee there, said she had frequently seen Ledger with his daughter ƒƒ‚‚ carrying the toddler on his shoulders, or having ice cream with her.<br /><br />"It's so sad. They were really close," Vella said. "He's a very down-to-earth guy and an amazing father."<br /><br />Before settling down with Williams, Ledger had relationships with actresses Heather Graham and Naomi Watts. He met Watts while working on "The Lords of Dogtown," a fictionalized version of a cult classic skateboarding documentary, in 2004.<br /><br />Ledger was born in 1979 to a mining engineer and a French teacher and got his first acting role playing Peter Pan at age 10 in a local theater company. He began acting in independent films as a 16-year-old in Sydney and played a cyclist hoping to land a spot on an Olympic team in a 1996 television show, "Seat."<br /><br />After several independent films, Ledger moved to Los Angeles at age 19 and starred opposite Julia Stiles in "10 Things I Hate About You." Offers for other teen flicks soon came his way, but Ledger turned them down, preferring to remain idle than sign on for projects he didn't like.<br /><br />"It wasn't a hard decision for me," Ledger told the Associated Press in 2001. "It was hard for everyone else around me to understand. Agents were like, 'You're crazy,' my parents were like, 'Come on, you have to eat.'"<br /><br />___<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6346390673509517096-6984984930410994431?l=sototallychic.blogspot.com'/></div>totally chic girlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07318333379576271372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346390673509517096.post-9956223572801888312008-01-19T13:22:00.001-08:002008-01-19T15:58:34.764-08:007 Tips to Keep Your Business Organized in '08...If you are like me, there are MUCH better things to do than file papers and organize. On the other hand, there is nothing that stresses me out more, or plays on my mind more than the organization of my workspace. I am totally bad for having "puddles" of papers and receipts and notes... all around the house. Ugh.<br /> I began '08 with a revamp of my file cabinet. I actually bought some hanging folders, files and the stuff I needed to get my butt in gear. I cleaned out the cabinet and put the pretty hanging files in, made the perfect tags and... voila! Organization!<br />It has actually been easy to keep all my papers together, so far. I am spending the day today, organizing. All of the papers from last year are being filed in their respective folders, cleaning off the clutter of my desk and around the area. Tax time is approaching, and you know as well as I, the headaches that can ensue from filing tax for a sole-proprietorship.<br />With that being said... here are 7 tips to keep you organized!<br />1. Define your business goals and plans: Write down your business goals and how you plan to achieve them in a clear and precise way and stick to it. Keep this plan visible to remind yourself of your plan from day to day. Buy an organizer or use software to do this. <br /><br />By studying and sticking to your plan, you can evaluate your position as to where you stand and make any necessary adjustments to get back on track.<br /><br />2. Keep yourself and your employees motivated: When you and your employees are happy at work, it shows - and customers notice it immediately. It also improves efficiency and that shows your customers that you and your team are well- organized.<br /><br />Keep rewarding your employees with any method that you feel works, so as to keep their morale high. <br /><br />3. Plan according to business needs: There are some things that need to be planned daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. Make a list of these items and schedule them accordingly. Daily planning should be done in the early morning or in the late evening the previous day. Write these things down so that you do not forget them.<br /><br />Use day planners available at office supply stores or use a computer program to remind yourself of important events. With the many new inventory and accounting software programs available, you can plan your stock, increase product rotation, and manage your expenses - thereby increasing your cash flow and profit margin.<br /><br />4. Organize your office items: Keep your office or store as neat as possible. Keep items that you require everyday in the same place so that you do not have to hunt for them every time you need them.<br /><br />Clear out items that you do not need or have not used in a long time. This will prevent lost time, helping you to concentrate on important issues instead of trivial things.<br /><br />5. Adhere to your commitments: Keep your promises to customers, suppliers and employees. Making payments on time to your suppliers indicates a well-organized business. <br /><br />Making deliveries at the agreed upon time to your customers will win their trust and will help you in getting repeat orders, as well generate word-of-mouth advertising. <br /><br />6. Keep in touch: Keeping in touch with your customers indicates that you care about them and value their business. Send them brochures or e-mail them about new products and services that you offer.<br /><br />Mail your customers birthday cards or greeting cards on special occasions and holidays. This shows a lot about how organized your business is.<br /><br />7. Use that computer: A computer is like having an extra brain. Use it as much as possible. Do your accounting, inventory, delivery scheduling, and even your letter writing on it. It will save you a lot of time and effort – much more than doing these tasks manually.<br /><br />With newer and faster applications, it is now possible to have a paperless, clutterless office. Having access to data at your fingertips indicates good organization. Just don’t forget to make a regular backup of your data.<br /><br />The more organized your small business is, the easier it will be to operate day-to-day, leaving you more time to concentrate on increasing your profits.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6346390673509517096-995622357280188831?l=sototallychic.blogspot.com'/></div>totally chic girlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07318333379576271372noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346390673509517096.post-33545479562970043482008-01-17T16:08:00.000-08:002008-01-17T16:10:42.145-08:00Who doesn't love Cashmere<a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&offerid=95373.1411444322&type=2&subid=0" ><IMG border=0 src="http://www.smartbargains.com/images/product/141144/1411444322_MD.jpg" ></a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&bids=95373.1411444322&type=2&subid=0" ><br><br />Starting your day with the smooth sensation of this pure cashmere cardigan will set you on a positive path with confidence.<br><br />Save 70% on this <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&offerid=95373.1411444322&type=2&subid=0" >Christopher Fischer Cashmere Crochet Cardigan</a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&bids=95373.1411444322&type=2&subid=0" ><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6346390673509517096-3354547956297004348?l=sototallychic.blogspot.com'/></div>totally chic girlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07318333379576271372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346390673509517096.post-34195653612265278492008-01-14T10:29:00.000-08:002008-01-14T11:05:49.480-08:00Deals and Steals...<a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&offerid=95373.1311382132&type=2&subid=0" ><IMG border=0 src="http://www.smartbargains.com/images/product/131138/1311382132_MD.jpg" ></a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&bids=95373.1311382132&type=2&subid=0" ><br />Ok now... come ON!

She’s eaten at a raw restaurant or two and was amazed at what the innovative chefs served using nuts, fruits, and vegetables, with nothing heated above 118 degrees. But it wasn’t until recently, after reading some news reports about enzymes and how they can help her body stay healthy and look younger that she made the connection…<br /><br />As it turns out, enzymes are like the body’s very own power rangers – working at the cellular level to provide energy and nutrition to every cell. Raw foods, like fruits and vegetables contain lots of enzymes, but they’re rendered useless when food is cooked, canned, pasteurized or even frozen, because all that processing heats the food above the 118 degree mark.<br /><br />It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to tell Girlawhirl that eating fresh fruits and veggies is good for her health (and her waistline), but the information about enzymes and their role in keeping her not just healthy but younger looking as well has definitely piqued her interest.<br /><br />Here’s how it works: enzymes are needed not just for digestion but for all of the chemical reactions in our bodies. It’s because of enzymes that everything works, nutrients get delivered to cells, hormones are produced and processes that are essential for life “happen.” Dr. Edward Howell, who devoted most of his career to researching enzymes, refers to them as the “labor force” that builds a body. The body can produce enzymes, but the ability to produce them decreases as we get older. Raw foods, often called living foods, contain lots of enzymes that can be used not just for digestion but also for repair work inside the body. <br /><br />That’s why people who eat raw and live foods exclusively tend to look younger and are free from many of the diseases that inevitably seem to come with aging. In a 1991interview, Dr. Howell said that he believed that enzyme deficiency could lead to premature aging, degenerative diseases and even early death. More current research has shown that upping enzyme intake, usually through supplements, has helped in all kinds of ailments from autism in children to cancer in adults.<br /><br />Celebrities like Uma Thurman, Natalie Portman and Alicia Silverstone have been sighted on raw food websites as people who are eating more and more raw foods. Carol Alt is a long time raw food enthusiast, and Demi Moore and Donna Karan have been associated with eating raw foods as well. Woody Harrelson is so into raw that he made a movie about it! Girlawhirl knows that she’ll never be able to go 100% raw, but she can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and use enzyme supplements as well. After all a younger look and healthier body are worth substituting a carrot for a cookie! <br /><br />For more information on raw foods, live foods and enzymes check out these websites:<br /><br /><a href="www.living-foods.com/index.shtml">Living Foods</a><br /><br /><a href="www.oneluckyduck.com">One Lucky Duck</a><br /><br /><a href="www.rawfoodmedia.com">Raw Food Media</a><br /><br /><a href="www.therawfooddetoxdiet.com/index.php">The Raw Food Detox Diet</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6346390673509517096-859525626476090179?l=sototallychic.blogspot.com'/></div>totally chic girlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07318333379576271372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346390673509517096.post-43345420667081085762008-01-06T08:37:00.000-08:002008-01-06T08:43:18.976-08:00Look of the Day<a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&amp;offerid=135587.12728&amp;type=2&amp;subid=0"><img src="http://www.shoptwigs.com/twigs/assets/product_images/PAAAIADEHCFFAOFA.jpg" border="0" /></a><img height="1" src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Q2lGSagO7*w&amp;bids=135587.12728&amp;type=2&amp;subid=0" width="1" border="0" /><br /><br /><strong>Pintucked Jacket in Gunmetal</strong><br /><br />Instantly chic-ifying our wardrobes, we're obsessed with the amazing details and expert tailoring of this Robert Rodriguez jacket!
