Essie Pama

In honor of national pomegranate month (who knew?!) Essie and Pama Liqueur have partnered to create a limited-edition nail polish in a pom shade of red called Pama.

We’ve had this on our nails and toes since we returned from Paris and it’s tres chic, no?

UPDATE: We forgot to mention- this polish WILL NOT be available for sale at Essie. In fact, it won’t be for sale at all– Pama Liqueur is going to be GIVING IT AWAY TO MAKEUP BAG READERS FOR FREE on their site! (Link coming soon, it’s not quite ready yet.)

Let’s have a little Pama Martini to celebrate, shall we?

Pama Martini Recipe

2 oz PAMA Pomegranata Liqueur
1 oz Super Premier Vodka
1/4 oz Orange Liquer

Combine all ingredients into a mixing glass. Add ice and shake vigorously with perfectly polished fingertips (sporting Essie PAMA, of course). Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a lemon zest. Enjoy!

Thank your man…

Okay, this is the best e-card we’ve EVER seen:

Aveda Men has a clever offer where you send your man a “Thanks, Man” e-card and he’ll receive a FREE Aveda Men sample offer— along with a personalized message from you thanking him for all he does.

The best part of this e-card is where you get to choose your recipient (significant other, friend/co-worker, family member) and then select up to three reason why you’re thankful for him. Our favorites: For watching my favorite show instead, For putting up with my “mood swings” and For teaching me how to drive stick.

We already sent one off to our husband this morning. Say thanks to your man, too!

Daily Style: The most perfect red shoes

If our husband ever wanted to get married again, these Pura Lopez N604 Pumps would be our wedding day shoes.

We could dance the night away twirling on our toes, wishing that morning would never come.

PS- Hello, Senora Lopez? What were you thinking when you named these shoes N604?? How about Penelope. Or Salma. Or even Red Pumps. Just saying.
