Statement Necklaces

One of my favorite trends lately is the Statement Necklace.   I've tried to hop on the adorable scarf bandwagon, and just can't.  I can't stand to have bulky things wrapped around my neck (I've never worn a turtleneck in my life...ever) because I feel like I am strangling.  But the statement necklace is a happy medium for me -- I get … [Read more...]

For over ten years, I had short hair.   We're talking chin length.   I loved my short hair and I felt like it suited me...the only BAD thing about it was that there was no throwing it in a bun or ponytail.  It had to be washed, dried, and straightened daily, or it looked like a hot, sticking up mess.   About a year … [Read more...]

Mascara Throwdown

I am a mascara girl. It's one of my "if you were stranded on a deserted island and you could bring only 3 things" items.   I know. But the thing with mascara is that once I think I have found THE ONE...I always seem to find another ONE. With that said, though I always come back to my tried and true Loreal Voluminous.  It's been … [Read more...]

I'm the first to admit that I jump on board almost any trend that comes along.   I mean...who am I to argue with an excuse to buy new stuff?   But every now and then, a trend comes along that I'm just not sure about.  Sometimes I end up caving (remember when capris started to come back in the early 90's?  I swore I would … [Read more...]

Hey! So Pinterest has made me think that I need to make everything myself. DIY Windex, DIY scarfs, DIY furniture...   But since I much prefer to spend my hard earned dollars on completely non-DIY stuff I usually ignore most anything that requires me to make stuff that I could easily buy at Target.   Until I saw a picture … [Read more...]

So I've been meaning to do this post for about 10 months. I'm not exaggerating. I bought this Essie, Matte About You ages ago... I've tried it a time or two. I'm not really sure how I feel about an entirely matte nail. It's not my favorite look. I feel like it kinda looks like an old manicure. But what I do kinda love it using … [Read more...]

Nudeslider

If you know me, you know that I have a bit of an eyeshadow addiction.   Well, I actually call it COLLECTING, because it sounds more acceptable, but you get my drift.   And while I'd like to say that they're all different and totally necessary in their own way...a lot of them are just slightly different versions of the EXACT. … [Read more...]
