Special Post-Mother's Day Edition

We encourage girls of all ages to get away from it all and explore new terrain every now and then. Our most recent girls’ getaway---which is happening as we speak--included a new JSG inductee: Madeline, aka Hope’s daughter. (Note to our regular readers: Not to worry—we’re not turning in to Mommy Bloggers—not that there’s anything wrong with that.)

Madeline asked for a trip to NYC for her 10th birthday and Hope was only too happy to oblige! We stayed at the Muse Hotel (another Kimpton Group winner), which is situated close to Times Square and close to Rockefeller Center, Saks and the American Girl store (Guess whose request that was!). Our room was ready for us at our 10 am arrival, even though we had not requested an early-check in. What a dream!

Our highlight was lunch with JSG’s Annie at the Vynl Diner. We loved the Dolly Parton themed bathroom and still can’t get “9 to 5” out of our heads. After that, we enjoyed a cyclo ride through Central Park and down Broadway. We were proud when Maddey rolled her eyes at the long line of folks trying to get into the David Letterman Theater for the Survivor finale. Then it was off to the American Girl store to complete Maddey’s birthday trip.

We give Maddey major kudos for her city girl outfit. Love that she's already rocking the metallic!

On Our Radar: San Diego

Typically when we write about something that's on our radar, it's something we're planning on doing or fantasizing about doing, but this week, it's actually all about what we did last weekend. San Diego is one city worth breaking tradition for!

We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel, which is at one end of the ultra-hip Gaslamp Quarter. The Hard Rock had large, well decorated inexpensive rooms and our facial at the Rock Spa put us in a good mood in the middle of an otherwise full-on crankmonster day (don't ask). It's home to a Nobu and a hotel store that is SO cute, our friend Carm and I bought the same hoodie (Black. Cashmere. On Sale.)

Now on to the good stuff! We couldn't get on the elevator without a friendly guy saying hello! No joke--and no matter what time of day! A cute Aussie even tried to flirt, but we were stone cold sober so we were embarrassingly tongue tied. The pool turns into a hot bar scene at night (Note to those who need to go to sleep before 2 am: Request a room far away from the pool!).

The Sunday Intervention party was a tad too wild for our taste. See the below photo for evidence. We're past our belly button pierced thong wearing in public days.

Would you have stayed longer than 5 minutes?



Many people we met lived in Sacramento or San Francisco and come down for the near perfect weather and party scene. S.D. has gone through a resurgence in the past couple of years. In addition to the Hard Rock, there's the Kimpton Group's Hotel Solamar and the oh-so-swank Ivy (our fave there was the leather columns).

So there's a reason it's On Our Radar--we want to go back, NOW!

High Shine for High Fashion

Dior Addict High Shine introduces itself as the first lipstick made for the runway. We think they made it for us too. The lipstick goes on smoothly with a sheer glossy finish. We're looking forward to snagging the Beige-a-Porter and Chestnut Chic; but if you're looking for pink try the Rose Show or Pink Protege. BTW, we know you shouldn't judge a lipstick (or a person) by the packaging; but Dior always does a beautiful job designing their lipstick cases. It's satisfying just to pull this one out of your bag.

Also new from Dior is the Glossy Lip Liner, which is a "wet look" liner. You can use it alone or with your High Shine to add definition. While we're pretty new to beauty blogging, we're definitely experienced (you'll never hear us say "old") when it comes to makeup, and we've never used a glossy liner before.

Buy them at Nordstroms and they'll throw in a deluxe sample of Capture Totale Serum.

It's Not Too Late to Get Mom Breakfast in Bed

One of our favorite things about staying in a hotel is ordering room service breakfast. There's something so decadent about having coffee and Eggs Benedict brought directly to you. We know mom would love breakfast in bed just as much. If you can't be there: order by 7:00 p.m. today to have this tasty breakfast sent to her. It includes everything she could want: coffee, tea, syrup, pancake mix, granola, and two mugs. Available on-line from Dean & Deluca.

Last Minute Mom's Day Gift

We’ve been a little preoccupied of late, what with two trips to Cali and one trip to NYC on our radar, our Aerosole’s giveaway not to mention all our other day to day stuff (but we’re not the type of blogger to whine about all of that).

The Bliss blogger event yesterday couldn’t have come at a better time for us forgetful daughters. (Sorry, Mom!) Lucky us, we scored the Youthgroup Skincare kit, which comes with the Youth as We know it Moisture Cream, Concentrate, Toner, Cleanser and Eye Cream. All are in handy travel sizes and it comes with the adorable cosmetic case, so mom can be an honorary JSG! You can buy it online at Bliss for $68 or at most Sephora stores.

Fortunately for all, Bliss is building new spas at a rapid clip—many are at hip W hotels including locations in NYC, LA, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta and soon to open, Scottsdale.

Mom not the spa-going type (Is that possible?) Take advantage of our discount for Philosophies Stationery.
