Q. Jordan,
I'm engaged! Yay! Honestly, my dream wedding is a quick and fun weekend trip to Las Vegas (the Little White Chapel where Britney Spears got married, duh), followed by a week somewhere warm. And if not Vegas, a courthouse. No part of me wants the normal ritual or ceremony girls have...I've never wanted that.
Head over to Prim & Propah for an interview in which we talk the one beauty product I never forget, how to have your partner help with your blog without ending your relationship, and where RG is going next (plus a giveaway of Ramshackle Glam).
Have you heard of Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream? You probably have: it's a super-rich emollient that you use on everything from your cuticles to your elbows to your eyebrows, and is a total cult product (and one of my personal must-haves). And it's not exactly "weird"; more like "classic"…so what's up with the "Weird Product Test-Run" title of this post?
What's up is that Elizabeth Arden just added a new product to the Eight Hour Cream line: Nighttime Miracle Moisturizer. And it's weird. It's basically an enhanced version of the original, with the same uber-thick texture (plus lavender to calm skin and help you sleep)…and the weird part lies in the fact that it's supposed to go on your face. Because it's one thing to apply a product that heavy-seeming to your nail beds, and another thing entirely to apply it to, like…your chin.
Oh, my hair.
I have loved it SO MUCH these past few months. I've even been accused several times of having hair extensions (as if I wouldn't excitedly declare CHECK OUT MY EXTENSIONS! were I to actually shell out the money for them)...which is less "accusation" and more "best compliment ever."
I did not have extensions; I had pregnancy.
These are going to be the best thing that ever happened to your wintry weekend morning. I stand by that assertion.
Make them make them make them.
Q. Jordan,
I'm almost 32 weeks pregnant and my baby shower is coming up later this month. My friend thinks maxi dresses look cute on pregnant people, and while I agree I have no idea how to wear one in the winter. I guess I would need a cardigan or light coat (even indoors at the shower), but what would I wear for shoes? Please help.

You know how every once in a while you’ll see an article in a celeb magazine where some TV or movie star is asked to describe their eating habits in one word?
Well, my word would be “careless.”
It’s not that I don’t give a lot of thought to food – I love cooking, and take a lot of pride in pulling together nice dinners for my family – but when it comes to my own eating habits? Nutrition falls so low on my priority list that it’s practically off the radar entirely. I eat what I feel like eating when I feel like eating it, and if that means chocolate-chip cookies for breakfast or a massive steak for dinner or skipping lunch entirely because I’m just not hungry, that’s generally what I do. Dinners aside, my eating habits over the course of the day rarely follow anything that could be considered a “schedule,” and the amount of thought I give to creating a balanced diet for myself is zero.
Just thinking about the big move we have coming up and reminiscing about the first time we went through this madness. (Still one of my all-time favorite videos.)
While we're on the subject: anyone have recommendations for a great cross-country moving company?
This is a very good bucket bag. And, as you can see, holds EVERYTHING.
