I am a sucker for something that I can put little trinkets and treasures in. Whether it’s a small dish, a little box, or something more intricate, if I can store stuff in it, I’m interested. These custom monogrammed ring dishes or trinket dishes are a perfect addition to my collection. The best part is – they’re easy to make, and you can have as many as you want in no time at all. I used my ...
Can you believe that it's almost fall already? While, yes, I do realize it's the middle of July, school starts in a lot of areas in less than a month. Whoa! That really almost doesn't matter, though. Know why? Moccasins and loafers are a great style of shoe for the summer. Most of us don't think that way, but they are. I know I always think of loafers with ...
Have you given in to your summer haircut yet? While I like the idea of long hair, I really just can’t commit to it. I think it’s partially because my hair is thick and wavy, and kind of has a mind of its own. It goes into a bob really well, and so I’ve sort of resigned myself to that. Recently, though, I tried out The Shab. ‘The Shab’ is a modern progression of the bob, adding more life to ...
For most of my life, I have practically lived in the water. From sometime around April, when it was no longer instantaneous hypothermia, you knew to look out by the pool if you were looking for me. This lasted until October or so, when instantaneous hypothermia started up again. When you're a water lover like that, you need one thing - a lot of swimsuits. NO ONE wants to ...
I’ve been travelling a lot this summer. Some of it has been for pleasure, some has been for business. One thing remains somewhat constant though – my travel makeup bag. The reason it stays the same varies from “I’m too busy/lazy to change it out” to “It works for so many different occasions.” My travel makeup bag doesn’t have a ton of pieces, yet at the same time it does. Some of these ...
Ever since they had their renaissance in the Spring, I have been all about the matte lip. Im not sure what is causing this obsession, but I am totally head over heels for the matte lip look. Mehron Cosmetics must also love the matte lip look. Their L.I.P. Day palette has 8 shades of lipstick, all in a matte finish. ...
I am a sucker for a canvas knock around shoe. You know, like Keds that look so adorable with pedal pushers and clam diggers? They look super cute with shorts or a summer dress, as well. Or Vans and Converse that are a perfect fit for your boyfriend jeans and overalls. You know what I like best about canvas shoes though? You can toss them in the washing machine when they get icky. Whether ...
Some people want heat. More heat! Hotter! Spicier! If that's you, or someone you know, I've got a treat for ya! Spicy Tequila Cocktails. Recently, Sauza® brought out a new tequila - Sauza® Cucumber Chili Tequila. They've taken their Silver tequila and added some heat with the chili flavor. The fresh cucumber taste is there to cool the heat down. Try these spicy tequila cocktails made with ...
