Face Forward - I have an electric facial brush by <i>Clarisonic</i>. I use that with my face wash, and I don’t use just one thing. I use a lot of different stuff. The latest thing that I’ve been using on my face is a Swedish line called <i>Skyn Iceland</i>. I use their face wash and toner, along with the <i>Antioxidant Calming Serum</i>.

Get the Glow - The key to having great skin is to keep it super-duper moisturized. I go to bed greasy. I use a product from a line at Whole Foods, but it’s not expensive. It’s called <i>Aura Glow</i> from Heritage products. They have Almond scented oil. I use it every day and my son uses it as well. It’s a staple in our house. I put it on in the shower while my body is still wet.

Smart Buys - A good belt goes a long way. Rather than have five cheap belts, I feel like quality is much more valuable than quantity. You can look at something and tell when it’s cheap or trendy. Next season, you’re throwing it out and you’re spending more money. I will pay $350 for a nice belt and I’ll have it for six or seven years.

Hair Rules - <i>Hair Rules</i> is Anthony Dickey’s line of products. I love all of his stuff. He has an amazing shampoo and conditioner. He cuts my hair when I’m in New York.

Winter Essentials - If the weather is cold, I use <i>La Mer</i> moisturizer. If it’s not, I use a Vitamin C-based moisturizer, which you can get from anywhere. I get mine from my facialist, Matty of Matty’s Skincare.

Casual Cutie - I just buy what I like. I am a jeans and T-shirt girl all day long. If you’re in shape and you are simple, and you have nice shoes and a nice purse, you really can’t go wrong with your style.

Shine Goddess - I cellophane my hair with Sebastian cellophanes, and I use coffee, which is this dark brown color. Cellophanes are great because they make your hair look super shiny. It also coats your hair, so it protects it while heat styling.

Kiss & Tell - I prefer a lighter lip and I love gloss! I have about 50 glosses. My all-time favorite is the <i>Yves Saint Laurent Golden Gloss</i>. It’s great because during the day it looks very golden.
