Take the #OneShowerChallenge with Dove’s NEW Body Wash
During the Emmy’s Dove hinted at something big was going down with their body washes and started this whole #OneShowerChallenge campaign. To be honest, they were throwing out words like ‘breakthrough’ and ‘setting a new standard’ and I had no idea what it was all about. Until now.

The Jean Scene with LYCRA® Brand & Cosmopolitan Magazine
Fashion week is done! Now comes the fun part of going through my notes and sharing all the behind the scenes commentary from backstage at the shows and parties.
On Wednesday night I got my denim on when Cosmopolitan Magazine invited me to join their Emerging Designer Showcase, which was followed by the Jean Scene After Party, presented by the LYCRA® brand.
Both the Showcase and After Party took place at The Glasshouses in NYC. The Showcase featured a runway show by up-and-coming label, ROOMEUR, designed by Hagit Kassif. Then came the After Party, which included models strutting their stuff in jeans from DL1961 Premium Denim, Joe’s, and Hudson Jeans. What do jeans from these three brands have in common? They all feature LYCRA® fiber technology which is used to give jeans an amazing fit that lasts so they won’t stretch out or sag.
For the event, DL1961 Premium Denim outfitted me in a pair of Florence INSTASCULPT Skinny jeans. They contain all the amazing benefits of LYCRA® fiber, including 4-way stretch so they contour your body. The customized fit with 360° stretch is perfect for my lifestyle – especially during fashion week when I’m running around.
I actually premiered them earlier in the week when I hosted an event with cast members of Orange is the New Black for Save the Garment Center (which is all about promoting production of garments in New York). And seeing as the jeans were made in the USA, and are so flattering (and comfortable!), they were the perfect choice for the evening.
