Hey! I'm Aliza and I'm thrilled to have joined the ChickAdvisor team as an intern! I've been an active member of the site for years and it feels great to join the family. Let me tell you it's tight knit around here and everyone has made me feel so welcomed. I LOVE IT! I am really looking forward to meeting and interacting with the rest of the family (that's you!).
Chicks, I have mentioned this before (I pretty much tell every person I meet this) but I can't tell you enough how much I love a good beard on a man. I would profess my love for beards from the mountain tops if I could. Every man should have a beard. It's always, always, always, better with a beard (in my humble opinion).
I hope that I'm alone in my beardy love, though I do...
It's no secret we are caffeine junkies here at ChickAdvisor H.Q; and the $2 drink at 2 from Sense Appeal is a total enabler. In the picture below that, you will see the lovely Aliza Chagpar, who has just been crowned our newest Intern. Aliza has been a ChickAdvisor member for some time, so she had us at 'hello'. Of course I had to take pictures of her outfit and those...
Name: Nora Alias: Nora Borealis You can spot me by my: blonde hair, pale skin, red lips, matching bike, and uniform of oversized Breton stripe tops with straight-leg jeans.
I like to be busy; overly busy, if I can be. I’m happiest when I have too many places to be and not enough time to do everything, so I’m committed to a life where a typical week includes a delightfully unpredictable...
Today was one of those days where my mind and reality were not in synch. While my mind told me I could totally handle all of my appointments, a workout and prepping for a party, reality was I was late for all of it and today was unbelievably hot. Crazy hot weather makes every task more challenging because sweating (and usually, swearing) is involved.
I have to admit it: I love my new job. While I’m still a regular part of the ChickAdvisor team, I now have a pint-sized Mini-Me in charge of my daily schedule. One who stops traffic with his bi-toothed grin and cheerful “Agoo?”
Once upon a time, my agenda was crammed with fashion events, work lunches, and sales meetings. These days my routine involves working frantically while the...
I consider myself to be fairly sun savvy. Six years working in the beauty industry have ensured I always apply a facial lotion with SPF in the mornings and keep a stash of wide brimmed hats by the door. You will never catch me sunbathing. Yet somehow, I get burned every summer. I've also noticed a fair amount of pigmentation around my hairline and on my cheeks that is...
I do a lot of running around, whether it's going from work to an event to the gym, or shopping, errands, and dinner with friends so I can't have anything slowing me down. I'm always on the lookout for products that will help keep me looking and feeling my best throughout the day.
Having curly hair one of the absolute worst things is getting that deflated, limp wave after...
I saw this in a magazine listed as a top tip of designers. It's something I've never heard of before, but apparently painting the inside of a black lampshade shocking pink or red is not only a design statement, it creates softer mood lighting. Since I'm such a newbie to this whole D.I.Y business, I thought this fool-proof project had my name all over it. I got a gorgeous...
I recently opened up about my weight loss and diet experience. As I mentioned in that article, I've been eating a lot of the same food items lately, so finding good tasting as well as good for me foods was very important. I experimented with kale (in chip and in green smoothie form), ate greek yogurt like there was about to be a shortage, and cottage cheese and I had a lunch love affair...
