It seems like everyone is in love with coconut oil in every capacity right now: as a moisturizer, a makeup remover, or as a cooking oil. In the past, I’ve tried to use it as lotion, but found it not… Continue Reading
First things first: true beauty and happiness do not come in a bottle. No magic lipstick will make you a better person. There is nothing more beautiful than confidence and intelligence will never go out of style. If your inside is not… Continue Reading
Next Wednesday, Coralie and I are going to do a joint post where we pull back the shower curtain and reveal our favorite health and beauty products. In preparation for that, I wanted to share this article that recently came… Continue Reading
Okay, well- much like my touch and go posting this summer the #WayBackWednesday posts got thrown right on out the window- until this week. Let’s just hope I get it all together before Wednesday comes and goes this week to… Continue Reading
I love clothing pieces that come with sewn-in hanger straps. It’s a small pleasure, but it makes life easier. Ain’t nobody got time for finding bunched-up clean clothes that have fallen on the closet floor off their hanger. Although we already know… Continue Reading
I’ve mentioned before my complex relationship with my hair. It has only been within the last several years that I have really developed an understanding and positive relationship with it. I attribute my hair-acceptance to three things: the internet, flat-iron… Continue Reading
I am sure you are going to be blown away to know that I basically wear 3 makeup components. I wear eye liner, mascara and powder. So, eye makeup remover is an important part of my arsenal. And can we… Continue Reading
One of the many awesome things about returning to California from my long trip to Georgia was that I had not one but TWO Birchboxes waiting for me! You may recall, back in June (seems like forever ago- when did JUNE… Continue Reading
Last December I detailed my favorite things of 2013. One of those things was Clinique’s Sparkle Skin body exfoliator. I used it in the shower on my legs in conjunction with my homemade shaving cream. As it happens, I eventually… Continue Reading
I mentioned before how awesome the thrift stores are in my neighborhood. As someone who has donated a ton of clothes in the past, I feel like whenever I find an awesome piece at a thrift store, it is just… Continue Reading
Uggh. I’ve talked before about my unattractive nail biting habit and my struggle to stop. I don’t know if I will ever be free from this particular habit. I found an article, however, that made me think twice about nom-ming on my… Continue Reading
Wrapping up our first week of revisitations, you like that new word?, I thought I would go back to my homemade shaving cream post. I have made shaving cream twice since my original post. The first time, I just followed… Continue Reading
As I was walking to get coffee this morning, I noticed a subtle, yet growing pain in my heel. I, then, noted the super-cute (yet, super-cheap) flip-flops I was wearing. D’oh. If you may recall, I wrote a post last summer about the desultory… Continue Reading
I am a product junkie. Always on the prowl for the perfect product; the magical potion that will “fix” everything wrong. Heads up. If I ever stay at your house, I will probably use some of your product. Always questing. Which… Continue Reading
Way back in the early 2000’s, I remember going to Woolworths/rich in Athens, GA. (Athens historians, which was it? It was in the Beechwood Shopping Center…EDIT: It was a Stein-Mart) I was there to spend a gift certificate I had… Continue Reading
Okay, so there is a substantial hippie part of me that keeps my consumerist side of me in check… most of the time. I absolutely think that perhaps we, as a human race, are taking for granted our planet and… Continue Reading
Courtney Barnett Taylor and I go waaaaaay back- she and I went to preschool together and if we wanna get technical, our fathers grew up together too and I would even guess that our grandparents grew up together and maybe… Continue Reading
Remember? Back when you were little, when you never cared about your skin. Sunscreen and lotions were things Mom worried about and you could not have cared less. Fast forward to today. As unaware as I WAS about my skin… Continue Reading
I travel (by plane) more than some, but not as much as others. I can’t count the number of times that the changes in altitude or general jostling of baggage handlers have made beauty products (shampoo, body gel, etc.) explode in my… Continue Reading
I have super long hair right now. Super long hair. Longer than it’s ever been. I’ve been growing it out for a few years now to donate through Locks of Love to a friend’s grandchild who has alopecia. I had blogged… Continue Reading
