"Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall in place" - Marylin Monroe.

Whether it be in regards to love, work, relationships, or your favorite restaurant, I couldn't have said it better myself.

Man Tip Monday

Tip: "Casually" name dropping exotic countries you've been to within the first 5 minutes of meeting a girl demonstrates that you are self-involved more than it demonstrates that you are well-traveled.

Vacation Recap.

I apologize CANY readers for my lack of posting, but it is alas summer and I've been visiting beaches to get last bit of summer sun in (Hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do). I just got back from the Bahamas and The Hamptons. Two very different places with very pretty beaches. Below is a list of top ten things I learned while in Paradise:

10. I highly reccomend the Bahamas as a vacation destination to all New Yorkers. It is only a 2.5 hour plane ride (direct on Jet Blue!). I stayed at the Atlantis Resorts which I highly reccomend. I only left the resort once during my entire trip!

9. Every beach vacation needs a beach cocktail. Pina Coladas and Mango Mojitos were some of my favorites.

8. If going to the Hamptons, check out SAG Harbor. They have some fantastic restaurants and nightlife.

7. ALWAYS wear sunscreen! I lathered up with this great stuff from Neutrogena.

6. A pedicure is a must before hitting the sand. I love this DIY kit from Crabtree & Evelyn.

5. While I don't believe it make up at the beach, a little waterproof mascara never hurt anyone. I put two coats on in the morning and some chapstick and I was set.

4. My favorite pool in the Bahamas was the Cain at the Cove Atlantis. It's an adult only pool with great music, cocktails, and beautiful people.

3. My favorite beach in South Hampton was Cooper Beach. Go early to get a prime spot near the water and beach shack that serves great snacks.

2. The Chlorine and salt water killed my hair. Thankfully, I brought along Moroccon Oil. It transformed my hair from crunchy and sticky to smooth and shiny instantly.

1. And my number 1? Turn off the cellphone, blackberries, and laptops!!!! These things are not necessary or a good idea while on any sort of vacation. It's important that you enjoy your last days of summer.

Happy Beaching!

Yes, Another Video.

If you haven't already done so, go see 500 Days of Summer. It's a story about love, not a love story. So don't go expecting sunshine & roses & singing birds (though there are some of those, too). And my, my, my! Joseph Gordon-Levitt sure has grown up nicely since his days on Third Rock From The Sun.

Peachy Keen

I have found a new love, and it comes in a bottle. Peaches & Boo Boo's "Save My Feet Blister Elixir" might just be the greatest invention of the decade (though the Wii is a close second).

Nothing is more heartbreaking than buying a completely cute new pair of shoes, and tear your feet to shreds trying to break them in, only to discover that they will not, in fact, stretch out over your fat feet.

Save My Feet to the rescue! Just rub a small amount (about a dime-sized amount per foot) where the shoe could potentially rub blisters, and you're good for up to 8 hours!

Because if there's anything more sad ugly blisters at the beach, it's a new pair of shoes sitting lonely and forlorn in your closet.
