Well, traditionally makeup contains some type of petroleum dye, which is what gives…

I just started reading Twilight. (I know, a little late to the game on that one.) It’s a totally enjoyable, guilty pleasure read, but I probably wouldn’t have picked it up if it weren’t for the overwhelming vampire takeover going on in pop culture. Any trend that burns this bright is destined to crash hard…
Last week, when I was doing research for my post about Chic & Eco Friendly Handbags for Fall 2009I came across these to-die-for reusable steel water bottles from Cool Canteens.

While it’s no doubt that Over The Knee Boots are the hottest trend for Fall 2009 and Winter 2010, classic knee high boots are still a must for your Fall wardrobe. If you are looking to buy a new pair of boots this season, look for rich leather and luxurious suedes in colors like black,…
