I don't know about you, but if my toothbrush and razor had feelings, they'd probably feel out of place in my bathroom. My razor hangs vulnerably from the shower caddy, waiting to fall at any second. And my toothbrush's fancy sink-top holder grows rather unsightly at times (even with regular cleaning).

Flipper, a company devoted to holding razors and toothbrushes in style, has presented a solution. Their Web site, despite inducing paranoia about dirty countertops and dark, damp cabinets (eek!), sells a number of super-cute, ventilated plastic holders equipped with suction cups so you can stick 'em on the shower door. (The animal collections are great for getting kids to pay more attention to their toothbrushes!)

Used at the correct angle, the devices open and close automatically, adding lots of entertainment to your bathroom routine.

Their plastic exteriors may seem fragile, but they survive falls fairly well, stick sturdily to glass surfaces and are easy to put back together if they happen to come apart. (Note: Razor One, the razor holder, is made to fit an average disposable razor so it hangs open a tad if used with larger razors like the Gillette Venus.)

The best part? They're small enough to travel with and easy to clean (dishwasher-friendly!). Check 'em out!

I wanted to share a review I just wrote about Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel. We recently did a round up of some of our team’s top rated bronzers, and I was in the middle of testing this one -- part of Chanel’s gorgeous (as usual!) summer collection. Check it out and share your reviews on bronzers you’ve tried lately with me. Happy bronzing!

With warmer weather comes open-toed shoes and sandals and the need for us to get our feet back in shape. This past weekend it was unseasonably warm in Los Angeles, so I headed to the beach. My feet were looking pretty rough, so I did a little trick I've recently learned. I took damp sand and used it like a scrub to exfoliate my feet and elbows. It worked wonders and left my dry heels looking much smoother. Not near the beach? Try this file from Microplane. It's my go-to tool for getting rid of callused skin in the winter.

How is this possible? Not with the sun's rays, that's for sure. Jergens -- makers of the well-known Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer -- is joining stars like Kristen Bell ("Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and TV's "Veronica Mars") and The Skin Cancer Foundation in supporting the "Glow in the Dark" campaign to encourage women to stay out of the sun (and the tanning booth).

According to The Skin Cancer Foundation, sun exposure is responsible for more than 90 percent of all skin cancers. (And there are more than 1 million cases diagnosed annually among Americans.) So put down that bottle of coconut oil and head to jergens.com to support the cause. For every pledge toward a sun-free tan made on the site until Aug. 15, 2008, Jergens will donate $1 to The Skin Cancer Foundation (with a minimum donation of $10,000). Also, 500 people will be chosen at random to receive a sample of Jergen's new Natural Glow Express Body Moisturizer and the limited-edition "I Glow in the Dark" T-shirt Bell is wearing above. (It actually glows in the dark.)

And no ... you don't have to buy anything to show your support or win a prize. (But if you want to, here's where you can research Jergen's best products beforehand.)

Happy pledging!

This weekend I was able to experience a Dermalogica Microzone Treatment and Face Mapping session as part of their "Know Your Zones Tour." Kristen mentioned in her earlier blog that Dermalogica is traveling around with their skincare Airstream trailer (which is totally sleek and what I'd go camping in if I were the camping type) giving people detailed information about their skin type and recommending products. (See her blog below for upcoming dates and locations.) Associate editor Charli snapped a shot of me above sitting in the trailer while my friend Kellie gets her treatment -- and made me post it.

Sitting with the skin therapist was almost like visiting a palm reader. By taking a good look at my face, she was able to guess what hand I use to talk on the phone, my face washing habits, my water intake and the amount of stress in my life -- I was impressed. From there she gave me a targeted facial, focusing on the areas of my face that needed the most work. I left with smoother skin, free samples and a new motivation to chug water and wear sunscreen.

If you can check out the tour I highly recommend it -- you can get your face mapped and learn what type of products you should be using. Or if you can't make it in person, get your face mapped on the Dermalogica web site.

I know I've mentioned it a few times in previous posts, but here I go again ... my sister is getting married in May. What this means is that I am officially heading up her hair and makeup committee. To kick off the process of hiring the perfect hair and makeup team for her big day, we had a few trials. I'll be sharing tidbits of these trials with you for the next couple of weeks.

The first bit I need to share revolves around lashes. We here at TotalBeauty.com are seriously lash-obsessed (check out Our Editors' Favorite Mascaras) so it only made sense that I took the lash portion of my sister's makeup trial very seriously. She has amazing lashes, but they're blonde so they need layer upon layer of mascara to show them off.

When Ginny King, makeup and brow artist from the Brau Haus in Pasadena, Calif., first applied mascara to my sister's lashes, she did so in a conservative manner (see the first photo above). My sister's lashes looked nice, but were nothing to write home about. We knew my sis would need to apply her own mascara to get the effect she usually does, so she whipped out her long-time favorite Lancome Definicils, and went to town (see the results in the second photo below).

Amazing, gorgeous lashes. But I, being the older sister and all, had to push it a step further. "What about adding false lashes to the outer corners," I asked Ginny. She loved the idea, but my sister gave me the look of death.

After much convincing, she went for it (see Ginny carefully applying the lashes in the photo above). It's a trial after all. Much to my sister's delight, she couldn't even feel the lashes Ginny had applied. And, hello! Check out the third and final look (below).

Lashes galore! They don't look cheesy or fake at all, just gorgeous, thick and flirty. My sister has decided to wear them on her big day and I am thrilled. I'm hoping that Ginny will apply them to my lashes that day too.

Have you ever worn false lashes to special event? Do you love them or what?
