I'll admit that I'm not the most athletic person, but when the Olympics come around, it puts me in quite the festive mood! It seems I'm not the only one. Whether it's Olympic inspired makeup or fashion, everyone seems to have a case of Olympic fever.

That inkling you get when you feel an evil eruption on your face about to surface, is probably one of the worst feelings. It might start as a small pain while you're sitting at your desk at work, or maybe just a bit of redness while you're window shopping on the weekend; but by the time you get home, you've got a full blown 'yikes' situation. 

It's happened to me way...

I love lip gloss. They're inexpensive, fun, cute and you can never have too many. I'm constantly buying new ones because they're always coming out with new colours and finishes. If you're like me, you have to have at least 5 different glosses with you at all times. 

Now it's time to put your lip gloss addiction to good use! This week, from July 30th to August 5th, we're...

Cheerio, Mate! I guess it's because this summer's Olympics are taking place in London because lately, I've been having a bit of a British love affair! You could say I've become a total Anglophile, with a need to collect all things English. 

Which is why this week, I'm all about the Union Jack. Whether it's printed on shoes, hair accessories, tees or chairs,...

Last week, I showed you how to revamp an old tee into a cute work out tank. This week, strap on your seat belts and get ready for part 2 in our tee makeovers! 

We're going to be re-purposing an old, boxy and oversized tee into a cute, fringed tee. This one is going to be perfect in the summer heat and come fall, throw on a boyfriend cardi for a boho look.

Busy ladies have active lives and when you're always on the go, you need to build yourself a mobile makeup kit. That's what I like to call the beauty products that are essential to have in my purse. They're the items that never leave my side. They can be products that take me from day to night, help me refresh or pieces that I touch up throughout the day to keep looking my best.
