Photo by Insolense Do you have one of those drawers in your bathroom that...well, honestly, you're a little scared to reach into?

Do You Cut Your Cuticles?
January 21, 2011
Because our cuticles tend to get dry and rough, its common to clip them to keep them in check. But this just perpetuates the cycle. When you clip them, they grow back even more jagged. It never fails, when I leave the salon they look great, but two days later they are amuck with hang nails and rough … [Read more...]
review: conair ion shine hair dryer
January 20, 2011
I just got this Conair Lightweight Ionic Ceramic Styler Dryer for Christmas and I totally love it! (I really needed a new hairdryer - my old one smelled like burning metal when I used it.)

a pony tale.
January 19, 2011
As I stood in front my row of shirts and blouses one morning, a question popped into my head. Can I really pull off going to work without having to dry and straighten my hair?

review: l’oreal voluminous million lashes mascara
January 12, 2011
If I was going to be shipped to a desert island and I had to pick just one makeup item, it would probably be mascara. Its a necessity. I've tried tons. I've found a select few that I like, and tons that were thrown out almost immediately. So I was certainly game to try out L'Oreal's new … [Read more...]
review: raw minerals
January 11, 2011
You know those people who roll out of bed and flaunt their flawless skin? Yeah, that's not me. I'm one of the uh, less-blessed people in the skin department. As in blotchy and uneven are two very well known words in my world. So I was thrilled to be able to try out RAW minerals … [Read more...]
It’ll Blow Your Mind (or at least your hair)
January 10, 2011
My husband bought me a blow dryer for Christmas. I know you might be thinking I should be mad at him for such a practical and unromantic gift. Let me assure you, I am not. My quest for the perfect hair dryer has gone on so long that I was actually thrilled with his efforts. Let me pause here … [Read more...]
