Only, after the holidays are done, Present Alexandra is not such a fan of Past Alexandra's decision to observe that tradition. I don't know about you but I don't think I can look at another plate of turkey. Or mashed potatoes. Or stuffing. And please, don't even offer me any sort of chocolate or cake.
To help get...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWhat's with winter and black? It's like as soon as the cold weather hits, we all collectively put away anything pastel or bright and instead opt for greys, blacks and the occasional white. Wearing all those dark colours seriously gets me in a funk. I am fairly certain that S.A.D. (seasonal affective disorder) is in part caused by winter wardrobes. Besides, who was this (clearly awful)...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basNew years resolution time is here and I'm going to bet that at the top of many of our lists is 'exercise'. I know it's at the top of mine. Only problem is, I hate running (and by default, all forms of exercise). I fear that this will most likely never change. So my only course of action is to really try and come up with new ways of motivating myself.
It takes a lot to get me...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWith all the beauty products out there, I admit that sometimes I find myself in a state of beauty ennui. It all gets to be the same after a while. Hydrating cleanser? Yawn. Been there, done that. It takes something really interesting and special to wake me up from this beauty product fatigue. With the new year upon us, I've been searching out new skincare products to shake up (and...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI will admit, though I'm not a fan of Demi Lovato, whenever I see her on the red carpet I admire her. She's pretty fearless in her fashion choices and (while I don't have it on any real authority) I get the feeling that she genuinely loves and enjoys whatever she's wearing. So even if she doesn't always look amazing, for the most part I forgive her.
But this time I am drawing...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basOh 2012, you were indeed good to us. Not only did you provide some seriously sexy eye candy, but you also gave us the unexpected news of a Kimye baby at the very last minute. Those scrumptious delights (hello, Magic Mike anyone?) and baby madness aside, 2012 was also the year of drastic celeb hair makeovers. Celebrities were switching colours, chopping it all off or changing it up to suit...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basGoodbye 2012 and Hello 2013!
Someone once told me (and I hope that whoever it is doesn't read this because for the life of me, I cannot remember who exactly it was) that at the beginning of every new year, if you can look back and say, 'What the heck was I thinking?' then you've lived an excellent year.
Looking back and shaking your head means that you've evolved,...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basFact #1: I love shopping.
Fact #2: I love getting a great deal.
Fact #3: I hate crowds.
Malls (especially on Boxing Day, nay, Week) are places of craziness that I avoid. The line ups and packed stores are too daunting. Just the thought of waiting in a hot store with my bulky winter jacket makes me cringe.
Like all of life's issues, the Internet has a solution. Thank...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIn case you are/were living under a rock, the world was in a tizzy last week because we all thought everything was about to end. Like. Forever. Yup, that's right. It was supposed to be the end of days according to the Mayan calender. However, (and you should know this because you are reading this right now) we survived! Hurray!
The potential end of the world did get me thinking though....
