lesson one: stay above autumn aches. lesson two: always be a sure thing. lesson three: read your monthly beauty picks.
 king of creams.
step aside, la mer. a new product holds court among skin savers. the new luxe giorgio
armani crema nera ($225) contains mineral-rich obsidian (fancy word for volcanic glass) that does the trick for all skin types. softens and smooths for the younger set. brightens and tightens for, well, the not. oh, just go out and get it already.

 spread your wings.
no, mariah isn't at it again. but senspa is with their autumn
butterfly renewal treatment. dry brushing increases circulation, while cocooning and detoxifying boosts your immune system. here's to hopes you'll experience a true metamorphosis and be ready to take on this season's reality TV. senspa.

 cold-hearted snake.
peter thomas roth would agree given his latest, un-wrinkle
eye cream ($120). this jar of wonderment is pumped with SYN-AKE, a synthetic neuropeptide that mimics the venom of a brazilian viper. huh? we're no scientists. but we know it minimizes the damage done around your peepers. available
at sephora. 2083 union street. 415.614.2704.

 light my fire.
add the brit jo
malone candle gift set to the list. the chest of lime basil & mandarin and vintage gardenia mini candles comes with exquisite packaging ($150). available

 pressure cooker.
if dr. aycock is doing it, it has to be good. yes, dearies,
his high
pressure oxygen facial has to be the most coveted treatment in the land.
SF gals will soon be racing across the bay bridge (a rarity, we
know) to pump their cells with oxygen for a glow that's so now (madonna included). 1855
san miguel drive. walnut creek. 925.937.8377.

 shu-rrrr thang.
best way to bid farewell to the SF summer (didn't it just start)? take a bath. shu
uemura is bringin' the bath back with the revival of pleasure
of japanese bath. a focus on purification, well-being and sensuous happiness, and you can wash away troubles (and those indomitable acts of last weekend). shu
uemura. 1971 fillmore street. 415.395.0953. www.shuuemura-usa.com |
