The countdown to Christmas has begun and this is one present I would like to find in my stocking. The new Hanae Mori No. 7 perfume, the last in a limited edition series, offers a scent of fresh fruit, a hint of French pastry, and a host of exotic flowers. Available at Nordstrom’s, Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, and Neiman Marcus, $95 for 3.4 oz. Posted at 12:26 PM | Permalink | Comments: 0 |

I tried Ultherapy a few years ago, and while I loved the results, I’m not going to lie: it hurt a lot. But I just learned from Dr. Micheline Giovani that new studies show you can dial down the pain factor and still get the same results. “The ultrasound directs energy to muscles to lift and tighten the skin,” she explains. “The heat energy causes a thermal injury that helps build collagen—the substance that makes skin look more youthful.” While you do see an immediate lift, it takes three to six months for optimal results. “Most people opt for tightening the jaw line,”...
