If you are passionate about travel, learning foreign languages and hanging with celebrities, Nadine Jolie is your girl! Here is why we love this lifestyle blogger…

1. I was born in New York City, spent my childhood in San Diego and Dallas, grew up in Atlanta, graduated from boarding school in Santa Barbara, went back to New York City for college, studied abroad in Paris, and then spent my mid/late 20s in Palm Beach, London and Los Angeles. Next up: San Francisco!

2. I didn’t have my 1st kiss until I was 17 (and a half) years old.

A few months ago, HSN asked us if we would design a holiday ornament to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

A. I would never say no to helping children
B. I will do anything HSN ever asks of me
C. As a Jew who never had the joy of her own tree, I was ecstatic!

This was our creation, thanks to Todd, who gets all the credit for the design.

Our original idea included scaffolding and crystals that streamed to the floor but Todd, being that he has experience with Christmas and building things, assured me that it would not work.

Purple Lab’s newest intern is Anna, who I met during New York Fashion Week! Have fun getting to know her and follow Anna on Twitter here.

Meet Mikela Lifland, the newest addition to the Purple Lab Multi-Tasking Maven Gang!

Attention Fashionistas!

As you know, Purple Lab is extremely inspired by fashion, hence our creme blush, Cheek Implants in Six Inch Heels and our Huge Lips Skinny Hips lip gloss in Red Sole!

To celebrate the launch of our new foundation, Silk Sheets, we partnered with Chictopia, the ultimate destination for style-obsessed clothes horses (me being one of them) to launch the “Foundation of Style” contest.

We know that every girl has those key items that make up their Foundation of Style, be it your go to shoes that are impossible to walk in (walking is so overrated!) or a fedora, made chic by adding a broach, feather, or a crystal necklace around the base.

And the Multi-Tasking Mavens keep on coming! Meet our newbie Amanda…

If you are not yet familiar with @MsAmandaGreene or @LALupus Lady you must get to know her. now. She is the sweetest, kindest and spunkiest gal in Los Angeles, not to mention a huge advocate for raising awareness of Lupus (and Purple Lab)! Amanda has been a loyal Purple Lab customer and friend of our brand since our launch.

Here is Amanda’s entry to one of our Brickfish contests.

She hosted a Purple Lab on HSN Screening Party!

Amanda recently traveled to New York City and wanted to make it memorable – including an experience with Purple Lab. So, here is what happened. As told to me…

Meet Annie, Purple Lab’s newest addition to the multi-tasking maven family. Annie will be interning with Purple Lab and also with one of our favorite college Web sites, Her Campus (Karen sits on the Her Campus board of advisors!).

Have fun getting to know Annie, we know we did!

Braniac. Athlete. Fashionista. Chef. We fell in love with her and warning – you probably will too!

1. I have two dogs named Calvin and Coco. They’re half maltese, half poodle, and I’m pretty sure they’re the cutest creatures on earth.

2. My favorite television show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. People used to say that I look like Sarah Michelle Gellar, which made me the happiest girl ever.

3. I was an English major, but I’m really good at math. I went all the way through multivariable calculus and linear algebra in college.

I’ve been chomping at the bit, impatiently waiting for the release of Mockingjay, the third of the Suzanne Collinis fantasy sci-fi Hunger Games series.

And it’s out! I just ordered it, mandatory office reading, today!

If you haven’t read the series, you’re missing what may just be the best books ever written. It’s like Lost meets Gladiator – gripping, dangerous, violent, sweet at times, romantic at others, and completely addicting.

I poured through the first two books of the series in two days and I am not a fast reader. I just couldn’t put it down. And I need to share the love.
