One to Watch: Bonnie Wright

by Style and Focus Lifestyle PR


Like most teenage girls, Bonnie Wright is into fashion, hanging out with friends and having a good time. But she's far from being an average teen, Ms. Wright will be starring in one of the most anticipated films to be released this year, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". Bonnie Wright plays the hugely popular character 'Ginny Weasley' and will again be at the center of attention with the upcoming movie. The film revolves around a subplot involving Ginny becoming Harry Potter's new love interest.

Although, Bonnie may be known mostly for her portrayal of the popular J.K. Rowling character, she has other acting credits to her name: she provided her voice for an episode of the popular Disney cartoon series "The Replacements" and made two TV movies: "Stranded" and "Agatha Christie: A Life in Pictures" in which she played a young Agatha Christie.

Besides starring in one of the hottest film and book series, Ms. Wright continues to stretch her acting skills by working on various accents including Australian. This UK native balances her hectic film schedule with school, sports, taking various dance classes, traveling and music not only listening but also playing various instruments including the piano.

Her acting skills are not the only thing that's getting noticed, it's her cool fashion and beauty sense as well, so much so that the 17-year-old has young girls copying her every style. From her hairstyles to what handbag she's carrying they want to have it.

Once the final Potter film wraps up I'm sure this talented young actress will have numerous competing film and TV offers.

Work Chic: Spring Wear Part 1

The start of Spring, signals a chance for fresh beginning with changing your work wardrobe by adding new pieces and taking away some of the winter items.

Friday Fashion Pick: America Ferrera and Alexis Bledel

I think America Ferrara and Alexis Bledel looked stunning at the Warner Bros. Pictures ShoWest event. Both looked amazing, America wearing a strapless dress with flirty ruffle accents and Alexis with a Mod inspired minidress. Both young women looked fresh with light make-up and casual elegant hairstyles.

Ease Body Fatigue with Bath Salts

As the weather starts to warm up, more people are gearing up to go out and exercise. With that sometimes resulting in sore muscles, slight aches and pains especially from a rigorous yoga class, spining, strength training or even from a hectic day at work.

To sort out those aches and pains, soak in a tub of warm water with bath salts. A good one to try is Carol's Daughter Body Aches Bath Salts ($18.00, found at Sephora and Carol's Daughter). This invigorating soak contains a combination of mineral rich sea salt, baking soda and a blend of lavender, tea tree and peppermint essential oils.

Running low on time or just not a bath person, just springle a handful of the Carol's Daughter Body Aches Bath Salts on the shower floor for an aromatherapeutic steam shower. It can also be used as a relaxing way to soak your feet after a long day.
