It's time for spring cleaning! And chicks, this doesn't exclude your beauty collection either. We've discussed makeup expiration dates before and it's important to remember that these actually do matter and they extend to your perfumes as well. This springtime, it may be time to ditch some of those old scents and try out a fresh new one and even if it isn't time to get rid of...

As a guilty pleasure fan of the show Once Upon A Time, I'm actually a kind of a closeted Jennifer Morrison fan. I like her cute, unique style and her tough as nails attitude, which is why when I saw her rock a men's suit on the red carpet, I was pretty impressed with her moxie.


I'm usually not a fan of women doing menswear, it always feels a bit like a novelty and too kitschy to me....

We haven't done a Gratuitous Hottie Face Off in a while so I'm pretty excited to get talking about these two fine specimen. However, I am even more excited this week because this week, the hotties are double connected! Not only are they both named Chris, but they are also both in the upcoming movie, The Avengers! Chris Evans (left) will be playing Captain American (ohhh, tights and...

I happened upon this website the other night and was immediately blown away and thought, this, this is what I've been looking for. eShakti is an online store that sells blouses, skirts and dresses in ready to wear as well as customized. This means that you can chose either to buy off the rack, as is, or you are able to input your measurements, chose your preferred skirt length, neckline...

Sangria is one of the best summer drinks. Ever. In the history of the world. I challenge anyone who says otherwise to a sangria drink off. My theory on why sangria is so delicious is such: it contains everything awesome in the world in one drink. There's wine, fruit juices, fresh fruits, sugar and sparkling sodas. Have you ever drank a pitcher on a hot, sunny day? That right there, is pure...

As many of you already know, I make it a point in my life to make sure everyone around me is getting enough glitter in their lives. Which, brings me to this week's nail tutorial. Lorna loves a bit of bling, but she's also very minimalist and basic in her beauty and clothing choices. So, while we wanted to test out these sparkled out nail stickers on Lorna, we also wanted to find a way to...

Ever since Mandy let us in on her beauty secret for soft and clear skin (i.e. cod liver oil), I've been scouring magazines and the internet to find out all I can about vitamins, supplements and other healthy items that all help you look your most beautiful!

I mentioned last week, that it is my mission this spring and summer to look gorgeous every single day. With my track record, this goal isn't going to be easy but with the gorgeous makeup colours and trends this spring, I think I can definitely manage. One of the toughest parts of this is actually the fashion area. 

You wouldn't think it would be all that challenging, but it's...

I am amazed by couponers. I have never been able to understand just how they do what they do. I recently started doing some research on how I could go about getting my coupon on, but with all the information out there and all the calculations I was doing, I have to admit I was pretty overwhelmed. Who knew that high school math would come in handy one day? So, I enlisted the help of member and...

Sometimes there's an actress who you absolutely adore but who just has the worst sense of style. You don't want to say anything bad about them because you really do love them but still, that outfit, those shoes, that bag; it's all so disappointing! That's how I feel this week with this red carpet look on Cobie Smulders. Cobie is amazingly funny on How I Met Your Mother and...
