Humidity = WATER x10!

So, it is again a hot, humid, sticky day in Philadelphia. But no need to frown! I got some solutions for you!

Quote of the Day:
Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.

Nessa's Beauty Tip of the Day:
Water is a necessity! All the time, everyday, and especially in the summer! So, to make sure your skin, hair, nails, etc. continue to look beautiful, you must drink up! Yes, that means AT LEAST 8-10 glasses of water/day.

Personally, I love Fiji, but any water works! Just make sure you drink up. And, not to mention, drinking up tends to curb your appetite. :) Which is always a plus as well!

Event of the Day:
Center City Sips! 5-7pm. Go almost anywhere in the city and enjoy $2 beer, $3 wine, and $4 special cocktails! Check it out!

Events of the Week:
MUSIKFEST in Bethlehem, PA: Begins this Friday and lasts till next Sunday. Fun times, good music, delicious food, and exciting people!
**Not to forget about the Sands Casino that just opened in Downtown B-town as well! :) After the bands at Fest, head over and make a night of it at the casino!

Walking to my Internship in 92% Humidity...

It's pretty amazing what you see when you walk in the city at 8:30am...
-People in sneakers, but wearing dresses/skirts
-People parking their motorcycles, but in their suits
-People riding long bikes on the actual road with cars!
...yes, it is an interesting sight, and something that should not be missed!

Quote of the Day:

“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”


Ness's Beauty Tip of the Day:
You know when you have to do that long walk to work, and the humidity total kills the hair that you worked at least 30 minutes on to look "okay"...? Well, do not fret! There is a special tip that will help you keep the hair from looking disastrous:
*Always pack a little comb + hair clip in your clutch/purse!*
...You will always be able to quickly head into the bathroom, wipe the sweat off of your forehead and nose, and comb or tease your hair. Then, twist your hair and use your clip to secure your hair back! No one will be able to tell you were sweating your butt off while walking to work! :)

City Lovin' for Friday:
Public House: Enjoy Build Your Own Martini Fridays! From 6-10pm, enjoy $5 martinis. If interested for a complimentary hour, please contact Me at vanessa.rottet@temple.edu! :)

The POOF!

Quote of the Day:
"Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between 2 deep breaths."

Nessa's Beauty Tip of the Day:
Don't you hate when you wake up late and have no time to wash your hair? Or how about when you don't want to bother with the hassle of washing, drying, and styling your hair? Well, don't fret because there's a solution to this! - The POOF!
1. Spray hairspray all over your hair*
2. Pick 1 inch sections from the top
of your head, and tease the hair with a comb (comb the hair down as you hold the section)
3. Spray the teased section with hairspray again
4. Brush back the huge hair, so it does not look all crazy
5. Use 2 bobby-pins to secure your crown POOF.
6. and, Enjoy!

*My favorite hairspray - Extra-body firm finish spray by Paul Mitchell - it works perfect all the time!



Event of the Day:
Ladder 15: 6-8pm Young Professionals in Communications Meet and Greet - Drink Specials, Networking, Just kicking back after work, enjoying a cold one with great people. - No Cover

It's only a start :)

Quote of the Day:
"Dreams are free, so free your dreams!"

Nessa's Beauty Tip of the Day:
To keep a beautiful, white smile:
1. Floss
2. Gargle with Listerine Whitening Pre-Brush Rinse
3. and, Brush your teeth for at least a minute!
*Finally, this should only be done AT MOST once a week to ensure brightness, but not harm. Use Crest Whitestrips for 20 minutes. Peel off and reveal that lovely smile! :)
