Thing of the Week

Hope you had a very nice week, everyone. Can't believe that tomorrow is September 1st. Crazy to believe that it's September already. At least that means that the temperature will hopefully be dropping over the next few weeks and I'll get to wear some of the 500 hoodies I have in my closet.

When seasons change it's often a time when people think about updating or changing their look, which brings me to the Thing of the Week:

the iVillage Makeover-o-Matic

It's a really easy and fun tool to use on the iVillage website (ya, it's shameless promotion, I don't care!) and Carolyn and I spent hours last night messing around with all of the options.

Here's how it works... When you go to the website you can either upload a photo of yourself, or choose from one of the stock models they already feature.

You go through and change hair style and color, eyes, makeup, glasses and hats (which are all ridiculous, btw) and then you can view your before and after.

So I wanted to try out the Makeover-o-Matic on a real photo, but I didn't want to use myself (I might be lying) so I decided to give my Mom a little makeover. Sometimes I think the tool is not only good for showing you what to do, but also for what you should definitely never do... ever.
