Ā Looks oddly similar to our old master bedroom, no? šI tend to be one of those people who doesn’t paint every room in her house a different color. I like neutrals, I like consistency, and I don’t like walking into a room of a house that doesn’t look like it fits with the rest of …

Education & The Power to Change… My Journey to Now
I was that annoying girl who loved high school. Correction: I was that even more annoying girl who loved going to school because she got to see all of her friends and be social and hang out and talk through her classes. I rarely missed school because I feared missing out on some important social …

Are You as Excited as I am to see "Side Effects"? Enter to WIN a trip for 2 to NYC to See it!!
I’m kind of ridiculously excited to see Steven Soderbergh’s new movie “Side Effects” after just viewing the trailer for it. It looks interesting, suspenseful, totally thrilling, and very provocative.

COVERGIRLĀ® BLAST FLIPSTICKā¢ ~ Have You Tried This Yet? {+GIVEAWAY}
I’m more of a gloss lover than a lipstick fan … mostly because I can’t control the lipstick from smearing all over my entire face when I wear it. But also, when I’m applying makeup, I tend to play up my eyes more and leave my lips on the neutral side. That’s kind of why …

Sonia Kashuk Fall 2012 Makeup Collection…
Confession: I feel prettier when I wear makeup. I know, it’s like wearing my insecurities right on my sleeve, but I do. I feel more feminine and more finished when my face is “on”, as my grandma used to say. I don’t even wear that much makeup on the regular but I do use it …
Rachel Zoeās āMajor Must Havesā from Jockey… OMG, DIE!
I have to admit that I didn’t own any shapewear until BlogHer offered to let me try out Rachel Zoeās āMajor Must Havesā from Jockey. It’s not that I don’t necessarily need it but I never actually think of it as an option. If a dress doesn’t look good on me when I try it …
