Spa Week Daily Drugstore Frenzy: Top 8 Cheapie Mascaras

 great20lashIf you follow us on Twitter or are a fan of us on Facebook, you’ve probably seen that we like to pepper you with questions about all kinds of crazy things. We always like to hear your responses - but I think the question we asked this week might have garnered our biggest response yet.

You see, we wanted to know what your favorite drugstore standbys are - whether you swear by a $3 blush, a $5 eyeshadow palette, or $2 makeup removing towelettes, the aisles of the drugstore are full of treasures waiting to be discovered. Well, we got SO many responses that we’re going to be doling them out over the next week or so!

Mascara was one of the most popular recommendations from you, so we’re starting out with the all-star lash paint lineup. Here were the 8 that appeared on our hallowed social network feeds or are favored by the lovely ladies in our office.

Reader Response: Did You Chow Down During the Super Bowl?

chipsAfter the Saints went home with Super Bowl rings last night, Michelle asked you guys on Facebook and Twitter - did you indulge in junk food during the game?

Some of you were like me and did:
@FFSCOLUMBIA — ugh!…my little nephew and I went thru a movie theatere style box of sour gummies in 15 minutes!
@PamperMeFab — I had this pumpkin bread (cake) from Trader Joe’s with cream cheese frosting. It was so delicious and worth every calorie!
@diahnee — hawt dawgs
@S_Tenuta — cake and panda express… YIKES! Thank god for tomorrows boxing class! Lol!
@rampea2 — Chips!! (lots of them)

And then a couple of you were unmoved by party treats:
Winona Patterson — Honestly, I behaved pretty well. My hubby made some awesome chili, and I didn’t gorge myself… but well, there was that cheese dip that I just couldn’t walk away from.
@thejenlevin — I was very good at the party today! Only ate some veggies and fruit! And no beer! Don’t need a slip up day right now!

Whether you overate or overdrank during the game, or you just need a little healthy detox, might I recommend the following Spa Deals

5 Most Influential Spa Twitterers

picture-11

According to wefollow.com, a user-powered directory of Twitter accounts organized by interest, these are the top 5 most influential tagged #spa. We’re not the least bit surprised to see our recent partner, @ISpaDoYou, the Twitter account of the International Spa Association, at #1.

We’re thrilled to have @SpaWeek ring in at 2nd. Our ultimate goal in joining forces with ISPA is to spread our shared vision of bringing the health and wellness benefits of the spa lifestyle to the masses, and if this is any indication, we’re on the right track.

As American Spa Magazine put it: “Two of the biggest names in our business, ISPA and Spa Week, have teamed up. Read the ISPA + SPA WEEK story at American Spa Magazine.

Coming in the next 3 spots on WeFollow are @TalkSpas, @beautytipshub and @LeadingSpas… all worth following if you’re looking for the best of #spa in the Twitterverse.

Want more great #spa Tweeps on your radar? Here, 5 of @SPAWEEK’s favorites:

You Speak Out: The Food Diaries

appleOn Tuesday, we asked our Twitter and Facebook friends if they keep a food diary and if so, how. It looks like our respondents were pretty evenly divided between those who used technology to help them achieve their health goals and those who stuck with some old-fashioned methods that worked!

An Apple A Day (or a Blackberry, or an Android…)
Lisa Fung-Fernandes: iPhone app. Love it
Amy Schneider Cohen: anyone have an android app they would recommend for this?
Jessica Russell Hernandez: Iphone
Jennifer Bender McDonald: Online…The Daily Plate.com
Karen Mitchell: I do MUCH better when I log what I eat, otherwise I think I have more calories left for the day than I do. I’m with Jennifer and use TheDailyPlate.com
Christina Almond: I have kept one in the past and I actually kept it on my Blackberry! :)

Old-School
Meike Dayan Oliver: pen and paper
Monica Lucente Snyder: pen and paper.
Teresa Formato: in a small notebook in my purse-actually works to help eat healthier and not like a ravenous wolf if you do it.
Cassandra Herbert: pen and paper
Adina De Coteau: Notebook I carry everywhere
@AlwaysInStyle: pen paper, but i always stop after two weeks. it gets tiresome to right everything down.

Anyone want to help a girl out?
Amy Schneider Cohen: anyone have an android app they would recommend for this?

For our part, we checked around to see if we could find some good food tracking sites, apps, and tools. Here are our recommendations!

-Absolute Fitness iPhone app
-TheDailyPlate.com (as recommended by so many of our buddies!)
-If you’re an analog kind of person, you can’t beat the style and portability of a Moleskine

If your fave food-tracking tool wasn’t named here, leave it in the comments!
