Around the holidays, I always start filling the room with fragrance – it’s a habit. From cinnamon sticks to peppermint to pomegranate (post on that one to come!), and now strawberries. I absolutely love candles, but I love diffusers just as much. They’re so easy to use and seem to last forever! The newest one […]
While “skinny” is a word I sort of loathe right now (the end of these nine months can’t come soon enough!), The Skinny, the new high-end skincare “sample sale” site (up to 75% off, yikes!) is way cool. It launches tomorrow, and it’s beauty on the cheap! Become a member by clicking above. To give […]
The ponytail has become my ol’ standby lately (hey, I’m eight months pregnant – give me a break!), but I’ve actually figured out even a ponytail can look icky without a proper blowdry. I wash my hair every other day not because I want to, but because I’m lazy. But there is no doubt in […]
My name means “youthful one” and I’ve always been oh-so-proud of that. It’s always seemed to hold true (hey, I still get carded and walk around the house singing Tina Turner songs, don’t tell me I’m not youthful!). It’s hard to feel youthful when you’re pregnant though, no? I mean, my name will soon be […]
My love for Fresh is rooted deep – le sigh. I first discovered the line while working at Seventeen, and then when I became Beauty Editor at another local magazine (and in charge of all the loot!) my love continued on. It also helped that I couldn’t buy the products anywhere in town – boy, […]
The holiday season (which isn’t far away!) always get me in the mood to try out new scents. I’m always a huge fan of anything pumpkin, cinnamon or spice. But when it comes to my perfumes, I lean towards floral and feminine, light and airy. And I’m not much of a fan of vanilla unless […]
Happy weekend, everyone! Hope you’re out enjoying the cool (some cooler than others) fall air – ahhhh, I know I will be. Haven’t made it to put my make-up on just yet; just finishing up my morning Web-surfing routine with a nice Zone bar. Let me tell you – I’ve never been a brow girl. […]
The past couple of weekends I’ve been a mover and shaker. Yep, I’ve visited with the in-laws twice as well as my own family. Birthdays, memorials, football games and other events, I’ve been one busy pregnant chick! And of course, while I don’t condone wearing heels all the time while expecting, it’s nice to put […]
I must admit it. I don’t even work full-time, and I can’t stand to go without eye make-up. Maybe a couple of days here and there, but otherwise? I just feel naked! I run to the mailbox in hopes of not being discovered by the lurking “neighborhood paparazzi” if it’s before my morning beauty routine. […]
Where do I begin? As you know, I love trying out new fragrances. And I don’t know where and when it happened because I used to always have a “signature” scent. My sister G. on the other hand? She collected bottles upon bottles of scents on her counter – always filling the room with a […]
