Smoke Signals, $32 - I like organic eye makeup. Sometimes I use <i>MAC</i>, but most of the time, I use <i>bareMinerals® Wearable Eye Makeup Kit</i> in <i>Meet the Stones</i>. It has three different shades of black, and I mix it with this other eye shadow set called <i>Meet the Browns</i>. It’s smoky, but it has a little pop to it with the brown.

Lash Blast, $5 - Lashes really complete the smoky eye. I use two pairs of lashes, but nothing too dramatic. I start with a pair of thin, spaced-out lashes, then I apply another pair of thin lashes. You can purchase the &lt;i&gt;Ardell&lt;/i&gt; brand right at CVS. You don’t have to spend $30 on lashes. You can spend $3.00 to $5.00 and get exactly what you need.

Tressed Out, $15-$19 - My stylist is a man by the name of Randy Stodghill. He does my hair perfectly! I love a lot of layers and big hair. Lately, I’ve been wearing this shoulder-length hair. He’s very good at keeping my hair healthy. On a daily basis, I use &lt;i&gt;Paul Mitchell Lite Detangler&lt;/i&gt;. It’s a spray-in conditioner.

Running on 'E', $14 & up - For my face, I use &lt;i&gt;The Body Shop’s Vitamin E Cream Cleanser&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Vitamin E Illuminating Moisturizer Cream&lt;/i&gt;. The face wash is not soapy, it’s actually very creamy. My skin consultant advised me that cream-based cleansers are best for people with very dry skin. I also take &lt;i&gt;GNC’s Women’s Ultra Mega&#174; Active Multivitamin&lt;/i&gt;. It has everything that a woman needs. It makes me feel very vibrant.

Pumped Up - Sometimes I use toe cushions, but most of the time I don’t use anything. I try to keep comfortable heels. I love Gucci and Giuseppe, but the most comfortable would probably be Cesare Paciotti. Even the shoes that look uncomfortable are comfortable.

Waisted Ambition - I do 50 crunches when I wake up and 50 crunches when I go to sleep. I started doing this last year and I’ve been on it! I also always do 45 minutes on the treadmill and I don’t overeat... That's it.
