Wiener Dog Comp Album Saves Dachshund's Life

Wiener_Dog_Comp

A double cassette entitled The Wiener Dog Comp was compiled as a fundraiser for dachshund, Popcorn, who was suffering from a life-threatening growth in her belly. In order to pay for her costly operation, 71 bands donated unreleased tracks to compile the quirky album from Burger Records. The label confirmed that sales of The Wiener Dog Comp have already covered the cost of the operation- woo hoo! Best of all, additional proceeds will benefit the ASPCA. This just shows that when there is a will, there’s a way. Popcorn’s surgery might have been costly in a tough economy, but her owners used their personal talents to figure out how to save her life (and contribute to saving others’ too).

Brit’s Beauty Tips: #3

I am a strong believer in napping. A 20 minute nap can be just as reviving as an hour workout or a facial. If possible, try to sneak in a nap during your day. I know this may seem difficult, but 20 minutes is all you need (don’t snooze longer or you’ll get lethargic). I’m lucky enough that one of my clients set up a “nap nook” for me in my fitting room so I can rest during breaks in my schedule. You may not have this luxury, so get creative! I have a friend who used to doze in the bathroom, another that would find a discreet closet or, if you have a car, go ahead and curl up in the back seat! Your skin and energy level will thank you.

I love nail polish innovation. Since I have to keep my tips in nude tones for work, adding texture is a way to spice thing up a bit. I know what I’m doing tomorrow!

Li-LO-M-G. This amazing video shows the rise and tragic fall of Miss Lohan’s visage over 25 years in 60 seconds.

Brit’s Beauty Tips: #2

Have you ever had someone move away from you on the subway because you smelled….. of too much Angel by Thierry Mugler? I have. After that embarrassing incident I started spraying my hairbrush with fragrance before using it in the morning instead of spritzing (or rather pouring) it directly on myself. This way the scent is just in my hair, way more subtle and wafts behind me when I’m rushing between bookings. You’re welcome NY commuters (and sorry too).
