Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI've dealt with my fair share of acne issues. I've chronicled them in various articles here, here and here and yet, despite how many masks and spot treatments I try out, it never ceases. It's just something I try and deal with on an ongoing basis. Essentially, my skincare routine is a balancing game: trying to figure out the perfect mix of drying and moisturizing.
You might remember my...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThey nice thing about shopping for kids is that they aren't hard to buy for. Get 'em whatever the hottest toy of the moment is, and suddenly you're the best aunt/mom/babysitter/sister/'insertrelationhere' in the world. The problem? I have no clue what the hottest toys are. Are Beanie Babies still a thing?
Well, if you have the same issue. Never fear. We did all the hard work for you. We found...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basBoys are the worst. It always seems to me, that somehow they are the most easy going and yet the most difficult to buy for. Ask my boyfriend, father, brother what they want for Christmas and they'll lazily answer: "Oh, I don't know, anything is fine with me." But really - WHAT DO YOU WANT? Please, do me a favour and just tell me. It's actually infuriating.
So, in order to keep my...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basA recurring topic that comes up when my gal pals and I are gabbing about relationships and men in general? Hair. One of my friends is fixated on guys hair. And I don't think she's alone. I myself have been known to have a certain affinity for facial hair and I know fellow ChickAdvisor staffer Miranda has a love for men with an undercut hairstyle.
With that in mind, I thought maybe there were...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWe just posted our holiday gift guide for the lovely ladies. I think we did a pretty darn good job of rounding up gifts to suit chicks with many different styles.
However, on any Christmas list, there are always at least a few people who seem to have everything. Or, they abide by my 'treat yo self' policy and are always snapping up whatever they want - so what's left for you to gift them?...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basDuring the holidays, I spend a lot of time in PJs. Christmas day is spent almost exclusively in comfy, loose PJs. It's kind of the best thing ever. Of course, if I'm going to be lounging all day long, I'm going to look cute. Which is why I found the most adorable PJ sets out there to rock this year:

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIt's that time of the year again and whether we want to or not, we have to start thinking about shopping. I know, groooaannnnn.... Friends and family can be so picky and difficult to buy for. The last thing you want is the dreaded 'present face' of a frozen smile and the words, 'oohhhhhh...woooowwwww...thank you, you shouldn't have' (and they're really thinking you shouldn't have).
To make...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThe other day, I wanted to bake some buttery biscuits to pair with my dinner. Evidence that sometimes, I can pull off the homemade gourmet meals. I gathered all the ingredients and whipped them up. When I pulled them out of the oven, they were less than impressive. Small, sunken, flat and not at all raised and fluffy. Evidence that sometimes, I completely fail at homemade, gourmet meals.
I mean, I...
