St Patrick's Day is mostly known for indulging. Indulging in food, indulging in drinking, just...indulging. Want to partake, but watching your weight? Skinnygirl has some fabulous St Patrick's Day cocktails that are not only tasty, but won't blow your calorie count. ...
This is a super easy nail look that is packing a real punch. This is perfect for St Patrick's Day nails. It's just 2 polishes, both of which dried super fast and were crazy-forgiving. Sound like your type of nail? It's definitely mine! I started off with a base of Nailtiques Formula 2 Nail Protein strengthener. I had a bit of damage to my nails, and figured it couldn't hurt. ...
I am a huge fan of pampering products. I mean, aren’t we all? Who doesn’t want to be enveloped in a great moisturizing product that smells great? Know what makes those products even better? When they’re all natural and focus on our well-being. That’s the philosophy behind Weleda. It all goes back to 1921 and something called anthroposophy. This movement, stemming ...
By now, I’m sure you’ve heard about Oz The Great and Powerful movie that’s being released. I am so excited for this movie, I can’t even tell you!

Disney has partnered with OPI for a nail lacquer ...
I love a good smokey eye. Unfortunately, I have teensy tiny little eyes and the look sometimes is overpowering for my features. Now, you can get a similar look quickly and easily.

I’d probably save this look for if I was going out for a couple cocktails after work, or ...
I am a huge fan of independent designers. I find that they really seem to come up with stuff that’s quite unusual and unique. Generally, it’s not something that you’re going to find in every store, or encounter a ton of people wearing your item when you go somewhere. One of the things that makes Indie design so great - the unusualness, the scarcity, the lacking of major distribution - is ...
I am a bit of a lip balm addict. I can’t stand for my lips to be dry or not lubricated., and I love to try new flavors. Well, our good friends a ChapStick have us covered. They’ve introduced two new limited edition flavors - Cake Batter and Velvet Cupcake. Say whaaaat??? That’s the very reaction I had when I first heard this news. I had no idea that there were new Chapstick flavors. ...
It's Manicure Monday again. This is a sneak peek of the NaiLuv gel nails system. This color is called Super Freaky and it's a red glitter in a clear base. Sooo pretty. I'm wearing two coats of the color, but I think you could do one coat over another color to mix up the look. I did notice after I took this pic that I have a little cleanup to do. Look for a full feature on the NaiLuv ...
