You may remember from previous articles that my skin and I haven't exactly been on great terms lately. She's (my skin is a lady, afterall) been rebelling hardcore and I'm not happy. While I've been treating and cleansing, I'm still not quite ready to venture out into the world without some extra coverage.

I firmly believe that adults have the right to enjoy candy just as much as kids do. I have a sweet tooth and I'm not ashamed to admit. Do you know what makes candy even better though? Booze. A candy + booze combo is seriously underrated and deserves way more attention than it gets. Also, nothing screams grown up like a boozy candy cocktail, amirite?

Last week, three hot tamales graced the covers of magazines and of course, we had to discuss the merits of each one. This is important stuff, people. 

I don't know about you, but I had a pretty good time debating on which cover girl won. I thought we'd try it again, this time with three new, but just as gorgeous ladies.
