I have long aspired to be the kind of lady that never bites her nails or chews nervously at her cuticles, whose perfectly filed and polished manicure is perpetually chip-free and shiny. This kind of lady I am not. Happily, though, I’ve recently discovered (and become OBSESSED with) a new nail product [...]

It’s been far too long since I last posted. In my defense, a lot has happened in the past six weeks or so. Not only did I wrap up the holiday season with plenty of parties, but my boyfriend surprised me with a New Year’s Eve proposal. In January the thrill of being newly engaged [...]

Ah, Halloween. The one day, each year, that we are all free to try someone else’s persona on for size. A day that allows little girls to become princesses, little boys to become superheroes, and grown women to dress like slutty cats/nurses/police officers. For me, Halloween has always been about the makeup. It’s [...]

It’s hard to ignore the impact we, as humans, are having on our environment, and even though I wouldn’t consider myself a full-on Greenie, I do try to do my part to live an eco-friendly lifestyle. I’m a big believer in making small changes that can add up to a big impact – recycling, [...]

I love lavender – I have long considered it my signature scent. Sure, I occasionally stray from it, trying various perfumes and body lotions that do not contain that soothing floral, but I always return to it and always feel most myself when I’m wearing some sort of lavender – and I’m not alone. I’ve [...]

Throughout the majority of the year, it’s unlikely that you’ll find me with brightly colored nails. I generally stick to a routine of classic red pedicures and sheer pinks or nudes on my fingernails. But during the hot, sunny, energizing summer months, I’m usually inspired to spice it up a bit. Normally I buy myself [...]

It seems like most people either love feet or hate them. I know people who grimace at the mere mention of toes. I know others that live to flaunt their peds and accessorize them with sexy sandals, jewelry, and polish. And we all know that some people really love feet. Scandalous foot fetish videos, hilarious [...]

Sometime’s a girl just needs a change. With my birthday fast approaching and a new job just around the corner, it feels like a good time to get a new look. I’m starting to feel like a grown up, and as such, I want to look like a lady. In addition to shopping for new [...]

I tried not to like Lady Gaga, I really did. I didn’t want to. I don’t condone dressing in bubble wrap or meat. And yet… Her songs are so damn good! To call them catchy would be an understatement. And her videos are pure genius. The very first time I watched her “Bad Romance” video, [...]
