I love fragrances. I've been wearing perfume since I received my first bottle of Ralph Lauren, Ralph and I coveted it, using only the teensiest amounts at a time. I actually still have some left.

I love the internet. It's just has a wonderful wealth of information. Literally anything you want to find, you can. You need to see a video of a Panda sneezing? Got it. A tutorial on heat free curls? Got that too. With the sheer amount of stuff out there on the web, you could spend hours just sifting through it all to get to the sites that matter to you. Which is why this week, I did the work for...

In college, one of our favourite games to pass the time between classes was Wed, Bed, Dead. It goes by a few other names, but the basic premise is this: you have three men to choose from and you need to choose one to wed, one to bed and one that ends up, well, dead. 

I thought it might be fun to play our own little version of the game that I'm calling: Make Out, Marry or Meh! Here's the deal:...

Ask me what my number one, on the go, must have makeup product is: lip balm. I gotta have me some chapstick! I'm fairly certain a case could be made for a mild addiction. Then again, I do have an affinity for a gorgeous bold red lipstick. And of course, a subtle tint is always welcome. Really, I guess you could just say that I'm all about a great lippie. 

In my research (i.e. online...

I'm a self confessed sweet-toothed sugar addict. You got a dessert you don't want anymore? I'll take it off your hands for you, free of charge. Now, I'd never say something so blasphemous as 'sugar can get boring' but I will say that once in a while, you need a flavour kick to jazz it up a bit. 

This is where flavouring sugar comes in. Flavouring sugar is similar to infusing an alcohol....
