Whew! After a week of being snowed in, I've finally been out of the house. You would think that being snowed in would give me that push to get shit done. What it actually made me do was sleep and eat more than any human being should. But it also gave me the time to get some reading done, which was great since...

Drugstore makeup tends to get a bad rap. While we are all usually excited for the spring and fall product releases, they don't often make our favorites list. But drugstore makeup has come a long way since I first started wearing it all the way back in 7th grade. Some drugstore finds are even staples of my everyday makeup routine-- and I'm always...

Origins had a great deal on Cyber Monday-- yes, ages ago-- where you could purchase a set of their most popular skincare products in deluxe sample sizes for only $15 with free shipping and handling. I was in the car on my way back from visiting family when I learned of the deal and I rushed to make sure I bought it. I...

Let it snow, let is snow, let it stop. The snow started early Friday morning and didn't let up until yesterday evening. We're in the process of digging out of nearly 20 inches today and, even though the snow is light and fluffy, it is still a mother to shovel. I think the mid- to late-twenties are when you start to notice certain...

After being pleasantly surprised by my first Target Beauty Box in December, I was thrilled when they offered two this month. Both were filled with plenty of goodies, but one I was especially excited to try out was the Revlon Ultimate All-In-One mascara. Revlon claims that this mascara will give your lashes five benefits: volume, length, definition, lift and intense color. But what is...

I am not a fashionista. I generally wear the same thing every day: a t-shirt or sweater, black jeggings and motorcycle boots. And, right now, my life doesn't really include events where it would be appropriate to wear a proper gown or fancy dress. That is why I love awards season: I live vicariously through these actresses. In my mind, I get to...

I woke up this morning to the awful news that David Bowie had departed our world to become the starman he was destined to be. There are some people that have such a powerful presence in this world, it feels like they must be immortal. David Bowie was one of those people, and the impact he had on my life was... I don't...

There are few things I love more than a lazy Sunday, and that is exactly what today is. I've spent most of the day on the couch marathoning Say Yes to the Dress and planning a wedding for my, myself and I so I can have an excuse to try on some gorgeous dresses. Yesterday I bought a couple of copper wire baskets from...

As a blogger, social media consultant and freelancer, I spend most of my time working from home. But occasionally I do leave the house for meetings or to pick up some supplies for various projects. Yesterday was one of those days and I thought it might be interesting to snap a few pictures and do a Day in My Life post. ...

Sometimes you have a blog post written up and ready to go, but then something comes along that you feel like you absolutely have to post about. This book was that something. Books are a great way to nourish our minds and spirits but, if you're like me, it can be daunting to pick just one book to read at a time. It's...
