‘Love You’ Nails for Valentine’s Day / Wedding Manicure Nail Art
Inspired by Valentine’s Day and my engagement ring, I created a soft pink manicure with silver hearts and crystals that spells out ‘LOVE YOU’ when held next to each other. What’s great though is that from far away, it just looks pretty and sparkly, but those close enough to you will get the message. It’s …
MEGA VOLUME HAIR : John Frieda Full Volume Hair Dryer Review *Video*
This post is brought to you by John Frieda… all opinions are my own! A few years ago, after decades of using cheap drugstore blowdryers and ending up with dry, straw-like hair, I finally splurged on an “expensive” hair dryer. Of course it’s all relative, but I spent over $100 on a new dryer and …
Pink Jeweled Nails | Valentine’s Day Manicure
I’ve been trying to think of a cute new Valentine’s Day Manicure like my Heart Nails from a few years ago, but I’m a little lacking in the creativity department lately. Luckily it’s just the beginning of February so I have a little over a week to think of something else. But this is a …
Hair | Touching Up Roots in Between Salon Visits w/ Color WOW
A few months ago I was sent Color Wow Root Cover Up {temporary hair color/powder} to try out and I’ve been sort of waiting for my roots to grow out to really give it a proper test. And now’s that time! As I’ve probably mentioned a hundred times since 2007 when I started this blog, …
Nails | Black & Rose Gold Manicure Inspired by The Nike+ Fuelband SE
I bought the husband the Nike+ Fuelband for Christmas and two days later had to buy one for myself because it was so cool and he was having so much fun with it. I got the limited edition Fuelband with the rose gold clasp and LOVE IT… but I think it’s sold out now :(. …

15 Inspiring Nail Art Pinterest Accounts & Boards Worth Following
Pinterest is a master at the art of time suckage, to quote the movie Reality Bites. It can suck us all in for hours and hours, as we pour over and pin perfectly pretty and somewhat unrealistic photos of what inspires us to create a more beautiful life. But sometimes we get lost in a …
Plum Manicure with Plaid Accent Nails by Jamberry Nail Wraps
Jamberry Nails sent me a fun packet of nail art wrap designs to try out over a month ago but I’ve been giving my nails a rest to rejuvenate. After months of weekly nail art manicures, they start losing their vitality, and begin cracking, and breaking daily, and so I generally like to give them …
A Short & Sweet Cat Eye Makeup Tutorial from Alexa Chung
It’s difficult not to like Alexa Chung, try as I might, it’s actually impossible. She’s too “real” and too honest for me to really hold onto anything that would make me dislike her, though I don’t stop trying. I recently read her book IT and though it was a little boring, I’d read it again …
