When there's no fennel for your recipe, will an artichoke substitution make or break this roast salmon?

Snarky music consumers are all too quick to write off John Mayer as a tabloid magnet blues poseur — except that he’s actually got fans in pretty high places (like, for instance, Eric Clapton). Seeing Mayer live offers an opportunity to appreciate anew his ability to fuse crowd-pleasing pop choruses with gritty, virtuoso guitar licks; it’s almost enough to atone for the cloying abomination known as Daughters. He’s gearing up for an extensive tour in support of his latest, Battle Studies, which features the controversial single Who Says. Tickets for Mayer’s March performance go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday at all Ticketmaster outlets.

I am all for multitasking beauty products. Did you know Biosilk can be used on elbows for softening? I think I have found the ultimate product that pulls double duty (of the moment, of course). Halo by Belmacz Beauty is a luscious cream loaded with crushed pearls, anti-inflammatory rosehip oil and cocoa butter. It also boasts 24-karat gold-leaf flecks. It’s meant to be a body moisturizer, but it also makes a great lip balm. As if that wasn’t enough, since it has a luminous sheen it works well as a brow and cheekbone highlighter. Oh yeah . . . it smells like roses, too. Belmacz Beauty is the brainchild of the acclaimed Belmacz jewelry house designer Julia Muggenburg. Halo is $46 at barneys.com. I searched for a lower price online, but it hasn’t hit Amazon yet, and if you order it from Europe, it’s double the price before shipping.
