8 Steps for a Flawless At-Home Manicure
From the supple softness of your skin to the elegance of the high-gloss finish and rich, thick color perfectly brushed across your nail beds – few moments in life are as gratifying as the minute you step outside of the nail salon and admire the artist’s handiwork. A manicure is a great way to pamper yourself, boost your mood and raise your confidence, but if you’re running to the professionals every time you’ve got a chip then things can start to get a little pricey. In order to save cash, and avoid waiting in line, here are a few steps to achieve a flawless salon-look manicure at home:
1. Take off all old polish with a thick cotton ball and your choice of remover. Your local Bay Area drug store or beauty shop should have plenty of options ranging in price. One of the best product [...] Continue reading →
Marc Cohn at Yoshi’s San Francisco
On Tuesday evening, fans gathered at Yoshi’s in San Francisco to hear the soulful music of artist Marc Cohn. This was the first time I had attended a concert at this venue, and found Yoshi’s to be one of the best locations for a show that I had visited. Effortless parking, spacious seating, and excellent cuisine made Yoshi’s a memorable setting for a relaxing evening. Breaking away from the band, Cohn sang with only his guitarist Shane Fontayne for this very intimate performance.
The night began with some of Cohn’s classic numbers, like “Perfect Love,” a song about his brother and the innocence and thrill associated with young love. Other songs from the set included “29 Ways,” a rendition of Willie Dixon’s 1956 original. This is the only cover song Cohn produced prior to [...] Continue reading →

FIRST FRIDAY Art Walk
It is Friday evening and the workweek is over. What next? See a movie? Meet some friends for dinner? Catch up on laundry? How about something new and out of the ordinary? This is exactly what locals are doing every first Friday of the month at San Jose’s own South FIRST FRIDAYS Art Walk. Unlike a typical Friday, San Jose’s art walk is a great way to indulge in street fare, interact with local artists and listen to new tunes you can’t find on the radio.
I recommend beginning your creative adventure by getting a bite to eat at one of the local food trucks. Although a follower on Twitter, I have never had the chance to actually try MogoBBQ. Obviously I had not checked into Twitter that evening because I was overly excited when I stumbled on their food truck parked near the stage. Per M [...] Continue reading →

This Saturday, July 23rd will be another great installment of D1ME at The Pagoda.

Designer Profile- Lex Designs
Many of you have given us great feedback about the DYI blogs from Lex Designs and her easy to follow tutorials. I thought maybe it was time that you met the woman behind it all! I personally am very fond of Lex and her designs and see her making it big! I admire her as a woman, Mom, and artist. She did a great job writing about why she does what she does and who she is:
“First and foremost, I’m a stay at home mother to three beautiful daughters and have been married for eight years to my elementary school sweetheart. I could stop at that and be completely satisfied.
I didn’t go to design school, or have any lifelong dreams of doing this. It happened a little more accidentally. A few years ago I began sewing small things for my daughters, like baby blankets. It slowly progr [...] Continue reading →
Asal – Makeup Artist
Like a lot of women out there, I have always wanted to get all “dolled up” and have a professional photo shoot. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to do this. I have admired the work of Asal Makeup Artist for some time. A Bay Area local, Asal has worked with celebrities, done editorial shoots and fashion shows, and made even the every day woman look and feel glamorous.
The day of the photo shoot, I was not exactly sure what to expect. I had never really had my makeup done or been part of a photo shoot. Asal did an excellent job of listening to how I wanted my make-up done, and knew exactly which colors and make-up techniques would highlight my attributes. I typically do not like w [...] Continue reading →
