Fly Beauty: Do It Yourself Minx Nails by OPI

Minx nails are hot and I searched for salons that specialized in the heated-foil-sticker manicure but the price tag of $45 bucks for manicure made the nails desirable but not affordable. But OPI has come to the rescue; OPI has just released their new Minx products at Sephora. The process is simple, just heat, stick, file of the excess and I have my own set of Minx-like nails. The stick on nails come in eight patterns, and they cost $16 bucks for 16 patches. Yes! My nails look fierce and I have saved a bunch of money.

Fly Beauty: Spa Sally's 25 Tuesdays.com

And I thought Spa Week was a great deal. @SpaSally tweeted me about her site, http://www.25tuesdays.com/. Somehow, Spa Sally has convinced NYC's best spas to offer one of their most popular services for just $25 each Tuesday. You buy the spa package on a Tuesday and are able to redeem it on any day of the week. The discounted spa offer lasts exactly for 24 hours. Though Mondays are still manic, Tuesdays just got a lot more sweeter. Sally just might be my favorite pink person.
Check out today's spa offer:

Fly Beauty: Eat Cute and Heathly via Bento Boxes

The New York Times just posted a story about how bento boxes or obentos as the Japanese calls them- are becoming increasingly popular as a new way to pack lunch in the United States.

For my fly girls on a diet, try swapping out the brown paper bag and use a bento box. Using a bento box will help with portion control, promote variety (think of all the different veggies you could put in the different slots), they’re cute and they make lunch fun!
