We were recently invited by Cougar Boots, to take a look at their pop up shop that just happened to be down the street from us. We perused their winter boots collection and they were kind enough to let us pick out a pair for ourselves! 

Because great minds think alike and also probably because we have been working together for far too long, we all chose the same pair. So obviously when they...

#1 BB and CC Creams 

BB (Beauty Balm) creams were one of the major beauty products of 2012 and the buzz about CC creams came later on, causing a major ruckus in the industry. In 2013, BB creams will continue their reign but CC (Colour Correction) creams are poised to become the next big thing.

Periods suck. Period. They are no fun, and we don't need to pretend that they are, but we do need to get on with our lives when they hit.

We recently received a forum question from a lovely chick who had some issues with her work wardrobe. Member Tigerlily was wondering what pieces she should be investing in to add to her closet.

Being an adult is hard. Like, super hard you guys. For realsies. So sometimes, it becomes necessary to #treatyoself. If you aren't already familiar with this concept, it's the idea that once in a while, you just need to throw caution to the wind and indulge yourself in some gratuitously unnecessary (but, I mean like, totally necessary) items.

Exfoliating your face a few times a week should be part of your skincare routine. By removing dead skin cells, it helps to keep your skin smooth, reduce acne and refine your complexion.

Come mid-January, my skin is screaming for a little TLC. It needs some extra special attention with the cold weather, snow, wind, sleet and rain. Not to mention the fact that it's still in recovery from the holiday season.
