This morning, I used hot rollers for the first time in awhile. I use ones by Conair that I got at Target. You can buy similar ones here. Hot rollers are pretty easy to work with, though I find that they don't give me as much of a curl as using a curling iron does (probably because they don't get as hot as my Hot Tools curling iron- which I love, ...

I have been waiting for her to wear her hair long again for quite some time. DON'T FORGET TO ENTER MY GIVEAWAY FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A $50 GIFT CARD TO SEPHORA!!!! I ...

OOTD: Giraffe City
I don't know that I've ever considered a giraffe print for clothing, but this dress changed my mind. Its pretty coral-colored animal spots have won me over. Some of you might remember from my weekend shopping post that I got this dress at LOFT for 40% off plus another 15$ off. I always feel even more awesome when I wear something I saved a ...

Motivation Mondays, OOTD & Weekend Shopping
I know I haven't done a "Motivation Mondays" post in a long time, partly because well, I've been seriously lacking motivation. It's a combination of things...stress, laziness, tiredness (probably a result of the stress.) I just haven't been feeling like my usual energetic, motivated self lately when it comes to working out. I'm trying to get ...
A Friday Shopping Trip- Why Buy Anything At Full Price?
Fridays aren't typically shopping days for me, but this Friday was different because tomorrow is my husband's birthday and last-minute shopping is my specialty! (I already got him one of his gifts, but he got it early- a pair of TOMS shoes.) I also had to pick something up for my father-in-law (for father's day and his birthday which was also ...
Outfit of the Day & A Health & Fitness Confession
Today I wore my weekly all-black outfit. I wasn't feeling inspired this morning to throw together a colorful ensemble, so black it was. I also incorporated my new J. Crew studded belt that I got on sale for $9.99: Tee- Victoria's SecretCardigan- Charlotte RussePencil Skirt- Banana Republic Shoes- Michael KorsBelt- J. CrewNecklace- ...
Essie’s “Van D’Go” Was A No-Go & A Coral Outfit of the Day
I had high hopes. I really did. I went out of my nail polish comfort zone and tried out two coral/peachy colors: Essie's "Shop Till I Drop" and Essie's "Van D'Go". In the bottle both colors look bright and beautiful, but on the nails, it's a whole new story...with an unfortunate bad ending. So, because pictures speak louder than ...
