Wanted to let you know that quintessential LA brand “Young, Fabulous & Broke” is currently running a “Fabulous Broke Girl” contest on their Facebook page, where fans can submit a short video of their best “broke girl” moment. C'mon I know y'all have to have about a million of those or I wouldn't have as many readers as I do! 

The video entries have been absolutely hilarious so far, and it’s such a fun way to enter to win a $500 shopping spree, just in time for the holidays. I can't wait to enter, but which fabulous "broke girl" moment to choose from…

My fave broke girl moment goes to Phyllis Nefler in Troop Beverly Hills, "They cut my credit card in half!"

Best of luck, dolls! 

I always wanted to have my very own column called that. Isn't it so funny in US Weekly when they do that? Celebs are just like US! Anyway, “Gossip Girl” star Jessica Szohr was spotted purchasing the REMBRANDT® DEEPLY WHITE™ 2 Hour Whitening Kit at a CVS self check-out station in the West Village.

As Jessica knows, the REMBRANDT® DEEPLY WHITE™ 2 Hour Whitening Kit—a fast, enamel-safe way to whiten your smile – is the perfect last-minute addition to your beauty routine this holiday season. Whether you need to freshen up with a quick pre-party whitening, or just want to keep your smile white despite all the coffee, hot chocolate and red wine, REMBRANDT® has got you covered!

The REMBRANDT^®  DEEPLY WHITE™ 2 Hour Whitening Kit is available to purchase for $24.99 at food, drug, mass-market chain stores and specialty beauty retailers.

The holidays are coming at break-neck speeds! How is that we never seem to have our holiday shopping done in time? Even though December is without a doubt the most hectic time to shop, most of us don't have a choice (if you save things till the last minute). Even though it's crazy though you can get some great deal. If you need stuff for yourself though, the best time to buy is January. Sales apply almost everywhere because companies want to get rid of holiday items pronto. 

For me, I know I hate waiting, I want that pair of boots and I want them now. But if you can wait, then I suggest doing so. 

If you do need presents though for a party then go online, often times there are great deals and coupon codes. If you haven't yet, check out Retailmenot.com for coupon codes for your favorite sites. That site is amazing I have saved so much money. 

What are your great holiday shopping tips? 

Sometimes it's nice to dress up and look all glitzy for the holiday season! Especially at glamorous holiday parties.  Okay, okay, if you're anything like me your office holiday party is definitely not going to be glamorous, but that's no excuse not to make your hair look fabulous. Personally, my favorite hair accessory du jour is my hair necklace/crown that my mother-in-law bought for me. I LOVE IT!! It dresses up any casual outfit or makes you look like a princess for a night on the town. 

Here are some other great ideas for easy holiday hairstyles! Enjoy!!
