Put a bounce in your locks with Conair’s Curl Secret!
Is it a scientific breakthrough? Is it magic? We’re not sure, but we are OBSESSED with the Curl Secret! It’s the first, fully automatic, lean, mean curling machine which takes less than 20 minutes to curl an entire head of hair! Want loose, beachy curls? Tight ringlets? Something in between? The Curl Secret will deliver…in seconds! All you gotta do is separate hair into 1/2 – 1 inch sections which are then gently drawn into a barrel curling chamber. Once curl is formed, the Curl Secret begins to beep. That’s how you know to release your locks, and voila! SO EASY!
Sweeten your winter with Especially Escada
We love this fragrance! Subtle, pretty and fresh; Especially Escada is our new everyday.
This delicate scent is built around a rose accord and opens with an enticing top note of pear, which combines with muskier notes of Ambrette seeds for a fruity burst of freshness.
Created with the fun-loving, spontaneous woman in mind, this luxurious and feminine scent embodies a gal who stays true to herself and lets her imagination run wild. Sound familiar? Probably ‘cuz it’s YOU!

Get your yoga on at Downward Dog
“I’m, like, TOTALLY going to get back into yoga next year!”
Sound familiar? We bet.
Don’t wait until 2014 to create better habits; tackle your New Years resolutions RIGHT NOW. Our grand slam winner will receive a 10 class pass to Downward Dog. In addition to tried-and-true Ashtanga flow and restorative classes, this studio knows how to mix things up and have a little fun. If you’re feeling adventurous, give Yoga Jam a go which incorporates wicked tunes and improv. Or, if you’re in the mood for something a little more traditional, Mysore is it. A self-guided practice may seem intimidating at first, but once you let go and embrace and your breath and instincts the results are magical!
