I’ve always been slightly obsessed with my fingernails and have spent a king’s ransom in manicures over the years. I love how clean and – well, polished – my hands look after a professional manicure. I recently tried the new Gel Manicures that are becoming all rage. A gel manicure is a type of manicure that uses gel to…
Too grown up for glitter and sequins? It used to be standard protocol to show up to a party decked out in glittering mini dresses and sequin tops, and sparkly ballet flats. As I get older however, those looks seem to be a better fit for Barbie. Don’t get me wrong, glitter and gold have their…
I stumbled across The Lip Slip one day with my daughter. There were samples at the register and I tried it on without really thinking about it. A few hours later (truly – a few hours!) I noticed that my lips were still moist and glossy and that The Lip Slip was still going strong…
1970’s Fashion Is Stayin’ Alive For Another Season and No Exorcist Is In Sight But, all demons aside, closeted or otherwise, I am not quite sure I want to see 70’s inspired fashion exorcised from the my own closet just yet.

T-shirts, sweaters, dresses, skirts, everything has a januty, nautical feel about it. These are some of my favorites: You can find this dress at Cusp.com. It’s…

I was on the official Ugg website sussing out some new styles when I came across these beauties: The Classic Women’s Ugg Shortie in the super sequin style! Available in Black, Silver and Gold,…
It’s hard for me to do a product review of Febreze, because I’m kinda bias… I just absolutely love EVERYTHING from Febreze. I mean, they could make poop on a stick and I would probably at least give it a chance. Febreze can do no wrong in my book. So of course, I was eager…
Since Valentine’s Day ( the ultimate date-night) is closing in on us, we figured it would be a good idea brush up on the classic red lip. I don’t know if it’s the color red itself, or confidence of the girl wearing it, but red lips are a marker of sex appeal. Unfortunately, applying red…
Something you might not know about me… I’m a HUGE Bob Marley fan. If I’m going to listen to some tunes in the car or while I’m working around the house, I almost always go for either Bob Marley (or Michael Buble)! I was really excited to hear that Grammy-nominated musician Ky-Mani Marley, the son…

Their non-sale prices are better than the clearance prices in most department stores and I always find something I like for at least of the members in…
I don’t have a giant list of resolutions this year… I have more of a wish list of sorts. My big one is to lose these 20lbs leftover from my last pregnancy. My son is 4 months old now and I think it’s time to buckle down and get serious about getting back in shape….
