YouTube is a goldmine of information. Especially when it comes to beauty. I think we definitely proved that with our round up of 10 Jaw Dropping Halloween Tutorials. However, those tutorials aren't exactly 'office appropriate' so we thought a guide to your essential makeup tutorials via YouTube was needed...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWhether it's making your normally luscious locks do an excellent impression of straw or giving you a serious case of hat head, winter is not a good friend to your hair (or skin for that matter!). This is doubly true for those of us with colour treated hair. Add that daily wash and the heat from your curler/blow dryer/straightener and you've got a recipe for dry hair disaster on your hands...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThere's something about the cold weather starting that makes me want to curl up in my bed at 8 pm and not get up until I absolutely have to (which is about three snoozed alarms later). Not only does this just feel oh-so-good, but there's definitely something to getting your beauty sleep. When you get more sleep, it's physically noticeable.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basYou may already know that I'm a huge snack fiend. I love my munchies while at work, on the go or just lazing about at home. And speaking of lazing about, you may already know that when it comes to food and cooking, I can be a bit (ok, a lot) lazy when I'm making a meal for one.
