You ladies know I don't like to venture off topic too often, but I felt compelled to write this entry based on my recent experiences with Truvia. Truvia is marketed as a more natural calorie-free sweetener because it is derived from the stevia plant. After years of using Splenda and other sweeteners in my tea, I decided that switching to something ...

Review: Redken Guts 10 Volumizing Foam, OOTD & Back to Black Liner
Today I decided to try out my Redken Guts 10 Volumizing Foam Spray. As you all know, I LOVE mousse. I use mousse every single time I blow-out my hair so I was skeptical about working with a spray foam. After washing and towel-drying my hair, I brushed out my hair with a paddle brush (carefully) making sure not to pull too much. Then I applied the ...
CONTEST WINNER & Some Weekend Shopping…Plus a Perfume Vent
I have to admit I was thrilled when RANDOM.ORG came up with the number "11" out of 169 because it saved me a lot of counting (and re-counting) as I only had to go 11 comments down (yay!) ...and the lucky winner is (and I LOVE this girl- she is a longtime reader and commenter on my blog- and also has a fabulous blog of her own): Olivea from ...
April Favorites and INs & OUTs
Today I thought I'd share my April favorites- products I've been using regularly and loving! These posts are always hard for me because I tend to be a product devotee and don't branch out too often, but lately I have been trying a few new products so I thought I could post these as my April faves. 1. Benefit "Eye Bright" Pencil 2. OPI ...
Louis Vuitton Models Without Makeup- What Do You Think?
A picture of Louis Vuitton's model line-up for the Fall/Winter 2010 show was recently leaked online and caused an uproar of men (and maybe some women) posting about how awful some of these models looked (without makeup) and commenting on how unattractive some of them were, in general. (click to enlarge- source: Jezebel) Note that Victoria's ...
Requested: My Daily EyeMakeUp & An OOTD
This is a much-requested post so I'm so happy I finally remembered to bring my camera into the bathroom with me where I get ready in the morning. This is my daily "eye makeup" routine, step by step. My first step is to apply MAC's studio finish concealer on my lids, and then powder my entire face with MAC's Studio Fix foundation (a ...
NOTD: Essie’s “Splash of Grenadine” and “Chinchilly”
As you all saw yesterday, I got some gorgeous new Essie nail polishes. I think I must be in a purple phase in my life, because lately all I'm buying is purple. The new couch pillows (for our new couch- all from West Elm). This new VS PINK tee I picked up today after returning the HEINOUS "Pink Nation" dress I got for $10. I don't know if anyone ...
500 Plus Subscriber Contest: Products I Love (I Hope You Will Too!)
Every time I go to ULTA to try and find prizes for my blog contest, I end up roaming around for almost an hour rethinking everything in my shopping basket. I finally decided on a few prizes- and I went with a "products I love" theme, because I feel kind of weird buying something for a contest that I've never used myself. Ok, so here ...
OOTN, First Kiehl’s Products and Toothpaste Rave!
Tonight my husband and I went out for dinner and rented "The Blind Side." I'm such an emotional person, I cried on and off throughout the entire movie. I am such a crier. I don't know if I've mentioned that here before, but I cry at commercials, movies, sad moments, happy moments. I pretty much get teary-eyed at every opportunity. Even ...
Blogs: Do They Make you Feel Inspired or Inadequate?
I've been reading a lot of articles about blogging lately, especially on Jezebel. I always find the articles to be so interesting, especially as a blogger- I want to stay informed on what is being said about the blogging community. Today though, I found one of the pieces compelling enough to comment on. It's called The New ...
