Flip Flops to Fitness
Flip Flops to Fitness My general stance on body-toning sneakers is I’d rather actually do some exercise than be caught dead in a pair. But makers have cottoned onto the fact that women who care enough about their appearance to buy ass-firming shoes are unlikely to want to clomp around in...

Scrub it to Ya
Scrub it to Ya I love body scrubs—in theory. They hold such lofty promises of smooth, glowing skin and luxurious “at-home” pampering. The sad reality, however, (and I hope that this is your experience, too) is that at-home exfoliation usually involves me precariously balancing an...

Haters Gotta Hate
Haters Gotta Hate Ooh, an exciting week for me, readers! My first bit of—well, hate mail is possibly too strong a word, but my first email criticizing the words that flow onto this page. Edited slightly for coherency, Sam writes: “Good Morning Sarah. S—t, [shit?] you are gender...

I’ve Got the Bug
I’ve Got the Bug As a rule, I don’t tend to write much about kids’ stuff (with all our rude columnists, they really shouldn’t be reading this magazine), so when I went to the launch of Booster Bugs last Friday, it was literally because I’d been promised that there...

Dear Dad
Dear Dad Father’s Day is coming up on June 19, and if I know my own pops (which I do), then I know that nothing would make him happier than a box full of electrical wires and an afternoon peacefully cataloging his music collection. But if your dad is more into keeping himself looking groomed...

Get Stacked
Get Stacked Back when I was studying in England, my occasional treat would be to pop into Lush and pick up a pretty bar of soap or a moisturizing cream from the ultra-fragrant, all-natural bath brand (nope, didn’t have to tell student me to go get a wash). Nowadays, I’m sent most of my...

Something New, Something Blue
Something New, Something Blue With the big W-Day looming, I’m always on the lookout for weddingy beauty products—not to write about, week in, week out, mind you; only the most boring bridezilla would do that. But I just can’t resist sharing with you the Essie wedding collection of...
