Brilliance’s Diamond Engagement Rings Of all the jewelries a woman can wear, the engagement ring certainly takes the cake!

And while there are ruby, sapphire or emerald engagement rings, none can definitely top…
We are all looking to streamline and shorten our beauty routines, right? The trick is managing that without looking like you’re cutting corners.

I haven’t read Dr. Howard Murad’s anti-aging prescription The Water Secret, but I’ve heard some good things about it. From what I understand, it’s basically a common sense approach that emphasizes a healthy diet (rich in raw fruits and vegetables) as the best means for attaining your most beautiful skin.

I’m no scientist, but if I were, this is the kind of experiment I’d perform: I’d have one woman with fabulous hair and one woman with terrible hair run a foot race. If my hypothesis is correct, Ms. Rapunzel Locks would clock in well ahead of Ms. Brillo Pad Head. That’s because we all know how empowering great hair…
No matter what you’re wearing, a brilliant smile is the best accessory, which is why I’m always on the lookout for new dental care products. I’ve written before about my Sonicare toothbrush. While I love it, though, it’s not for everyone. It’s a bit of an investment, and because you must periodically purchase replacement brush heads for…
Despite the fact that they’re my birthstone, it took me a long time to get into pearls. They just didn’t suit my personal style. Over the past few years, though, my style has evolved and I have gotten into them in a big way. These days, I wear my pearl studs at least three days…

So I have a confession. In my house, we waste too much food. Despite the fact that our pantry and freezer are perpetually stocked, we order in Thai or Chinese any night I’m feeling tired or lazy.

So I happened upon a store that I have got to share with the people… I had never heard of Martin + Osa before but they are a classic American cool for the classic American gal. Outrageous prices? Nopers. Ill fitted clothing? Ummmm EXACT opposite. I had one of those experiences where everything I tried…

She is also in Clairol’s Nice ‘n Easy commercial as “Gigi” – your “Guardian Girlfriend” helping you to keep dark roots at bay! Ms. Kinsey was…
I have recently been introduced to the wonderful world of makeup. I was never a girl who loved makeup. In fact, I recall all those times I had to go to a sweet sixteen or wedding and my mom was always telling me to use some lipstick. I guess I always had in my mind…
Recently, I was lucky enough to attend a wonderful blogger event, hosted by TJX- the parent company of both TJ Maxx and Marshalls.
