Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI once told you about a wonderfully relaxing, albeit naked time I had at a Korean sauna. I was in my birthday suit and there was a massage that occurred. I won't go into all the details. What I want to tell you about today is something that happened during my massage. My masseuse gave me something called a dry brushing.
Getchyo' mind outta the gutter.
Dry brushing is using a rougher,...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basJust like I associate Christmas with the scent of eggnog, gingerbread and peppermint, summer has a distinct set of smells as well. For me, summer is filled with fresh, invigorating scents that make me think of lying on a beach with a mojito in hand, even if I'm actually lying in an office chair with bad coffee.
Here are four of my favourite summer scents and a few ways to incorporate...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI love my bed. I love going to bed. It's my personal space. It's a time just for me and it's the place I go to unwind from a day at the office and catch a moment's peace. Clearly, beds are important. Because they are where you will end up spending many hours every night, I think your bed should be decked out with everything you love.
How do you surround yourself? I put together a few...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basNot too long ago, I let you in on a little secret for fixing clump city lashes: use an old wand to separate them! This got me thinking, were there other uses out there for old mascara wands? I always end up with loads of tubes and mascara wand samples can easily be picked up (i.e. sneaked out) from Sephora, other uses for them would be so handy dandy!
Well, I found 'em. Prepare for 5...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basToday I want to talk about an unsung beauty hero: stick foundation.
When's the last time you used one of these? Or maybe you've never even crossed paths with any. It wouldn't be unlikely. Foundation sticks haven't been the popular foundation choice for a while, but I think they deserve some time in the spotlight.
Foundation sticks are easily blendable, simple to apply and high coverage. The...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI just need to say this: I love blush.
I really, really do. After my foundation and concealer is finished, I feel like my face is just lacking. Blush brings the glow back. I also use it as a contour to define my cheekbones for a pretty flushed look.
I'm quite loyal to Tarte's Amazon Clay Long Wear Blush, but lately I've been noticing that it's too powdery for these sweaty, humid months....

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI know we've already talked about spiked summery treats this week and posting yet another article might seem a little redundant. But ladies, it is Daiquiri Day this July 19th, so naturally we must celebrate! I mean, Daiquiri Day comes but once a year (unless you're me and Daiquiri Day is any day ending in the letter y).
To help you out with your DD celebrations, I found a few thirst quenching...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basHow many times have you gone into a shoe store and completely fallen in love with a pair shoes? Only, there's just like one itty bitty detail that you cannot stand. Maybe the heel is just an inch too high or (ugh!) if only it was a closed toe and not a peep toe!
Enter in shoesofprey.com, a customized shoe design site that allows you to choose a basic design and then mix, match, pick and...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI'm a total cranky-pants when it comes to the summer heat (just ask any of my co-workers or friends). I get so lethargic and all I want to do is stay home by myself, sit in my underwear and watch Netflix. When these days get especially bad and I should really be sequestered away from civilization, I reach for lipstick. Remember: when all else fails, there is always lipstick and retail therapy...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basHere it is ladies: I like big bags and I cannot lie.
I don't know if it's just this jet setter, summer vacay attitude I've adopted since coming back from my NY trip, or maybe it's just that I've been seeing lots of friends lately and crashing at their places. Maybe it's that I'm just a packrat and I must keep absolutely everything. In any case, I cannot get enough of big totes.
I'm...
