I’m pretty sure that everyone can agree that the quintessential Halloween movie of our time is the amazing The Nightmare Before Christmas. Can you even believe that that movie is 22 years old?! Neither can I. But no matter how old it gets, it remains a CLASSIC, and a beloved favorite with children and adults …
I don’t know why but ever since I watched Thoroughly Modern Millie as a kid, I’ve been kind of obsessed with the 1920s. If you haven’t seen it, it features Julie Andrews as a wannabe flapper, looking for the perfect man – one who respects her as a woman and as a person. It’s one …
The Queen of Hearts is probably one of the most popular characters to dress up as for Halloween! I love the bright red and the glitter in this look. If you’re wanting to go all out, use white face makeup. If you just want an “inspired” look, use regular foundation. After your foundation of choice …
Makeup has such an amazing power to transform us into people more comfortable in our own skin. We can use it day to day to feel our best, or we can change things up and REALLY go for it. Why wait for Halloween to be someone new and different? Today, we have our amazing model …
Ever since Amy Winehouse made them famous, it seems like everyone is obsessed with how to get perfect cat eyes. The winged eyeliner look was popular back in the 60s, and now it has made a HUGE comeback. It’s a great everyday look. A fresh face with dramatic eyes will mean you are remembered for …
After a long day of stress and anxiety, sinking into a warm bath can be heaven. Sinking into a warm bath that is infused with fragrant, relaxing bath salts is twice as good. Bath salts are an amazing addition to your bath routine and, what makes them even more amazing, is that you can make …
There’s not much I love more than DIY beauty products. And when they are SO simple to make, there’s really no excuse not to give it a try. Since I suffer from severely dry sky that flakes off all over, I love anything that exfoliates AND moisturizes. That’s why I love this Rose Petal Sugar …
Nothing quite hits the spot like a good old bath bomb. Stick it in the water as you fill up the tub, and it fizzes and releases wonderful smells, while coloring the water and relaxing you instantly. But they tend to cost way more than they should, and when you can easily make them at …
Yay! It’s one of my favorite holidays just around the corner! I love me some Easter pastels. Something about this particular holiday fills me with nostalgia for my childhood. I think it’s the fact that all the little boys are girls are dressed in their Sunday best and looking like perfect little angels. Plus I …
Ever since I started going No Poo, I have been on the lookout for cute ways to wear my hair. Since it is still in the ‘transition stage,’ it means it often looks either greasy or super dry. So styling becomes super important. So I’ve been looking for awesomely awesome hair styles to try! Here …
As I said in my earlier post, I have been going “No Poo” for about twelve days now, and today I decided to give my hair a little treat by using a brick of Lush “Caca Rouge” henna on it. I thought it would be a good thing to do a video blog so you …
Have you ever thought about the possibility of going No Poo? No, it has nothing to do with your bowels, I promise! Instead, it is the idea of going without shampoo anymore. The idea has intrigued me for YEARS, and I’ve spent a heck of a long time wanting to try it. Six or seven …
I came across this post recently from the Gala Darling blog. It is all about loving yourself and not relying on others to make you feel special. It made me realize that like so many others, I don’t take time to appreciate who I am and where I come from. I constantly look to others for validation …
For over three years now, since just after I found out I was pregnant with Dexter, I have been planning my next tattoo. With three under my belt, I have been yearning for another.
