I love it when a trend is universally flattering. There is nothing worse than being in love with a style and knowing that you'll never be able to pull it off (I'm looking at you harem pants, bustier tops and boyfriend jeans). Fortunately, the hottest Spring trend and Pantone's colour of the year happens to be flattering on every skin tone.

Deodorant is a great invention, isn't it? Not only does it keep you smelling like a bed of flowers but it also helps you keep your cool in any sort of stressful situation. 

I don't think I'm the only one who feels this way about deodorant. I mean, just look at these folks from this vintage deodorant commercial:

If you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing Anna Kendrick in action in Up in the Air, 50/50 or Pitch Perfect, here's the deal: she's crazy cute, super talented and hilarious to top it off. Follow her on Twitter, you won't be disappointed (and then while you're at it, follow us too!). Because I adore me some Anna, I'm tempted to give her a pass, but there's...

This week, we're back with a Review of the Week that for some reason, I don't think we've ever done! I cannot believe this has passed me by! Anti-aging products are super popular so I'm not sure why we haven't talked about them yet. I myself have been known to test out a few anti-aging products (I'm big on prevention), so I would love to hear your recommendations!

If you have indeed been living under a rock for the past few months, or perhaps you actually have a life and spend time away from the computer and television (unlike me), then here's what you need to know about the much anticipated On The Road. It was released in select theatres back in May 2012 and was recently rereleased. It's been a while since then, but there's still...

I'll be the first to admit it, everything in this post today you totally do not need. They are completely unnecessary. You could go your entire life without having anything in this article and you would die a satisfied individual. 

HOWEVER, just think of how much better your life could be with one of these items in it. Sure, you don't need it, but you are going to be SO happy once you...

Hey Ash,

Can I call you Ash? Is that cool? I just wanted to write and tell you how much I like your face. And your hair. Totally adorable. So, um, gimme a call sometime? I'd be a great BFF and shopping buddy.

St. Patrick's Day is traditionally served with green beer and most likely whatever free bar snack is available.

This year, I think we can celebrate better than with stale green beer and nuts. In its place, we've rounded up 6 delicious (and always classy) cocktails and 6 mouth watering desserts:

Drinks 


1. DIY Shamrock Shake (Alcoholic Version!): We whipped this up last year, but this delicious...

A beauty routine is an excellent thing to have. When you have one, you develop a signature style and have a go-to look that you can recreate in minutes. That being said, you can also get into a habit and it's easy to get stuck in a beauty rut. You tend to reach for the same products and reuse them without sensing that your beauty routine has maybe become more foe than friend. Your skin tone,...
