Holi Hai! Let the Hues of the Holiday Inspire Your Makeup

Miriam Lacey — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 05:00:26 PDT

Holi is one of the world's most celebrated holidays and undoubtedly also one of the most fun. Spring begins with Holi in the Hindu religious calender (for more on the significance of Holi and the role of Lord Vishnu, read up here), and it happens to fall on March 20 this year. Celebrants worldwide will honor the day by having color parties, where people have a raucous good time throwing brightly pigmented powder and water at one another. By the end of the day, everyone is soaked, dyed in an array of colors, and usually pretty blissed out.

Even if you don't have a Holi party invitation this year, you can still honor the day with a little color of your own. Whether you decide to wear bright red lipstick, turquoise eye shadow, or something else entirely, let Holi's hues guide your look this weekend.

Collard Greens

OnSugar Blog — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 03:16:39 PDT

If you've ever doubted the deliciousness of dark, leafy collard greens, OnSugar blogger Fresh Tart is here to reassure you with a new recipe. Try it, and you'll never feel the same way about collards ever again!

I've been meaning to post this recipe since the holidays, when I brought this dish to my aunt Mary & uncle Bruce's house for Christmas Day. Time flies . . .

Actually, time doesn't fly in Minnesota between December and March, so I'm not sure what my excuse is. But no matter, here it is.

Collard greens, for you (we) northerners, require longer cooking than say Swiss chard, spinach, or kale. But that's what makes collards amazing - a slow simmer allows them to bathe long enough in smoky, porky broth to emerge . . . smoky and porky. And meltingly tender.

Irresistible. Doubters, trust me.

Get the recipe when you keep on reading.

Coming Soon: Narciso Rodriguez Shares His Essence

BellaSugar — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 11:58:37 PST

In 2003, designer Narciso Rodriguez successfully launched his gorgeous first fragrance collection, For Her Eau de Toilette ($40 to $87), a seductive, great-for-evening kind of scent. And this Spring, Rodriguez is about to get a little more demure with Essence Eaux de Parfum Collection ($33 to $100), a new fragrance line that also will include a body lotion, shower gel, and deodorant spray.

“Essence is very sexy but has that crisp, clean, pure quality of sunlight,” Rodriguez told WWD. This sunny floral, powdery musk will contain notes of rose, iris powder, benzoin balm, and of course, musk - his signature touch. “I love [musk] so much for its beautiful qualities, its rawness and its sensuality,” said Rodriguez.

Speaking of that sensuality, the rounded and mirrorlike bottle is futuristic looking with an intriguing, "I want to touch that" quality. Want to try out some Essence? Look for Rodriguez's creation in the US on March 1 (with a global introduction in April), where it's set to launch for a seven-month exclusive at Saks Fifth Avenue.
