I love trying new beauty products. It’s fun, and sometimes I end up finding things that I really love. Sometimes I use them till they are gone, and don’t rebuy them
My makeup bag has many things I really love. And a few that I like ok, but don’t love. When I bared the contents of [...]

There are two things every girl should have when walking out the door: great lashes, and shiny lips.
I was not blessed with long, dark lashes, so believe me – a good mascara is truly my best friend. I’ve tried more than I can count through the years, both expensive and cheap. I had a phase [...]

Although I’ve been dying to go for a good pedicure this winter, I just haven’t made it over to the local nail salon. As a result, my heels have been very, very unhappy. Actually, they were in the worst condition they’ve ever been in. Walking was even painful from the deep crack that formed on [...]

Girly girls, this should be the fashion season of your dreams. Been out shopping lately? Chances are, you’ve seen ruffles, bows, rosettes, flowers, and more ruffles at every turn.
Not one for fru-fru fluffiness? Not to worry. This season’s styles offer the perfect way to add some softness and femininity to your wardrobe without going overboard.
You don’t [...]

The cold wave has hit us early here in NC. There’s not much about cold rainy days that I like, but a warm bath always seems to make things better, doesn’t it?
I love a long soak in the tub. For years I’ve stuck with the same few bath products – all organic and lavender scented. [...]

I’ll admit it, I’m a lazy girl. I love beauty products, but I’m not willing to put too much time into using them. I hate to admit this, but I had many nights in my earlier years when I’d go to bed without even taking my makeup off, just because it seemed like such a [...]
