Ball of Hair Bands

Back when I had long hair, I would always find myself "hairtie-less" at the most inopportune moments. I was always searching the house, the car, and the dark corners of my purse for a "pony tail holder." Bumble and bumble has given us a fun solution by revamping the idea of the rubber band … [Read more...]

Envious No More

Do you remember your first bottle of nail polish? I do. It was dark blue and was probably Wet 'n Wild brand. Since it was my only bottle at the time, I applied it often and used almost a whole bottle. Since then, I've acquired a few hundred bottles of nail polish. Hi, my name is Sarah … [Read more...]

Function meets Fashion in the Summer Hat

This past weekend the sun made an appearance in New England and I took full advantage. However I also paid a painful price because I forgot to grab a hat.

I've tried the traditional eyelash curlers in the past, and the effect was nice enough, but I found the apparatus difficult to use. I have trouble getting all of my … [Read more...]

Stop the Burn

Living at the beach means on most summer days you can find me and my kids with our toes in the sand. Sandcastles, boogy boarding, jumping waves, it's all in a days work for us. Being in the sun all day requires multiple applications of sun tan lotion, but inevitably we still manage a few burns … [Read more...]

The Mascara that really is THAT AMAZING

I think I have found True Love with a Mascara! I'm NOT kidding this is the LOVE I have been looking for! This is the stuff that when you walk into the room people will ask..."Did you lose weight?" "new hair cut?" "what's new about you?" This stuff is THAT AMAZING!! As I have, ahem, aged, … [Read more...]

Precious Sleep

One of my biggest struggles since I've becoming pregnant has been trying to get enough sleep. (At this point I'm not even trying to get beauty sleep I'm just trying to get enough functional sleep so my brain works in the morning.) I also know that I need as much sleep as I can get because when the … [Read more...]
