I was asked on my Formspring page today if I had a skincare post and I realized that I do have a "how I got clear-er skin post" but I don't actually have a post outlining my daily and weekly skincare routine, so it's about time I do one! I will divide this into sections to make it easier to follow: Cleansers: Morning and night, I use the La ...

Five Things
1. On Shopping: Unlike most weekends, I didn't plan a shopping trip this weekend. Fate had other things in mind and as my H and I were on the way back from Home Depot picking up some things for the house, we realized we needed something from Target and the closest one was in a nearby mall. I ended up visiting a few stores, and even with ...
An Ode to the Victoria’s Secret Lacie Thong
When I love something, I tend to get a little over-excited and dramatic about it. I just can't help it. A great fitting dress, amazing blush or incredible nail polish can set me over the edge a little bit (with uncontrollable enthusiasm). I recently realized I've never posted about the Victoria's Secret Lacie Thong and it's about time ...
New Dry Shampoo Alert: Suave (Lemony Goodness)
You know I'm a baby powder devotee when it comes to my dry shampoo of choice, but when I saw online that Suave came out with a new dry shampoo, I had to try it, even though I already owned the Tresseme Fresh Start dry shampoo (more on that later.) I picked mine up at Target for under $3 and tried it out Sunday morning on my 4th day hair. Let ...
2011 Celebrity Beauty Inspiration: Shantel VanSanten
Shantel VanSanten is one of those under the radar celebrities. I watch her on One Tree Hill each week (yep, I watch OTH, flame away!) and once saw her and Robert Buckley at the airport (I would have asked for an autograph or picture, but I was wearing turquoise, paint-stained cropped sweatpants---don't ask.) You can read the story about ...
Review: Urban Decay Afterglow Glide-On Cheek Tint in “Quickie”
When I buy new blush, I almost always immediately go back to my tried and true "peony" blush by Bobbi Brown. So you know when I try a new blush and wear it every single day for more than a week---that I really love it. I'm talking about the Urban Decay Afterglow Glide-On Cheek Tint. I got the color "Quickie" which is a bright pink color that ...
Weekend Shopping: MAC & Sephora
Today consisted of yet another uninspiring shopping trip. I'm really starting to wonder why I even bother anymore. Shopping used to be fun and inspiring and exciting and lately it's been sad, disappointing and just plain dull. I'm still crossing my fingers that it's all because we're still in between seasons, because if this is what I have ...
Obsessed With: Urban Decay Primer Potion
Most of you know I'm not a big believer in primers and what they do for the skin. I have tried many brands of skin primers and I never liked how my makeup looked when I used them (though, to be fair, I use powder foundation and that might be part of the reason.) I have heard countless raves about Urban Decay Primer Potion (or UDPP) from ...
Sweet Valentine
Last year, H and I made reservations at one of our favorite restaurants for 8 p.m. and we ended up eating at 11 p.m. Let's just say we didn't want to do that this year. It totally kills the romance when you have to wait around for 3 hours to be seated (while your tummy is growling because you saved yourself for a big dinner!) We ...
OOTD: A Standout Piece
Do you ever buy something that you think is really cute and then end up wearing it so much that you realize it was one of your best buys of the season? That's how I feel about this H&M sweater coat. I can only think that my grandma's sweet spirit was shining down on me when I discovered this sweater coat while shopping in Bratislava after her ...
