Just Back From BravoCon and Heading to My Diamond Glow Facial, Duh

Plus, popping a few things on the ol' vision board

FACIAL AT NOON

I have a Signature Hour Facial with Frankie Shay at Maison La Perche in an hour — a birthday gift I’ve been sitting on since February, and I’m so excited. Last week, a tiny whitehead appeared by my nose and was fully prepared to have it extracted by Frankie but I’m feeling around now and she seems to have disappeared. I’m pretty sure my new Medicube exfoliating toner pads handled that unwanted friend (thank you Korea). This is the description of the signature facial —

This treatment combines DiamondGlow® dermabrasion for deep exfoliation, followed by a gentle chemical or enzyme peel to refresh and renew the skin. Skin-clearing extractions are performed as needed, and the experience is completed with a nourishing mask and LED light therapy to promote healing and radiance.

Ideal for clients seeking a quick, effective refresh with glowing results. Dats me ✋🏻

When I found out I was going to BravoCon, I thought, perfect, this is the moment to cash in the cert and get glowing. But Frankie was in the middle of moving into her gorgeous new Studio City location and didn’t have availability until after the con.

So here we are: getting deeply exfoliated on a random Tuesday with nowhere to show off my shine - which also somehow feels exactly right.

BRAVOCON ROUNDUP

What a weekend!

For the last decade, I’ve been a student of the Real Housewives both as a fan and reporter. I’m a frequent guest on Bitch Sesh with Casey Wilson and Danielle Schneider — simply two of the best in the game. We have watched from a distance as cons have come and cons have gone. And while I’ve felt a light dusting of FOMO seeing the social posts roll in over the years, I never seriously considered attending the con.

I was perfectly happy consuming these glamazon Housewives from a safe, respectful distance — as the good lord intended. Casey and Danielle have always championed a firm #notagging rule, so they can speak freely about these gals without the threat of a nasty-gram being slid into their DMs.

For the last two years, I’ve also been having a fun covering housewives and all things reality over at Drama Darling with Amy Philips. Amy and I found each other back in the day at Funny or Die, admiring each other’s work from across the internet. Amy popped out with her iconic Rachel Zoe impression that was absolutely ba-na-nas (thrilled that Rachel has joined RHOBH and Amy’s oversized sunnies are back on) and my unhinged Real Housewives of New Jersey spoof caught her eye.
