Major fashion news: being a slob is now cool. 

Seriously. Sloppy, disheveled, hot mess is now a style. And, I'm kind of happy about it. I mean, if I can be comfy and lounge around and still be considered trendy, then I'm a happy (albeit lazy) camper! 


Proving that slob = cool, designers showed loose fitting, draping clothes. Paying an homage to grunge (the ultimate lazy fashion),...

I have had a major case of brow envy lately. Everywhere I go, I constantly scope out other people's eyebrows. I know, it sounds weird, I can't help it though! I've got brows on the brain. I am a woman on a mission for the perfect brows. 

You may remember, almost two years ago we pulled a beauty transformation with our brows and tried different shapes and colours for a before and after....

I love an unexpected surprise. Like when you find money in your jeans pocket. Or when you go to buy that jacket you've been coveting forever, only to be told that it's 50% off. Or, hidden talents. Like when I bust out my cherry stem tying at a party! Or, more likely, when something you thought had only one use, actually has a few secret super powers you were totally unaware of. 

For our Tip...

So, it's hot out. Obscenely. And I'll be honest, I'm having a hard time adjusting. Fun fact about me: I hate being hot. I dislike sweating immensely. I would not do well south of the equator. 

What I loathe however, is when my makeup literally starts to melt off my face. Makeup, sun, heat and sweat don't really do well together, do they? It kind of just accumulates into a puddle on the floor....

About two months ago, I read a post by a blogger and loved it! She wrote about how much she enjoyed taking baths. I thought to myself, 'YES', this is what I have been searching for! I needed some relaxing me time to help me unwind after a stressful day and this fit the bill. 

Since I've started taking long, luxurious baths, I've become somewhat of a connoisseur. When it comes to salts,...

Not too long ago I started having some major skin issues. Like a twitter feud between two celebs, my face and the rest of my body were in constant battle, and things were getting ugly. Since then, my skin has calmed down somewhat (mostly due to prescriptions from my doctor and a good skincare routine), but I've still been experiencing some small crops of pimples. 

Since I've been...

The last time I wore heels for an extended period of time, I ended up with three blisters and two ruined soles. It was not a good day. That being said, while I haven't given up on high heels entirely, I'm not exactly going to be wearing them out all day any time soon. My heels are strictly bar to car from now on. 

With the season of summer vacays, festivals and beaching upon us,...

When it gets to the point in summer where you step outside and immediately start sweating profusely, it's easy to reach for the same summer uniform again and again. It's comfortable and you don't have to think. Here's the issue though: you aren't looking as fabulous as you could. 

You chicks are adorable little creatures, so why aren't you showing it off? 

With a...
