Busy Girl Beauty Tips

A while back I wrote a “Beauty Tips For The Lazy Girl” post, and it seemed to be pretty popular. Makes sense because everyone gets lazy sometimes. Life ain’t always a bowl of peaches.

Quick Tip - Blending Your Lipliner

Blend Blend Blend. That’s basically the makeup manifesto, but for some reason a lot of people only follow that rule for their eye makeup and blush.

Spring Nail Colors

I don’t know about you, but I need a little convincing on all this “Spring is in the air” talk. I guess it’s technically starting soon, but it’s still cold here and I need a little bit more of a push to get me in the spirit. So I figure a good way to doContinue Reading

My Favorite Hair Masks

You Guuuuuyys! I finally got a haircut! It feels so fresh and so clean clean! Seriously, it feels real good. My hair was really long, and I won’t lie to you, I was digging it, but it was also getting really hard to manage and it needed to be shaped and thinned out. The endsContinue Reading

Product Pick - The Body Shop Serum in Oil

It’s not often that I’m super impressed by a skincare item, which is why you may notice that I don’t feature them all that often. I do like to make sure that I am always doing everything I can for my skin though, so I try to include all of the important things in myContinue Reading

How to Clean A Stubborn Brush

I’ve lectured everyone before on why it’s important to wash your brushes, so I won’t go into that again today, but you should be doing it, just sayin’. But what happens when you have one of those brushes that seems like it just never want to come clean, no matter how many times you washContinue Reading

Glossy Lips For Spring!

So word on the street internet is that glossy lips are hot for Spring. Which is ok by me because glossy lips are pretty and easy, but honestly throwing on a sheer gloss doesn’t exactly inspire me to write. Oh, and don’t expect me to put away a bold matte lip anytime soon either, becauseContinue Reading

Styling Cream - The Product I Didn’t Know I Couldn’t Live Without

  I need a haircut SO BAD. The last time I had it cut was August. AUGUST! The problem is that I don’t trust anyone new to cut my hair, and I haven’t been home to New York for a while. I was home for Holidays but it was too hectic to get it done.Continue Reading

Not Quite Spring Cleaning - Nail Polish Organizer

This week I have been doing what I like to call Not-Quite-Spring-Cleaning.

Spring is for eating belgian fries and drinking somethingContinue Reading

(Another) Winter Lust List

I’ve been online window shopping again. AKA the poor man’s retail therapy. Do you ever do that? Like go online “shopping” at your favorite stores and just put items into your cart even though you know damn well you aren’t buying them right now? It’s super dumb, but I swear it works. It’s totally therapeutic,Continue Reading

Open Up The Tired Eyes
