People also think something is on my lip and sometimes attempt to rub it off for me. I just put shiseido sunblock over it and on the tip of my nose. I also had a coupel IPL treatments done. I look like I don't have a single freckle on my face but I can get the freckles above my lip back quickly if I were to tan and not put on the shiseido sunblock. <BR/><BR/>Btw, IPL hurts a little above the lip, it didn't hurt anywhere else.

Because it sends a signal. The signal that says, "I am so busy being fabulous, running marathons and drinking mojitos and giggling with my girls that I don't have time for you." And that's a deal breaker for most guys who aren't love 'em and leave 'em, frat boy/Wall Street, I'm-going-to-leave-you-when-it-suits-me types.

She's probably read every single issue of Us Weekly, InTouch, People and Teen People every printed and watched every episode of E! News Live since she was born, but in addition to that she's also one of the most academically accomplished, driven, insightful and funny women you'll ever meet. And I can tell you, from before she started this blog up until now, her heart has remained as strong and big as it ever was. The vapidity she writes about here is an outlet for her otherwise very serious and not at all "thankless" job.<BR/><BR/>The alone thing is just a freakin' laugh, because every guy I know (including my husband and brother) is in love with this woman.
