Exfoliating has tons of benefits — it reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles (any woman’s arch-nemesis) unclogs pores, improves […]

No matter what new fragrance I came across, I still couldn’t find one that was perfect for me. […]
Killer Tan on Demand: Jane Iredale Tantasia Self Tanner
I don’t know about you, but I feel a billion times more beautiful when I am tan. I’m not sure if it’s my skin tone or hair color, but I definitely can’t rock the pasty sultry look like Twilight beauty Kristin Stewart. I also have a mega-fear of skin cancer (and you should too!) so […]
Big Girls Don't Cry (unless armed with waterproof makeup of course)
Waterproof Makeup Picks from Sephora. Lately it feels like we’ve been darting from one air-conditioned zone to the next. It’s not that we’re afraid of a little heat. It’s more the fear that our makeup will melt down our faces à la Sissy Spacek in the horror flick Carrie. We don’t want to scare any […]

Dove go sleeveless Fashion Challenge – Play to Win!

Smooth and on the Move (Finally!) with Bliss Wax Strips
After many unfortunate and painful wax expeditions, I finally felt like I had perfected the art of the do-it-yourself wax job. Unfortunately, I hadn’t yet found a product that worked with my on-the-go lifestyle. The traditional at-home wax kits are definitely not TSA-friendly and even if you check your cosmetic bag, finding a microwave to […]
