I know the holidays are still a little ways off, but I've already started building my wishlist, working out my holiday decorating game plan and writing out my shopping list. One item that will definitely be featured in all of those? The Kate Spade Surprise Ornament! It's super cute and I'm pretty sure it's the perfect piece for the holidays. It's the epitome of them, if I may say so.


Closed, it's a...

I adore the holiday season. I mean, a season that encourages you to drink rummy eggnog? YES PLEASE and I will take two! Another reason why the holiday season is the best thing ever? Holiday collections. Whether it's limited edition, special packaging or collections of products that offer great value, the holidays mean that our fave beauty brands release some incredible goodies. Best part? They...

It's Wednesday, which means that we're halfway through the week. It also means that I kinda think we have to celebrate. I mean, we made it halfway through, soooo yeah, that's a reason if I ever heard one. And what better way to celebrate than with a cocktail? 

I've really been loving cocktails lately. A well made cocktail at the end of the day? Nothing better. Of course, a fabulous glass of...

My season is fall/winter. By that, I don't mean that my favourite season is fall or winter. I mean that I werk fall and winter. I own this season - I just look better. In fall and winter I get to wear pants, sweaters and skirts and tights. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but skirts and tights are my thang. Also my thang? Not shaving. And with all my tight and pant wearing, I never have to!...

Winter is coming. Or so Game of Thrones fans keep reminding me. Side Note: I still haven't gotten into GOT, someone tell me if it's worth the hype. In any case, they're right. Winter is coming and we need to prep. Winter chilliness kind of blows, but the good news? New coats! And the winter coats this season have some fabulous trends happening. I'm dying over the cocoon coat shapes, oversized...

I'm always on the hunt for the best shampoo and more importantly, conditioner. Having curly hair means my locks are always parched and need moisture. A good quality shampoo and conditioner are key to keep my hair happy! 

Right now I'm using Pantene Pro V Curly Hair Series Shampoo and Conditioner and I'm enjoying it, but I'm due for a new bottle or two soon, so I want your recommendations!...

Dear Lady Gaga,

I have some questions. Mainly, WTF is up with you lately? I appreciate art, I get the whole 'express yourself', creating something beyond yourself and contributing to the world or whatever, but homegurl, you are going off the deep end. 

You have been dressing all sorts of crazy lately and I think it needs to stop. You're at the point of no return here. Bring it back to the world...

It's November which means three things: 1. It's frackin' cold 2. It's gloomy and 3. MOUSTACHES. The first two are awful, but the third (if you're me) kind of makes up for it. You chicks know, I love a man who can pull off facial hair. The moustache is the most difficult of all facial hairs to wear, though. When Movember comes around, some guys pull off the moustache more than others. 

So...

We've been talking a lot about cozying up lately and with good reason. Ladies, let's face it: it's November and therefore hibernation season. Put on those jammies and curl up, it's going to be a doozy. Everyone has their own way of chilling out and personally, hibernation is where I get into chillax mode. It's all about me time. I love my friends and family, but when I hibernate I get to...

Remember that AH-MAZING Asian acne absorbing spot treatment I found (slightly by accident) and fell in love with? I love it a little too much and ran out recently. My skin has been seriously parched lately (it's like a desert), so I've been looking for a new spot treatment that I can use only on a pimple so it won't dry out the rest of my face. There's a ton of buzz about Mario Badescu Drying...
