About five years ago, on an idiotic whim, I let my inexperienced friend cut my long hair to about chin length. Since then, my hair has been on a downward spiral.

So, yes, you could say that I envy her. If that's not enough to make you want to simultaneously hate and love her, she's also mastered the technique of looking...

The other day I was in need of some serious comfort food. However, at the same time, I was also feeling extremely lazy. The battle of hunger vs. laziness is a constant struggle. Well, until now that is, because I've found an excellent compromise: mug meals.

Imagine getting that slice of chocolate cake that you're craving within minutes. It's possible. You can literally have your cake and eat it...

Oh em gee. I love Kirsten Dunst. She's so cute and quirky and she was in the cinematic masterpiece known as Bring It On. I also love her because she wore a checkerboard dress from Louis Vuitton's Spring 2013 collection.
