Josie's Juice - ta-da! She's got a brand new logo and header!


Oh. Em. Gee.

I am so excited about this post and it has nothing to do with a new product, global edition of a fave magazine, upcoming TV show, or latest accessory or beauty must-have.

Nope. This time, it's all about ME.

Well, not me, technically... specifically, my beloved blog. That'd be Josie's Juice. Y'know, the one you're reading right now.

I am so chuffed - it's had a mini, teeny makeover.

As it heads into 100,000 pageviews since my first blog post many months ago, this l'il baby has had a facelift.

The header! The logo! It's all new, brand spanking new!

And it all came about serendipitously, as the good things in life often do.

You see, my good buddy Adam Cubito - I've known him since he was this uber-switched-on dude working at a media agency - offered up the chance to have my logo and header re-done.

And I thought, well, why not?

He is, after the all, the National Online Content Editor at radio's NovaFM.com.au, so Ads knows a thing or two about clever looking sites and hawt-looking logos and stuff (I am so not a tech-head. But Ads? Totes.)

So, as I have just this second uploaded my new logo and header and let out one of those completely involuntary squeals of delight, I very much wanted to spread the word about his talents as much as I possibly could. (I found I even needed to create a new keyword for my blog posts called 'Cool People').

So, all official-style I wanted to let you know that Adam Cubito is available for freelance design work and you can contact him direct via adamcee@me.com. He does logos, blog headers and any web artwork you fancy.

And I highly recommend you follow him on Twitter here: @gotads.

He Tweets a lot. But he's actually, really... funny.

Now excuse me while I spend another hour ogling and fondling my new Josie's Juice thang.

Okay, that's enough now... back to blogging!

Love.

Who magazine: April 4, 2011: Jolie-Pitts

Oh, alright I'll admit... I love spying on piccies of the Jolie-Pitt twins.

Oh come on, I am not feeding that paparazzi machine - the supply and demand monster which determines the price of pap shots. You think those pap shots of the Ange-and-Brad-fam-outing weren't staged?

You know, an organised photo call to show how they are one big happy (rainbow) family?

And a demonstration of how expertly they can conceal hired help out of shot?

Meeeeow!

Also in this week's Who, the story on the Renée Zellweger/Bradley Cooper break-up, harrowing accounts from Japan tsunami victims, plus a photo special of Tinseltown's cutie kiddlywinks: from Louis Bullock, to Suri Cruise, to the Beckham boys. Adorable.

Who magazine is out now, until this Friday.

Eau De Nous - celebrity fave fragrance! Exclusive to Josie's Juice






Exclusive to Josie’s Juice!

The new fragrance taking the US by storm - and available online internationally - is Eau De Nous, the brainchild of two gorgeous and talented sisters, Daya and Vally Fernandez, who founded the fragrance brand in 2010.
Celebrity fans include Demi Moore (she's got 'em all), Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton, Rachael Leigh Cook, Hayden Panettiere, Mila Kunis, and Brittany Snow.

The focus of Eau de Nous was to create a series of fragrances which reminded the sisters of their childhood.

It brings together subtle yet sublime scents of nature (citrus, gardenias, lilies, roses, jasmine, and more) in a versatile line of colognes for everyday occasions.
The creatively unrestrained duo were always determined to stay true to the philosophy behind their creation -“inspired by nature, designed by passion.”

Bebé Breeze is soapy with rose and lily, Citrus Charm is bright and zesty, Gardenia Gift is enriched with clove, and Jasmine Joy blends classic jasmine with honeysuckle and sandalwood.

The fragrances come in 10ml and 100ml sizes; visit www.eaudenous.com for more information and to purchase the scents online.

Maxi Skirts: Evil Twin, represent



I love maxi skirts... okay, so they don't love me (ever noticed how they are about, oh, a metre too long us shorties) but this one-sided love affair still endures.

I am happy to cultivate a relationship with them though ('cos that's the kinda person I am!) as I have discovered I can roll the waistband down a few times, cinch it in with a sexy belt... and feel the maxi love.

Combining a gorgeous silhouette, and any one of a million patterns, you can let your imagination run wild with a maxi skirt – that’s the beauty of the trend. Tuck in a collared blouse and wear with a killer pair of clogs, or throw on a cute sleeveless sweater and belt up. Just divine.

This haute collection of printed sheer maxi skirts are from the fashion label Evil Twin’s winter 2011 collection called 'The night is for hunting.'

Well-priced, easy, cute and comfy.

For Evil Twin stockists, call 02 9212 4788.

Eva Longoria: Allure, April 2011





Eva Longoria is on the cover of Allure April 2011 issue.

It's her first magazine shoot since her divorce was finalised from Tony Parker recently.

Here is an excerpt from the interview:

“I’m kind of having to find new patterns because I’m not used to having—I’m used to always being on a plane and flying to a basketball game,” Longoria says of her daily routine, eyes tearing up. “It’s been—every time I talk about it, I want to cry. It’s been hard. Very hard. I’m just trying to get through it as gracefully as possible without any drama.”

She says of her Desperate Housewives co-stars. "Two actors who I lean on heavily for life advice are Marcia Cross and Felicity [Huffman]. We're like sisters," she says. "You know, some people collect plates and stamps and coins. I collect amazing, smart, interesting women."

Not only is she spokemodel for L'Oréal Paris (and has released her own fragrance, Eva by Eva), she's a restaurateur and an now, an author. This month, she is publishing Eva's Kitchen: Cooking With Love for Family & Friends, a compilation of recipes she describes as "a memoir of my life with food."

Bradley Cooper - Marie Claire US, April 2011








Bradley Cooper is on the cover of US Marie Claire, April 2011 edition.

Oh yeah, with his Limitless co-star, Aussie actress Abbie Cornish.

Abbie looks stunning with her newly-dyed raven hair.

But, oh Bradley... those eyes!

In the interview inside the mag, he talks about an intimate scene he shared with Abbie.

Marie Claire: Bradley, your character in Limitless is Eddie, a down-on-his-luck writer who discovers a superhuman drug, and Abbie, you play his girlfriend. Is it hard to create a sense of intimacy on-screen with someone you don't know very well?

Bradley Cooper: The first scene we shot together was probably the most difficult in the movie. Eddie's at his lowest in terms of getting off the drug, and Abbie and I had only just met the day before, so it was like, Bam! I'm falling all over her, and she's cradling me. I think we were able to bond because all we really had was each other in that experience.

The magazine is on-sale from March 22.
