So you've been on your feet all day...and you're still expected to wear heels all night long at that New Year's Eve party. Don't shy away from your favorite pair of stilettos. Amazing Arches ($6.95 per pair) from Foot Petals will cushion your feet and make you feel comfortable way past midnight, giving footwear that previously didn't work for you a second chance. The extra padding sticks to your shoes and cushions every part of your foot, creating a virtual arch for flat feet and offering much-needed stabilization. The best part: It works with your body's natural shock absorption system to reduce foot fatigue. Go to www.footpetals.com to purchase a pair. But don't check out before grabbing a pair of Heavenly Heelz ($4.95-$18.95) too. They are total lifesavers! I recently went to a store to buy a pair of high heels I was eyeing for months. When I tried them on, my heel kept slipping out of the back of the shoes. Thanks to Heavenly Heelz, I can step out in style once again.
The good news: The 'rents have decided to babysit so you can go out on New Year's Eve. The bad news: There's no time for a brow wax in between Gymboree class and diaper changes. For a quick way to look fuzz-free, try Parissa Mini Wax Strips for Eyebrow Design ($8.99). They're the simplest, mess-less, quickest way to clean up your brows in no time flat. Plus, they come with an easy-to-follow guide for face shapes to make brow waxing a snap. Look for them at Target, Duane Reade, Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Ulta and online at parissa.com and myperfectbeauty.com. While you're shopping, check out the entire Parissa collection and dare to go bare elsewhere too.
Running from work to holiday party with no time to spare? Forego the blow-dry and spend $3.99 on the Goody Ouchless Updo Barrette at your local drug store. Available in large or small sizes, this soft, flexible clip gently grips your hair for long-lasting style and comfort. The no-metal hinge and clasp design eliminates hair breakage and the soft plastic means you can lean back and relax. Just gather hair in back, twist it in your hand then wrap it into a loose bun at the back of your head. Clip into place and let front strands hang loose. Now you're ready to party. Go to www.goody.com and pick your favorite clip.
