Women unite – It’s time to pay tribute to those fabulous ladies who’ve inspired you to look and feel your youthful best!

In honor of Elizabeth Arden’s birthday (2010 marks a century of beauty!), we are celebrating all women: mothers – daughters – sisters – grand moms – girlfriends.

And what better way to do so than by sharing inspirational stories and honoring those who’ve encouraged us to be our beautiful best? Well… it gets better! We’ve also added opportunities to win luxurious spa and Ceramide skincare prizes.

To enter: Simply log-on to www.daughtersofbeauty.com and answer the question, “Who keeps you looking and feeling your youthful best?” We want to hear your unique story and see photos of both you and the incredible woman who’s motivated you the most.

Share! Next, we’d love for you to join our growing group of “daughters of beauty” in reading all of the stories submitted and casting your vote for your favorite.

Running from now to May 9, the contest ends at 6 AM on Mother’s Day – when the winner will be announced by a panel of Elizabeth Arden and Redbook magazine judges.

Here’s a peek at what you could win!

One Grand Prize Winner will win an “Ultimate Indulgence” Day for two (2) people at the Elizabeth Arden Spa in New York

One Second Runner-up Prize Winner will receive an Elizabeth Arden Flagship Store $250 Gift Certificate for the Winner and a friend, redeemable for Elizabeth Arden skincare, makeup, or fragrance products

One Third Runner-up Prize Winner will receive an Elizabeth Arden Flagship Store $250 Gift Certificate for the Winner and a friend, redeemable for Elizabeth Arden skincare, makeup, or fragrance products

Honorable Mention – 10 individuals will each receive one Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules product (containing 60 Capsules) and one Ceramide Plump Perfect Ultra Lift and Firm Moisture Cream SPF 30

Good luck to you and your beautiful motivational women who inspire you.

Is your hair reality ready?

Have you always wanted to be a Reality Star, but the thought of living with a bunch of other people, trying for the "heart" of someone not your cup of tea? Well, Pantene has the contest for you. Now, thru April 18th, they are looking for the "World's First Reality Hair Star".

Pantene is reinventing itself again and wants to put its products to the LIVE test. They are looking for one lucky lady to test them out in a nationally advertised spot with Pantene spokeswoman, Stacy London. In addition to the chance to be live on national tv on May 25th, she will also "win the "Be the Rock Star You Are" experience from Bret Michaels, which will include tickets to one of his concerts this summer, first class airfare, a ride in Michaels' tour bus, and backstage passes."

To enter, you need to go to the info page and read all of the requirements to enter. Also, while you are there, make sure and check out some of your competition on the "Must See Videos" page, like Snooki and Lo Bosworth. (*I hear they may be more competition added, so keep checking back.)

If you DO enter, or if you just see an entry you really like, let me know about it so I can check out the entry, too. Good Luck!

Let's get this out of the way right up front:

The winner is: *winL*!!

Congratulations to them for winning the Birthday/Blogiversary goodies!

*Update: @WendyLoritsch (*man, I love me some twitter) just emailed me: " OMG SERIOUSLY!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!? THANK YOU!!! :) You rock! I'm SO excited to try some of your favs."

Thanks to everyone that entered - it was great to know what you guys liked, because, well - I'm nosy like that. ;) I wish that I could reply to each of you, but let me talk about a few things that kept coming up in the comments:

I am glad that so many of you liked the idea to keep your products in the fridge. I swear you will notice a huge difference next summer. It's suprising what just one little thing that can do.
I am thrilled to know that you guys enjoyed my NYFW coverage. I am glad you appreciated my perspective. I like to think that I made it just a little more accessible to all of those that don't get the opportunity to be there themselves. Plus, it was hella fun.
The fact that I may have influenced any of you to actually purchase/not purchase a product is wow for me. Makes me feel good that my opinion made a diff. Really.
It's good to hear that people liked the Daphne Guinness post. I don't write much about fashion, but I think that was more about the person & the creative stuff about her/around her. If something else comes up I find interesting, I won't hesitate to put something like this up again.

Thanks for coming around and I hope you keep coming back, because, like me - you just never know what you're gonna get when you stop by. xoxo
