Were you aware that today, Wednesday, February 25th is Spa Day USA?  Every woman needs a little indulgence, even more so with the doom  and gloom that is being preached from the governmental pulpit. A way to celebrate Spa Day is to pamper yourself at home with a luxurious long, luscious bubble bath.  Stepping out of the tub, step into the new spa collection from KN Karen Neuburger.

The lightweight, soft pima cotton blend of the KN Kimono Robe wicks away moisture, making it a perfect option post-bath. Both stylish and flattering, this robe is one for lounging morning, night and anytime in between.

The KN Karen Neuburger Kimono Robe retails for $78.00 and is available in light pink, white, sage and light blue. 

Beckie owns this lightweight kimono in pink.  The wicking fabric is a must for perimenopausal or menopausal women who suffer from the dreaded hot flashes.

The KN Treatment Wrap is great for the on-the-go girl who loves a little luxe, but needs something a bit more functional to help rush through her makeup and beauty routine. THis is Jamie's favorite morning attire.  Even if she's not on the go, she seems to be going somewhere.

Baby terry cloth, simple straps and a low neckline make this the perfect piece for applying beauty and hair product. The KN Karen Neuburger Treatment Wrap retails for $46.00 and is available in light pink, white, sage and light blue. Give your feet a treat for Spa Day!

Here’s one of the oldest feet-friendly tricks in the book and one we are performed last night: Before we tucked ourselve in bed, we lathered our tired tootsies with Acquaphor. Then we slid on a pair of KN  Chenille lounge socks.  This morning our peds are as soft as baby feet.

Comfy, cozy, and chenille, the KN Stripe Lounge Socks are a must for the pampered princess. Foot fashion at its finest! The KN Karen Neuburger Chenille Stripe Lounge Socks retail for $15 and are available in light pink, sage and chocolate.

This Wednesday, celebrate Spa Day USA the fashionable way- with the new Spa collection from KN Karen Neuburger.

Did you know that the average woman will have lost 40 percent of her skin's collagen by the time she's 60 years old? Well before menopausal age, women need to start their wrinkle-prevention therapy according to Dr. Henry Hess, in his new book The Perfect Menopause: 7 Steps to the Best Time of Your Life.

Menopause is a source of fear for the average woman: Her sex drive comes to a screeching halt, she puts on 10 pounds, and suddenly, her face looks decades older, but Dr. Hess offers 7 steps to wrinkle-proof your face.

I know most of my beauty and fashion blogger colleagues are chatting up Black Friday this morning, but I have a more important issue at hand.  I have been having a bad hair day -- year!  My double cowlicks have been battling for territorial rights.  Working with my stylist yesterday, I thought we might have conquered the dreaded enemy, but to my dismay, upon arriving home and arming myself with my big hand mirror, I gasped in horror when I saw the back of my head.

"Agh!"

There was hair spiraling like a tropical cyclone on the top left and hair coiling like a snake in a basket who had been hypnotized by a snake charmer on the top right and down the back of my head, a straight part that halved the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere of my brain.

On top of that, there was an Alfalfa cowlick sticking up like the middle finger on a hand giving the world the bird.

And it didn't take much coiling for me to see my Buster Brown bangs carved on the front of my forehead either!

Did I say I have been having a bad hair year?

On top of this, I discovered that gravity -- Hasn't the wicked witch of menopause already exerted enough gravitational pull on my body? -- is playing a dirty trick with my hair.

One of my cowlicks is a bit lower down the back of the head; hence, the hair that wants to grow and lie forward toward the front of the head has to fight against gravity. Because it's fighting gravity, it's not lying the way it wants to. When hair doesn't lie the way it wants to, it will stick up.  Hence, my middle finger, Alfalfa look.

I'm trying to be grateful that I HAVE hair, knowing that gratitude is the key to peace and happiness, but c'mon, I now have Buster Brown bangs and double Alfalfa cowlicks for Christmas.  And all I wanted was my two front teeth -- veneers.

Ah, but knowledge is power, and I'm going to kick my cowlicks' butt with knowledge.

Researching my options, I came up with five ways to tame cowlicks.
