Carolyn Braden says "Keep Awolnation on your in-style music radar "

I'm gearing up for Awolnation on Jay Leno tonight and for their concert at Southgate House. Keep them on your music radar. I believe they are going to be quite successful. Just look at their lead singer, Aaron Bruno. It's been a while since I've had a crush on a singer and he's the one many other girls should fall for too. I think Joey from NKOTB was the only other band crush I had and that was forever ago. I think it's the hair. Or maybe it's his catchy lyrics of "Sail". Just blame it on my ADD baby.

Carolyn Braden's Halloween Costumes: Kurt, Courtney and More!

I had a Halloween party last weekend and my wonderful friends certainly appeased my costume dress code. I really was unsure if anyone would actually dress up but they all did and looked great. My husband, Tommy, and I decided on Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. We hit up thrift stores for our outfits. I think we did pretty good in matching the picture below of the couple. Tommy played the part well, taking on a very grungy personality to match the grunge style.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Carolyn Braden Loving "Ooh La Liscious" Red Carpet Manicure

I'm still preferring Red Carpet Manicure Gel Polish over CND Shellac. The polish stays perfect forever. The formula just seems like it is more stable. Here is my latest color, Ooh La Liscious.

Carolyn Braden says "Tarina for Paul"

I am a Tarina Tarantino super fan so when I saw she partnered up with Paul Mitchell, I was so happy. Her line consists of product gift sets for different hair types and a beautiful flat iron and hair dryer. What a great holiday gift idea for the hair guru in your life!


Picture taken from my latest Vogue! I am loving the November issue. I foresee lots of romantic floral connections in the upcoming spring fashion.

Carolyn Braden says "Calgon, Take Me Away!"

Here's a great product to accompany your hot bath on a cold night. Calgon Bath Pearls smell like a beautiful tropical flower and are great for your skin! They contain pearl powder, collagen and vitamin E which will hydrate parched winter skin. After our first cold day here in Louisville, I couldn't wait to get home to take a steamy bath with this product. At under $6.00 at Walmart, it's a fantastic cheap treat. So in the words of my favorite Thursday night show, Parks and Recreation, "Treat yo-self" and buy it!

Carolyn Braden: e.l.f. Products, Inexpensive Wonders!

Have you tried Eyes, Lips, Face (e.l.f.) products yet? If not, run to a store and stock up today! I purchased Oil Blotting Sheets, Zit Zapper and Wet Gloss for Lash and Brows. Each product cost $1.00. The cheap price may make you think there's no way the product inside is good but think again. The Zit Zapper reduced the size of a recent pimple and cleared it up in one day. It's so portable so you can carry it with you all day if needed.
I purchased my products from Target. Some are $3.00 but most are just $1.00.
