Bring Back the Pretty
The Pink Olive's "fashionista" journal is the cutest, most adorably-girly notebook I have ever seen! Each page features beautiful color illustrations of a fashionista going about her normal everyday activities, such as dressing for work, checking out her outfit in a full-length mirror, and window shopping in the city.
This journal, published by Coco Press, is the perfect size to stash away in my purse to jot down quick notes and keep track of my to-do's. Not a fashionista like me? (kidding) Check out Grace Kang's other unique, charming gifts and accessories on Pink Olive Boutique! There is something for everyone, including every bride-to-be, mommy-to-be, kids, and even your dog!

Crazy Hair Alert!
Unfortunately, I was not one of those lucky people born with beautiful, silky-straight hair. Mom and Dad had curly hair, so I didn't even have a chance. Instead of accepting the genes I inherited, I spent most of my teen years fighting my natural curls with a blowdryer and straightening iron.
Years later, I finally realized that taking an hour and a half to do your hair every morning is just not worth it (sleep is so much better!). I've finally learned to embrace my curls after finding (through much trial and error) an amazing product from Paul Mitchell.
This Sculpting Foam (Medium Hold) is a conditioning mousse that gives your curls lift without the sticky, crunchy-hard texture that comes with other alcohol-laden mousses. For even more moisture, try a great tip I learned from my hair stylist: start with a dime-sized amount of any hair serum (such as Biosilk Silk Therapy Treatment or John Frieda Frizz-Ease Hair Serum
) and then dispense the foam directly on top, mix it together and scrunch it into your hair. You'll get bouncy, shiny curls that last all day!

Natural-looking lipstick for shiny, happy people
Have you been desperately trying to find a lipstick that actually looks natural on your fair skin, but to no avail? Well, look no more. Clinique has the most amazing, flattering lipstick that combines the staying power of a lipstick with the natural finish of a gloss. The Color Surge Butter Shine Lipstick truly does feel like butt"ah" on your lips, and the Berry Blush color is the perfect rosy, slightly-shimmery everyday hue for fair-skinned chicas like me. No more buying a lipstick that you think looks good in the tube only to realize when you get home that it looks totally different on your lips! I am so hooked on this stuff that I actually went through it in only three months! My lipstick woes are over!
Get my favorite "Berry Blush" for $14 or choose the similar "In the Pink" color for the same price and $10 from your purchase helps support The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
